Divi Dirty! (Divi Golf and Beach Resort, Aruba
Cynthia I on May 23, 2025
Beautiful One-Bedroom Suite at Divi Golf and Beach Resort in Aruba: The resort is notorious for its lack of cleanliness. The housekeeper moves from room to room with two dirty, wet, and smelly towels, onl...y cleaning what she notices. It's pretty amusing! The kitchen cabinets and the exterior drawers of the dresser haven't been cleaned in years, and there are layers of dust and visible fingerprints. The floors are dirty because the housekeeper only sweeps up what is clearly visible. It's quite funny yet concerning! The shower receives a quick wipe, while the housekeeper continues with her two trusty, smelly towels in hand. This situation is unsanitary and genuinely disappointing. That was the first and last day I allowed housekeeping to "clean" my room. Additionally, her janitorial cart, left outside in the hallway in front of my door, was disgustingly filthy. Hey, Divi, management by walk-around is crucial for maintaining your brand. Cleanliness and sanitization compliance are essential for effective cleaning and maintenance, leading to truly clean results. By the way, the entire building, including the elevators and staircases, is dirty! New branding: Divi Dirty! What a shame!

The people were wonderful. The room was dirty, needs a good deep cleaning and maintenance. They provide the bare minimum for the kitchen. It was relatively quiet from room to room. The noise came from the ...hallway.
Good but "Signature" All Inclusive Plan Lacking
John F (Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States) on May 20, 2025
My family and I stayed here and opted for the "Signature" all inclusive plan. We didn't realize this particular plan didn't include an option to get anything to drink or eat near the beach (which is acros...s a busy street); strange since they they call it a golf and "beach resort;" this was massively disappointing and I would not have booked my stay if I had known this. This part of the resort also hasn't fully committed to being an all inclusive, so there are hotel guests that are paying as they go and some that are on an all inclusive plan. To keep things sorted, they keep tabs for the all inclusive guests and have them sign "checks" at each bar or restaurant with an itemized list of what you consumed that you must close out once you are done - I found this to be annoying - I booked all inclusive not to deal with this. Our room was nice, comfortable and roomy but we were on the top floor of a 3 story walk up. Climbing several flights of stairs with luggage and children after a long day is not ideal so be careful when you book your stay. Also, not even a single bottle of water is provided in the room which is not a big deal but kind of annoying considering there aren't vending machines readily available and the spread out nature of the resort. Even the cheapest motels I've staying in give you at least a cheap bottle of water. As mentioned, the hotel is very spread out and relies on "shuttles" to take guests around the resort that aren't always available right away. The distances aren't terribly far so walking wouldn't be a huge deal if there were sidewalks but not all the roads in the resort have them, so you are either forced to walk in the road or traverse the landscaping which is not ideal with children when shuttles are delayed or not available. The resort seems to attract a much older crowd so it has a bit of a retirement home vibe to it, this can be good or bad depending on what you are looking for - don't go here for a party thats for sure. It all shuts down very early, 11 pm officially at most of the restaurants and bars, but by 10 you're going to be the only one there. Its about 2 miles from the strip where the newer hotels are so you either go to bed early, take a cab to the strip or go to the casino if you don't want to go to bed right away. Overall, our stay was very nice except for the drawbacks mentioned above. The staff was wonderful and the infinity pool area was wonderful, just make sure you know what you are getting.

Nice Clean Resort, Expensive all inclusive. Room Quality good. Some staff poor attitudes and on there phones when they should be attending to the customers that spend alot of money to be there. Shuttle ser...vice very slow. Sometimes have to call 2x for shuttle Sevice. Overall the stay was good and relaxing at the swim up bar or the beach. Nice restaurante. Nice off campus restaurant where you eat sitting in the ocean water while the sun set. Best part of the stay is not just where you are but who you with.
