What an amazing time in Aruba. Before we arrived I was in contact with Mariana who was so helpful with the accommodations and answering all my questions. The weather was fantastic, the beaches are amazing ...and the food is great. But there truly are special people on the island, Maxi at the seabreeze is like no other, she is kind and attentive, she is like family and my kids adore her. Louise our girl at the Oceanside bar and grill is the kindest best server there and treats my kids so well. Last shout out to Hugo also at the Oceanside bar, he is such a great waiter! It’s people like this that keep us coming back.
Disappointing Stay at Holiday Inn: Poor Service and Misleading Information
César S on May 23, 2025
We arrived on May 18th with a confirmed reservation for five nights in a room with a king-size bed. Upon check-in, however, the receptionist informed us that, since we had booked through a travel agency, t...he king bed would only be available if there was availability—otherwise, we would be placed in a room with a double bed. When we asked him to check availability, he confirmed that a room with a king bed was indeed available, but discouraged us from choosing it by claiming that it was on the noisier side of the hotel. Based on his advice, we opted for the room with the double bed. Unfortunately, we soon discovered that our room was directly next to a nightclub, which was extremely loud. When we complained, he casually responded that the nightclub was “new” and he had “forgotten” about it—something we found highly suspicious and indicative that he simply preferred to put us in that room from the start. Next, I handed over my card for a $250 security deposit. Later, I noticed an additional unauthorized charge of $100. When I inquired, the staff claimed it was due to the large amount of food and drinks we had charged to the room. However, this policy was never explained to us during check-in. On check-out day, we encountered yet another issue. We were told Apple Pay was not accepted for final payment—despite it being accepted at all other hotel facilities (restaurants, bars, stores, etc.). Again, this was never mentioned at check-in. To avoid additional fees associated with the card used for the deposit, we chose to pay in cash. Our total came to just under the amount paid, and we were owed $0.97 in change. When we asked for it, the front desk staff dismissively said, “You’re good to go.” After insisting, the receptionist replied, “It’s only $0.97, and I don’t have coins,” with clear disdain. At that point, the lack of professionalism and respect was just too much. We demanded one dollar back, not because of the amount, but due to the disrespectful attitude we faced throughout our stay. In summary, if you're considering staying at the Holiday Inn, be prepared for two things: an outdated hotel with worn-out amenities, and front desk staff who are unprofessional, unhelpful, and downright rude. We felt completely unwelcome—like they were doing us a favor by letting us stay there. We will definitely not be returning.
