Bakval hotels in Noord

"The issue I had with the property was the floors were filthy. The tile is beige and it looks partially black. I cleaned a section with a wet paper towel and it cleaned up right away. The problem is, they don’t mop the floors. They only sweep them with a microfiber. Otherwise the rooms are quite comfortable. I really hope Management sees this and does something about it. It’s a shame. The attached picture shows on the left the circle I cleaned with a wet paper towel and showed the front desk. They sent someone to clean it two times and after the second time, I took a paper towel again and I cleaned the right side. The difference in the color of the tile and the grout on the right side is obvious. All it takes is a wet mop. "

"It is our second vacations at Divi. Our pool view room "

"Yes"

"Elite Club oceanfront room with 2 balconies! The resort was immaculate, amenities were great. Elite Club private pool & ability to make reservations instead of having to line up at the specialty restaurants made the trip even better."

"Great location and the staff it’s amazing. Thank you Melissa and Janice . "

"Everything was great. Only exception is the A/C sound in the room. crazy loud and runs most of the time."

"Yes-great view"

"nice view of ocean from our patio. very spacious rooms. "

"Overall a great experience. This was our second trip to the Riu in Aruba, our first trip was 10 years ago to the adults only side of the hotel. We do prefer the family friendly side as the pool is larger and there are more restaurants and amenities to choose from. We did a quicker trip this time, and were there over the weekend and only 2 weekdays. The weekend there was minimal to no construction which was great, and on the weekdays the construction wasn't too disruptive. The only issue was they were peeling off the old paint and with the Aruban winds it was all flying off into the pool area. Again, it didn't bother us much but it definitely bothered some so just beware. We had no issues finding seats by the pool or the beach - just need to get up early and head out to save some before heading to breakfast. All the workers from the front desk to the restaurants to the pool/beach staff were incredibly welcoming and kind. Just as they were 10 years ago when we last visited! Hoping to be back again - and not in another decade!"
