Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive
The resort is a bit dated and the beach in front has eroded unfortunately. The rooms were fine, you're going to be outside anyways! The food and bar were not great. Made us realize we are better off not doing all inclusive. The staff were friendly. Layout a bit confusing and check in should explain ...
