PRESIDENTS WEEK AVAILABLE! Feb. 18, 2012
The Marriotts' Ocean and Surf Club as well as the Occidental in Aruba are all luxury vacations beyond belief. Go to the Marriott website link and check out all the amenities plus the adjacent Marriott Stellaris Resort and Casino, a 7 star hotel and a huge, exciting casino. You have full use of all three sites except for the pools. There is a free concierge on site for you too. The Occidental has a great website also to see the rooms and hotel and all their amenities including a very busy Casino and gorgeous beach. They are in the heart of the high rises.
Aruba is everything you could ever want and then some. Be active or relax. Go on the gorgeous private beach, snorkel right at the hotel, play volleyball, rent a jet ski, or lay in your own little hut soaking up the rays. It always feels cooler due to a warm breeze all year long so you are never too hot and no humidity. That's a great plus for Carribean travel. Perfect weather! And you are out of the Hurricane Belt!!!
Be sure to check out the Mandara Spa at the Marriott. Schedule a couples massage, body wrap or just work out. It's fabulous. And just charge it to your room.
There are many fantastic restaurants plus movies within walking distance so you don't need a car- just take a walk and choose a different place every night. A brand new mall has just opened up . More theaters, shopping and restaurants just a step away. There is a Hertz car rental and an Economy rental on site if you want to go to Baby Beach for the day. I can recommend some great restaurants and activities before you go but you will have a concierge at your disposal too.
And best of all - pricing for restaurants and activities are about the same as in the states - no crazy $$ like in Hawaii or Europe right now so that bottom line stays doable.
NEVER TRAVEL TO ANOTHER COUNTRY WITHOUT INSURANCE. Protect your investment of course but most important is to have the medical insurance in case of an emergency. My husband had emergency surgery in Aruba and air lifting out of Aruba last April and our insurance took care of the arrangements and all the fees.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
I am a reading specialist in the elementary schools and I also supervise student teachers for a university. I love travel and we like to do that a lot. We bought several Marriott time shares and due to the economy we are not using them all right now (we do reserve our right to Aruba twice a year)!! By offering them for rent we are able to pay our maintenance fees and keep them for better times.
Also, by owning so many and renting them year after year I have come to know several other owners who do the same and we often help each other so if I don't have a date you need, I usually can find one for you. I also have some experience booking group trips as I can get multiple units for the same dates for you and save you money and tons of time.
Why the Owner Chose Palm Beach
Aruba is paradise. Need I say more?
The Unique Benefits of this Hotel
We adore the relaxed atmosphere at the Marriott and all the pools, restaurants and even the theaters within walking distance. Snorkeling and other water sports are great fun and we never had a bad weather day yet. The people who live and work in Aruba are so friendly and charming, it can make the whole difference in your stay. We love, love, love it!

Very Nice Place

We spent one night in the Surf club in a 1 bedroom (studio apartment). It is fine for 2 people. Clean and comfortable. Surf side is very Family oriented and the lazy river is fun. Bring a tube! We then moved to the ocean club and had a 2 bedroom apartment. It was very nice. Plenty of elbow room. The ocean club is quiet and seems to be an older crowd. Pool food was pretty good. We liked the fish tacos and chicken fingers the best. Breakfast is $12 each so we went to McDonalds, and Dunkin Donuts. Champions Sports bar had good pizza specials. Robin was very helpful and stayed in contact with us while we were down in Aruba. Only thing I didn't know about was there is a $11 per day resort fee that will be added to your bill. It may have been in the description. It is walking distance to plenty of restaurants. Texas de Brazil is fantastic. 15% coupon available at the concierge in the magazine. Iguana Joes hasd good ribs too.
Owner response:It is great to have two rather different resorts adjacent to one another. The Surf Club is very much for the kids although I do love the brand new adults only pool with all the chairs including several in shallow water!! The Ocean Club is much smaller and so much quieter and perfect for adults or those with older children. I will have to be careful to be sure to mention the daily resort added tax of $11 for a two bedroom villa and $9 for a one bedroom. That can not be prepaid so it becomes the responsibility of the renter. The rest of the 20% gov. And resort taxes are covered in the rental price. I am so happy you were happy with both sides of your stay!! Robin

We are having a very nice time here in Aruba; the place is very nice and I truly love the room it is everything that I enjoy about vacationing. enough room to relax and eat in when I want to and bring home left overs when neeeded. The pool is very nice and the food by the pool is great. We eat at Aqua Grill and Texas Brazil, which I can say was my favorite what an expereince and we met a great waiter who was very nice. Everyone here is very nice and the casino gave me $50 from black jack last night. We went hoseback riding through the cacti preserve and wound up on the beach galluping by the ocean what a magical day. We are headed to the baby beach by jeep today. I have a scuba dive scheduled for Monday and then we have some shopping to do. It has been a wonderful place. We will be back as soon as we can. I have to say that this was one of my favorite vacations of all times, partly because it was romantic without the kids, but also because everything was perfect, nothing could have been better. Worth the money, every last bit. I highly suggest this palce, withor without kids.
Owner response:Reviews like this make me want to go back to the Marriott and Aruba myself. I have never done the horseback riding and that sounds so awesome!! And with all the many restaurants within walking distance somehow I missed those two so I will have to add them to my list. I learn so much from my customers - guess I just need to plan another trip!!

Myself, husband and three year old daughter, along with another couple (with a baby) rented a two bedroom villa in the begining of February for one week. We had an amazing time! There was activities for the kids every night of the week, great restaurants on and within walking distance of the property. I am a bit of worry wart on vacation but felt completely safe the entire time - even walking down a sketchy street after dark with two strollers in tow! Finding and booking the place was a breeze with Robin Gran and she was a pleasure to work with. Aruba is the best and we plan on going back next year for sure!
Owner response:Yes, that is another fabulous thing about Aruba - the amazing feeling of knowing how safe you are. There is no violence there and the people are so warm and friendly which is how it got the nickname of the friendly island. And to be able to walk to all those restaurants and just choose a different one each night is truly amazing! I also love the free entertainment like the dancing waters to music or the Arubian dancing in full costum right there in the middle of Palm Beach. Fun, fun, fun! I can't wait to go again myself hearing you talk about it.. Thanks for sharing.. Robin

My family had an amazing time in Aruba!! The condo was even better than we imagined!!! The resort is great and perfect for all ages (adults, 22, 8, and 5). We felt very safe and had no concerns walking to the nearby restaurants in the evenings. We are looking forward to returning. Thanks for a wonderful time!!!
Owner response:I just love to hear when the Marriott can exceed expectations that are already so high. It is truly a place for all ages where everyone can have fun. Thank you for letting me know I had a small part in your wonderful family memory. My best to you.. Robin

We rented a two bedroom suite at the Marriott Surf CLub from Robin Gran. Robin was a pleasure to work with and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We traveled down to Aruba with two couples and two babies and the two bedroom suite was perfect for the six of us. The hotel is beautiful and perfect for both couples and kids. Lots to do and within walking distance to lots of restaurants and activities. We would recommend this resort to anyone.

We have stayed at the Marriott Surf Club and Ocean Club for two weeks for the last two years with our children and grandchildren for one week and one week alone, and of all the Marriott's this one has got to be the best. There is so much to offer in addition to the sun and surf. There are many restaurants both on the grounds and attached to the villas and they are reasonable too. there are planned children's activities and water slides, kiddie pools and adult pools. There is fantastic shopping and movie theaters just a block away, along with a great selection of restaurants including my favorite, sushi. The casino is great, the spa is gorgeous, and of course the villas are luxury all the way. Call me for specifics and whether you book or not I will be happy to direct you to some of my favorite things to do and places to eat. You will want to come back again and again - most people do. That's how we bought the time share last year - love at first sight!
