Re: Marriott Surf Club versus the Ocean Club

I own a two bedroom lock-off at the Surf Club. The Surf Club is awesome and a newer time share. Large building vs. low riser. Pool has Lazy L River which is spectacular fun in the sun. Make sure you get your lounges early. They go quickly. My opinion is Surf Club has great nautical decor in rooms which is upscale (Washer/Dryer & Jacuzzi in some) and is well maintained. Good friendly staff and service. Nice group of time share visitors. Family oriented. The Ocean Club. OK decor nothing special at Ocean Club - except more stores for shopping, eating and much quieter surroundings (there is definitely less people and a quieter beach front). Rooms are older and may need some refurbishing. Surf Club is further from the Marriott Hotel and is a small hike to Casino. A little more crowded but a total delightful vacation accomodation. LUXURY ALL THE WAY. Its your preference that counts. Either time share is a Marriott delight and a vacation spot to remember on the island of Aruba. We can's wait to go back every year! If you plan on visiting Aruba Go FIRST CLASS WITH A MARRIOTT TIME SHARE and the ammenities are grand.
