    We have a timeshare and I love to wake up to the ocean view from my kitchen. We love Aruba, have been owners since 2000. Have seen a lot of improvements to the hotel and love the beach. I have always felt safe go out at night alone and walk the up to the shops and waterfalls in eve. Security is very good and have never had any problems. So many activities for all ages and the night time live theater is very good. Can not say anything bad about this resort or Aruba.!! Janice

    Barcelo Palm Beach Aruba is an outstanding Resort. The staff are beyond helpful, Friendly and very accommodating. The variety of Restaurants are Superb with excellent Menus and service. The rooms are fantastic with Ocean Views. The pool is so conveniently located with an awesome swim up or walk up Bar. The Ocean Beach is excellent and I believe it is the Best Beach and location in Aruba. Our Family has gone to this Barcelo Aruba location for almost twenty years and we simply love it. It is simply the best Aruba Vacation Location.

    Location and staff are great for the timeshare. Only complaint is the parking system only worked half the time so if you have a rental not great. However the location is walkable to most great restaurants and shops. The beach chairs are in year 7 of a 5 year replacement plan, too low and worn.

    I purchased this timeshare in 2002. I like the resort, the location and the staff has always been friendly and helpful. The rooms are very clean, but some are starting to show their age and need upkeep. The quality of the food has gone down in recent years.

    Barceló Resort on Palm Beach, Aruba is nothing short of amazing! When you arrive you will be greeted by the staff with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. Every member of the team is kind, helpful, and eager to make your vacation perfect.

    The rooms are beautiful and spacious. The balconies offer views of the Caribbean Sea and the stunning pool area — the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee or a sunset cocktail.

    The beach is picture-perfect, — soft white sand, crystal-clear water, and plenty of lounge chairs to relax in paradise.

    And while the resort offers a wide range of delicious dishes and local flavors — the location couldn’t be better. Just steps away, across the street, there’s shopping, great restaurants, and lively bars. Offering you the flexibility to relax at the resort or enjoy Aruba's vibrant nightlife.

    The resort offers daily poolside activities designed to keep guest entertained, along with a kid-friendly setting that makes it a great choice for families traveling with children.

    The rooms are large and both have balconies overlooking the ocean. The resort is very clean and there are lots of activities. The beach is one of the best amongst the high rises. You are within walking distance to many restaurants and stores. You will thoroughly enjoy this resort.

    We loved staying at this hotel. The best part is its location, as it is located in the middle of the strip and very close to everything. It is also right on the beach and has a beautiful pool with a pool-bar and 2 hot tubs.
