La Cabana Beach Resort Reviews & Ratings

My husband and I loved La Cabana! We have been to Aruba several times and high rises are nice, but low rises are more personable. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make your stay wonderful.

We just bought a unit there! That's how much we loved it. The pool is great you meet some great, friendly people while getting a super tan.

The first time we were there was week 39, kids break, what a circus- no parents. Now only LCB owners can use the pool, Villa's are separate! We enjoyed the food, great price for all inclusive, great buy if you enjoy your drinks.

Not a 5 Star but you will find Happy, Down to Earth people who like to have fun! That's what vacation is all about!

This resort is HUGE and lovely. Fabulous location on the beach and rooms are quiet yet face the ocean. Excellent "happy hour" deals for three hours in the afternoon making sunsets great...if you can leave their extremely oversized pool. Also great programs for the kids. The staff is superb in making your stay incredible. HIGHLY recommend this resort.

We staryed at LaCabana BRC (not the Villas) from June 18-25. We had a terrific stay! We rented 3 connecting units (AB&C) that faced the pool and ocean. We had no problems with the rooms. They were cleaned everyday and everything was in good working order. The staff at the resort were terrific - so nice and helpful. We highly recommend staying at the BRC (not to be confused with the Villas in the back).

We just returned from LaCabana Beach and Racquet Club, we rented a Band C unit over the Easter break. I was a bit concerned that this was their busiest week of the year and at full capacity, that the resort would be over- crowded. I found that the front section, closest to the beach, where we stayed, was much nicer than the Villas in the back. The rooms were cleaned daily and we had no issues with the units whatsoever. I did, however, hear constant complaints from other guests staying at the villas, issues ranging from pre-arranged connecting rooms not being honored at check-in, to smelling/musty rooms, to leaking ceilings.

We chose Lacabana because of the All-inc option, but once we arrived, decided not to take the all-inc, and were glad we didn't. There are TONS of fantastic restaurants in Aruba, and the restaurants at Lacabana are only so-so. The Islander Grille, serving burgers, salads, etc, was the best - Captain's Table was a huge disapointment

The location of this resort is also ideal, halfway between downtown, where the cruise ships come in, and the "high-rise" resort area, another good location for restaurants. This is not a 5-star resort by any means, and there is no nightlife whatsoever. However, it was a decent resort on one of the top-10 beaches in the world, Eagle Beach. Considering the full- capacity of the week we were there, I was pleased at the accessibility of lounge chairs and Palapas on the beach.

Just returned from lacabana. We had a good time and love Aruba and this was our 2nd trip to the Island. The resort was ok. The staff were friendly. Checking in was long and painful after hours of travel. The rooms were clean but showing their age. The TV worked intermittently depending on weather interfering with the satellite dish. You have to cross a highway to get to the beach. Finding chairs or loungers to sit on was a daily irritation unless you were on the beach by 6am. The loungers that you did find were in need of serious repair. The beach was clean and water lovely. It seemed easier to get a chair by the pool. There were a lot of seemingly unsupervised children in the pool and jacuzzi area. I think the parents thought there was a communal effort in effect to watch their children and there were so many people so how could their 4yr old possibly drown!!!This is an accident waiting to happen. The food was not great, avoid the burgers they tasted like meatloaf with a lot of filler. Salads were good. The lobby coffee shop did good coffee, sandwiches and desserts. The Captains Table Restaraunt was poor. Aruba is not a gourmet experience. We were on the ground floor and the hallway to our timeshare was very noisy. The entrance to the timeshare was directly into the bedroom.The rooms were cleaned every day which was a plus and plenty of clean towels were available. Appliances were in good shape and worked well. Plenty of entertainment was provided by the resort and we enjoyed the daily bands.

GREAT RESORT! THE NICEST IN ARUBA AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED AND I'VE STAYED AT A FEW IN THE PAST 10 YEARS. I ACTUALLY PREFER THE ODD NUMBERED ROOMS NOT FACING THE POOL SINCE THEY'RE MUCH QUIETER! VERY CLEAN, FUN FAMILY RESORT... THE LOCAL RESTAURANTS ARE GREAT SO I WOULD SKIP ANY MEAL PLAN.

stayed here june 19 to 26 2005 . Every thing was very good to excelent .Clean quite , would recommed and stay again jim and sharon of newburgh new york

Fantastic resort! Rooms tend to be small, but you really spend most of the time outside anyway. Proper room selection is critical - the villas and suites are situated in a horseshoe shaped 4 story building. All of the even number units look inward (toward the pool, activities, and beach). The odd numbered units look out onto the road and parking. The first floor units have a patio and can walk right out to the pool (that's what we had and we highly recommend it). What they don't have is a view of the ocean - if you want that, get a fourth floor even number unit.

Restaurants at the resort ranged from good to very good. We ate most lunches at the poolside grill - good sandwiches and salads. The tapas restaurant in the courtyard was our favorite. The Captain's Table inside is OK. There are a ton of really good restaurants in Aruba, so we didn't use the all-inclusive dining option.

The resort is a $17 cab ride from the airport and there is a bus that stops just outside the resort that will take you downtown for $1 each way. Cabs to other restaurants are $6 to $7, so you really don't need a $40 per day rental car unless you really want it.

We would definitely go again!

AWESOME RESORT!!!. GREAT LOCATION!!- AMENITIES AND ACTIVITIES GALORE!! NO RAIN THE ENTIRE WEEK WE WERE THERE IN APRIL! SOFTEST SAND, CLEAREST WATER, TERRIFIC SUNSETS! ONE HAPPY ISLAND!!

Largest resort in Aruba. Daily maid service, activities for adults and children. Spa, tennis courts, racquet ball courts, aerobics, full health club, several free form pools, jacuzzies. Kitchen in all units.

I absolutely love Aruba. It is my favorite island in the Caribbean. La Cabana is a very clean, convenient, resort. The rooms are big and there is a lot to do at the resort. The beach is the best on the island. Would highly recommend.

we own a time-share for 2 years now and it is really a wonderfull place to be. the resort is fantastic, lots to do, directly on the beach. The staff is very friendly and they remember you from the year before. They are always willing to please you and make your stay as pleasant as possible. We sure will visit again next year and the years to come, because it's the no. 1 place to be for your holidays.

This resort is just wonderful. My husband and I just returned from Aruba. We stayed at the La Cabana and did the all-inclusive package. There was a wide variety of restaurants and bars and was quiet at night. My only complaint was that when I was hungry at 3 am, there was nowhere to be found open.

We have stayed at La Cabaña several times over the last few years and it is always a great time. It has the best happy hours on the island with the greatest servers and staff. The beach is one of the best in the world and is always clean and private for La Cabana guests only.

This place may not be the RITZ or have the plushness of the MARRIOT and other HiRise hotels, but it is truly a gem and lives up to its long time loyal and repeat customers. It probably has one of the nicest beach and resort staff in Aruba. The ISLANDER GRILL has the BEST burger on the island and the outdoor/beachfront LAS RAMBLAS restaurant is a must, and that you will definitely return to during your stay . Bon Bini

Aruba is wonderful and La Cabana is a really great way to make your vacation outstanding. The resort is right by the most beautiful beach we have ever been on. There is everything you could want--entertainment daily, great restaurants and bars on and nearby the property, superior service-everybody is so nice, brand new spacious units with flat screen TVs and broadband wireless, neat pools with waterfalls and slide, excellent workout facilities, tennis and racquet ball courts--it's endless. You will love the shops and new casino. Once you go there, you will want to come back every year. We had a great time.

May be one of the worst places in Aruba! Damp, Moldy, smelled like bug spray! Would not recommend! JR

Just returned from Aruba. My family and I were supposed to stay at La Cabana for 5 nights. When we arrived, the room was filthy and smelled of mildew. Everything in this hotel is old and in deperate need of a makeover. Even the elevator looked pre-1950's. There was sand all over the cold tile floors. Pubic hair was left in the tub upon arrival, the toilet had permanent stains and the 13" TV's barely worked. Also, the casino was closed and will be closed for the next several months.

We stayed one night and after waking up with bug bites all over us, we had to leave. Luckily, our travel agent transfered us to the Hyatt which was wonderful.

I would not stay at this resort even if they paid my airfare and gave us a free room!!!
