Guests adore Marriott's Aruba Ocean Club in Noord’s Palm Beach neighborhood for its composed, unhurried rhythm that offers a sophisticated drop in tempo from the high-energy resorts nearby. The atmosphere is distinctly tranquil and family-centric, anchored by staff who consistently deliver warm, responsive service that feels personal rather than processed. While the morning rush for beach shade is a known ritual, the true standout detail is the large, secluded hot tub hidden entirely behind the pool’s rock waterfall, serving as a private sanctuary that many travelers overlook.
The ocean club is like our second home after going there for many years. The rooms are extremely clean and comfortable as the photos will show. There is a very functional kitchen that allows eating in rather than going out every night. The bed was a king and very comfortable, and any issues with being provided towels or linens and some time ago. This was a pandemic issue. Housekeeping comes twice per week and you have the option to pay for it if you want more. There is a laundry room on each floor with no charge. There are Keurig coffee makers in the suites. The grounds are beautiful with many species of plants and the other present iguanas that just wanna be left alone and show off for you. The birds are spectacular as well, look for the Aruin ring eyed pigeons. That is the name of the species and you should be able to find one. There is a selection of restaurants on premises, the main one being Malmok which has outdoor dining as well as bar seating and pool bar seating, which is our favorite. The menu is extensive for non-vegetarians, vegetarians and vegans. The bartenders and wait staff have been there for years and greet us warmly. Our favorite are the fish tacos, but please ask for some papaya hot sauce on the side. The other restaurant on site is Campeones (cleverly renamed from champions when it was a sports bar). All you can eat chips and salsa and margaritas that are not all you can drink! The lobby and public areas are also extremely clean and well kept. There are a number of stores with some grocery items, alcohol, souvenirs, and the ocean Café gelato in particular is not to be missed. The pool is lovely, but will be closing for renovations this fall so please check. There are fitness classes and pool classes. Getting chairs at the pool can be difficult depending on the time of year. In April, it was much easier than it had been earlier in the winter on prior years. In general and the busier times you do need to get up early and claim your chairs. The Palapas on the beach are reserved via a webpage and that is fairly easy. There is a charge for the Palapas. What else can I tell you except to go and enjoy.
