Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort and Casino
Our second visit. Perfect location. Beach, staff, clean, service all excellent. Special shout out to Sayschell at the lobby bar and Natasha at the beach towel hut. We did not eat much at the Hyatt as the food is generally overpriced compared to other options in the area. Highly recommend.
