The Aruba Grand was the second resort built on Aruba on one of the most desirable beachfront locations on Palm Beach with terrific oversize rooms, most with ocean views. It was renovated in 1998 and continues to improve each year. This year, a NEW state-of-the-art Fitness Center was added along with NEW Internet Kiosks in the Lobby. There is a warm and welcoming atmosphere at the Aruba Grand that is attributed to its size and in large part due to the personnel. Most of the 120 staff members have been with the resort from 10 to 34 years, some from the original opening in 1968, delivering gracious Aruban hospitality that the Island is so well known for. This longevity provides guests with a real family atmosphere when they are welcomed back year after year by the same smiling faces. The Aruba Grand caters to honeymooners, seasoned travelers, corporate executives and their families that want quality service and personal recognition from a romantic, full service resort with an exceptional staff.
