Our stay at Aruba Sands was truly memorable! The location was fantastic, close to the beach and shopping centers. The kids had a blast at the pool, which was almost private every time we went down. The room was mostly equipped for what we needed, although a few more dishes would have helped. The shower could have been better with consistent water temperature, but overall, it was a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly and helpful, making our stay enjoyable.

While the property has some redeeming qualities like cleanliness and a decent pool area, my overall experience was marred by significant issues. The room I stayed in had multiple problems, including an uncomfortable mattress and outdated amenities. The location was satisfactory, offering easy access to nearby attractions, but the service left much to be desired due to lack of attention and responsiveness from the staff.

I had a rough experience at this hotel. On the positive side, the location was nice and close to attractions. However, the room was in disrepair and not at all like the pictures advertised. I won’t return or recommend it due to cleanliness issues and overall lack of maintenance.

My stay at Aruba Sands was absolutely delightful! The hotel is perfectly situated just a short walk from the beach and all the vibrant spots in Broadbeach. The rooms were clean and comfy, and I really appreciated the convenient amenities like a washing machine and dryer. Although the hotel has a bit of a dated charm, the overall value for money is outstanding. Just a heads up, there was a little construction noise in the area, but it didn’t distract too much from our enjoyment.

We had an amazing stay at Aruba Sands! The location was perfect for us, just a short walk to the beach and nearby shops. The pool was fantastic, and the vibe was incredibly relaxing. Our room was clean and had what we needed, but a few more kitchen items would have been helpful. Overall, it was great value for the price, although the shower temperature did fluctuate a bit. We'll definitely be returning!
