Divi Dutch Village Beach Resort

We own a timeshare and used our saved weeks to book our vacation for us and friends. We have stayed here in 2021and it was a nice place. Upon our return this year (2023) we experienced a very different atmosphere. Check in as very unprofessional a lot of joking from desk personnel. They didn’t explain the taxes that we were going to have to pay until check out time. Mold stains in ceiling in stairway and dirty noisy A/C’sin our room. Our friends unit had leaking A/C’s that got their clothes wet that were on the bureau. They found a puddle of water at the top of stairs. Concierge were no help. We asked them about a Jeep rentals and they just kept pressing us to take a tour even when we told them we took one on our last stay. Outside light at the bottom of stairway was out. It was fixed 2 days before we left. Pool closed at 8pm and the pool bar and restaurant closed at 3:30pm. The towel and cleaning service was great. Our housekeeper was there everyday with a smile.

First time to Aruba and we decided to stay at Divi Dutch. We are so happy we did. We stayed in a studio suite and the room was great. Having a kitchen was very nice and the balcony overlooking the pool was very useful. We loved that there are 3 pools and the beach is right at the resort. Plenty of chairs and palapa's each day and the beach was great. They do have a lot of sand bags up to help with erosion but that never bothered us. It is also nice that the shuttle will take you to the nearby sister resorts as well. Super close to the airport and also close to the hotel zone and tourist area. Everyone who worked there as super nice and very helpful. We would definitely stay here again and thanks Divi Dutch for helping make our first trip to Aruba great!

Aruba is such an amazing place… but… the cost for all inclusive at Divi Dutch was not worth it. Service was so slow or nonexistent at some points. Some restaurants were very fast and friendly. Some had the rudest workers ever and it was not only our family who experienced such an unpleasant experience. Avoid Ginger restaurant. We loved the food in their Ginger restaurant but we have been talked down to there, we had to ask multiple servers to help and take empty plates from our table since our server who is also the host of the place was no where to be seen. The Red Parrot was the best restaurant for the dinner there. The bars and grill locations there did not open at the hours indicated and were refusing to take orders 20-25 minutes before the closing time. The towels booth ran out of towels very well before the closing time but they would not restock towels. The registration hostess at check in failed to properly mark the places on the it map and it took us days to figure out which places are included in our all-inclusive. We ended having most of our dinners elsewhere in the city and that was the best decision. The beach was the best part of the resort. It was clean and perfect for kids to play in the sand. If we ever do the Aruba vacation again we surely will avoid using all-inclusive option. Just not worth it. Also, the shuttles at Divi are terrible. They are always driving around so you cannot walk around without watching your back but then when you need a shuttle it’s never available and time to get a shuttle is about 30 minutes. That is important since restaurants spread over 3 Divi resorts. On the last day of our stay cleaning lady trashed the bag with our souvenirs and photos from the submarine tour. There are some nice fishing spots within walking distance. Loved Aruba, was not happy about Divi Dutch.

STAY ANYWHERE ELSE. Poor service - slow and frankly surly. The room was just a bed and bath with a view of the rotary behind the hotel, think Motel 6 off the freeway when you're too tired to keep driving. The Divi Dutch is an isolated spot with very limited amenities and none after like 6PM. The staff honestly seem not to know their own layout, getting lost, or not finding us when using the shuttle. I'd be embarassed to tell anyone to stay there and then have them actually do it.

A very poor experience do to the fact the the Divi Corp. has allowed the Tam guests to use our pools. As an owner, we all paid an assessment to renovate the resort and now they let just about anyone use our pool. These new users of our pools leave all of the cups laying around and in addition, unsupervised kids are jumping off the wall at phase 1 and do not respect the owners. This is not what we paid for.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this resort. Everyone on the staff was amazing, the room was exactly like the picture and when I walked in it was more than I could imagine. Our room was 30 steps away from the pool. The pool was well maintained. The shuttle service was out of this world. The staff made us laugh with every interaction. I can't say enough good things about it. People's reviews made me question my choice but I am glad I took a chance. The price was great also for what you get.
