Barceló Aruba - All Inclusive
Was a bit sad to hear, that they removed the larger iguanas. I enjoyed hand feeding them. Didn’t like that they played rap music where the artist cursed. It’s a family oriented shouldn’t be playing that kind of music. Room clean, had a beach view, was disappointed that we couldn’t control the room ...
