8/10 Good
"The adults only pool and the multiple bars was excellent. It was a bit of a hassle at first but I didn’t realize how nice it was to have reserved spots at the pool and beachside. I wish they had a more expanded menu at the late night bar."

8/10 Good
"The rooms had full kitchens which made it convenient if you wanted to do some cooking to save on some meals out including a refrigerator for drinks & ice to take beverages to the beach. We also appreciated a washer & dryer so we could dry our towels & bathing suits when needed. The pools were fantastic & the convenience of the 2 restaurants on site when you didn't feel like leaving the property. The walk to the beach was only 4-5 minutes & you could easily get a umbrella & chairs on Eagle beach early in the morning. The lobby could be bigger with more staff at the front desk but other than that we would recommend Eagle Aruba Resort. It was also easy to catch a taxi if needed being most days one would be already readily waiting out front."
