Kids' club & childcare
Kids’ club listed. IHG lists Kids Club, and hotel policies state Kids Eat Free for children 11 and under when ordering from the kids menu with an adult. Confirm supervision and drop-off rules.
Room service
Costs extra. Official all-inclusive package states in-room dining is not included.
Dining reservations
Restaurant reservation rules are unverified; confirm before booking. Official and Aruba tourism pages describe multiple on-site restaurants and bars; recent Reddit advice says dinner reservations are useful for the all-inclusive package. The current official navigation names Corals, Oceanside, Sea Breeze, Agave, Da Vinci, Palm Lobby and Gelato da Passeggio. Exact outlet meal-plan coverage, current service hours and booking requirements remain unverified; no new inclusion or mandatory reservation claim is inferred. The linked guest directory supplies room-service contact instructions, not proof of included delivery.
