I chose Secrets Baby Beach to celebrate my partner’s birthday, and overall, it was an incredible experience that delivered luxury, warmth, and unforgettable memories. From the moment we arrived, we felt celebrated and truly cared for. Our butler, Jack, was nothing short of phenomenal, an absolute m...

This resort is stunning as all Secrets resorts are. Food is fantastic and staff is amazing. The breakfast omlete makers are fabulous. Room service and house keeping so wonderful. The resort is out of city but the drive to town is just fine with a rental and they offer bus rides twice per week. Baby ...

Absolutely amazing experience. Beautiful location. Great staff. Lots of experiences and expeditions. The bay is clear as day. Awesome snorkeling and scuba diving areas. Watch out for the Atlantic trade winds and the strong currents. The rooms were clean, modern, and the balcony bath was a nice touc...

I stayed at the resort over Valentine’s weekend. The property itself is new, clean, and modern. However, compared to my experiences at other Secrets and Breathless resorts — including Breathless Jamaica, Breathless Mexico, and Wild Orchid Jamaica — this location falls short. Our room overlooked a c...

Pros

  • Adults-only Secrets all-inclusive experience in Aruba.
  • Excellent nearby Baby Beach swimming and snorkeling conditions.
  • Modern suite inventory and spa facilities.
  • Quiet south-island setting away from the high-rise hotel zone.
  • Strong pool and relaxation appeal.

Cons

  • Not directly beachfront despite the Baby Beach positioning.
  • Service and operations may still feel new or inconsistent.
  • Far from Palm Beach nightlife and most resort-district restaurants.
  • Review depth is thinner than more established Aruba resorts.

Things to know

  • Secrets Baby Beach Aruba is an adults-only all-inclusive resort near Baby Beach in San Nicolas.
  • The resort is not directly on the sand; official and guest sources describe Baby Beach as a short walk away.
  • The calm water at Baby Beach is a major strength for swimming and easy snorkeling.
  • Because the resort is relatively new, guest feedback still shows some growing-pain comments around service pace and operations.
  • This is a better fit for travelers who want a quieter south-Aruba escape than for guests who want Palm Beach nightlife and walkability.

Hidden tips

  • Book this resort for Baby Beach access, calm water, and relaxation rather than for direct beachfront room-to-sand convenience.
  • Consider Preferred Club if pool-chair access, quieter spaces, and upgraded service matter.
  • Plan transportation if you want to explore Palm Beach, Eagle Beach, or Oranjestad frequently.
