  • Sargassum is rare here

Counts come from the resort's own published information; the scores are ours, from the Palmprint file below.

Rooms & suites

Who fits where at Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive Resort

All 3 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.

The research file · Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive Resort

Before you book

Eight things the research turned up about Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive Resort that the brochure does not say.

  1. Tamarijn Aruba is a true all-inclusive resort with shared access to adjacent Divi Aruba All Inclusive.

  2. It is better for casual beachfront value than for polished luxury.

  3. All rooms being oceanfront is the key differentiator.

  4. Hidden tips

    Request a ground-floor room if stepping directly toward the beach matters.

  5. Use Divi Aruba dining and pool access to widen the experience.

  6. Things guests wish they had known

    Tamarijn's biggest advantage is that all rooms are oceanfront.

  7. Guests use many shared restaurants, bars and pools at adjacent Divi Aruba.

  8. Aruba has excellent off-property restaurants, so all-inclusive value depends on how much you want to stay onsite.

From Reddit
Sentiment: Split

Aruba Reddit discussions repeatedly describe Tamarijn as a practical beachfront all-inclusive with direct beach rooms and strong Divi/Tamarijn shared access, while food and room luxury are more mixed.

What it costs

The rate, and where to check it

Our tracker samples real rates for a two-adult, 7-night stay on a rotating schedule, so the number below is a checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. The channels underneath price the same stay; a few minutes across them is routinely worth a night's rate.

Per-person figures assume two sharing. Taxes and fees vary by channel, so compare the final screen, not the first one.

Year-round

Temperature barely moves here across the year, so rain is the whole decision: the wet months run Oct to Jan. Hurricane season is real here: about 1 in 8 Septembers sees one pass within 100 miles, most recently Melissa in 2025.

What it does best

Where it costs you

  • Food and rooms are not as refined as higher-end Aruba resorts.
  • Beach sections can shift with weather and wave conditions.
  • All-inclusive may not be ideal for travelers planning to explore Aruba restaurants nightly.
