Overall, we had a pleasant stay at Eagle Aruba Resort. It was a great fit for what we were looking for and offered good value in a convenient location.
The resort has a fun atmosphere with daily activities for guests, and we appreciated the live entertainment offered throughout the week. We stayed on the ground floor near the pool, so the evening music was a bit loud at times. If you're looking for a quieter stay, requesting a room on one of the upper floors may be a better option.
Having a Hertz rental car location right outside the lobby was incredibly convenient, and the resort is within walking distance of Eagle Beach. We walked to Palm Beach one day and enjoyed the scenery - took ~40min. The property is also a short drive to Palm Beach, Oranjestad, and other popular attractions.
The room's full kitchen was one of our favorite features. The food on-site was just okay, but it was convenient before heading out for the day. We also enjoyed seeing the iguanas that roam around the property.
One tip: if you plan to spend the day at Eagle Beach, arrive early if you want shaded seating. Many guests reserve chairs by 9:00 a.m. and leave belongings there for much of the day, making it difficult to find an open spot later.
The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Housekeeping could have been a bit more consistent, but it didn't significantly impact our experience.
