Located in the vibrant Palm Beach city of Aruba, La Cabana Beach Resort & Casino offers a tropical escape that consistently earns high praise from its guests. While officially designated as a casino resort, guest feedback primarily highlights its fantastic beach access, friendly service, and relaxing atmosphere, with no specific mentions of the casino experience itself.
The sentiment among recent visitors is overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing a strong desire to return. Guests describe their stays as "absolutely fantastic" and "one of the best trips we've had so far." The resort fosters a welcoming environment, contributing to a truly relaxing vacation experience.
A standout feature is the resort's proximity and access to the beach. Guests consistently laud the beach as "absolutely great," "clean," and "beautiful." It's conveniently located just "across the street," and the resort provides an "associate helping you pick a cabana covered table and chairs" on their owned section of the beach, enhancing comfort and convenience. Some even noted it was a "much better and cleaner beach than at the high rise resort."
The staff receives glowing commendations for being "very friendly and very helpful," as well as "kind." This dedication to guest satisfaction significantly contributes to the overall positive experience, making visitors feel "welcome" and well-cared for.
Rooms are described as "spacious" with "amazing views," and the beds are remarkably "comfortable" – so much so that one guest wished they could buy the exact bedding for their home. The ability to relax on the patio, "listening to the birds and nature," adds to the tranquil and romantic ambiance.
La Cabana boasts an "amazing" location. It's only "a few blocks from the grocery store," making it easy to walk for necessities. The abundance of taxis ensures that "getting around was never an issue."
While reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few minor points were raised:
Guests noted that the "main pool is under reconstruction" and that rooms are "a little dated," with some needing "minor repairs." However, the impact of construction was surprisingly minimal for many. One guest mentioned the "construction is substantial but felt like nothing," "hardly noticed," and "wasn't really noisy" or "filthy." It's also mentioned that rooms might be undergoing renovation this year.
A common sentiment is the desire for "a little updating" to the rooms, although their current state is "perfectly functional."
It's important to note that despite the resort's designation as a "Casino" resort, none of the provided guest reviews offer specific feedback or mention of the casino facilities or gaming experience. This suggests that guests may primarily visit La Cabana for its beach and resort amenities rather than its gambling offerings, or simply that the casino experience did not stand out enough to be mentioned in these particular reviews.
La Cabana Beach Resort & Casino stands out as a highly recommended destination for those seeking a relaxing and enjoyable beach vacation in Aruba. Its prime location, exceptional staff, and beautiful beach access make it a repeat choice for many travelers. While there are ongoing updates to facilities, these seem to have a minimal impact on guest satisfaction. Prospective visitors should be aware that the resort's primary draw, based on current reviews, appears to be its superb beach and hospitality rather than its casino.
The main pool is under reconstruction so things were not as smooth as they have been last time we were there. Rooms are a little dated, but everything is perfectly functional. The beach is absolutely great. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. Wouldn’t mind a little updating, but will certainly plan on going back.
I wish I could buy the exact bed and bedding materials for my home. It was so comfortable. Sitting in the patio listening to the birds and nature was also so relaxing and romantic. Overall everything was so incredible and perfect. Although the beach is across the street, it was a much better and cleaner beach than at the high rise resort. My next visit I will definitely stay here again and highly recommend La Cabana and their spa to everyone looking to get away and really relax and rejuvenate.
By far one of the best trips we've had so far. The location was amazing. We were only a few blocks from the grocery store, so we were able to walk there when needed. There was an abundance of taxis, so getting around was never an issue. Staff was very helpful, and I loved being able to go to the beach right across the street late in the night. Very relaxing! We'll definitely be back.
Absolutely fantastic. It’s so close to the beach that they own and have an associate helping you pick a cabana covered table and chairs.Everyone on the island are extremely friendly and make you welcome.My third time with them will be this September.
I just got back from a week stay at la cabana. I cannot say enough good things. The other vacationers we met were awesome. My 5 year old had the best time in the pool. The beach was clean and beautiful. The happy hour(s) are bomb. The staff were kind and friendly. Our room was spacious and the view was amazing. The construction is substantial but felt like nothing. I honestly hardly noticed. It wasn't all filthy. It wasn't really noisy. At least from our room. Everywhere we went was a delight. I wish I could spend all winter there.The only thing that wasn't perfect was construction and our room needed some minor repairs. I think theyre redoing them this year as well.
