Nestled within the vibrant Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino in Eagle Beach, The Casino Aruba offers a refreshing escape from the Caribbean heat and a welcoming spot for both casual players and dedicated gamblers. With a consistently positive reception from visitors, it stands out for its comfortable environment, friendly staff, and convenient location.
Many visitors appreciate that the casino is often not too crowded, providing a relaxed gaming experience. One of its most distinctive features is its unique interior design, described as resembling a "planetarium, with a domed roof and lighted stars up on top" – adding a touch of whimsical elegance to your gaming session. Crucially, the casino is well-known for being very cool and air-conditioned, offering a much-needed respite from Aruba's tropical humidity outside. While some note it's a "small casino" compared to its more opulent counterparts like the Marriott or Ritz-Carlton casinos, this intimate scale contributes to its comfortable and less overwhelming feel.
The Casino Aruba provides a good range of gaming options to suit different preferences. Guests can enjoy a variety of slot machines, engaging in some casual spins. For those who prefer card games, there are table games available, alongside a large area dedicated to poker and other tournaments, catering to more serious players. It's worth noting that the casino operates with different hours for slots, table games, and the poker room, so it's advisable to check the specific timings for your preferred game before visiting.
A recurring theme in visitor feedback is the exceptional quality of the staff. Reviewers consistently describe the team as nice, helpful, very friendly, and welcoming. This attentive and pleasant service significantly enhances the overall experience, making guests feel valued and comfortable during their visit. The general cleanliness of the venue is also frequently highlighted, adding to the positive impression.
The casino boasts an excellent location, being very easy to find on the Hilton property itself. Its strategic position in the "center of the high-rise hotels area" makes it incredibly convenient, especially for those staying in nearby resorts. Furthermore, its proximity to the island's bustling "night life" and numerous "restaurants and food huts nearby" means guests have plenty of dining and entertainment options within easy reach, making it a great starting or ending point for an evening out.
While perhaps not the go-to for those seeking the most luxurious or grand casino experience on the island, The Casino Aruba at Hilton holds a special appeal. It's particularly well-suited for:
It serves as a solid choice for an enjoyable evening, whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to try your luck in a friendly setting.
Not too crowded when we stopped which was nice. Very cool and A/C inside which is a good break from the heat/humidity outside. Very easy to find on property.Staff was nice and helpful. They have different hours for slots, table games, and poker room so be aware of that depending on what you want to play.
We had the best time at the Hilton in Aruba. Everything was very clean and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. We will be back soon! There is many restaurants and food huts nearby.
Small casino but the resort is very nice right in the center of the high-rise hotels area where all the clubs in action is at night. It’s a nice place to check out just because of the close proximity to the night life.
I visit Aruba every year for a few weeks in the Fall, and this year I visited The Casino Aruba at Hilton.The room looks like a planetarium, with a domed roof and lighted stars up on top.There are both table games and slot machines, with a large area for poker and other tournaments.This is definitely not the fanciest casino - that is the Marriott or the Ritz-Carlton, but this casino has its fans amongst the die hard gamblers on the island.
My boyfriend and I went to celebrate his birthday. He is a native of Aruba and I'm an American from Boston. Everything and everyone was perfect. We can't wait to go back and make more memories!
