Divi Aruba All Inclusive Resort
Divi Aruba sits on Druif Beach, a calm mile and a half of white sand shared only with sister resort Tamarijn, and that beach does a lot of the work. The resort now pitches itself as the quieter, couples-leaning half of the pair, while Tamarijn takes the families and groups, but the wristband covers both: 12 restaurants and grills, 8 bars, all the pools, the beach and the activity program, with a shuttle between the two. It is still very family-capable, with the Sea Turtles Club for ages 4 to 12 and two-bedroom oceanfront suites of 1,173 sq ft. Repeat guests make up a large share of the crowd, and the vibe is sun, sand and no surprises.
Traveler Insights
Pros
- +A mile and a half of white sand on Druif Beach, shared only with sister resort Tamarijn, with calm, swimmable water, shaded palapas and some of the best sunset views on the island
- +One wristband covers both Divi and Tamarijn: 12 restaurants and grills and 8 bars, with taxes and service charges included and a shuttle running between the properties
- +The dining lineup has real range: Red Parrot (Divi's signature, with Argentinian beef tenderloin and grouper Provencale), Pure Lime for Mexican from an open kitchen, plus Ginger's sushi, Club Margot's Mediterranean-Caribbean set menu and Paparazzi's Italian over at Tamarijn
- +New oceanfront lanai rooms arrive on 1 December 2026, including swim-up kings with a private pool and cabana from 431 sq ft, alongside two-bedroom oceanfront suites of 1,173 sq ft for families
- +Existing rooms have been remodeled with walk-in showers, Nespresso machines, 55-inch smart TVs with Netflix, Bluetooth bathroom mirrors, clothes steamers and dehumidifiers
- +The Sea Turtles Club takes kids aged 4 to 12, so parents get real beach time while the kids are supervised
- +A long list of included activities: e-mountain bike tours, a 30-foot rock climbing wall on the beach, weekly yoga, Zumba and water aerobics, salsa classes, pool volleyball, a tennis court with a free twice-weekly clinic, and snorkel gear on loan
Cons
- −There is no swim-up bar. Drinks come to your lounger at the two main pools instead, and the new swim-up lanais are private room pools, not a bar
- −Front desk and concierge service gets mixed reviews, with a meaningful number of guests describing indifferent interactions at check-in
- −Room quality varies by category: Beachside rooms sit in one-story buildings with partial ocean views, and some Oceanview and Pool View rooms are in two-story buildings with stairs and no elevator, so check before booking if mobility matters
- −Every a la carte restaurant requires a reservation, bookable only two days ahead on property or in the app, and some close one night a week (Pure Lime on Wednesdays, Ginger on Thursdays)
- −Expect construction around the new lanai rooms ahead of their 1 December 2026 opening, so ask where your room sits relative to the work
- −The spa (Indulgence by the Sea), the Alhambra Casino, The Links golf course and resort-booked excursions all cost extra, and travelers find tours cheaper booked independently
- −Food is described on traveler forums as reliably good rather than memorable, with the a la carte rooms clearly ahead of the live-cooking restaurant
Rooms have been remodeled across the board with walk-in showers, Nespresso machines, 55-inch smart TVs and Bluetooth bathroom mirrors, though categories differ a lot: Beachside rooms are in one-story buildings with partial ocean views, while some Oceanview and Pool View rooms sit in two-story buildings with stairs only. New Oceanfront Lanai rooms open on 1 December 2026, including swim-up kings with a private pool and cabana and second-floor balcony kings, plus junior suites for two adults. For food, Red Parrot is the strongest recommendation, Pure Lime does Mexican from an open kitchen, and Tamarijn adds Ginger, Club Margot and Paparazzi. All require reservations, which open two days ahead, so booking direct (which confirms your first-night dinner) is worth it. Pelican Terrace, the live-cooking restaurant with carving stations, covers breakfast, lunch and dinner. The pools have ocean-edge positions, in-pool loungers at the Sunset Pool and cabanas, but no swim-up bar.
Divi Aruba suits couples and families who care more about a calm beach and a two-resort dining footprint than luxury finishes, and the incoming lanai rooms give couples a reason to upgrade. It sits below the Palm Beach high-rises and boutique Eagle Beach options like Bucuti & Tara on polish, but the shared Tamarijn access makes for strong value on an expensive island. Service at the front desk is the most common complaint, and the spa, Alhambra Casino and The Links golf course next door are paid extras. Oranjestad is a short ride away, and Eagle Beach and Arikok National Park make easy day trips.
