Divi Village Golf & Beach Resort
Divi Village Golf and Beach Resort is an unusual animal in Aruba: a timeshare-style villa resort that sells both room-only stays and all-inclusive packages, and that DNA shows in both its strengths and its quirks. The suites and villas, with full kitchens and private balconies or patios looking over The Links and its lagoons, are genuinely spacious and home-like, which appeals strongly to travelers who find standard hotel rooms claustrophobic after a few days. The Signature All-Inclusive covers the Village plus Divi Dutch Village across the street, and MEGA, which you can add at any point during a stay, extends access to beachfront Divi Aruba All-Inclusive and Tamarijn Aruba All-Inclusive on the same stretch of Druif Beach.
Traveler Insights
Pros
- +Flexible booking: you can take a room only, the Signature All-Inclusive (which also covers neighboring Divi Dutch Village Beach Resort), or upgrade to MEGA at any point during your stay to add Divi Aruba All-Inclusive and Tamarijn Aruba All-Inclusive
- +Suites and villas with fully equipped kitchens, modern bathrooms, and private balconies or patios over the golf course and lagoons give the property a villa feel that pure hotel-room resorts can't match
- +A daily 9-hole round at The Links at Divi Aruba is included in the Signature package, on a course right on the resort with a golf learning center, pro shop, club, ball and shoe rental, and preferred tee times for Divi guests
- +Four pools on-site, including a children's pool with a water slide and a swim-up bar, plus a beachside rock climbing wall, tennis, pickleball, a beachfront gym and an activities center
- +Complimentary shuttle stops at Divi Dutch Village, Tamarijn Aruba, Divi Aruba All-Inclusive and the Alhambra Casino and Shops, giving guests flexibility and variety along the beach
- +Budget-friendly family pricing: special kids all-inclusive rates on double occupancy with a three-night minimum, one child per paying adult and up to two children per room
- +Sunsets from Druif Beach are described by travelers as among the best in the Caribbean, with a west-facing, unobstructed horizon
Cons
- −Room condition varies by building: guests report some buildings have been renovated while others still show their age with worn furnishings, so ask for a renovated unit when booking
- −Beach access requires crossing a small street to Druif Beach - technically easy, but it adds a logistical step that feels jarring when you've paid for a beach resort
- −The on-site 9-hole golf course still gets poor reviews for conditions in 2026: fairways and greens described as in really rough shape, nearly unplayable bunkers, and slow pace of play with no course marshals
- −The all-inclusive is described as expensive relative to what you get at the Village itself - the value calculation works best if you actively use the other resorts your plan covers
- −Shuttle service to the other Divi resorts can have 20+ minute waits, and some guests report shuttles passing by without stopping - limiting the practical appeal of the multi-resort access
- −No spa on property: treatments are at Indulgence by the Sea at Divi Aruba All-Inclusive, a shuttle ride away, and cost extra; water sports like snorkeling and kayaking are not on the resort's own amenity list, so budget for off-site tours
- −Chair-claiming at the pool and beach, Wi-Fi that travelers call unreliable in rooms further from the main building, and some buildings a long walk from the pools and shuttle stop round out the everyday friction
On site you get four pools, including a children's pool with a water slide and a swim-up bar, a beachside rock climbing wall, tennis, pickleball, a beachfront gym and an activities center, and the beach is across a small street. The golf course remains the most prominent disappointment: a daily 9-hole round is included with Signature, but 2026 reviews still call the fairways and greens rough, so enthusiastic golfers should temper expectations or book one of Aruba's 18-hole courses off-property. Room condition depends on your building, so ask for a renovated unit. The multi-resort access depends on the free shuttle, and the spa, Indulgence by the Sea, is at Divi Aruba All-Inclusive rather than on this property and costs extra.
This resort makes the most sense for families and travelers who want suite-style space, don't mind walking or shuttling between properties for dining variety, and plan to use the pools and beach heavily. Kids pricing on all-inclusive stays helps families, and it's popular with repeat Aruba visitors who've done the big-name properties and want something more residential in feel. For a first Aruba trip focused on pure beach relaxation, the Bucuti & Tara or Amsterdam Manor on Eagle Beach are quieter choices. Snorkel trips to the island's shipwrecks, the natural pool and desert horseback rides are all bookable as island excursions.

“I booked an all inclusive vacation through Expedia at the Divi Golf & Beach Resort. Wow, was this resort beautiful. The room actually looked better in person! We stayed in room 2128 and the only negative was the room was riddled with black mold. I us...”
