I booked JOIA Iberostar because I just fell in love with the beautiful pictures online and the amazing reviews. We were immediately warmly greeted by the staff in the lobby and assisted to our rooms with a thorough tour and walk through. The room was beautiful and so was our private pool. My partner and I spent the first day on the resort and in our room. By the next day, we were ready to start our day. We were playing music from our handheld speaker at exactly 1pm when we met with some knocks on our door, followed by security telling us that there was a music complaint. We had to turn our music off at 1pm. We did so politely and continued on with our day. The very next day we were met with knocks on our door yet again. This time, it was a complaint for marijuana which we did not have or use. We let them search our room immediately and they found nothing. Being that we were one of the only black people on the resort, it was starting to feeling like discrimination and racism. We made a complaint to management and was told that we would be accommodated and would receive complimentary. We were not accommodated nor received anything for the harassment. We also paid cash on many occasions and they still charged it to my room. We ended up spending way more money than was needed and no one reported the cash transactions. The food was absolutely terrible. They were terribly understaffed. I waited 10 minutes for ketchup, and my burger was COLD. I would never come back to this resort.

Beautiful hotel, staff was amazing and the rooms were spacious and had everything you could think of. The only recommendation would be better coffee pods in the rooms. They had anawesome coffee cafe at the hotel so that helped.

Brand new resort still under construction, but the open areas were impeccable. Our room was beautiful with a great view of ocean over Eagle Beach. Staff was very friendly and always professional. The amenities were great and will only get better as they add 2 more restaurants, casino, and golf course.

This is a great property but still under construction and some service issues to work through. Friendly staff but seemed unsure of what they should be doing. Some construction noise in the middle of the night as well as random fire alarms in the middle of the night. Beautiful resort and great location. Hot tubs by the pools weren’t working and the hot water in the room would get really hot randomly…hot water issues.

Truly the best hotel I’ve stayed on any island! Aruba knows how to do it when it comes to this hotel. Although it is 4-5 months old it is extremely beautiful. The staff are ALL super friendly and catering to our needs. The walking distance to the beach with their services on the beach is exquisite. Cleanliness is 10/10. The hot tub on the balcony with the view of the ocean is 10/10 experience. Their spa is gorgeous! Their buffet is 10/10. Just wow. I will be staying here for my next visit!

We really enjoyed our stay at JOIA Aruba Iberostar. The resort is brand new and is still experiencing some construction. With this, there was some construction noise that was a bit annoying. The resort was only about 2/3 occupancy, so chairs and cabanas were in abundance. There were only two open restaurants and the service was OK. The location for us was the key. We had access to their beachfront on gorgeous Eagle Beach. The staff associated with providing chairs on the beach were amazing. There were a few restaurants within walking distance that were very good. We took cab rides into the high-rise hotel zone a couple of times and cab fair was only $10 per trip. Our room was very comfortable and completely updated, a bonus with staying in a brand new resort. Bed was very comfortable. I would definitely stay at this resort again.
