Find a Hotel in Papaya

"Nice staff, clean rooms, beautiful beach"

"We just returned from spending our spring break with 4 teens at the Tamaijn. Overall we enjoyed our time. The dinners were good but the buffet for breakfast and lunch was just ok. The main areas weren’t exceptionally clean, some staff were lovely while others were slow or just plain rude. The rooms were fine but pretty basic. Bathrooms are very narrow, not sure how larger people make it work but I know they do because there were plenty of people who meet that criteria. We had a good time with 2 other families that also joined us for spring break but we wouldn’t stay there again. "

"Overall it was a great hotel, very clean and friendly stuff. However, food was tasteless and they were charging extra for their sunbeds and their papalas in their own beach which was a turn off. "

"Breakfast was good, room service sucked!"

"Property is dated, not just visually, but condition. I.e. loose/falling tiles on staircases. Really spread out and not convenient to get around. THERE IS NO SHUTTLE TO THE BEACH! Shuttle is to the lobby, you then need to walk to the beach from there. Also, shuttles won’t take you to Tamarin and other Divi resorts. Each has their own shuttle so you’ll have to walk to the beach and restaurants. Most employees have terrible attitude and could not care less. MEGA is absolutely NOT worth it. There are amazing restaurants in Aruba for same price or lower. Food at the resort’s restaurants are average. Too much fried food. NO FRESH FRUIT OR JUICE! Our 5th island in the Caribbean and certainly a first. How do you not have fresh fruits?! Can’t even order. Menu states “chunks of fresh mango”, dish comes with mango syrup… go figure. NO ICE CREAM unless you go to a sit down restaurant at Mulligans. So if you want something refreshing by the pool, beach or walking aroun… forget about it. Coffee corner is open till about 1pm, for below average coffee and its by the front desk. So you gotta hike there to get coffee and if you want coffee in the afternoon… well, you’re out of luck. Worst resort we’ve stayed at in the entire Caribbean by a wide margin. Too much misrepresentation: shuttles, restaurants, service, amenities. Check out their rock climbing wall “on the beach” vs the real one I have attached. That sums up what you can expect across the board. "

"The room smelled of mold and mildew. I asked several times for a new room and was told they were at capacity. I was given vouchers for breakfast and asked for drinks I had charged to my room to be comped. 50 percent of it was. That was nice. I would be hesitant to coming back next year unless I was promised a room they I was satisfied with. The first time we came, 2 years ago, it was good. "
