It's completely open on one end and you have to walk into the shower to turn it on meaning you're immediately getting hit with water that is cold and cold air from the openness. I don't love showers and this one didn't earn any love from me. The only thing I didn't like about the room was the shower. The grocery store is right across the street from the resort. Our room was comfortable and clean and since we had a kitchen, we saved money and had some meals in the room. His booming laugh was contagious and you could hear it all over the resort. And, I can't forget Tony at the outside bar. Pablo Hoyos, the Bell Captain, was extremely helpful and accommodating on check out day. (Sorry, that's the best I can do.) I sought him out whenever I needed help, because he made everything so easy. I can't remember his name but really want to! He was a young white fellow. The front desk staff was very helpful, but there was one who really stood out. My aunt and I travelled to Aruba the first week of September and stayed at this resort. You either like'm or hate'm but plan on them making noise. My wife thought the fire alarm was going off they were so loud - kinda like the roosters in Key West Fla. If there was anything that was unexpected, it was the chirping of the lizards at 4:00 am. His recommendations for DePalm island and directions for the the Natural Bridge and Natural Pool were very helpful as well as other local restaurants (didn't miss once). Milton was especially helpful in recommending island site to go see. The key however is the staff - Enrique (Papi!), Milton, Lena, and Kimberly were very friendly and did an excellent job with service and being helpful. The best part is Uncle Tony's Pizza in the middle of the pools which has excellent pizza and other foods. With 3 pools that target the kids, adults, and sunbathers, they each offer their own sense of relaxation.

Although not directly on the beach, the Eagle Aruba resort is close enough (just behind La Cabana) and well worth the timed money.
