Seems most of the negative issues from 2012 listed below have been rectified. Like any property, peak season means you need to compete for resources like chairs (and restaurant seating, and drink service &#8211; you&#8217;re here in peak season, come on!). That&#8217;s the whole island in January. We are here now, winding up our 7 night stay and would definitely return to the Surf Club. A wonderful value for the stay here. 2 bedrooms separated by a common space means the 20-somethings can do their thing while we turn in earlier than they do. Lively spots can easily be found within walking distance. Main tip to new travelers here &#8211; &#8211; buy your liquor at the duty-free shop at the airport on your way here. MUCH less expensive. I will admit however, that if you don&#8217;t want to buy bottles of liquor, the Surf Club happy hour was a good deal, especially when you consider the very generous pours. Overall, loved it. Considering purchasing our own time here, as this travel was on our brother&#8217;s ownership here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redweek.com\/resort\/P4872-marriotts-aruba-surf-club\/reviews\">By anne1118<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/lnIlOGoaA6jMOWAS-pNxJAqPE4G5v5BUYCHmOZLWOA75FtsZMe8_vm7e2MvzGK6lX5ZtWmvU8VlGTQHKjijfqJNWChoP-i5Wsd89ugqYrNU91vttCDSoRZlYWOWYXP0CPEFw00dL\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><\/strong> Feb 25, 2019<br><br> We are huge fans of this beautiful island and the Marriott surf club!
