Hotel was very clean and with maid service daily your
room was also kept spotless. The food on offer at both the Tamarijn and the divi all inclusive was very good with lots of choice.
The Tamarijn has a buffet restaurant and two a la cart restaurants, ginger ( oriental) and paparazzi (Italian). The divi also having a buffet and one a la carte restaurant called the red parrot serving continental dishes.
Both hotels have snack bars serving pizza, fries, sandwiches ect. There are hot drinks available 24 hours a day from a vending machine and a self serve cold drinks dispenser located at the poolside bar.
The location of the hotel is right on the beach so the views from your room are great to wake up to, if however you are a light sleeper i would advise you to take ear plugs as if the breeze picks up (not to mention the air con unit)the sea can become quite loud. Just a five minute walk will take you to a couple of super markets and few other shops just across the road.
If you want more shops Orangestad (the main town on the island)is about 25 minute walk, just turn right out of the hotel and keep walking or catch the bus, $1 and 5 minute ride. The staff all seem friendly and willing to to take time talk to you.
The entertainment was usually some live music between 7pm-9pm and then the dancers would take over for about an hour or so. There seemed to be activities carried out every day around the pool area or you can entertain yourself with the push bikes, snorkelling or the gym if you like.
All in all we had a great holiday and a very relaxing time.

This hotel was the best, just what we had hoped for. It was in the most beautiful location right on the beach and the first morning we got up, a cruise ship sailed by and you could see the passengers it was so close.
The hotel was clean, the rooms were adequate, the bathroom needed a bit of an upgrade. The food was fantastic, such a variety of choices and always plentiful. Plenty choice at the bar from cocktails to branded names.
It was definitely like being in paradise so quiet and peaceful. Watching the pelicans diving into the water catching fish and watching the sunset was amazing.
The kids loved it as well as so much for them to do, definitely do the bike ride to the top of the island and also a visit to palm island to do snuba is also a must.
I could go on and on but we'll be back soon in fact we raved so much about it my friends are going in July!!

Hotel was always clean and tidy room service very good. Rooms not very large but we only use it to sleep in and get changed in the location more than makes up for this.
Sitting outside on the balcony with a glass of wine on a hot summers eve watching the waves roll onto the beach is magic.
Staff always friendly there are lots of things for the children to do and as our kids were always either at the clubs or with their friends many people thought my wife and I were on our own!!!

The Tamarijn was nice and clean with little walkways and a small boardwalk along the beach. There was a bunker bar near us that was open until 7pm and the drinks they mixed were great!! The only gripe was that sometimes they seemed a little understaffed in the main restaurant and instead of some staff getting drinks and the other clearing tables they did what they wanted to do.
The main bar is attached to the restaurant and that is where the entertainment is, so some nights it was hard to find a table because some people had already eaten but were sitting waiting for the "show" to start, I think that perhaps that was a little badly planned but hey, we never starved!!
