Tierra del Sol Resort & Golf

The most incredible experience from start to finish.. hospitality was sincerely outstanding from the time when checked in with the most genuine young lady at check in to the golf pro from Boston that was top shelf. Can’t say enough about the friendly and knowledge staff! Everything incredibly manicured , first class and welcoming! My 4 sons and I had a wonderful time and look forward to coming back, priceless memories!!! Many thanks to Tierra Del Sol in Aruba!!!

Beautiful beautiful beautiful! We absolutely loved our villa, we stayed in Anabui 5 (3-bedroom) and it was really spacious! The views from the balconies were gorgeous. The only thing is that it was 3 wasp nests outside of the first bedroom balcony, so we couldn’t stay outside for too long. Other than that, everything was up to par and the staff were attentive when we needed anything they would deliver! The villa was also really clean when we arrived. The location is less than 10 minutes from the popular strip of restaurants, entertainment, stores, etc. Would recommend for families!!

I would not go to Aruba in general again. Very disappointed of the people and the services aside from how expensive the island is. We left home and we had to show an ED card something about immigration, of course with the rush not to miss the plane we got scammed and end up paying $100 each, group of 3, when it was only $20 ea. As we arrived in Aruba we were told to get a taxi to the hotel tierra del sol. Another $50. It would have been better to rent a car. The distances are humongous. Once we arrived to tierra del sol, we went immediately to the reception area. It seems like noone wants to work in Aruba. It bothers them when you request help or services. We got one rude lady at the front desk which guide us to the rental. 3 bedroom apartment, old and falling apart. Just in case you stay in the hotel, only 1 restaurant from 10 am to 8pm. Super expensive. Food is so so, no flavor. That same day we return to the airport, rented a car and stopped at the many thousands of supermarkets in the island, avoid Asian ones. I think they put chlorine on their food to preserve them. There are a few places to go like the light house $6 per person, you go up and down. Nothing to see. You can't even hear the story on the way up. Places to go: Maybe oranjestad to walk around or paseo hacienda yet everything is super expensive and for souvenirs where the cruise lines are, there's a market. Please bargain when yo go. One more thing, tierra del sol advertise a gym, you have to pay is not free, room service, I did see a soul in 3 days that I was there, the restaurant has a leak in the ceiling so prepare for a weat meal. And the streets, oh lord, drive slow. I thought the money the collect was to repair the roads. Bahahaha... And they call it one happy island

We golfed, and luckily received a local rate rather than guest rate. The course was OK, nothing memorable. It was scenic and some of the holes were along the ocean. The course needs a lot of of work and for what they charge is not worth the money. Also, the wind played factor making it a difficult round

Visited January 23rd 2026 THE GOOD: Stunning pool and beautiful views. TE BAD: Pretty much everything else. Service, food and overall hospitality. I purchased a pool day pass and arrived at 2:30 PM only to be informed that the pool and restaurants would close at 3:30 PM due to a private event. This was never communicated in advance. Check in is done through the spa, where the receptionist was noticeably unfriendly. They refused to issue a refund, so I had to insist on some form of compensation. Eventually, they agreed to let me use the gym after the pool closed so I could at least enjoy the property a bit more. However, after being asked to leave the pool one hour later, the spa receptionist had already ended her shift and the spa was closed. I spoke to three different employees, all of whom dismissed me and refused to let me access the locker rooms. Not even to shower or change. At that point, I gave up and decided to leave. At the main hotel reception, I asked for help calling a taxi and was told that because I was a day pass guest and not staying at the hotel, they could not assist me. I ended up walking 45 minutes to another hotel just to get a taxi to my cruise ship. I genuinely do not understand why day passes are offered if day guests are clearly not welcome or treated properly. As for the food. Extremely disappointing. Clearly catered to American tastes, with not a single local or Caribbean dish available. Also worth noting. There are no towels for day visitors, even if you offer to pay for them. A gorgeous property, completely ruined by terrible service and a lack of basic hospitality.
