Playa Linda Beach Resort

We have been coming to Playa Linda for years and have always loved it, which made this stay especially disappointing. We brought our extended family this time, and while things started off great, two children became sick during our stay. The hallways were noticeably musty, and 2 of our 4 rooms had visible mold and mildew. Both children required medical attention, and we ended up sleeping on the balcony the remaining nights just to avoid the air quality issues. We reported everything to staff. A dehumidifier was eventually provided, but it was too late to help. Management was dismissive and showed little urgency given the severity of the situation, especially with kids dealing with asthma-related symptoms. Rooms are clearly being turned over quickly without proper attention to air quality and maintenance. That is a serious concern for any guest, especially families. The medical care we received in Aruba was excellent, and we’re grateful for that. Unfortunately, the resort did not match that level of care or accountability, and no one has followed up with us since. This experience has definitely changed how we view Playa Linda as their managements dismissive nature and lack of accountability truly showed when we tried to discuss this on property. At this point, we are hopeful that public visibility will be what finally prompts the resort to respond and address this situation appropriately.

I got food at Eduardo’s shack. I was told I could sit at one of the beach chairs. One of the attendants told me I couldn’t sit on the chair even though there were so many empty seats. He made sure to tell me twice “no chairs, no lounge just for you”. In front of others which was humiliating. Thanks buddy! I was depressed to start with and he did not help. So I sat on the floor like a good girl. Even got some sand in my bikini.

I have been going here 9 years and none of those years have disappointed me. I don’t even think I can fit everything they have to offer in this review but I will try. First of all the workers and staff are nicest and positive people, great pool, there is a bar, breakfast place, dinner place, and a kid friendly place where you can drop off your kid for as long as you want. The dinner places are exceedingly good. I don’t even know how to express how good this place is. I recommend definitely.

My family just finished a vacation at the Playa Linda resort. We had an amazing time! Great beach, convenient location, and a lot of great food options. I do not normally leave reviews and would happily give this resort five stars but my family had a scary experience because of the air quality in the rooms that future guests need to be aware of especially when traveling with young children. We had a three year old and a seven year old in our group who both have asthma. During our vacation their asthma flared up while staying in opposite ends of the resort. It was so bad when in the rooms that we had to sleep on the balcony and travel to see doctors to receive airway treatment the next morning. It could have been the black mold we found in our shower or possibly something in the air conditioning. I hope this resort does the right thing and gets this fixed!

Great place. In the center of it all. Walking distance to a multitude of restaurants, bars, stores and coffee. Taxis always out front waiting. Great friendly staff. Great walking area.
