Palm Beach, Aruba, Aruba

What distinguishes Palm Beach, Aruba is not any single property but the way the district holds together. Guests can compare several substantial resorts without committing to a long journey between them.

A low-rise and high-rise beach strip with reliably calm trade winds. We treat it as a district in its own right, because the properties here compete with each other far more than with the rest of the Bahamas, Aruba, and Puerto Rico.

The rate calendar in this district is event-led. Anyone able to travel midweek, or to shift around a fixture, will find the same room at a materially lower figure.

Our assessments of the properties below apply the same six weighted criteria used everywhere in this catalogue, so a score earned here is directly comparable with one earned in any other district we cover.
