Whoever reconfigured how to fit the same amount of furniture and fixtures in each room is to be commended. (The resort is 20 years old) We toured one of the renovated rooms and it was gorgeous. Yes, the rooms are small and the furniture is 'dated' however, the facility is undergoing a 3 year complete renovation. This was our first trip to Aruba (we are Bluegreen owners) and after reading all the negative comments posted, I wasn't sure what to expect. We stayed at La Cabana March 4-11, 2008 and encountered absolutely no problems whatsoever with the room. Enjoyed the Havanna Show at the Crystal theater, El Gauchos, Texas De Brazille, Argentian grill, Just a great vacation in paradise. Also had a great car deal from Optima while we were there, although I recommend making a reservation ahead of time. I would also me remiss if I did not mention the fun of the Key Largo casino from Noel, Sully and the entire staff, Great food and great times. I would recommend this hotel as a first class accommodation only topped by theįriendliness of its staff. We booked week vacation through Omaha Travel and were 100% satisfied. The maid service was outstanding and very prompt to make sure you were totally satisfied. The Aruban was much nicer and much cleaner, The beach was the best and just a short walk away with free cabannas and staff to assist your every request.
The last time we were at the Holiday Inn SunSpree. This was our second visit to Aruba and will go again.
