There's no direct beach access, but guests can walk to nearby Palm Beach (full of bustling restaurants, casinos and nightlife) or get in the car and head to a hidden beach recommended by the owners -- they know the local scoop, so guests should be sure to ask their advice.

"Across the road from the Marriott complex on Palm Beach, this small hotel is an ideal alternative to the big resorts."
Frommer's
"The romantic air that reigns throughout the hotel is enhanced by the private, air-conditioned casitas that are anything but rustic. Accommodations feature full kitchens and living rooms."

"Though families and honeymooners outnumber other guests, the vibe remains mellow and beach-focused, not frantic with kiddie activities or bass-thumping nightlife."

"Rooms here are oceanfront, but the shore is rocky. All units are spacious and open onto a patio or balcony."
Star Service
"This property has teamed up with neighboring sib, Divi Aruba Beach Resort, to offer a "mega all-inclusive" tariff that allows guests to use all the facilities at both properties. "
