The Pool at Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino

"The fine-sand beach, which is studded with 150 palapas, seems to come all the way up to a pair of free-form swimming pools rimmed by cabanas and sea oats"

"Full-service resort ticks off all the beach vacation boxes: two palm-fringed swimming pools, outdoor bar, 355 tidy guest rooms and suites, and all the ocean you can stand"

"Guests looking to be in the middle of everything should opt for a room in the Aruba Tower, which has views of the ocean and pool"

"Two zero-entry pools, upscale dining, a casino, a first-rate spa, and a kids' club add to the offerings, and there is also a five-star PADI dive facility on-site"

"Sporting two large pools, exotic landscaping (with caged parrots), a top-notch spa and fitness center, and a long beach where kids and teens run wild, the Radisson is an excellent value, especially since its $26 million renovations were completed in October 2011 of all guestrooms, the casino, and all other common areas"

"It offers a host of aloe-inspired treatments, Vichy and Swiss showers, and relaxation rooms featuring saunas, steam rooms and cold plunge pools"
