Fodor's Expert Review Blue Residences

Bookended by Aruba’s two most famous beaches (Eagle and Palm) on its own private man-made sandy strand right across the street, the new Blue Residence Towers—three columns of condo hotel-style suites ranging from one to five bedrooms—offer epic unfettered views of the sea. There are full kitchens in all suites, and a few deluxe hotel rooms without kitchens, but they all boast floor-to-ceiling glass walls for optimum views. Designed to be more condo than hotel, it has interesting extras like private storage lockers for returning guests.
