Fodor's Expert Review Marriott's Aruba Ocean Club

L. G. Smith Blvd. 99, Palm Beach, n/a Aruba, Aruba

First-rate amenities and lavishly decorated villas with balconies and full kitchens have made this timeshare an island favorite. Units have either one or two bedrooms and large balconies; the resort offers an S-shape pool with a swim-up bar and waterfalls, as well as several hot tubs. Guests can access the facilities at the adjacent Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino, including the spa, fitness center, and casino. Yet another adjacent timeshare property, Marriott's Aruba Surf Club, is just as luxurious.
