Holiday inn states that it is a family resort. Not at all. Everything, pool, beach and family area closes at 7pm, earlier if they are hosting a wedding. Nothing to do at the hotel. We had all inclusive, but the restaurants had to turn us away because they were full. We needed reservations to eat our included meals. Meals were good if you could get them at the restaurants. Front desk staff was the rudest of all. They behaved like you putting them out, but it was their job. Washing machines and dryers were broken, and the machines to buy soap were also broken or out of soap. Nothing to do in Aruba because it is not for children. Aruba is very much a grown-up destination. Going out - sex and drugs in all stores and security standing over you every second (everywhere - in the hotel and outside) making it feel unsafe or that they think you are a criminal. The air conditioner was broken and loud. Holiday Inn was run down, just another decade and it will be added to the many, many abandon buildings. Also, bring as much sun block as you can!! It's $30 a can of spray.
