Paradise Found: Our Family Vacation at Aruba Marriott Surf Club

As soon as we landed in Aruba, we felt the island’s warm, breezy welcome. We were ready for a week of adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable memories at the Aruba Marriott Surf Club. The drive from the airport was quick, and soon we arrived at the hotel, greeted by the scent of the ocean and the sight of palm trees swaying against the sunset.

Our room had a breathtaking view of the Caribbean Sea. Every morning, we’d step out onto the balcony, coffee in hand, and watch the sunrise paint the sky in pinks and oranges. The beach was just steps away, and the powdery white sand and clear, turquoise water called to us.

Our days settled into a rhythm: mornings were for relaxing by the pool or lounging on the beach. The kids loved the lazy river, floating along in pure bliss as the warm sun beamed down. For those of us seeking a little adventure, Aruba Marriott Surf Club’s beach offered countless options. We tried paddleboarding, explored the coastline, and even gave windsurfing a go, our laughter mixing with the crash of waves as we tried to keep our balance.

Afternoons meant strolling through the nearby shops, picking out unique souvenirs, and enjoying the local flavors at charming restaurants just a short walk away. We savored the fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and icy treats that were perfect after a day in the sun.

One evening, we joined a sunset catamaran cruise, marveling as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the sea. As we returned to shore, the lights of the hotel sparkled like stars, and we knew this was a moment we’d remember forever.

Back at the resort, the nightlife had its own magic. We shared stories over dinner, tried our luck at the casino, and enjoyed live music under the starlit sky. Each day ended with us feeling both wonderfully exhausted and already eager for the next.
