Divi Tamarijn Aruba from Druif Beach

[@consciousness_kim]

Thank you for the video! This is super helpful! I was looking into Tamarijn resort for the trip in March.. but this makes me a little hesitant to book. Do you think they are still replenishing the beach? are they still rocky?

Your chances of getting "beachfront" are very poor. ( Keyword being BEACH. ) They were trying to replenish the beach when we were there but the ocean kept taking it away. It could take years, or never. We obviously took our chances and lost.

We are already booked and concerned about the beach erosion, were you able to get in the water?

It is possible to get in the water in some areas easier than others. In front of our building 2300 you had to take great care due to the large rocks hidden beneath the waves. However there are a few buildings with good beach access. ( luck of the draw I'm afraid ) The good news is the Divi beach ( about 600ft ) NW is pristine. Beautiful sandy bottom, no seaweed, "almost" no beach vendors, and very little surf. ( perfect if you have kids ) However if you want a cabaña you will need to put your towel down early. One of the luxuries of the Tamarijn is a cabana located in front of your room. In our case the beach erosion was so severe we had to find a spot to spend the day. To summarize our experience, we were sold a beachfront room that had no beach. We have some experience with regards to which resort offers the best bang for the buck however everyone's tastes are different. Having said all this, we enjoyed our stay at the Tamarijn but felt our expectations of a beachfront paradise fell short of the price tag. Sosmra, like us, we knew the beach was bad and we still booked. We took our chances. We made the best of it. We had a good vacation regardless. With the right attitude you can make the best of everything. I could write a novel here about water, coffee, food, bar service, noise, quality of service, etc, etc, etc, but I wait on peoples questions. Thank You for taking the time to ask. I wish you the best vacation possible. Feel free to post if I am F.O.S. This way I know to temper my expectations. I know I am quite spoiled to go here in the first place.
