[@LetsgowithHyro]

Great video Hyro. Looks like Eagle Beach is completely built out now. No more room for other hotels which is a good thing. Leave some space for the turtles

[@LetsgowithHyro]

We agree, Eagle Beach is truly a beautiful stretch of sand, and it’s great that the turtles have a place to nest!

[@karendykstra]

This is a beautiful property with many amenities. So much open space and tiled seating areas. Hard to believe it’s only 260 rooms. The Segways to the beach area are a novel idea! Great job, both of you.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

We agree, the design is very impressive & we loved showing it to you :-)

[@bkariel93]

My fiance and I have visited this hotel 3 times during this new year's week and we were blown away on how beautiful and peaceful the hotel is. God willing we will be staying there in the near future :)

[@LetsgowithHyro]

It is a beautiful resort indeed, we are so happy you enjoyed it & hope you are able to experience a stay there next time😊

[@Fallinlovewithmeforever]

Beautiful 😍😍😍 I can't wait to visit in 2026. And I can't wait to move Aruba in 2028❤

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Great to know!

[@thomasniblock5134]

Thanks for the video Hydro! Can't wait to come back and check it out myself!

[@LetsgowithHyro]

We’re excited for you too!

[@carleanoscarroll]

Awesome Hotel!You did an Awesome job filming this hotel. Looking forward to seeing the new hotels that are going to be open up in the future.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

We are glad you enjoyed it and we look forward to filming some more new resorts too!

[@EdCNJ]

Very impressive property! Excited to check it out. I’m fan of hotel bars and they appear to have several that peak my interest. Glad they allow the public to enjoy those areas. It seems like they will have a lot of fine dining options in that area. Senses Fine Dining are expected to open their new location on a property behind Joia Iberostar as well. Thanks for the update 👍🏻

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Yes, very beautiful resort. The staff was great. I think you will love those bars!

[@ironscott]

Thank you so much for posting this! We are booked there in early summer. Was a bit of a risk given the state of completion when we saw it in person a few months ago but it looks like they got an amazing amount of work done recently. They should hire you to shoot some promotional video :) This is better than anything we’ve seen from them. It is supposed to be adults only and is one of the main reasons we wanted to try it. We prefer peace, quiet and serenity. Cheers.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

We're so glad you like the video. In some way we were also confused about the Adults Only/Family Friendly. We would love to do a vlog here and a proper review if we get that opportunity. Enjoy your trip!

[@AnthonyMartinez-zh3sh]

Great Video. Looking forward to the St. Regis. Just booked a stay but theres not much on it online.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Should be a beautiful place too! Last we heard it will open Jan 22nd. Enjoy your trip and say hello to Brandon at the bar for us.

[@johnmartin1954]

Beautiful property a great presentation of the property by you and Marleen . Will be looking for Marleen’s view (content) on Travel Dutchie . Have a wonderful day !Incredible walkway through the resort ! A very classy property ! ❤

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Thanks for the kind words! We're so glad you liked the video😊

[@Arjay404]

Very beautiful resort. They seem to have taken shade in high consideration with the palm trees that will eventually cover the place, all the covered loungechairs and the portico along the building with seating under them. That is really great decision for a place where the sun can be really strong. Then add the perfect spot at Eagle beach right there and I think this resort will do well.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Yes indeed. Shade is important for protection of our skin. The Eagle Beach is a top spot!

[@Cynthia444M]

I stayed at the Pearl right behind there in March 2023 and they were working on the steel frame! They built this place fast!

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Yes, they worked really hard the last few months to have it the way it is right now.

[@robertmitchell7792]

Love the Pearl. I hope this place does not make the road unsafe to walk to the beach

[@paulhofstede]

Looks very nice Hyro 😎

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Thanks 👍it is! Groetjes.

[@davidatkinson1764]

Looks very nice. Since we rent at Oasis we’ve been concerned that Iberostar will have enough palapas for their guests since it’s already difficult to get one in that area. Will be back in late May so fingers crossed.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

We hope you get one and enjoy your trip!

[@ReginaRibaudo]

Our next trip we will try to book eagle beach, stayed at the ritz, which was very nice. ❤

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Eagle Beach is truly a beautiful location, enjoy it☀️

[@lucparent447]

People weren’t sure at first ,but is it an all inclusive resort

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Yes😊

[@IMFitShameka]

@@lucparent447 that’s my same question. I’m booked there by a travel agent and I was told it was not allinclusive but the website says otherwise.

[@cedricwager181]

Do you have to get up real early to try and save a spot with palapas on the beach like other resorts on the island?

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Not sure☺️

[@MurderMittens-c2j]

Great video. Just want to add one think. This resort is only all inclusive if you are a Iberostar club member that has a monthly paid membership with Iberostar. 😊

[@LetsgowithHyro]

We appreciate you clarifying, we will make sure to include that information in the next one👍🏼☺️

[@larryfrank4802]

Planning on our 1st trip to Aruba. What top 3 hotels would you recommend? Thanks!

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Depends on a lot of things but the Marriott, Hyatt and the Hilton. The Bucuti & Tara would also be a great choice on the low rise area.

[@FR_NY_SS]

Bucuti, Boardwalk Boutique , Manchebo and the Ritz are the top hotels followed by Marriott, Hyatt and Hilton.

[@CapeRN]

I love IBerostar ! Have been to Mexico and Punta Cana and they were incredible. But airports horrible! Love love Aruba- but saddened to hear you can’t stay here if not a member ? Is that accurate ?

[@LetsgowithHyro]

I think you can. Would not understand why not.

[@FR_NY_SS]

I read members get preferential treatment for obvious reasons and a private pool

[@FR_NY_SS]

Why are you marketing as all inclusive? Also, read that the resort is only at 20% occupancy and won't be fully finished or at capacity until summer.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

I believe there was a confusion about it.

[@kathleensorajakarsodikromo3858]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Thanks!

[@jackzelino4698]

They have no casinos, right?

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Thank for your question, it's not open yet but they will have one in the future.

[@CuracaoVlogs]

Hyro u should visit United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪 at least once. You will see so many similarities between Aruba and Emirates even creative ideas as both countries have an arid landscape and with strong hotel industry.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

I sure hope to visit there one day :-) saludos.

[@martiniguy7877]

Beautiful hotel, extremely expensive considering it isn’t an all inclusive. Can’t say I see the value in the video.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

The resort is indeed expensive, but it has an amazing location and some great features.

[@lucparent447]

I’ll be booking in 2026 , I’ll wait a year ,till everything is set up

[@LetsgowithHyro]

👍🏼Great👍🏼

[@debrastjean4501]

Great video- resort is too big

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Thanks.

[@jonathanandrews8674]

Not really liking the resort being across the street from the beach😩😞

[@LetsgowithHyro]

I understand☺️it's an old policy to protect the Eagle Beach.

[@FR_NY_SS]

Where are all the guests? Resort does not look interesting or fun.Disappointing and not impressed but the marketing or high prices.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

It's only been open for a short time. I'm sure it will come around.
