T+L’s Hotel Review of The St. Regis Aruba Resort

I often self-realization as a condipper who sees pictures of the beautiful ocean and thinks they should be photoshopped. However, flying in Aruba for the first time gave me the best reality check: water is actually that picture-permanent stunning.

And fortunately for me, I was living in the newest hotel on the island, with no shortage of visuals of the turquoise ocean: St. Razis Aruba Resort.

The hotel feels that it is like an extension of the sandy beach, which is with white and beige colors with wood furniture and decorative accents. With nature-inspired palette and decoration, there is another recurring subject in the entire housing and public areas, which felt like a continuity of endless turquoise expansion outside the hotel doors. The general manager of the resort, the Oliver recreater, reported that the interiors actually take inspiration from the universal beauty and cultural prosperity of the island, as well as the Kasibari rock formation, Aruba’s unbroken boulder phenomenon.

“St. Razis Aruba Resort’s design mixed the Dutch-Caribbean culture with the storey heritage of the St. Razis brand,” said the Responors. “The property brings an elevated and luxury hospitality experience, which cannot be found anywhere else on the island. St. Razis Brand’s signature brings a new standard to the island, allowing guests to really migrate when going to one of the best destinations of Caribbean.”

Below, my complete review of Aruba’s latest luxury stay.

Room

St. Razis Aruba Resort has 252 guest rooms, including 52 suites, and almost all have balconies with sea views. Even the smallest guest room, in 516 sq ft, provides enough space to spread the guests, with a deep soak tub in double vanity and bathroom.

I remained in an Oceanfront suite, which was double the size of a standard room and felt like a spacious (and very luxurious) house with a living/dining area and a four-food area (and very luxurious) house (this room category is also available with two queen beds). However, the main attractions were the unnecessary caraibian views I enjoyed by both the window from the floor to the ceiling and the balcony outside the living room.

If you want to sprinkle, consider the 2,637-class-flower-foot-footing Jacob Estore Presidential Suite, which is the largest in the resort, which is a huge living room with a breakfast bar, a dining table for eight, and a personal equipped balcony, from which you can enjoy your morning coffee or evening coffee. According to reschreiter, it offers a biteroom suit “guests offer guests with the highest standard of Sign Razis’ signature.”

Food and drinks

St. Razis Aruba Resort offers six food and beverage options: Grano Cafe, a Grab-and-Go Coffee Shop; St. Razis Bar; Nuba, a poolside restaurant that serves lunch’s fare; Ascama, a breakfast and dinner; And Akira back, a Japanese and Korean-inspired restaurant.

Eskama is an indoor-outdoor dining space that doubles as a breakfast location during the day and a Mediterranean restaurant in the evening. Morning options include a classic buffet with standard fare, such as an omelet station, fresh fruit and local cheese. Meanwhile, roasted stubborn chicken, Australian lambs chops and messe are the main attractions of the Aa La Carte menu.

Nuba stands with classic poolside options such as Nuba, Eskama’s outdoor courtyard, Kevich, Shrimp Cocktail, Kali Mahi Mahi, Burger, Poke and Fish Tacos. (It also serves hotel guests in Cabana and Beach chairs.)

While St. Razis Bar is an ideal place for a drink, afternoon tea ($ 70; 24-hour reservation) is also a favorite daily activity here. Bar food menu bends towards the Asian-inspired fare-Think Hamachi Crudeo, Oyster, Vague Carpecosio and Sushi rolls.

But Chef Akira Back’s Crown Jewel of the Pak program of Akira Back. (Back earned a Michelin Star for his restaurant Dosa in Seoul in 2018.) Stons with their renunciation scenes in the roof space (which respectively stated that the island is the best on the island, and I believe it), which seems to cover the dinner. Start with an order from raw bar to salmon Tatki and Yeltel Carpeko, and go to Tuna Takos, a fresh cucumber salad, or a brinjal misso. Seafood dishes, such as lobster tail or butterfish, are a silly option, but such a stake (from which options are options). My personal favorite was the huge shrimp, which was served with corn and chodgang.

Activities and experiences

The hotel has a casino – the first for the St. Razis brand – with table games and slot machines, open to guests and island residents. “Local and passengers equally enjoy the nightlife view, known for Aruba, so adding a casino was important for the property, but we also wanted to ensure that it was still an elevated experience that guests expect St. Regis Hotel,” the recipe said.

St. Razis is famous in 1934 to make Barki Mary back to the King Coal Bar of St. Razis New York, and here, the guests can take a classic cocktail to prepare the Cocktail, or with an Aruban twist, Boni Mary is created with a reputed papy to Boni Mary Mary. Private classes are also available for $ 60 per person.

During my visit, the hotel coordinated a private tour of the island with de Palm tours, which took us to a rich for the second largest city in the island, such as California Lighthouse, Alto Vista Chapel, Ayo Rock Formation, Baby Natural Bridge, and San Nicolas, the second largest city in the island.

However, if you love your day pampering in the hotel, book a cabana (except for $ 350; except service fee) and enjoy some snorkeling time.

Do not miss another St. Razis staple – evening champagne subrej is taking place on the roof of the hotel daily.

The spa

All guests have access to the sauna and steam room, including ad-on spa services, including massage, manicure and pedicure, body scrub and facials. In some remedies, Aruba Aloe: The Island is known as the “The Island of Aloz”, with some of the world’s best mussels grown here.

Family friendly offerings

The resort has a curated list of activities – it refers to as “family traditions” – for children traveling with children. “Programming includes Little Chefs Academy, Family Yoga, Tiny afternoon Tea, Memory Journal and Cultural Story, celebrating the art of sports and connections,” said the recreater. Additionally, the youngest hotel’s youngest guests may be busy in the on-site Children’s Club, offering educational experiences contained in Aruba’s rich heritage.

Accessibility and stability

Eccessability features at St. Razis Aruba Resort include roll-in shower, bathtub Grab rail and dynamics with non-slip bathroom surfaces. The normal region-like spa, fitness centers, restaurants and pool-wheelchair-accessible, which are accompanied by easily available lifts and ramps throughout the hotel.

Reschreiter told T+L Service animals are welcomed on the site, and the pool has self-selection lift and sloping entries for guests needing dynamics.

Place

St. Razis Aruba sits on Palm Beach along the north -west coast of the resort island. Eagle beach, the best beach in the Caribbean, is another beautiful stretch of sand, a six -minute drive from the hotel (or 20 minutes walking). Butterfly farms and downtown orranjstads are also easily accessible.
