The Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino has completed a comprehensive renovation of all 414 guestrooms and suites, marking a refreshed new chapter for the Palm Beach property. The phased project began in the spring and was finalized in early December 2025, introducing an updated coastal-inspired design throughout the resort.
The redesigned rooms now feature a neutral color palette of sand, tan, and taupe, complemented by coral and sea-glass accents. Floor-to-ceiling windows enhance natural light and provide sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea and surrounding landscape. Each room includes new marble-topped work desks, tropical-toned seating areas, updated flooring, and modern lighting fixtures such as rattan desk lamps and slim metallic lights. Artwork showcasing palm trees, beaches, and ocean scenes was added to elevate the ambiance. Hallways were also refreshed with new carpeting featuring large seashell and aquatic patterns.
Bathrooms were fully upgraded with double vanities, marble countertops, backlit mirrors, light wood finishes, and open shelving. Showers now include sliding glass doors, waterfall showerheads, a foot niche, and light gray tile walls. Select rooms also feature oversized soaking tubs.
The renovation extends to all 24 suites, offering 625 square feet of space and wrap-around balconies overlooking Palm Beach and the Caribbean Sea. The Tradewinds Club, the resort’s adults-only luxury experience, includes three Junior Suites and two Governor’s Suites.
The Mandara Spa received significant updates as well. Spanning 6,500 square feet, the spa now features 12 treatment rooms, new saunas, steam rooms, and enhanced décor. The outdoor courtyard has been upgraded with a hot tub, cold plunge pool, and additional seating areas.
“I couldn’t be more energized about this next chapter for the Aruba Marriott Resort,” said Raoul Lemmerling, complex general manager. “With the recent upgrades to the Stellaris Casino and expansions to the Mandara Spa, the refreshed rooms bring a breath of fresh air to both returning and first-time guests as we continue our journey to exceed expectations.”
The resort continues to offer a wide range of amenities, including a family-friendly pool with swim-up bar, the adults-only H2Oasis pool, the casino, spa, Tradewinds Club, and 10 on-site restaurants offering diverse cuisine and dining experiences.
