New Tower, Upgrades Coming to Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino

Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino is undergoing a property-wide transformation, including the addition of a new tower. 

Construction began in May 2023 and is expected to be completed by fall 2025. The rest of the renovations – from refreshing the existing guest rooms to rebranding the restaurants – will be rolled out incrementally. The resort remains open. 

“These enhancements will redefine the guest experience at the award-winning resort and further expand our legacy as a top destination for visitors to Aruba,” said Lawrence Tuck, general manager. “During the project, we are continuing to welcome visitors with the exceptional service and hospitality that we are known for and look forward to surpassing expectations once the expansion is completed.”    

The resort’s new tower will have 161 luxury accommodations, including 18 oceanfront suites, and feature an adult-only rooftop club. Guest rooms and suites in the existing Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao towers will all be renovated and completed by fall 2024.

A revamp of the resort’s food and beverage offerings has also begun. Mira Solo, the outdoor bar and lounge, recently reopened as Sunset Bar. By fall 2024, Gilligan’s Seafood Shack will become Shore Club, an outdoor restaurant centrally located between the two pools and beach. Laguna, known for its breakfast, will begin serving dinner, and Sunset Grille will get an updated design.  

Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino was the first hotel to open on Aruba’s Palm Beach about 65 years ago. The seaside resort features 358 (soon to be 519) guest rooms and suites, a Las Vegas-style casino with a live poker room, 60,000 square feet of event space, and the eforea Spa.

Updated information about the renovations, including when construction is taking place and which rooms may be impacted, is available on Hilton’s website.
