Divi Aruba Phoenix Beach Resort vs Tamarijn Aruba – At a Glance

Category Divi Aruba Phoenix Beach Resort Tamarijn Aruba
Overall Vibe All-ages, all-suite beachfront resort with a relaxed Palm Beach feel, kitchens, pools, kids’ programming, and flexible dining rather than an all-inclusive plan. All-inclusive Aruba beach resort feel, better for guests who want meals, drinks, and resort time wrapped into one simpler vacation format.
Location On Palm Beach in Noord’s High-Rise hotel district, close to the beach scene, dining, shopping, and island activities. On Aruba’s west-coast beach corridor, with an all-inclusive setup that encourages guests to spend more of the trip on property.
Rooms & Suites Studio, one-, two-, and some three-bedroom all-oceanfront suites with kitchens and private balconies or patios—ideal for longer stays and families. Better suited to travelers who prefer a straightforward resort room experience paired with all-inclusive convenience rather than kitchen-equipped condo-style living.
Dining Not all-inclusive; guests have full kitchens plus on-site options including Purebeach, pureocean, Puredeli, and a poolside/oceanfront pizzeria and grill. Stronger if you want dining and drinks included as part of the resort package, with less planning around grocery runs or off-property meals.
Pools & Beach Two side-by-side outdoor freshwater pools, a swim-up bar, a separate children’s pool, and direct Palm Beach access with complimentary first-come beach chairs. Beachfront all-inclusive setting that works well for travelers who want to settle into a resort beach day without leaving for meals and drinks.
Kids & Family Family-oriented property with Divi Little Explorers kids’ club for ages 4–12, a children’s pool, and larger suite layouts for families. Family-friendly option for guests who want the ease of an all-inclusive structure and a beach-resort environment for mixed-age trips.
