I just returned from a long weekend at HR Aruba. Some data points:
-I used points for my stay (res. made last November) and used a globalist suite upgrade - they gave us a standard suite, partial ocean views. Oddly, suite had a second little bedroom with bunk beds. One bathroom with just shower and single sink. Decent size living room, large TV in living and bedroom. Wet bar. Empty minibar, cheap coffee machine
-they did NOT charge me any resort fee or resort charge
-Regency Club on the ground floor (no outside space) - Sufficient breakfast spread, nothing special though. Hors d'oeuvres 5-7 pm, just ok in my opinion. Club closed at 8 pm. It can be crowded but I always found seats available
-Room renovation is done. Furniture looks cheap, however it is my first time in Aruba, as I understand the hotels' standard is different here compared to other Caribbean destinations. Cleanliness of room was very good, however.
-Common grounds of property are beautiful and well kept.
-I found the policy of reserving beach/pool chairs and/or umbrellas to be not 4 stars (particularly to pay $50 extra just to get one or 2 chairs) but again, I guess it is common in Aruba.
-Associates are in general friendly and helpful
