Aruba Resorts With Casinos

The Marriott holds the top overall rating at 4.5 across more than 8,000 reviews, and the Stellaris Casino is one of the larger gaming floors on the island. The 4.7 cleanliness and 4.6 service scores show the operation runs tight even during peak crowds. Direct beach access and a swim-up bar mean you can bounce between the pool, the sand, and the tables without leaving the property.

The tradeoff: You're paying for size and polish, which means you'll share the pool deck and beach chairs with a lot of other guests, especially during high season.

The Hyatt clocks a 4.4 rating across more than 7,000 reviews and has earned back-to-back Travelers Choice awards. It ranks #14 in Palm Beach — comfortably above average — and the casino is big enough to keep you occupied for a few hours. Direct beach access and a kids club mean families can split time between the gaming floor and the sand.

The tradeoff: The resort runs large and lively, so expect a busy pool scene and occasional waits at the beach bar, especially if you're here with kids during school breaks.

The Holiday Inn ranks #11 out of 26 in Palm Beach and holds a 4.3 rating across more than 8,000 reviews. The 4.8 location score reflects its position on a good stretch of beach with the buzz of restaurants and other casinos within walking distance. It runs all-inclusive and has a kids club, so you can lock in meals and let the family split time between the casino and the pool.

The tradeoff: The all-inclusive model means you're paying upfront for meals you may not use if you want to explore the island's restaurants, and the property runs large with the expected poolside bustle.

The Riu Palace sits at #22 among 26 Palm Beach hotels, but it covers the basics with a 4.0 rating across nearly 9,500 reviews. The 4.7 location score puts you steps from the beach and walking distance to other casinos if you want variety. The all-inclusive setup and swim-up bar mean you can stick around the property and still find enough to do between gaming sessions.

The tradeoff: You're paying the same $900 a night as higher-ranked resorts but getting a noticeably less polished operation, especially around service response and room maintenance.

The Hilton ranks #16 in Palm-Eagle Beach but earns a 4.8 location score — you're mid-strip with shops, restaurants, and other resorts all within a short walk. The 4.4 overall rating across 3,490 reviews shows it delivers consistently, and the casino is solid enough for a few hours of play. The kids club and direct beach access make it workable for families who want gaming options on-site.

The tradeoff: The convenience of being mid-strip means more noise and crowds, and the resort itself doesn't stand out in service or upkeep compared to higher-ranked neighbors.

The Ocean Club is a timeshare property with full kitchens and separate living spaces, which is useful if you're staying more than a few nights or need room for kids to spread out. The 4.6 location score puts you steps from the beach and the Stellaris Casino next door at the main Marriott. The 4.3 rating across 1,687 reviews shows it's a reliable option, especially for longer stays where you want to cook a few meals.

The tradeoff: You get more space and kitchen flexibility, but you lose the kids club, swim-up bar, and lively pool scene that come with a traditional resort, and you'll walk next door to the Marriott for the casino.

The Westerly is an adults-only section inside the Hilton with its own check-in and pool. The perfect 5.0 rating comes from only three reviews, so the sample is thin, but all three landed at five stars. You get access to the Hilton's casino and beachfront while staying in a quieter, more polished corner of the property. The adults-only setup is rare on this strip, and it shows in the vibe.

The tradeoff: The three-review sample means you're taking a risk on consistency, and you're paying the same $900 a night as the main Hilton for access to a smaller pool and a section that may not always deliver on the perfect subratings.
