Aruba hotels, side by side
Set side by side on what can be checked: Agoda's price for the same week at both, guest ratings on Google, the official taxi fares, and what our own reviews say.
1.3 km (0.8 mi) apart, in a straight line
Each hotel is pinned at the position Google returns for its own name. The faint dots are the other hotels we have reviewed.
Lowest nightly rate Agoda listed for two adults, read November 14, 2026. Both buttons open the same week, Dec 5 to 12, unless you have given us your dates. See the full table
Every figure names its source and its date. Where our review does not cover something, the cell says so.
Agoda rates: the lowest nightly rate its live feed listed for two adults, Dec 5 to 12, read November 14, 2026; taxes or fees may be extra, and a hotel with few rooms left that week shows a higher lowest rate. Google ratings read November 14, 2026. Taxi fares from the Government of Aruba tariff published May 27, 2026. Board, age policy and size are from our own reviews.
The verdict and the catch are our own words from each review: a local team's assessment, never a claimed stay.

Keep Ritz-Carlton, change the other
Keep Hyatt Regency, change the other
For Dec 5 to 12, Agoda listed the Hyatt Regency from $788 a night for two adults and the Ritz-Carlton from $2,432: $1,644 a night apart, about $11,508 over the week. That is one sample week read on November 14, 2026; rates move with the dates, so open both on Agoda with your own.
Both stand on the Palm Beach high-rise strip, about 1.3 km (0.8 miles) apart in a straight line. The official taxi fare from one to the other is $10 for up to four passengers.
Neither is all-inclusive: both are sold room only.
The official airport taxi fare is $41 to either, for up to four passengers. Fares are fixed by the Government of Aruba's tariff, published May 27, 2026; there are no meters, and $5 is added on Sundays, holidays and at night.
