A St. Regis with a casino? The first one just opened in Aruba
Aruba is calling, and that shout is exceptionally loud for fans of Marriott's luxury hotels and resorts: The highly anticipated St. Regis Aruba Resort is now open.
Rising above Palm Beach, the St. Regis Aruba Resort has 252 guest rooms, including 52 suites. The property reflects its island surroundings: Accommodations feature bright rooms with a modern take on the canopy bed and windows that look out to the beach and ocean beyond. There are also many different balcony options. Suites come in all shapes and sizes, including suites with up to three rooms.
This St. Regis offers two different infinity pools with cabana rentals, plus beach access. For some R & R, the St. Regis Spa is ready to help guests work out their kinks with a massage; guests can also enjoy a full menu of other treatment options to find a true place of zen. The resort also has a state-of-the-art gym, so you can stay in shape for the duration of your stay. And if you're traveling with the little ones, the Children's Club has plenty of activities (both fun and educational) to help them have the best vacation yet.
In a first for St. Regis, the Aruba outpost also features a casino with table games and slot machines.
Sticking with St. Regis tradition, the St. Regis Bar will serve a unique take on the bloody mary: It's a Bon Bini Mary, made with fresh papaya, lime, habanero chile and aromatic spices. Beyond the hotel's eponymous bar, you can also get drinks at a secondary bar, Ventura, or enjoy coffee at Grano Cafe.
Dining presents its own opportunities for adventure. There's the rooftop Japanese-Korean restaurant Akira Back, from critically acclaimed chef Akira Back; a Caribbean restaurant called Eskama; and the poolside restaurant Nuba.
How to book: Cash rates start at $844 during the warmer summer months and jump to over $1,000 a night for peak winter dates. Marriott Bonvoy members can book with points, and there are a few available nights as low as 79,000 points. However, most fall between 85,000 and 115,000 points.
