Recreation
The majority of recreational activities and facilities described below are included in the room rate for this resort (scroll up to the All-Inclusive details section for more information). The resort is arrayed along 275 meters (300 yards) of Druif Beach, where lounge chairs and thatched-roof shades encourage relaxing to the sounds of the sea. Druif Beach continues south to a companion resort, Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive, and guests often stroll the undeveloped section that connects the two resorts. The Divi Winds Sports Center, opened in 2004, is located between the resort and Tamarijn Aruba. It offers expansive views of the ocean and a fitness center with treadmills, stationary bicycles, elliptical machines, and steppers as well as free weights. On the beach is a 9-meter (30-foot) climbing tower fitted with four belay stations and monitored by instructors. The resort’s Fun Makers, who coordinate the many on-site activities, work out of the Sports Center to help guests with an array of non-motorized water sports equipment such as snorkeling gear, windsurfers, small sailboats, floats, and kayaks. Also available are snorkeling lessons and tours, windsurfing clinics, and bicycles. The Links at Divi Aruba, a 9-hole golf course, is across the street and is open to the public (surcharges). The recreational activities listed below are available either on site or near the resort; fees may apply.

| Just got back from Divi. Most relaxing vacation ever. Do as much or as little as you want. We stayed at the resort pretty much the whole week. It was a wonderful vacation. Would highly recommend it to others.

| We stayed here for our honeymoon! Besides the plane delays with American Airlines (we lost a day of our honeymoon) everything was perfect! The food was great, drinks were great, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the water was absolutely gorgeous too! We got a free room upgrade to beachside because it was our honeymoon! There are lots of extracurricular things to do such as snorkeling, scuba diving, windsurfing, and other activities that cost money. There are also lots of free daily activities through the hotel. We highly recommend and we can't wait to go back!

| Good family resort, fairly clean and safe. Small rooms but very quiet. All watersport activities are at the Tam, but the Divi is quieter - never had a problem getting a hut on the beach. Service got better the more I tipped.

| The beach for the Divi was great. Very large.. easy to feel somewhat "secluded". A lot of fun water activities included. Floats were provided, which was nice for use in the ocean. We only wished the hotel rooms/bathrooms would have been nicer and cleaner.

| Divi All Inclusive is a great place to stay for the money. The rooms are simple but clean. It's a huge benefit to be able to use the hotel next door as part of the all inclusive package. The food is good--both the buffet and the reservation restaurants. The drinks are great and never ending. Bartenders are friendly and appreciate a few tips. Perfect location--right on the beach with 2 pools too. All inclusive is the only way to go!

| This was our first time to visit Aruba and we are already thinking about our next trip. We would definately stay at the Divi. The staff was very friendly, the accommodations were comfortable, and the beach was absolutely beautiful. If you enjoy snorkeling, we would suggest Arashi Beach and Malmok Beach. Shopping downtown was fun with all the local vendors, but beware there are jewelry stores everywhere!!!

| The Divi is a great place to stay with a fabulous beach, fun bars, lovely, comfortable rooms (ours was right on the beach and felt like paradise), and plenty of facilities. A casino is next door. All-inclusive is a great way to go, as the convenience (and savings) can't be beat. The food was only OK but by no means bad, and the buffets allow you to eat when you feel like it without being locked in to reservations. The service was not especially warm or friendly overall (especially desk staff). Attentiveness of servers improves with tips. Also, note that while this particular hotel is promoted as being for guests over age 21, in actuality, plenty of kids and babies were in residence during our stay. In summary, I'd readily recommend the Divi and would return again in a heartbeat.
