This was a really big surprise for us 😍❤ 2 nights at the Hilton Aruba 💫💖 Sepp and I were completely speechless 😁 We really enjoyed the pool, we loved the beautiful garden 🌺🦜🌿 the cosiness in the resort, but most of all we enjoyed it to be with you 💞 The vlog has become super super nice, & especially the old images of your family really beautiful to see 🥰 Thank you for making this great vlog and for taking us to this wonderful hotel!💕 Really enjoyed it all lief!😘
What is not told in the video is that this was a surprise 2 night stay for Marleen and Sepp 😬 I really enjoyed their faces, especially when around the pool, it was so nice to cool off there. We also had a lot of fun playing the games in the garden. One of the big reasons I wanted to vlog here was to be able to showcase these old clips that were made by my father on super 8 film (or something like that) in 1959 or 1960. I base that on how old my sister looked. Happy to have taken you there lief, let’s hope not the last time☺️☀️🏝😎
@@LetsgowithHyro 🥰😘
This is so special that your family has old videos of the hotel. Amazing!
It really is!
Curaçao 🇨🇼
Morning Hyro. Good to see Marleen is back. Hope all is well. I've never stayed at the Hilton but I've walked though the shops and lobby. It would of been cool seeing palm beach back in 50s when it was empty of resorts. Great video brother.
Hey brother☀️ Happy Sunday to you! Yes, everything good and I hope on your side too! I know large resorts arent’t for everybody but I must admit We genuinely enjoyed staying here. I would have loved to be able to go back in time and see how things were on my island, it’s something I day dream about all the time😊☀️🏝
What a beautiful review vlog, Hyro! It’s almost like a relaxing lounge video with those beautiful shots around the resort and with the music on the background! Really like the archives you’ve shared in this video. It must be very special for you that your father worked on it and your family is in it… many thanks for this one and until the next one!😊😎
Thanks a ton my friend. It was very important and the perfect vlog for me to include those old clips for you all. Showing Aruba is always nice but I like to teach a/o explain things too, I find that so nice. See you next time.
Nice to see a review of the Hilton from you. I booked 3 or 4 nights for my trip. Azia looks like an amazing restaurant also.
Nice to know & I guess just on time😊🏝☀️
Really enjoyed the vlog and loved the old clips of you and your family so glad you were finally able to do a video there I knew they would be happy to have you do a review. Truth be told your the best thing representing the island an amazing ambassador keep up the awesome work luv you both ❤🤗🌈 and as a Hilton employee myself your #1 reason truly filled my heart with joy 😊
Thanks Kimberly 🙂🙌🏼☀️ It’s so cool to have been able to share the old clips with you all🏝🤩 Thanks for your kind words🤗words, we luv you too!
Clueless in Aruba 🇦🇼
Really loved this video! Hilton has one of the most beautiful properties on Aruba. Amazing how Family filmed there many years ago when it opened the first Hotel and now you got to review the Hilton! The birds and pools were amazing🤩 Keep the videos coming Hyro👏🏾
Thanks Aron, they sure have! Sharing those old clips was a MUST. I love to show the island to everyone but also enjoy teaching them something about it in the process! Thanks for watching.
Loved the family photos from way back when. I first heard of Aruba when I was 13 (1974) and my cousin honeymooned there. I bet they stayed at that property. Thanks Hyro!
Oh wow, that's a while back :-) I think these clips were from 1960. I think there is a pretty good chance they did stay here.
Awesome to think about!
Another great informative video. We have yet to visit the Hilton Aruba Caribbean, but will take this walkthrough into consideration. Thank you Hyro.
We just got back a week ago and stayed at the Divi Phoenix. Wonderful time and super family friendly.
Glad it was helpful Peter :-) Thanks for choosing Aruba, we hope to welcome you again!
Vele vele prachtige Aruba Hilton in Palm Beach , Zeker als de zon naast je schijnt, Heel erg bedankt👌
Ook bedankt 😊🙌🏼 Als iemand voor de Palm Beach zou kiezen zou de Hilton een hele goeie optie zijn☀️🏝
Hi Hyro. Nice video from the Hilton! We went there often last winter for our morning coffee. As you said, this is a very nice place, good staff, nice birds and parrots. We are looking forward to go back for a great morning coffee 😉. Louise 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Louise :-) Yes it's a beautiful property. Hope to see you soon.
I stayed at the Aruba Caribbean 5 times from 1961 until 1966 (skipping 1962 because we were there in December 1961) with my parents and have nothing but fond memories of the place. The Aruba tower was the only one back then and except for 1966 it was the only hotel on Palm Beach. I remember they had these pink Jeeps you could rent for island tours which was cool as I had the Tonka version. We made friends with some people who lived on the island on the first trip and so each time after that we’d visit them. There was also a lovely local woman named Julia that would watch my brother and I and occasionally take us to her house to play with her kids. It was such an idillic time and I hope one day to return!
Wow, I'd wish to have seen those years in person. Even the 1980's was very different from now. Thanks for sharing your story!
@@LetsgowithHyro I think the biggest difference between then and now is that a family could afford to stay there without being millionaires as the minimum daily change now is around $500 a night, way higher than it was back then even adjusting for inflation.
Beautiful memories ❤
We walked through the Hilton and had a look at a room, very nice hotel . The filming of the seascapes in this video are stunning. We always enjoy Hyro’s positive and upbeat attitude.
Thanks Brian, appreciate it 🙂🙌🏼cheers🍹🏝☀️
Nice vlog! Happy to see u sharing this as u always wanted to. Hope u continue with all 5 stars there.
Thank you, I will, that's the plan :-)
Ziet er top uit allemaal Hyro. Leuke verrassing voor Marleen en Sepp.
Ik zou Hilton hoogstens voor een paar dagen doen, wij zijn meer van het kleinschalige, vaak meer ruimte, privacy, eigen keuken etc.
Danki bro!!
Helemaal begrepen Paul, zulke hotels zijn niet voor iedereen hoewel we echt heel veel hadden geniet van onze dagen daar bij de Hilton. Ayo :-)
Another great one Hyro !!!!! It certainly helps travelers educate themselves on which place to stay they would enjoy the best !!!! Keep up the good work !!!!
Thank you so much John 🙂
Great video, Hyro! My husband and I really enjoy your vlogs. They are very helpful when we visit. We would love to see more hotel and restaurant reviews. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Stephanie :-) More to come...but budget permitting, they are not always sponsored :-)
Great video, Hyro, thanks for sharing. Place looks really nice. Looks like you guys had a good time 🙂👍
Thanks Scott, we did😊☀️🏖🙌🏼
We always stay at the Holiday Inn but have admired the grounds of the Hilton. Have eaten at Gilligan's many times though. Boy, Hyro you certainly have seen much change on your lovely island. We'll be back! Cheers!
Hello David, thank you for watching! Yes... many many changes! Cheers!
Hello my friend Hyro! I,ve stayed there when it was the Golden Tulip (1989)……this was the first time and it was very nice (went in July and the for New Years Eve that same year). Then I went back 3 more times in other hotels….,love your country sooooo much! God bless you……a big hug from your Brazilian fan….
Hello my friend! Wow, yes Golden Tulip, that's a while back but nice too, thanks for mentioning it. I send you a big hug too, thank you so much for the support!
Great video! We have never stayed at the Hilton, we mostly stay at the Holiday Inn. But we visit the Hilton casino once or twice during the week. I hope the Hilton treated to you to a wonderful vacation. You deserve it, you are so great for showing people how wonderful Aruba is! PS We noticed that every year we see less and less iguanas. I was worried about them, but it seems they all moved to the Hilton! LOL
Hello Kara, nice to hear from you. The Holiday Inn has a great location too :-) Yes, apart from the beautiful resort, the staff at the Hilton was really nice and helpful. Speaking about the iguana's I remember the Hyatt had to many of them but not sure if they still do. The Hilton does have quite a few :-)
I just booked a week at the Hilton in May. I’m even more excited after watching your video. My last trip to Aruba was not as good as I had a horrible stay at the Riu Palace. Will never stay there again!
Sorry to hear about your stay at the Riu. I'm not too familiar with it myself. We found the Hilton to be very nice.
@@LetsgowithHyro Let’s just say the food was really bad, the bed was rock hard and the hotel accused me of stealing the TV.
Nice video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
You should do a video tour of every hotel in Aruba. Would be awesome. Tourists would be able to select the best hotel to their preference based on your tours. Cheers!
That’s the plan☺️ but it’s not easy😅🏝☀️Will do my best. Thanks for watching!
The Hilton is a beautiful resort. It has a great vibe and the grounds are really nice. I really enjoyed Azia, a bit pricey but it fits the service and the food is delicious. They have great cocktails as well.
It really is. One of the most beautiful ones on the island. We used to go here a lot as a kid. It had like some secret passages but so much has changed now. I’m so happy to see they have kept the history alive though👍🏼☀️🙌🏼
Awesome videos sir. Helps us cope between trips!!
Thanks Kenny🙂🙌🏼😅
I’m in Aruba staying at the Hilton hotel and so far it’s pretty good
Great to hear! welcome☀️🏝️
Yes Hyro. Nice hotel. I was the first one to see your video today. Will u b doing videos for other hotels to?
Thanks Carleanos! Not immediately but anything is possible 🙂It would/could always help if you write a hotel and tell them about my channel and that you would like to see them featured on it.
@@LetsgowithHyro I'm staying at the Hyatt first week of November. I'll be sure to tell the hotel about your channel!
Was just reminded by a friend that the Hilton Hotel was the Radisson before it became the Hilton. I don’t know if it was originally the Radisson when first built as a lot of the hotels have changed hands and been renamed. The Barcelo was once called the Occidental Grand when we first stayed there.
Don’t recall the names 100% but when it opened it was the Aruba Caribbean Resort/hotel. It was also The Golden Tulip before becoming the Radisson.
I think this note was missed in the video, but at a certain point, this hotel was part of the Golden Tulip Network also. Part of the Royal Family from the Netherlands. Beautiful hotel and video
Indeed, thanks for pointing that out! Saludos
We stayed at the penthouse in that hilton
Nice, how was it?
What a great video 😊😊
Thanks Sarah🙂🏝☀️
Nice vid! I wanted to see the casino though!
Thanks, will try the next time!
We are coming back in December! Our 3rd time.
Yay...Nice to hear this :-)
Yeah, we still didn't get to try Gianni's either. There was a huge lineup there when we went and I'm very impatient. I hate lineups. Maybe next time.
Try making a reservation, that would be my recommendation because it’s indeed almost always full.
Love your videos, My wife and i have been watching them all prepping for our trip to Aruba next week. If I may ask a question, we will be down there for our 3rd anniversary, what/where is a nice place to have an anniversary? any nice hidden gem picnic areas, or cool romantic places?
Barefoot restaurant, Bohemian or lima bistro!
Hello David, thank you for your kind message and happy to hear from you. The places mentioned by @Taierazapata are sure all worth a look. The Flying Fishbone is also nice but often booked well in advance. Yemanja, Papiamento, Quinta del Carmen comes to mind. Perhaps since you mentioned picnic, you might want to look at this too: instagram.com/picnicaruba/
Leuke video's. Ik ben ze allemaal aan het bekijken. Wij gaan in november 11 dagen naar Aruba en verblijven in het Hilton. Klopt het dat je voor de parasols moet betalen op het strand en bij het zwembad? Het is voor mij al even geleden dat ik op Aruba ben geweest, maar vroeger kon je gewoon gratis gebruik maken van de parasols.
Dank je wel Sonja :-) Leuk om te weten over je trip van November. Voor een groot aantal parasols moet je wel betalen maar er zijn ook een paar die gratis zijn (first come first serve). Ik vond dat zelf niet zo handig maar ja zo is het tegenwoordig.
LGWH, great video, I just found your channel, i will check out some more of your vids. I subscribed to your channel!
Welcome and thank you for the sub :-)
Co co cool
Thanks!
Wow tomorrow we are going for a walk from Amsterdam Manor to the nord, and wil check this hotel..👍👍 can we lunch there? 🙂
Hello Seijs, yes you can at the Beach side.
Can you tell me what kind of room you had in the Bonaire tower? I would Iike to book that room but can’t find it ! Thank you!
If I recall correctly it was the suite with the french balcony.
Great video! Too bad you didn’t capture the many complementary activities such as yoga and pool aerobics which makes it even a better place to stay! Next time you go reach out to me via Topfit Aruba and I’ll be glad to let you know which activities (at different hotels) we provide 😁
Thanks Taierazapata :-) It's true (and sorry for missing it), there was so much to cover but let me know, perhaps we can do like a collab or something regarding this!
Is the breakfast room rate worth it?
We like their breakfast☺️
Do you know, how and where I can rent a room/ an appartment in Oranjestad, because I am going to study in Aruba for 5 months? Thank you in advance:)
Many of the appartments have now moved on and become Airbnb. I do not currently know of any.
All those hotels on palm beach, are you allowed to walk through the grounds even if your not a paid guest? I understand not going into the hotel or eating at the restaurant lol
I think you are able to walk through the grounds and pool areas of the hotels that aren’t all inclusive because they normally have security to keep out non guests. This applies at the Riu and the Barcelo as far as I’m aware.
Yes you are allowed to
Walk through those hotel properties and also path alongside the beach
Hello Don, yes you are allowed except the All Inclusive ones they may ask you to leave (but not always the case).
We always walk around and as long as you aren't trying to use the pool or take advantage of things that are only for guests it's fine. We also like to walk around every hotel and check out the lobby and things before we check out their casinos at night.
Are you getting comped for these videos? Lack of full disclosure is poor approach.
Thanks for watching.
Clueless in Aruba 🇦🇼
Welcome🇦🇼🏝️
I think Arubans stay in Aruba lol
Why wouldn't they. It's paradise on earth. If I lived there I wouldn't want to leave either. It sure beats the "armpit of Canada" where I'm currently living.
We stayed at the Hilton Resort back in May of 2022 courtesy of Southwest when our flight was cancelled. It was too bad we only stayed one night and didn’t have a chance to explore the Resort ground much. It was a choice between staying in our own condo or the Resort but since it was free plus we already cleaned our condo before we left for the airport. I am glad we got to tried it out though.
Great video as I just let the island a few days ago.
Staycation 😊🏝☀️🍹at its best🙌🏼
Nice under the circumstances Eddie👍🏼
Looks grossly over priced. Poor views. No kitchen, small fridge, and what about drink prices failed to mention that or anything except breakfast. Thought this is an all inclusive joint. Guess not.
Sad to hear you think so. We liked it there.
Another great vlog Hyro. I was especially interested because we stay next door at the Barcelo every January. Haven’t been able to visit since Covid but return this January after a three year hiatus. Can’t wait! Really loved the old photos of Palm beach before all the hotels were built. Keep up the great work!
Happy to hear about your return :-) & I personally love the old Aruba too :-)
