This is a very helpful video for those of us researching where to stay in Aruba for a first time trip and considering a stay at the Tamarijn. Thanks so much for sharing Corey!!😀
Excellent! Thank you so much. We used to stay at the 2500 building then started staying at the 1700 building. I was always curious what the beach looked like in front of the Divi.
Great video - THANK YOU! Was thinking about staying at the Divi Village Golf....What do you think? Is it really far to the beach? Also, with the all inclusive package, you can eat almost anywhere at the 3 resorts, right? One last question - if we stay at the Divi in the Vista rooms, can we use the amenities at the Divi Village Golf? My kids would like the water slide, etc.
Great video, thanks! We usually stay at the Tam but want to try the Divi next year. Which building did you stay at that you liked? The beach looks really nice and less rocky. Although we did love the Bunker Bar at the Tam!
Vista 2 ocean view 2nd floor. We really enjoyed the view, however, we’re doing vista 3 in January 23’. We were never really in the room but to sleep and shower so it really didn’t justify it for us. Regardless, the view was awesome and right out to the beach. There is a bar at the bottom of those stairs at vista 2/3 pool as well as the main one up by the main pool that i frequented the most. Enjoy your trip
The beach looks VERY different now. They recently just had some serious storms destroy the beach at Tam and part of Divi. Join their FB group and you’ll see. Regardless - Divi is still good beach. But this was filmed a little bit ago
Hello I am trying to decide between Divi and Tamajarin. First-time visitors. We prefer a great beach and a more quiet, relaxing atmosphere. I have read that the Tam is louder around the pools than the Divi. But the Tam has better rooms on the beach. Are there issues getting a beach umbrella at either location? Which would you recommend?
You’re correct- Divi wins hands down on beach. If u want a littler better room at Divi, vista 3 would be a good choice. It’s not walk out to the beach, but under 100 yards so it’s actually really nice. It’s my personal favorite even though last trip we did vista 2
Hi Corey, I saw your video on where to stay in Aruba (you choose the Divi) I'm disabled so I was wondering if there are rooms with the beach steps from your room - and the pool like right next to it? Thanks, Karen
Yeah, I’d say Divi building 1. When you say “steps” at most you’re 20 yards from the beach in that building depending on where your room is within that building. The pools is about the same distance If you’re going w Tam, I’d request closest to pool as possible, all rooms there are walkout to beach right there
@@coreyjohnson2007 your video was Sooooo Helpful...is the Divi Tam group in your video playlist? for the 1100-1400 blocks? I couldn't find it and I really wanna see what that part of the resort looks like
@@Listen2Lisa yeah, I realized I didn’t add that section for some reason after the edit . (It’s all big rock , unfortunately I don’t have the videos anymore, but will refilm it in January 23
Nah, I mean, the wife’s hair was perfect everyday, but w that heat, the wind was enjoyable. It’s not going to blow sand in your eyes, but it’s breezy. Perfect
We would like to come with 4 families where the Children rehang in ages fro 2-16. Are there waterspouts such as kayaks, paddle boards or jetskiis available for use or rental close by?
Divi or tam? Tam has zero beach now after the storms… Divi? I like building 2 - renovated and if you pay for the upgrade view it’s perfect . I’d want building 2, ocean view, building 1, then 3. The casitas didn’t do much for me
The far north end. Catch 22…. Best area of beach, furthest from lobby and bars. Divi has a better beach, tam is walk out… both good. There is a storm down there and the beach has changed a little since this was recorded but likely the north end would be best (first rooms in beginning of video)
@@Chris-zx2dz ram is great but the beach at the Divi is unmatched . We prefer to spend our time all on the beach, so we like Divi vista 3 and sitting on the beach!
Thank you for this! So helpful!!!

Absolutely- ask any questions and I’ll try to help
I love this resort! We had a good time there.
Excellent! Thank you so much. We used to stay at the 2500 building then started staying at the 1700 building. I was always curious what the beach looked like in front of the Divi.
It’s pretty nice. We prefer Divi as I like to relax on beach after the bar fills my yeti cup
Great job, thank you for sharing
Your welcome!
Thank you very much. this was very helpful!
@coreyjohnson can you do another one of these videos please! Curious how it looks now etc and trying to pick the building
Have no plans of being back in the next year or two. Sorry they have a great group on Facebook though
Great video, thanks so much
You’re welcome

We are going again on the 21st September, after watching this i cant wait.😎
Awesome! Divi or Tam?
Thanks so much. I was trying to decide and I think Divi is still #1

@@coreyjohnson2007 Thanks for the update. I saw another video from 2 months ago abt this.

Hi can you do the rooms after the pool from the Tam walking up towards the climbing wall.
Cheers
They’re all rocky from the lobby area to the end. Somehow cut that part when editing…
@@coreyjohnson2007 that’s ok thanks for the tour
@@TheDeb45 I just posted the 1100-1400 on the post in the Divi Tam group

Great view of the south side...wish you walked their so-called peasants corner as well "Buildings 11-13".
Me too lol- I’ll redo this video / do another in January 23’
The wind is really bad in Aruba. Is it bad at the Tamarijn?
Nah, I mean, the wife’s hair was perfect everyday, but w that heat, the wind was enjoyable. It’s not going to blow sand in your eyes, but it’s breezy. Perfect
We would like to come with 4 families where the Children rehang in ages fro 2-16. Are there waterspouts such as kayaks, paddle boards or jetskiis available for use or rental close by?
Kayaks and NON motor stuff is available at the Tam. But between tam and Divi is a hut / store that u can do jet ski, parasail, tubing ect
Going in a month. What would be your choice of buildings. Best to worse?
Divi or tam?
Tam has zero beach now after the storms… Divi? I like building 2 - renovated and if you pay for the upgrade view it’s perfect . I’d want building 2, ocean view, building 1, then 3. The casitas didn’t do much for me
Hi great video I’ve booked for the Tam, what block of rooms do you recommend that has the best beach area (no rocks) and shallow water for kids?
The far north end. Catch 22…. Best area of beach, furthest from lobby and bars. Divi has a better beach, tam is walk out… both good. There is a storm down there and the beach has changed a little since this was recorded but likely the north end would be best (first rooms in beginning of video)
The 1400 building beach spot looked like a good spot to be
@@Chris-zx2dz be aware as of 11/2022 (today) almost all of tam’s beach is washed out
@@coreyjohnson2007 thank you usually stay at the high rises but these looked pretty nice so what do you recommend tam looks newer did divi update?
@@Chris-zx2dz ram is great but the beach at the Divi is unmatched . We prefer to spend our time all on the beach, so we like Divi vista 3 and sitting on the beach!
