Westin Palm Beach, Aruba
My husband and I just held our wedding on the Island on 7/6/13 and we had an amazing time. We had 30 guests join us and the service was impeccable! We were in communication with Eliana Fun basically every day for a year and a half planning our special day and she was absolutely amazing. Her last name being Fun should tell it all! She was very attentive to my every detail that incorporated into my emails. I am a very organized/timely/hands on person so I appreciated her getting back to me asap, no complaints on the service she provided us. I would normally not feel comfortable not being in charge of everything but I couldn't have asked for a better person to be in charge of my wedding. If you are having second thoughts about having a destination wedding your second thoughts will be blown out of the water the moment you email, talk on the phone, and meet Eliana in person. We were not able to meet her until October and we started our planning together in March. My husband and I had never been on the island and meeting a familiar person (that we met through email) was also an amazing experience. She is very knowledgeable of all things/places Aruba and gave us pointers of what we should do on our short 1st visit to Aruba.
Once we arrive at the Westin for our wedding we were immediately welcomed with open arms by the concierge. They were amazing and knew our name the moment we walked up to them. We continuously visited them to check on our guests arrival and they were more than happy to help us. We even put them in charge of handing our welcome notes I hand wrote for all of our guests.
Our room was upgraded and we received a suite on 12th floor with two balconies that had two ocean views! When we walked into the room Eliana had a bottle of champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, and two swans made out of towels waiting for us. How romantic! Our room was beautiful very much upgraded and was spotless at all times. The room doors were a bit heavy to open but that's not a big deal.
Free coffee and tea was available every morning. We had free wi-fi but unfortunately it didn't work. Grounds are well maintained. We were given 2 free palapa's for the entirety of our stay. Service, view and food were outstanding! I highly recommend it! Loved our house keepers. They took such good care of us. One even held our 3month old son, he loved her! House keepers were attentive to the different times you woke up every morning. They would even come by a second time during the day to make sure we didn't need anything extra in the middle of the day.
A very short walk to the best bar/nightclub in town Gusto I truly recommend it!
The day of our wedding was all we could have asked for and soooo much more. Our wedding coordinator Eliana had everything done in a timely fashion. All of the vendors she provided us with were amazing and created the exact replica of all of the pictures I had sent over to Eliana through email. Eliana also booked a Kukoo Kunuku party bus tour for our guest to enjoy after the wedding and we all had so much fun on the bus.
