Wonderful property. Excellent breakfast, restaurants. Good service throughout stay. Lots of seating at pool available. Great location and beach area. Only negative is pools aren’t heated.
My niece stayed at Joia in March 2026 and it did not disappoint. We were greeted with wash clothes to wipe our hands and was then given a yummy drink that had ginger in it. The lobby was beautiful. Kayla was warm and inviting when she checked us in. She told us, we were upgraded to a swim up room due to my Expedia status. The bellman was so nice that escorted us to our room. He explained all the room's features. The room was really high-tech. You didn't have to put out a sign that said you needed housekeeping. It was a button that you would push that you either needed housekeeping or you didn't need to be disturbed. The experience was 5 stars from check in, room service, the three restaurants, infinity pool and the bars. Berny was the lobby bartender and he was the greatest. I asked for a dirty dirty martini and it was filthy. Thanks Berny your service was impeccable!! I have only good things to say about this resort. I would unequivocally without a shadow of a doubt recommend this resort. It was gorgeous. The staff was beautiful. It was clean the restaurants served good food and the alcohol was definitely a step above other places that I have stayed. I can definitely see myself returning to this resort. The island is just so gorgeous. During the time we were there it was beautiful 80° weather with no humidity.

Rather mixed experience for our stay. Restaurants had delicious food and great live music every night, but service was hit or miss. Several problems with our stay - we had a $600 resort credit, which the property only honored $25 of at checkout, there were never enough chairs and umbrellas at the beach, several umbrellas and covers at the pool were groped so they wouldn’t stay up, and the pools and jacuzzis were completely unheated so too cold to enjoy. These problems might have been tolerable and a more reasonable price point, but give the lack of value for the room rate, we won’t be staying at this property again.
New to the Island and overall I cannot say enough wonderful things! Staff and cuisine A++. They had some things to fix bathroom doors askew/out of square, toilet paper holders off the walls, check in was awful!!!!, touch up paint on all doors. Overall I loved our stay. Go see Francys at Marea, Camilo and Luis at the pool bar, and Diana at Zima- they made it all worth it!
The hotel is beautiful and the pools are great. Limited beach chairs and they are gone by 740 am. Food options appear to be limited and not too many snack areas. The food that we did eat on the resort was average resort food and highly recommend experiencing local food. Loved the room and the amenities.
The resort is new and beautiful, and for the most part the service is good. However, in my opinion it is overpriced and heavily boosted by social media hype.
At a so-called luxury resort, details matter, and this property falls short in some areas.
We noticed some workmanship was not great, but what shocked me most was the tile selection throughout the resort. The tiles around the pool, walkways, and stairs are very smooth and extremely slippery. People were slipping frequently, and I had to catch my balance several times. It feels like an accident waiting to happen.
Restaurant service was great, but the food was mixed. The breakfast buffet at Bucatini was excellent, and Marea was good. Gaia was disappointing—the food was inconsistent and often overcooked. The lamb orecchiette was inedible, and I would recommend avoiding the pasta and rice dishes.
The worst part of our stay was the beach experience. On the same day our lounge chairs were taken away twice while we went for breakfast and lunch, even though our towels were on them and we told the beach attendant we would be back.
When we spoke to the manager, instead of apologizing she said chairs could be taken after 45 minutes, a rule that was never communicated and posted nowhere. For a resort that calls itself luxury, this policy and the way it was handled were very disappointing.
Overall, the resort has potential, but the lack of attention to detail and poor handling of guest issues left a bad impression.
The staff was very attentive. The pools were amazing. We really enjoyed the food and drinks at the hotel. The location is perfect. It is right across the road from the beach. There are a lot of great restaurants within walking distance and at the hotel. We will definitely stay there again!
When we come to Aruba we usually stay Marriott. This time we decided to try Joia. It’s a new hotel. But that’s where the good things stopped. If you come to the beach too early no umbrellas or chairs are put out. Usually they’re starting to do that after 8-8:30 am. Also, if you didn’t come early enough the staff puts towels on the chairs claiming it’s for members only. So if that’s the case it should be advertised as such hotel. For members of some club only. Apparently if you paid $1,000.00 per night it’s not good enough for staff to accommodate you at the beach.
The waitress service at the beach is the worst. They’re just doesn’t want to work. Staying most of the day under the trees. If by any miracle you see waiter passing by you better make sure he takes your order or you would have to wait forever for him to come again.
Rooms are new and clean. However, it may take cleaning crew to clean your room whole day. Lots of people complained that rooms were cleaned way after 4 pm.
Also, if you have reservations outside the hotel leave extra time for the taxi. It’s not easy to get taxi at this place.
But more importantly, check your final bill carefully. We had quite a few charges that wasn’t ours.
Truthfully, I wouldn’t go back there again.
We had a beautiful room with a pool and ocean view. The hotel was immaculate and the staff was friendly and eager to help.
The only complaint would be that the tile around the pool was sometimes slippery. My brother in law fell and my friend had a near miss.
Other than that it was a great stay!
The property is beautiful. While it’s a new property the paint colors will need constant touching up in the hallways as the walls are very light in color. The pools are great but the hot tub is not very hot.
Lots of employees but seemed they were undertrained or in the wrong places and learning on the job
Not like a 5 star hotel service in the rest of the world
FACILITES were spotless, breakfast buffet was excellent, staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, pool amenities and chairs had excellent options, easy beach access with the most beautiful spot, and deep tissue massage was great. One star deducted because only 2 restaurants open at any time, entertainment could use an upgrade, our room overlooked a street and parking lot (even though it was an ocean view suite), and it was loud and unfinished in the spa.
Beautiful hotel with direct access to Eagle Beach. Several great restaurants on site. Rooms are spacious, modern and well designed. There are several large pools, including an infinity pool. Beach lounger availability was hit or miss but poolside loungers were generally available. The beach was not at all crowded. This hotel is located a bit away from the busy area with some of the other big hotels but that didn't really detract anything from our experience. The are still some nice restaurants nearby and the hotel itself definitely has some nice restaurant options. Great experience overall.
The staff is amazing! Property is only a year old so everything is beautiful. Breakfast buffet is staffed by some amazing people and the selection of food is great. The walk to the beach across the road is seamless and the beach chair attendants are so helpful. Beach is beautiful and sandy beach chairs and pool chairs are so comfortable!! Only negative is the music at the rooftop bar Zima is to loud and goes until 10 pm or later sometimes. The valet staff was so wonderful and accommodating! Property is right on the walking trail which is great for getting to and from places to eat and see! Our overall experience was fantastic!
Our room was lovely and spacious. Staff was VERY attentive and VERY friendly! Would definitely return and recommend this resort! Multiple pools and tons of ammenities. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Just a fabulous vacation!!
