Paradera Hotel Guide. Hotels in Piedra Plat, Paradera, Aruba

"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. "

"Nice and clean "

"We were so impressed with the hotel. Tatiana at the Steakhouse and Milano restaurant was the best. She was very welcoming. The entire staff was welcoming and friendly."

"Beautiful beach with palm trees and palapas. Although you can only get a palapa if you go down there at 6am. Room was very nice. Disappointed with food. 6 day stay - only ate 1 breakfest 1 dinner 1 lunch at the property. Drinks were served in very small cups, assuming they want you to make more trips to bar so you tip more. "

"First the good parts: the hotel staff was excellent, as was our room and the two pools. Everyone was attentive and friendly at all times. We would not return, partly due to personal taste and partly due to issues with the hotel itself. First, the neighborhood is loud and busy; not bad in and of itself, but not what we were looking for. If you're in search of a chill vibe, this is not your place. Beach access from this hotel is very poor. It's a long walk to the hotel's reserved area, and when you get there it's entirely too small and inadequate. We were told you need to be lined up at 8am to have a chance at an umbrella, and that's far too much "work" when I'm on vacation. Secondly, the cocktails and food at both pools were abysmal. It was our first time in Aruba so a bit of a learning experience. We will definitely return, it's lovely, but will stay somewhere elses."

"Everyone was very pleasant and transportation was easily obtained"

"Clean room friendly staff great outdoor pool great breakfast "

"I had a great stay! The room was very clean and well-maintained, which made it comfortable and relaxing. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely come back again."
