We're spending a few days on Aruba after a week on Bonaire in June. One of the recommended accommodations was Aruba Beach Club. We like the location, but some things give us pause:
* They are currently "renovating" their facilities
* They want 100% deposit up front
* They have no cancellation options - once they have your money, they keep it regardless of circumstances
Obviously we don't anticipate any problems but "pay up front, no refunds" seems pretty draconian. We can stay at one of the many Marriott properties and cancel up to 24 hours before arrival with no penalty. I'd much rather support a local operation but that's a steep risk to incur.
Anyone here stayed at ABC? Good or bad? Worth the no-refund risk? Better alternatives to suggest?
Thanks!
