We’ve been staying at the Holiday Inn for almost 20 years. I sure hope it doesn’t close. It’s our happy place.
My husband & I have been going to Aruba since 1987. We started taking our kids since they were babies( now 28&33) . We celebrated so many holidays & birthdays at holiday in. It’s our happy place& our home away from home. We love everything about it. The location, beach to pool, outdoor eating& most importantly the staff throughout the years. We have had only a few minor complaints along the way. If it indeed closes it will be a loss for our family who has made some very memorable memories throughout the years.
