Best Family Resorts in Palm Beach
This page is about Palm Beach, Aruba: the walkable high-rise strip on the island's calm west coast. It is not Palm Beach, Florida. Our island-wide ranking at /answers/best-family-resorts-in/aruba compares nine stays across Palm Beach and Eagle Beach, including the Hyatt Regency, Marriott Surf Club, and Hilton towers that share this same sand. This page keeps to the three stays our catalog files under Palm Beach itself, ranked by FamilyFactor, with the strip-level tradeoffs between them.
This page ranks Palm Beach, Aruba, the walkable high-rise resort strip. It is not Palm Beach, Florida. Three catalog stays sit on this strip. Playa Linda Beach Resort leads at FamilyFactor 82 because its units run from a studio sleeping four to a townhome sleeping eight, all with full kitchens. Divi Aruba Phoenix Beach Resort (80) pairs a kitchen in every suite with the Little Explorers kids club for ages 4 to 12. Barceló Aruba (78) is the strip's one true all-inclusive, with a booking catch worth reading before you pay.

Playa Linda Beach Resort
Resort · Roughly $250 to $1,050/night by unit size and season
Kids' club
Kids Club for ages 4 to 12, Monday through Saturday: arts and crafts, games, and beach scavenger hunts
Family room fit
The widest unit range on this strip: Studio Suite up to Two-Bedroom Townhome, sleeping 4 to 8. Every unit has a full kitchen and private terrace; ground-floor units add a private garden with BBQ (room fit 90)
The big-family pick on Palm Beach. One townhome keeps grandparents, parents, and kids in a single unit with real doors between sleeping areas, where comparable space at the branded towers means booking two or three rooms. Location scores 90 because the resort sits directly on the strip, and the renovated free-form pool has a separate children's pool beside it.
Worth knowing: It is a timeshare property. Non-owners book it routinely through standard travel sites, but rates swing from about $250 to $1,050/night depending on unit and season, so pricing varies more than at a standard hotel. Parent recovery scores 74, the softest mark of these three picks.
Divi Aruba Phoenix Beach Resort
Resort · $$$ all-suite, priced below the big towers because food is not bundled
Kids' club
Divi Little Explorers kids club for ages 4 to 12
Family room fit
Every unit from Studio Suite to Three-Bedroom Suite has a full kitchen, the strongest room fit on this strip at 92
The kitchen-plus-kids-club combination no other Palm Beach property matches at this price. Room fit scores 92, safety 90, and the resort backs onto a private wildlife sanctuary kids can walk through. The pool deck has a dedicated children's section plus a swim-up bar for the adults watching from the water.
Worth knowing: Not an all-inclusive: meals are a la carte or an optional plan, never bundled into the room rate. Kid amenities score 68 overall, so the club is real but modest next to a full-scale camp program. Parent recovery also lands at 68, the joint-lowest of these three picks.
Barceló Aruba
All-inclusive · From roughly $512/night all-inclusive standard rooms
Kids' club
Kids Club for ages 4 to 12, 9am to 5pm, included in the all-inclusive rate
Family room fit
Deluxe Rooms and Junior Suites sleep 4, all with private balconies. No kitchens and no multi-bedroom suites (room fit 68)
The one true all-inclusive on this strip, and budget certainty is the product: all meals and drinks across six restaurants land on one bill, which on an island where most resorts charge food separately is real planning security. Kids Club hours run 9am to 5pm, and parent recovery scores 85, the best of these three picks.
Worth knowing: Book deliberately. The top three floors of the North Tower are an adults-only Premium Level, a separate booking category, and a family that clicks the wrong rate ends up walled off from the kids club side of the resort. Room fit scores 68, the weakest here: standard rooms, no suites, no kitchens.

Frequently asked
Is this Palm Beach in Aruba or Palm Beach, Florida?
Aruba. This page ranks the three family stays our catalog files under Palm Beach, Aruba: Playa Linda Beach Resort (FamilyFactor 82), Divi Aruba Phoenix Beach Resort (80), and Barceló Aruba (78). Palm Beach is Aruba's high-rise resort strip on the calm west coast, with walkable dining and swimmable water right off the sand. If you searched for Palm Beach, Florida family resorts, our Florida ranking at /answers/best-family-resorts-in-florida is the page that matches that intent.
Which Palm Beach resort fits a family of six or more?
Playa Linda Beach Resort goes biggest: its Two-Bedroom Townhome category sleeps eight, with a full kitchen and a private terrace, so a family of six keeps one unit and one bill. Divi Aruba Phoenix Beach Resort is the backup at up to a Three-Bedroom Suite, also with a full kitchen. Barceló Aruba tops out at rooms sleeping four, so a family of five or more there means booking a second room, and the all-inclusive rate doubles with it.
Is there an all-inclusive on Palm Beach, Aruba?
Yes, exactly one on this strip: Barceló Aruba, a 373-room all-inclusive with a Kids Club for ages 4 to 12 included in the rate, six restaurants, and non-motorized water sports. Rates start from roughly $512/night for standard rooms. The catch is structural: the top three floors of the North Tower are the adults-only Premium Level, sold as a separate category, so confirm the booking says a standard room before paying.
Palm Beach or Eagle Beach for an Aruba family trip?
Palm Beach is the walkable choice: high-rise resorts, a restaurant row, and calm water in a controlled resort strip. Eagle Beach is wider, lower-rise, and quieter, a short drive from the Palm Beach dining. Our catalog puts La Cabana Beach Resort (83) on Eagle Beach and Tamarijn Aruba (75) on Druif Beach, where kids 12 and under stay, play, and eat free. Both of those, plus the Hyatt Regency and Marriott Surf Club on this same strip, are ranked in our island-wide Aruba answer at /answers/best-family-resorts-in/aruba.
Is this page the Aruba ranking?
No. The island-wide ranking stays at /answers/best-family-resorts-in/aruba, and the pool-amenity view stays at /answers/kid-friendly-hotels-with-pool/aruba. This page covers only the three stays filed under Palm Beach in our catalog, and it exists because the /answers/best-family-resorts-in/palm-beach URL was a confirmed 404 while search demand treated Palm Beach as a destination name of its own.
