Breakfast is available daily from 7:00 - 11:00 AM at the Palms Beachside Grill or Rehydrate and recharge to start your day with a smoothie from Kadushi Juice Bar, which opens at 8:00 AM.

    Today is all yours to enjoy all that the Hyatt has to offer! Explore all the resort has to offer Services and Amenities or lay back and relax at one of the pools or white sandy beaches that Aruba offers!

    Enjoy premium outdoor experiences at either of our pools or at the beautiful white sandy beach located just in front of the resort. Race down the water slide on your way to the swim up bar and grill, or jump into a pool volleyball match at the Activity Pool located in the main courtyard, or quietly relax all day at the Trankilo adults-only pool located on the north side of the resort. Food and beverage service is available at both locations and private cabanas are available to book at both pools.

    Pool Chair/Beach Huts

    Your Beach and Pool Experience is the key to an enjoying relaxing vacation while here on 'One Happy Island'. Here are a few tips to remember all of Aruba's Beaches are Public, for that reason they require all Hyatt guests to register at the Towel Hut located just across the beach path as you exit the pool to ensure that all huts are for Hyatt guests exclusively!

    Pool chairs and most of the Beach Huts are on a first come first service basis except for a select few that they make available for rental.  Pool and Beach are in high demand so they have listed three easy options to help you along the way, you must be seated in your selected hut by no later than 10:00 am or they will assign that hut or umbrella to a waiting guest.

    • Option #1: To reserve your beach hut rental for a fee up to a year in advance, sign up at hyattbeachservices.com. This service is for Hyatt registered guest only, so a room confirmation is required during sign up.  (Please contact us at Info@ExecutiveGroupTravel.com if you need a reservation number).
    • Option #2: For our first come first serve Beach and Pool Services; each day at 4:00 pm you will be able to go in and select an available hut for the next day. Simply go to hyattbeachservices.com from your mobile device and reserve your selected relaxing spot at your fingertips.
    • Option #3: 7:30 am each morning the towel hut opens for business! For those who want one of our complimentary, prime location huts, there may be a line, so please be prepared. Complimentary huts are assigned on a first come first serve basis and as you may guess the huts closest to the water will go first.

    Don't forget to stop by the towel hut to check-in and occupy your shade location before 10:00 am, and one of their friendly beach ambassadors will escort you to your own shade location.

    12:00-5:00pm - Applause Cabana Day! Feel free to stop by between 12 and 5 to grab a drink and connect with your co-workers. This is not required, just a great location to find the group! The Cabanas are located at the Adults Only pool.

     

    7:00 - 9:30 pm - Farewell Celebration Dinner. Join us for dinner and drinks at Bohemian Bar & Restaurant to celebrate all of your accomplishments in 2024! The restaurant is located a short 5 minute walk from the resort. Please meet in the lobby by 6:45 PM if you'd like to walk with the group. If you plan to meet the group there, exit the hotel's front lobby door, take a right once you exit the property and Bohemian will be up on your left hand side.
