Holiday Inn Resort Aruba - Beach Resort & Casino by IHG
My room was ocean view but you had to look to the side. I was disappointed about that. Check-in was a problem as well. Had to wait an hour on line to check in and then our room was not ready. Had to sit in lobby until 6:30 for the room to be available.

Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive
All rooms had ocean front views. Due to a storm years ago, very little beach was left. Most rooms had no beach area. Thankfully, ours did.
