Just returned from Aruba last night and couldn't wait to write a review for Passions (will do for Trip Advisor also) Just as I was about to write the review, I noticed one by a Mr. Kenneth Martin. Not sure if he was mistaking his restaurants perhaps? His review couldn't be further from the reality. Must of been one heck of a bad day for this to happen unless he has another motive for writing this.
We were a group of six adults at the end of our stay. We had already dined at some highly rated places and did not expect the level of every aspect of this experience.
We had been using Eagle Beach during several of the days as a favorite beach to Sun&Swim (we visited three other beaches as well). We would see staff setting up every afternoon right beside us and thought there was a beach wedding setting up. It occurred to us on the second last day that they were serving to the public and we checked the menu. Like most good places in Aruba, the prices are somewhat higher than we were accustomed to back home, so we thought that this place, although unimpressed at first, was over priced.
From the time we arrived later that evening to the moment we left, the experience far surpassed our initial expectations. With several servers waiting on us, we were treated to a food experience that rivalled some of the island's best locations. Our server, Kaylee, was patient with us as we inquired and decided on menu items and eventually participated in group photos. A student from the Hague, she explained how she came about this position as part of her Hotel and Restaurant Management Education along with other fellow students.
Needless to say, our group was thoroughly satisfied and would recommend this to anyone.
