Fun Adventure

Such a fun vibe, amazing staff, fun with my 9&11 year olds. I also had my parents who have some mobility trouble and they were able to get in and out to snorkel also! The ladder was amazing for the boat

A hype snorkeling trip!

10/10 highly recommend this snorkeling trip! The waters were beautiful, the crew was hype, and the drinks were even better! Shoutout to Kevin for mixing up the best shots and partying with us! Our group of four would definitely go again.

Our overall experience was terrible this year

We have been going to Aruba 24 years. Over the past 15 years we made Palm Pleasure a yearly excursion as we get so much enjoyment out of if. The host Cesar and crew was always friendly and accommodating but the host and crew were totally different this trip. The music was fun, Bob Marley, Bruno Mars, old school and some newer songs at a comfortable volume. There was something for everyone. This year was different in a horrible way. The sites and food were the same as always but the music was blaring loud and it was all Latin, wrap club music....thump thump if you get the idea. It appealed to only one age and ethnic group. Speakers were everywhere and you could not talk without screaming at the other person. When I asked to lower the volume that didn't happen and I was told the selection of music/ playlist was given to them and they did not have a choice. In the past that wasn't the case so why now? Just awful! There are so many similar cruises that we will definitely look into next year.
