It's an adults-only hotel.

The Wyndham brand is now officially back in Aruba, following the transformation of the former Brickell Bay Beach Resort into what is now the Trap by Wyndham Aruba. 

The adults-only hotel has just under 100 rooms, with amenities ranging from a pool with a swim-up bar to beach service to a shuttle that takes you around the always-bustling neighborhood.  

It’s set in the heart of the Dutch Caribbean island’s High-Rise Hotel District, just across LG Smith Boulevard from the sands of Palm Beach. 

What about prices? You can find rooms starting at $409 per night, according to the Wyndham website. 

On Google Hotels, you can find rates for as low as $348 right now.

It’s been almost two decades since the Wyndham brand was in Aruba, following the sale of the then-Wyndham Aruba back in 2006. 

Aruba has a small but growing number of adults-only hotels, including the Boardwalk Boutique Hotel (which we loved on our recent stay) and the Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort.
