PALM BEACH — Aruba’s high season at the Playa Linda Beach Resort remains a joyful time of year, with members, guests and employees having shared in various celebrations through the holidays and into the New Year. Among the highlights were year-end awards that brought renewed focus to the extraordinary talent of the employees who are major players in the delivery of unforgettable vacation experiences. A total of six separate award categories helped honor the ‘best of the best’.
With Resort guests also in attendance, General Manager Peter van Grinsven and Operations Director Sulaika Kelly led the outdoor celebration under the Resort’s Royal Palapa, and expressed appreciation for all the Resort’s employees whose tremendous efforts have resulted in Playa Linda’s stellar reputation. Playa Linda Beach Resort is one of friendliest resort destinations in Aruba, where members and guests are always welcomed as part of the Playa Linda family.
The Resort’s highest honors went to the Manager of the Year Justin Mohamed, Employee of the Year Renzo Carlet, Star of the Year Andre de Mey, Rookie of the Year Joally Ras and Contractor of the Year Emiro Sanchez. Each exemplifies the highest degree of professionalism as well as a talent for always offering his or her best to colleagues as well as the Resort’s members and guests. Department of the Year honors went to the Grounds Department, which comes as no surprise with guests frequently commenting upon the beauty of Playa Linda’s resort environment, immaculate pool deck and well-maintained beachside location, right on Palm Beach.
The most often cited factor of Playa Linda Beach Resort’s prized vacation experience, however, remains the high level of guest care offered by its dedicated team of hospitality professionals. The popular, Palm Beach-based timeshare marked a banner year last year and is already off to a fantastic start for a similarly successful 2025.
Playa Linda Beach Resort Aruba sits beachside on world famous Palm Beach, and at the center of the island’s best selection of dining, shopping and activity options. It features 217 spacious suites – with twelve different suite categories, each with fully-equipped kitchens – and offers resort amenities including on-property laundry facilities, two pools, two Jacuzzis, concierge services, daily activity program and varied dining and shopping options. This intimate, community-centered resort creates an opportunity for memorable vacation experiences and is often why the best day in Aruba starts at the Playa Linda.
