From the moment you are greeted with a complimentary glass of Bubbles until you leave for the night, you are made to feel special. The staff are very kind and friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu and wines to pair with the food. The feel of the sand between your toes as you dine on your delicious meal is such an experience. My wife and I were celebrating her birthday and they had the sax player come over and play "Happy Birthday" to her, such a nice touch. We had the Ahi Tuna Cocktail to start and it was absolutely delicious. Main course of Blackened Mahi Mahi and the Treasure of the Sea Platter. Both were prepared to perfection! The waitress then surprized us with a complimentary dessert with a Happy Birthday message on it. Another lovely touch, again showing how much they do to make your evening a delight. The sunset, of course, is another beautiful sight to take in as you dine. You aren't rushed in any way. For all these reasons we give Passion on the Beach a 10 out of 10!

I researched sunset dinners a lot because I wanted it to be special for our 45th anniversary. Champagne in hand & toes in sand from the get go while we watched the sunset being painted and the tiki torches being lit!! Nice menu, food was great as were the servers! If you are looking for a beautiful sunset dining experience, Passions on the Beach delivers that & more❤️

Amazing experience, super romantic, took my girlfriend to dinner at 8pm so it was night time. Fires lit, ambiance amazing, food was amazing I ordered the shrimp and salmon pasta, and my girlfriend ordered the Calypso shrimp. Super friendly staff, great service. Waves crashing while a fire is lit right in front of the water, live music at night, not loud but mood setting. Perfect. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for a place to have a special moment or want that unique dining experience then this is where you want to go. The tables are located on the beach so you can put your feet right in the sand. You can watch the Aruba sunset right at your table. The food was amazing and worth the price.

I can't say enough good things about this place. From the friendly hostess who checked us in when we arrived, and got us a cab when we were done. Our waitress who was very attentive and always there when we needed something. The food was incredible and the ambiance of the setting, the sunset, and the torch lighting made this an experience that we will never forget. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Enjoyed a fabulous Anniversary dinner. Table was positioned approximately 30-40 feet from the water. Ambiance was enhanced by torches placed next to each table. Food was great and staff was even better. They complimented each other working together seamlessly to make sure we received the best service. Highly recommend you research sunset times to ensure a truly memorable experience. A violinist provided soft music throughout our dining which added to the overall ambiance.

We had our anniversary dinner at passions and the food was amazing with 5 star service from the time we walked in to a complimentary glass of champagne till it ended with a special dessert! The sunset was amazing we got there a half hour before the sunset to give plenty of time to take it in . They take plenty of pictures for you’re memories. Our server was Jeny and I can’t say enough of good things about her. Thank you for an amazing experience😍🌴

Passions on the Beach was a pleasant experience. I dined alone by choice as I was on a solo trip to Aruba for my birthday. I was greeted with their traditional welcome champagne and led to my beach side table by my server for the evening, Jeny. Jeny was amazing. She was kind, always smiling, and extremely attentive. She took the time to explain the menu and cocktail options, as well as offered recommendations. She knew it was my birthday and prior to me leaving, she suprised me with a delicious birthday dessert all while the guest musician for the night played the Happy Birthday tune. That was special to me. The views, service and food at Passions was unforgettable and highly recommended. Thank you for a memorable birthday.
