Passions on the Beach

Our party of 4 dined at Passions for the first time and went with the Special Swordfish, Grouper Filet and the Duet of Tuna and Shrimp. Everyone was pleased with their entrees alond with the soup of the day and the Caribbean Crab Salad. We dined at sundown which added to the evening. The waitstaff was very accomodating while letting you totally relax. The music complements the atmosphere perfectly. It was so pleasurable, my wife and I returned the next night to try some dishes that we were torn on the night before. The second night was equal in every regard.

This is an amazing resteraunt that my wife and I enjoyed so much that we left another un-named resteraunt on our last night of the trip to go back one more time. The setting is beautifull and the food is wonderfull. Staff is welcoming and accomodating. If you like food and want to experiance the best resteraunts on the island this is a can't miss stop.

We had a wonderful time at this restaurant! The food was outstanding, the music was great, and of course the scenery was the key!
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, especially for the romance and the total enjoyment.

Great atmosphere. Right next to the ocean. Arrive before dark so you can acclimate yourself. I had the filet firenza, which was very good. Wife's fish was cold by the time it arrived. We had a very tough time getting wine delivered to the table. Waitress was trying to do well, but clearly neither her nor wait staff at other tables were trained well. A customer shouldn't have to wait 20 minutes to get wine, and shouldn't have to search for their wait staff. Nevertheless, it is a nice place. We may have simply hit them on a bad nite.

Wow, what a truly wonderful experience. My husband and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary at Passions at sunset on the beach. The atmosphere was perfect, the food was incredible and the serice was wonderful. What could more could one ask for when your toes are in teh sand next to the one you love! I would recommend this experience to anyone who comes to Aruba!

We went to Passions twice. Had booked for Gwyn's birthday and were so impressed that we returned for my 50th a week later. Wonderful setting on the white sandy beach. Gorgeous food and staff that could not be faulted in their attentive service. We both celebrated with a luscious dessert, complete with a candle (resembling a huge stick of dynamite!!) Amazed at the wonderful dishes that could be produced from a small shack on the beach. Even the loo was the cleanest portaloo in history!! Will definitely be returning one day in the future.

We celebrated our anniversary at Passions on October 2nd. This was our first time here and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The food and service were wonderful and our table was so romantic. We did not want to dine early so we did not see the sunset but it didn't matter - very romantic with a light breeze. I had the Grouper and it was excellent and my husband had a chef's special of 3 different seafood selections. Our waiter was excellent and could not do enough for us. Drinks were prepared as we like them and we were given a special desert for our celebration. This will be our new Anniversary tradition!

Great food and romance as you're watching the sunset from your beachfront table - who could ask for anything better? We both had shrimp dishes (spicy shrimp and the shrimp with a mango chutney - both were great!) Service was there when we needed them (usually for more wine) and the added music, sunset, and your toes in the sand made for a perfect dinner.

Mehhh.... The food was ok, we've had better so far on our honeymoon. Yemanja & Driftwood have much better seafood & wine lists. The plus is front row seats to an amazing Aruba sunset.

Beatutiful tables located directly on the beach. The service was good. Ordered seafood chowder and two shrimp entrees. One entree included curry, which was not specified on the printed menu. Food was good, not great. The desert trio special, was key lime pie, a tiramasu and berry layered "cake" which were both geletin-like...none were good.
