Our experience at Passions was fabulous! The food, service, and ambiance was five star all the way! We have eaten at six of the most recommended restaurants in Aruba, and Passions surpassed all of them! The Coconut Grouper was perfect and the sauce complimented it so well! We also loved the crab spring rolls for the appetizer! All of the staff were exceptional! This is a must do lovely dining experience when you go to Aruba!

Waiter was super friendly. Food was good but nothing special. Came off hours so it was oddly quiet. It’s in the downtown touristy area.
