Casa Del Mar Beach Resort

The resort and its setting

Casa Del Mar Beach Resort is a beachfront property on J.E. Irausquin Boulevard in Oranjestad, part of the Bluegreen Vacations portfolio (now under Hilton Grand Vacations). Google reviewers rate it 4.5 out of 5 across more than 1,000 reviews, with the official editorial summary describing it as a beachfront resort with outdoor pools, hot tubs, kids' play areas and suites on the more polished end of the scale. For families or couples wanting direct beach access plus pool time without leaving the property, it's a straightforward, well-reviewed choice on one of Aruba's main hotel strips.

The area and things to do

Oranjestad is Aruba's capital, and J.E. Irausquin Blvd runs along the island's low-rise and high-rise hotel corridor on the west coast — the stretch known for calm, white-sand beaches and warm, swimmable water year-round. Guests typically split their time between the resort's own pools and the beach out front, with the option to walk or take a short taxi ride into Oranjestad for duty-free shopping, local restaurants and the waterfront. Aruba's dry, sunny climate and position outside the hurricane belt make it a dependable choice for a beach week almost any month, though the busiest, priciest stretch runs over the winter high season.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Casa Del Mar Beach Resort and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a private resale and rental marketplace: you list the week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to get the week in front of buyers.

Before listing, it's worth knowing the brand-specific details that come with a Bluegreen-affiliated resort. According to Bluegreen Vacations, a resale transfer carries a fee of around $500, and Bluegreen holds a right of first refusal on resales, meaning the brand can step in and match a sale before it completes. Transfers typically take 30 to 90 days to process once a buyer is confirmed. It's also important for buyers to understand that resale purchases come with some restrictions: resale owners can use Bonus Time only at their home resort, and they don't receive Premier status. This resort's week is part of the RCI exchange network, which resale buyers should be able to retain access to — worth confirming as part of the transfer paperwork.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for confirmed dates, unit size and occupancy, and proximity to the beach — all details worth spelling out clearly in a listing, along with whether the week is fixed or floating.

Practical notes for owners and buyers

Anyone buying or selling a week here should factor in the resale transfer fee and the 30–90 day transfer window when planning a closing date, and should ask the seller or Bluegreen directly about the current annual maintenance fee, since that figure isn't fixed and changes over time. Buyers coming from outside the Bluegreen system should also confirm in writing what status and exchange privileges transfer with a resale purchase before agreeing on a price, given the Bonus Time and Premier status restrictions noted above.
