Frommer's Review

If you're a carnivore who dreams of eating roasted meat straight off the spit, Amazonia will make your dreams come true. This is one of several increasingly popular gaucho-style restaurants in Aruba where you can eat unlimited servings of grilled Argentine beef, chicken, and lamb. The setting is rustic-casual with a definite machismo flair -- lots of tanned leather and wood in both the sizeable interior and along the wraparound porch, where you can dine in the warm glow of two Olympic-size torches. The first course is a full-on salad bar complete with soup, sushi, stroganoff, and more. But don't fill up on starters. On your command, a parade of dapper servers show up carrying every imaginable cut of meat stacked on enormous swordlike skewers. They either slide or saw off a chunk for you to sample, and keep returning to deliver new tasty morsels of your favorite cut.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
