Aruba tan is an exceptionally clean facility . Dawn and her staff are very outgoing and share their knowledge of their products with such detail so you can get the tan you desire . I highly recommend Aruba tan as your go to for your tanning experience. I do not write reviews but felt compelled to as they go above and beyond . After tanning there I certainly feel as though i went on a well deserved vacation. Dawn and her staff make aruba tan an experience not just a tanning salon

The woman (I think owner) was so polite, answered all my many questions since I've never gone tanning. She explained all that she could and didn't get impatient or try to rush me. Just her overall kindness and willingness to help was such a pleasant surprise. Because of her, I will be going there for my first ever tan. Business owners should take notice of how this lady treats clients, customers, and others from this very upbeat, pleasant, polite, and enthusiastic employee (owner). Owners should strive to hire more people like her. She would be an asset for any business to hire and train new employees on what they should do when speaking or meeting any customers or whomever they speak to. First impressions are lasting impressions and the most important position when dealing with the public. If I were her boss, I absolutely would make sure to pay these employees well and make sure they are happy doing what they like doing. She should be given a supervisory role, including training and managing new staff. Congrats to this company and lady for being great role models for others to see and for Aruba Tan for hiring wonderful employees! I look forward to seeing you soon.

I cannot say enough about the amazing staff at Aruba Tan. Dawn, Roberta and Tina are extremely helpful, friendly and personable! The beds are top notch and the salon is pristene! It's a great relaxing vibe. In all honesty, it doesn't get better than this.

Everything is brand new! The beds are awesome, the floors, doors and super cute decor are all new too!
After my second visit the staff already knew my name! Each visit they ask how the last session was, to help decide the next session’s duration. I started as Casper -literally ghost white and new to tanning beds. I decided to trust them and just do what they say. It’s been almost 2 months now and my tan is setting in. I never once felt burned or uncomfortable. Their progression advice is 100% spot on.
Pricing may be higher than you’re expecting. But you will absolutely get the value and tan you want with great customer service (a dying art). 10/10 recommend.

Very clean, new beds, the staff is super nice and welcoming and very helpful! It’s so nice to have a tanning salon in our town again!!!!

The only negative is the beds are sooooo cold! I got warned about this prior from a friend so It was expected, but still shocking every time! I miss getting into warm beds!

The pros outweigh the con and i would definitely recommend going here! I just purchased another month and will continue to support a local tanning salon! Wishing them the best!!

I 1000% support Aruba Tans! Dawn and her staff are super personable! They know you by name, will stay and chat with you and get to learn you as a member of their extended family. As a small family business they truly care about their clients and don’t see you as just a number or some contract to lock you into like those other corporate companies! The facility is super clean and very well maintained. They are knowledgeable about the true science of tanning and care about your results AND safety! They make sound recommendations for tanning times and necessary products to maximize your time and $$. For those who are uneducated or new to indoor tanning, ALWAYS USE A QUALITY LOTION FROM A SALON! Online products are NOT the same and oils should NEVER be used inside as it actually damages the acrylic on the bed!! You MUST use a verified tanning lotion, keep your skin hydrated and rely on the product to boost that natural melanin production in your skin. Lastly, always remember that everyone’s skin is different. If they tell you that you can’t tan max time, IT’S FOR YOUR SAFETY!! They know what they are doing and I for one will always value a business who cares about their people and their wellbeing more than the sale!

OMG.... This place is awesome!!! I don't know where to begin! The owner and the staff are wonderful people... and very personable. Everything iin the place is so bright and clean. And comfortable (I almost fell asleep). I could probably write a novel and go on and on but I won't. I just have to say that this place is a first class facility....
