Aruba VS Sandals St. Lucia???
What do you all think??
I am looking for an all inclusive. And I was told by some that Aruba has great places to eat and is Beautiful. The weather is also perfect. But it would not pay to do an all inclusive.
But I was also told that St. Lucia (Sandals) is great. Its all inclusive. But I would have to worry about the weather...
DECISIONS!!!!!
Your input would be great 
Thanks,
Andrea

Re: Aruba VS Sandals St. Lucia???
We are going to sandals St. Lucia..we thought about Aruba but heard that it is VERY windy and there is more to do in St. Lucia. The weather issue depends what time of the year you are going..I believe that St. Lucia is out of the hurricane belt.

Re: Aruba VS Sandals St. Lucia???
I went to Sandals St. Lucia for my honeymoon and loved it. I am heading to Aruba on Monday, so I will let you know what is better. I've also heard not to do all inclusive for Aruba, there are too many great restaurants. Honestly, after a wedding it was nice not to think about money and an all inclusive was perfect for that.

Re: Aruba VS Sandals St. Lucia???
I was set on Sandals St Lucia but I did some research and it turns out that the rainy season starts in June and I would be crushed if it rained on my HM so I looked into Aruba and they get 20" of rain a year! Its practically a desert! 
I have heard great things about the Divi All Inclusive resort if you dont want to worry about paying extra for anything and I think the Hyatt has an all-inclusive plan too. I fell in love with a small resort called the Bucuti and it has a meal plan.

Re: Aruba VS Sandals St. Lucia???
I've never been to either, but am going to St. Lucia for my HM. I've heard that Aruba is very windy, but it rains much less. I think it depends on the time of year you want to go because St. Lucia has a rainy season. I think its June thru Sep or Oct.
