The prices you posted are pretty much the norm, you will see the prices fluctuate withing approx. $200 or so.
Also, call another travel agent just to see what they give you, it can't hurt.

Re: Aruba Honeymoon - Is this a good price?

jodi, maybe the pricing is something you were looking for using the meal plan?
If you do the meal plan just promise to to eat at the flying fishbone at least

ok?

Also on Sundays in Aruba most places are closed so we either eat at the hotel or pizza downtown.

Re: Aruba Honeymoon - Is this a good price?

OK, here is a 3rd quote:

6 nights in the Hotel that I wanted with a ocean view room and balcony. Buffet breakfast every morning. It is a honeymoon package with champagne upon arrival, 1/2 hr. massages for 2, bathrobes, sunset cruise for 2, private candlelight dinner at a restaurant with a bottle of wine. Airfare, transfers, tax & gratuities are all included. The price is $2,100 per person. We are also going to rent a Jeep while there to travel around the island as well as be able to go out to eat. That is $294 for the whole time. If we got just the hotel & airfare without all the extras it was $300 less but I really like the whole package.

Re: Aruba Honeymoon - Is this a good price?

Thanks Jenn! Again I knew I could count on you to jump in here. I have a courtesy hold on it until Monday. I had to pass the info on to my mom since she said her & my stepfather want to pay for part or all as a wedding gift to us!!!!

Can't wait to go!
