Aruba

Original post by Meg9-20-02

Hi all,
Just found out I get a bonus week of vacation time this year so we are trying to plan a mini-vacation (about 4 or 5 days) for our anniversary in September. Any recommendations for hotels in Aruba? We don't want to go crazy expensive but we still want to stay in a nice hotel. I know there are some big Aruba fans on here so I figured I'd give it a shot. Any other suggestions for a short, affordable, Caribbean vacation would be appreciated too.
Thanks!

I agree with stef too! I'm not a huge aruba fan even though that;s where we went for our HM> I thought it was nothing special.. A nice place that's expensive. There are better places to go. JMO!!!!

We went to Aruba for our honeymoon and stayed at the Radisson. We had a great time, it's a beautiful place and the people are so super friendly there. The restaurants there were very good and I think the prices were reasonable. The weather there is amazing all the time.

DH and I just returned from Aruba a few weeks ago. It was our first time and we loved it!!! I think it's by far the best place in the Carribean to go!! We stayed at the Divi Aruba Phoenix Beach. We have a timeshare in St. Thomas and we traded it in for this place. I thought it was great. I bet it's pretty reasonable if you look at room rates. We had a one bedroom with a terrace overlooking the ocean. They have a great restaurant there - the Sunset Bistro- I would go there for dinner even if you're staying somewhere else. We found the island to be kinda expensive. Although the best dinner we had was at Bella Luna and it was only $55. It depends where you go - you can have a great meal for $55 or a great meal for $200. The weather is always just perfect there and the people are really friendly. It's also nice that even though the restaurants may be a bit pricey, they are all unbelievable! You're almost guarenteed great food anywhere you go! I'm sure you'll have a great time no matter where you stay!!
