All Inclusive in Aruba?

I actually just went to Aruba last month on my Honeymoon. I wished i would've listened to the Liw girl who told me not to go all inclusive. I stayed at the Riu and my husband and i both hated it. Don't get me wrong the hotel is beautiful and the rooms are pretty nice , but the food was terrible . The first few nights dh and i were both sick . Fighting for the bathroom on your honeymoon is not very romantic.
In one of the restaurants there were actually flies all over the food and no one seemed to care . You have to wake up very early to make resevations for the specialty restaurants, otherwise you'll be stuck eating at the crappy buffet.
Please do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else . There are so many great places to eat in aruba it would probably cost the same to eat out anyway. Hth goodluck!

Where did you stay!!!!

OH NOOOO - ya see, this is why i am against all inclusives! And I have been telling every bride that Aruba has the best restaurants, you dont need to get all inclusive there -

I was in aruba 10/17-24, not sure when you were there exactly - but I can tell you because of the massive rain they had in September, there were an insane amount of flies all over!

Nope - none are adults only in aruba....

I stayed at the Marriott Surf Club and it was flooded with kids - i thought kids would have been in school but there were small screaming ones LOL and i guess parents pull some kids out of school...
