El Gaucho - awesome steak place but pricey

Flying fishbone - i didnt go there but i looked at the website and you eat right on the beach looks so cool!

do a party bus - you get to see the popular bars like Carlos and Charlie's AND you get to see some local bars too

butterfly farm - i didnt go but FMIL liked it

do a JEEP tour - i did the regular one and so much of the stuff is off road we missed everything - if you go on the jeep tour you get to see A LOT more stuff

baby beach is awesome - you walk for miles and its still up to your knees. . .

ummm thats all i can think of for now!

just thought of another one - if you guys like fishing . . .go down to the docks and there is a boat - its one of the first slips its called Rainbow something - its the only boat that is like plain fishing not deep sea fishing ( where they strap you in) - the captain is really laid back and its a great time!

Not a problem. Aruba is amazing. We have been there twice this year. The last time, we got engaged. I find the island the cleanest, safest, and friendliest. The water is amazing. Make sure you bring sun block because the sun is intense but you don't realize it due to the breeze. Aruba is broken down by the high rise and low rise section. We personally like the high rise section better. There are several hotels. The Radisson, Hyatt, and Marriot are all great. However, I think the Hyatt is doing some construction so I would check it out first. There is also the Wyndam which is nice but a little walk which is not bad because all the hotels are connected by a walkway. The high rise section is nice because it is right by all the casinos. The beaches are more crowded on the high rise section. In the low rise section are some of the all inclusive. Check out the DIVI hotels. They are nice but remember they are all inclusive. The low rise section is nice because it is less crowded. However, we still prefer the high rise just because there we more people around. There is also the Renaissance. That is considered the low rise section but it's nice because it's right by the HUGE outdoor Mall. It's amazing, a girls dream. I believe they also have a private island that you can go to for the day with this hotel. As far as things to do, there are tons. I would do activities through DePalm tours. I would go SNUBA diving (AWESOME), DePalm Island, Natural Pool, and ATV renting. They also have sunset cruises and party cruises. At night, there is not much but you are so exhausted that it does not matter. They have CASIONOS (go to the ones in the high rise). We like the RADISON. There are bars to go to but check the cruise schedules because that’s when those places are busy. They have the infamous Carlos & Charlies, Harley Davidson Bar, Iguana Joe's, and Sopranos Lounge. The food is awesome (a reason why we didn't do all inclusive).
I would go to El Gaucho, Madame Janette’s (our favorite, its romantic), Amazonia, Flying Fishbone, Aqua Grill, Chalet Suisse, and L.G. Smiths. It is a wonderful place. I think it is the best island. If you go, Enjoy the beaches. If you have any other question FM. I have pics to. Hope you get that ring.

If you like going out and having a good time... you have to do the kuku-kunuku bus!! It was the most fun FH and I had the whole week! Jolly Pirates swim and sail snorkel cruise was fun too.

I agree!!

The Sunset Dinner cruise was nice for a HM but a little $$.
We also both liked the half-submarine
We didn't do too much during the day b/c we just hung out on the beach which was AWESOME
The water is an amazing color...we couldn't get over it and it's warm and calm.

Our favorite restaurants were Flying Fishbone and Marandi. We did the private dinner for two at our hotel, the bucuti..it was romantic & nice. I know a lot of hotels do this!

We are so excited to go back this winter! You're gonna have a great time
