anyone who has stayed at the wyndam or renaissance in aruba...

okay ladies, i know there are a few posts around here about this and i have read them all but i'm STILL having a hard time so if you can please help!!
as part of our honeymoon, we are going to spend 6 nites in aruba. i know a lot of you say not to bother with the all-inclusive plan but FH is pretty set on it, so we're definitely going to go with an all-inclusive and then if we go elsewhere for dinner, so be it.
anyway our tickets are booked but i can't decide where to stay. i've narrowed it down some and am pretty sure we may go with the what used to be called the wyndam or the renaissance. can anyone who has stayed at either please let me know what you thought. positives/negatives. i am sooo indecisive and since FH really won't give his input, i need all the help i can get. as all of you do, i want our HM to be perfect. thank you!!!

I know Hollie stayed at the wyndham for her HM, check her review Hmpena......
Good Luck in deciding

We are doing all inclusive as well, I know everyone says not to do it, but there are a lot of good restaurants at Aruba spa resort and casino (formerly Wyndham) and we are excited about drinks being all inclusive as well

I went to Aruba Last June with FH IT WAS AWESOME You will love it..... I wanted to go for HM but FH wants to do something different .. I would stay at the Wyndam 100% I stayed next to it at the Aruba Grand I didn't like the Aruba Grand but I did like Wyndam & Radisson was VERY NICE!!! Check it out ..

the radisson looks awesome but i haven't seen any kind of all inclusive package. just a drink and food voucher that won't nearly cover 6 nites. i think i'm going to go with my original thought and pick the wyndam...
thanks ladies!

DH and I spent 1 night at the Renaissance waiting for our timeshare, it was very nice, but remember, it's downtown. They have their own little island which was great!!! I would definitely recommend it, but if you don't want to be in the middle of town (we loved it) then stay at the Wyndham.....

Re: anyone who has stayed at the wyndam or renaissance in aruba...

we're going to the Renaissance next week for a destination wedding- I'll let you know how it is.

Re: anyone who has stayed at the wyndam or renaissance in aruba...

I stayed at the renaissance on our honeymoon. LOVED IT!!!!! Its the only hotel located downtown, so everything is in walking distance. The hotel is very clean and well maintained. DH and I were fortunate enough to see a wedding taking place and the reception was beautifully decorated. The best part is since its located on the marina, they have a boat that launches from inside the hotel and takes you to a private island. They have two seperate beaches. One for family and the other for couples and singles (topless )

If you have any other questions about the Renaissance or Aruba, fm me. I'd be more than glad to help
