Re: Aruba

it depends where you want to stay and the time of year. from what I recall from booking I think prices drop right around Easter for a few months so that should help.
You can stay in the high-rises which is probably a little more or for less somewhere like the divi or manchebo

Re: Aruba

well it depends if you want to stay in the high rise or low rise, and also how long you are planning on staying for...from what ive gathered so far (cause me and FH are planning on going to aruba for our HM), an all inclusive at the high rise allegro will run approx 6000 for approx 12 nights...divi low rise all inclusive i believe was around 4-5000....and non all inclusive varies from about 3-6000...this is all internet pricing tho, and right now their prices are sky high for next year, the TA i spoke to said to wait until end of summer to book b/c prices will go down...FM me if you need anything else

Re: Aruba

i am going to aruba for my HM, and i heard it wasnt really the best idea to get all-inclusive in Aruba, b/c of the great restaurants that they have there.

i booked the radisson for 5 nites and airfare for $1200 a person.

Re: Aruba

ive been to Aruba twice and IMO the best way to go is NOT all inclusive.......personally i enjoyed going to all the different restaurants bc they are really good!!!!! and lunch and breakfast is not very expensive you can even go to dunkin doughnuts if you want! Check out the Hyatt and the Wynhdam

Re: Aruba

One option, which we did, is a 'breakfast plan'. We paid for the breakfasts as part of our rate, and ate dinner out every night. There are tons of cheap beach bars, subways, etc. for lunch. The restaurants in Aruba were great, easy to get to, and not all that expensive - about on par with NY prices.

For one week at the ARuba Grand, with food, excursions, etc, we paid at or under $3,000.

HTH!

Re: Aruba

When I was booked in Aruba, I was quoted $6800 for 10 nights at the Occidental Grand Aruba. But I also selected one of the higher-end rooms. I'm sure you could book there for less $$$$.
