Re: Aruba...
Don't mean to make your decision even tougher but we stayed at the Occidental Grand Aruba last year in the high rise section and loved it. It's All Inclusive and we had heard there are so many great restaurants that you shouldn't do AI there but we enjoyed it. The food was good and we loved knowing exactly how much we spent and not having things add up while there. Since we knew all that was paid for, we didn't mind stepping out a couple of times for a dinner or lunch elsewhere. Papamiento is one of them - beautiful romantic restaurant we'd highly recommend. There was also a Hooters near the hotel (random!) that we had lunch at because we were craving Buffalo wings and beer one day so it was a nice change. Aruba is awesome. I think it's a great choice for HM.

Re: Aruba...
We just stayed at the Riu for our HM in Aruba. One word...AMAZING!! It's new and gorgeous..all the rooms are suites..the pool is great, swim-up bar! Lots of HM couples were there...we met about 8 or 9 other couples. The food was good. Honestly, aruba does have wonderful food...but it can get expensive. We liked the AI because we knew we'd be drinking in the pool and that can add up. We ate at the hotel a few nights and out a few nights. It was still worth the AI IMO.
Feel free to ask me anything other questions you have about it.

While true i still got all inclusive because i want drinks at teh pool * in the pool. More then likely Breakfast & somelunch will be atthe hotel Dinner i dont care im definitely tasting all teh great restaurants. I think the All inclusive pays for just our drinks! lol
The Hyatt does not offer all incl. its beautiful but i like other places alot better now.

Re: Aruba...
Aruba is absolutly georgous. I have been there many times. I would suggest doing an All Inclusive since everything is imported to the Island and its very expensive.
The RIU is awesome and great food.
THe Hyatt is beautiful as well.
I highly recommend Aruba.....
