ARUBA

Anyone know how the Marriott in Aruba is?? It's on Palm Beach. Is that a good spot to be? Anyone have other hotels to recommend? Also, do you recommend all inclusive? Thanks!

Re: ARUBA

Hi! Ive been to Aruba a ton of times. Yes Marriot is beautiful. Its the last hotel on the end of the strip, so if you want to walk along to the other hotels/resteraunts, its a little bit of a walk, but it is nice. My favorite is the Hyatt, its gorgeous and its in the middle of the strip. I definitely would not reccomend the Riu Palace. Stayed there once its an all inclusive and its absolutely horrible service! Aruba is gorgeous and so is Palm Beach, you wont be dissapointed!

Re: ARUBA

I do not recommend doing all inclusive in Aruba. There are way too many nice restaurants to miss out on.

I've been to Aruba before and stayed at the Hyatt and loved it!!! Its amazing...I have heard nothing but good things about the marriott but have never stayed there personally. I agree with maybe not doing all inclusive...the restaurants in Aruba are unbelievable!! (If you are in Aruba on Sunday - go to the brunch at the ruinas del mar in the hyatt - so nice!)

We actually booked Aruba for our honeymoon. We're staying at the Marriott Stellaris Hotel and Casino. It's gotten rave reviews and the travel agent we went through said we wouldn't be disappointed.

Re: ARUBA

You will love Aruba. We stayed at the Hyatt for Honeymoon and would go back in a heartbeat.

The Marriott was nice but honestly the Hyatt was nicer! It was also less crowded and less families which was nice for our HM!

And I do not suggest all-inclusive. There are SO MANY good restaurants.

Re: ARUBA

I stayed at a Marriot in Aruba, but the one in town. It was great, it was one of the best trips I've been on. Definitely don't do all inclusive, there are so many great restaurants!

Hyatt is gorgeous and so is RUI Palace.
