The flights can be pricey, we paid $1054 for the 2 of us. Rooms can be $100 or more a night (we got my BIL's timeshare so I can't say how expensive) and dinners aren't too expensive (about $100 a night). It isn't as cheap as Jamaica is though from what I hear. It is worth it, it is your once in a lifetime honeymoon!!

I think our 9 day stay cost about 3K, including Airfare, Hotel (Radisson). We spent under 100 everynight for dinner. We went thru a travel agent.

Re: Aruba-crazed Honeymooners, lol....

It all depends really on when you go and where you stay like anywhere I guess.
The airfare really isn't that high. John & I went in 2x already & it was $1500.00 for both round trip & when we looked online the other day it was $1200.00 for both of us but we didn't book yet. Go to a travel agent & see what a package deal would cost, most times that's your best bet.
Good Luck!

Re: Aruba-crazed Honeymooners, lol....

We got a deal also...remember if you are going from April 1-Oct 1st it is 'off season' and it is much cheaper...Go to a few travel agents to get the best price. Also soo what type of deals you can find on the internet and bring them into the Travel agent.I found a deal from American express and my travel agent matched it...they want you business....We paid about $4000 total for Hotel , Airfare , trasfers, and food....and even rented a car
