Aruba dillemma! Radisson or Wyndham

I know people have said the Radisson and I agree BUT my travel agent just called us and we can save $400 if we switch to the Wyndham. Is the Radisson really worth the difference in price. We are booked at the Radisson but that $$ difference is surely tempting us to go to the Wydham

I stayed ay the Wyndham about a year ago and loved it. Everything was beautiful and we had no complaints!

It really is all up to you. If saving some money means a lot...then do it. You can always go to the Radisson and walk through and/or eat at their restaurants. I'm staying at the Marriott...one because it's a little more secluded than any other hotel there and we saved some money too.

$400 is not that much.
Choose the hotel you like best. It's your Honeymoon

If it was MY honeymoon, i would choose the Radisson over the Wyndham. Just my opinion...both are great....i just thought the Radisson was so pretty!

If $$$ is an issue then go with the Wyndham. I have heard great things about BOTH.

As someone else said you can always visit the RAdisson and eat at the restaurant there.

I have stayed at both & liked the Radisson MUCH better, it's your HM spend!!!

The Wyndham wasn't that bad the rooms just smelt a bit musty, however go to Blossoms restaurant in the Wyndham for sure!!

Rlivings stayed at the Raddison and raved about it -she said the rooms were beautiful and really big and pool was incredible. FM her for more info but she said it was worth every penny! I say, SPLURGE!!
Good luck!

Hi Curly:

We just stayed at the Wyndham for our honeymoon and IMO, the Radisson is much nicer.

The Wyndham is not bad - but the rooms are a bit musty and I was not overly impressed with the staff there. I wish we had stayed at the Radisson.

No matter what though, it is your honeymoon. Have fun

Congratulations. I booked the Radisson for my Aruba honeymoon next March. I've heard nothing but terrific reviews about it.

Karina - glad to hear you decided to stick with the Radisson. Now we can have that drink. Was your price for 2 people? If this is the case, it looks like we paid alot more so you got a great deal.
