FH and I are set are going to Aruba for our honeymoon.
however, we have never been on a big trip like this before..so we dont know what a good price is ...so, if you dont mind, can you share with me:
Where you are staying? How much you are paying? What is all included? and who you booked through?
TIA!

Re: Aruba Girls!!!!
We're going August 8th for 11 days... paying something like $3500-3800 at the Hyatt, king bed ocean/pool view... got a promotion through the Hyatt website that includes every 4th night free or something like that and breakfast for both of us every day. Airfare was like under $1000 for the both of us combined round trip.
I did a lot of research when we booked and the Hyatt was my favorite of the hotel choices but one of the most expensive (if not the most). The Marriott looked nice too and the Occidental but we didn't want to do all-inclusive. Bucuti Beach Resort looked very nice but not as much going on on that part of the island, or so I hear, which can be a good thing or bad thing depending on what you want for the honeymoon. We strongly considered booking there though, it looked romantic. They have a ton of reviews and pictures for all these places on tripadvisor.com, I would check there for candid opinions from travelers that have been there!

We are staying at Bucuti Beach Resort. We're not doing all-inclusive though. I think its about 2600 for the week.

If you want all-inclusive I would suggest staying at the RIU Palace. I loved it there!

OMG!! The Hyatt is AMAZING! It has the most amazing restaurants also. Across the street is a Brazilian Steakhouse. Went there once and it was soooo good. You Aruba ladies are going to have a blast! Thereis so much stuff to do there!!
