Aruba Honeymoon

My FH and I are planning on going to Aruba for our honeymoon. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to stay?? We are thinking of doing all-inclusive.

Any advice???

Re: Aruba Honeymoon

We stayed at the Occidental this past March; we loved it! The beach was beautiful, and the resort itself was really nice. We loved our room; although the lobby could use a little bit of a make-over (in comparison to the other hotels nearby), but it was perfectly nice. The staff was helpful and friendly, and the pool bar was the best!

We ventured out for dinner a like 3 or 4 times; the food at the Occidental was good, but after eating breakfast and lunch and spending most of our day there, we wanted to venture out. Aruba also has many excellent restaurants, so that was another reason why we wanted to venture out, and loved each restaurant we went to.

If you have any questions, feel free to FM.

Enjoy!

Definitely leave the Occidental for dinner a few times while you're there. We went there Sept. '09 and the food was not the greatest... not horrible but not great. We left only one night to go to Flying Fishbone which was amazing! We took a cab there and back for $60 and it was well worth it! You eat right on the water and some people eat with their table/feet right in the water. It was the most romantic dinner we've ever had! Make reservations though for right before sunset!!

we stayed at the hyatt and loved it!! we didn't do all inclusive because we heard that the restaurants were great so we wanted to eat dinner out... we got breakfast included with our package so we would just eat a huge breakfast in the morning and then go venture out for dinner each night

Re: Aruba Honeymoon

We went to Aruba this past summer as an early one year anniversary present to each other. We stayed at the Westin, which was nice but not really a 'honeymoon' choice. If we were to go again, we'd definitely stay at the Hyatt. It's gorgeous! I don't know if an all inclusive package really pays in Aruba since there's so much to do and see around the island plus sooooo many great restauarants to venture out to. You really can't go wrong in Aruba though - all the hotels are connected to the same beach and they're all well kept!

Thanks everyone for the great information! We keep hearing different things about whether to do all-inclusive or not. Which doesn't make our decision an better...yikes!

arubas the one place you might kick yourself for all inclusive.. unless youre only staying for three days, the food, weather and ppl are so amazing that youre going to wind up spending lots of $$ at other places...

go to www.bucuti.com, they have an all inclusive option, i think its like 35 a day, i love this place, really quiet and private, but close to all the good stuff.
