Aruba Honeymoon - Is this a good price?

Got this quote from a travel agent (friends mother)

The Radisson Resort is a beautiful hotel that was recently refurbished. A deluxe ocean pool view room (the best room with either a balcony or patio) with American Airlines non stop flights from JFK for Sept 14-20 would be $1742.65pp and for Sept 14-21 would be $1919.65pp, this would include your round trip air, hotel and hotel taxes. In Aruba, I do not recommed transfers from the airport because your stop at every hotel along the way to drop off people and they charge $18.pp round trip for this pleasure. For approx. $25.00 each way you can take a cab from the airport directly to the hotel, money well spent.
I can also book the Jeep, at a discount, once you decide how many days you want it for and what days you want it.

I was thinking we might want the jeep the whole time there.....any thoughts?????

The prices you posted are pretty much the norm, you will see the prices fluctuate withing approx. $200 or so.
Also, call another travel agent just to see what they give you, it can't hurt.

Re: Aruba Honeymoon - Is this a good price?

jodi, maybe the pricing is something you were looking for using the meal plan?
If you do the meal plan just promise to to eat at the flying fishbone at least ok?

Also on Sundays in Aruba most places are closed so we either eat at the hotel or pizza downtown.

OK, here is a 3rd quote:

6 nights in the Hotel that I wanted with a ocean view room and balcony. Buffet breakfast every morning. It is a honeymoon package with champagne upon arrival, 1/2 hr. massages for 2, bathrobes, sunset cruise for 2, private candlelight dinner at a restaurant with a bottle of wine. Airfare, transfers, tax & gratuities are all included. The price is $2,100 per person. We are also going to rent a Jeep while there to travel around the island as well as be able to go out to eat. That is $294 for the whole time. If we got just the hotel & airfare without all the extras it was $300 less but I really like the whole package.

Thanks Jenn! Again I knew I could count on you to jump in here. I have a courtesy hold on it until Monday. I had to pass the info on to my mom since she said her & my stepfather want to pay for part or all as a wedding gift to us!!!!

Can't wait to go!
