Aruba-where to stay

The Hyatt, Raddison, Divi, Riu Palace.

Im staying at the occidental!

We are going there next week for our 1 year anniversary...we are staying at the Westin...heard very good things about the Hyatt & Raddisson...

Aruba has so many great resturants that you shouldn't do an all-inclusive...just IMO

we are getting married at the Renaissace...i like it becasue it has more of the night life and it aslo has its own private beach for our wedding ..

I have heard that the hyatt is really nice but overpriced

We stayed at the Renaissance as well and LOVED it and the private island. I also liked being close to town....great nite life.

Aruba was our favorite vacation!

just got back from aruba.. just a little warning the high rise section theres consturction EVERYWHERE.. the riu prolly won't open by july .. i dont think its supposed to be fully operational till late oct? was what i was hearing.. its still just cement type buildings.. i have pics if anyone wants to see

id try looking at the low rise... we stayed at the bucuti... www.bucuti.com best time, didnt have to wake up early to get a palpa (beach hut thing)...
it was very relaxing and couldnt have asked for a better location.. its a 5-8 dollar cab ride to 'hi rise' section

i would love to see aruba pics

i second the bucuti.. soo quite and such a nice beach.. the regular, superior room was fine.. we were hardly in the room... the beach is beautiful and the happy hour drinks are great!! haha.... and they include a breakfast (cold food - yogurt, cereal, bagels, fruit) in the price!! thats a plus..

i have pics in my community album..

in my opinion i would NOT do any all inclusive, unless youre a drinker... the food there is AMAZING... the prices are comparable to NYC/LI restaurants..

if you have any quest.. please let me know..

i wanted to possibly to go aruba for my 1st year anniversary


i sholdnt do an all inclusive/??

i think it depends on how much you want to spend and how much to drink and eat.. all inclusives are great, but aruba has great restaurants!!!


i wouldnt get all inclusive, but thats just me.. i liek going to different places each night and getting out from the hotel..

Just got back from Aruba last night and the best place on the island is by far the Hyatt Regency!!!! We loved it there so much!!!!!!

IMO you shouldn't do all-inclusive in Aruba, way too many great restaurants...but keep in mind they are not cheap so if you are on a budget then an all-inclusive might work for you better....

ETD: The beach is way better at the low-rise section (eagle beach) which has some nice resorts as well....so maybe you can look there as well....

Don't waste your money on the AI package. There are so many wonderful restaurants to eat at.

Radisson and Hyatt are beautiful. I stayed at the Occidental on Palm Beach two years ago and did not like very much. A Mariott was being built as I was there.
