Hi! I am in the process of researching this and I found this place. It looks to good to be true but on tripadvisor.com it got mostly great reviews. I was also told the Mariott timeshares were great (my boss was there last year).

I talked to 5 travel agents before booking our honeymoon to Aruba. What I heard was that the Radisson and Renassaice (a Marriott hotel) were the best--but for different reasons. I heard that the Radisson area was were most of the young couples and honeymooners stay and you'll meet a lot of them to hang with. There isn't much there but the hotels and restaurants. The beach can get crowded and hard to find an umbrella. The Renaissance is in the heart of the capital, has two towers, the only 24hr casino and it's own private island. I heard that the Beach tower was better because it had the bigger pool and was set back from the main street--so not noisy but you could still walk to all the shopping and regular fast food places. We chose the Renaissance based on the travel agents suggestions, people we knew and tripadvisor. Good Luck!

We are also planning for Aruba for our honeymoon. I am a wyndham by request member and love their hotel accomodations. The Aruba wyndham is both a spa and resort and I like the various packages they offer. I heard from a friend who stayed at the Hilton that the Wyndham was much better place to be. I will probably book the Wyndham as I have a lot of faith in their service and extensive accomodation. good luck on whichever you decide.

Thank you all for your info. I heard that the Hyatt is great. I am a little confused. I guess I have a couple of months before i book it.

Me and my Fiance went to Aruba for vacation and that is where he proposed on the beach there it was beatiful. But anyway to let you know we stayed at the Wyndham but the first night we got there they said they overbooked and that we had to stay next door at some dump needless to say it was'nt a great start to our vacation. But when we finally did get into the Wyndham it was beatiful.

I vistited almost all the hotels in Aruba and I recommend the Hyatt it was so beatiful. Also another beatiful hotel Fairly new the Radisson and also the Renissance which is right in the middle of town. But I do have to say Aruba was awesome and that is definately the place to honeymoon a little island with a great atmosphere.

Me and FH were just in Aruba in May-that is where he proposed We stayed at the Tamarijn-it is an all-inclusive resort and if you get the mega all inclusive package you get to use all of the facilities at the DIVI-which is next door(including the restaurants). All inclusive was great for us-the food was great and the resort was beautiful-all oceanfront rooms-like 30 feet from the water.We didnt have a lot of $$ to go away with so it worked out really good. The Hyatt and the Marriot are beautiful-not all inclusive, but really nice. So is the Renaissance. Let me know if you need anything else

Hyatt. There is no other!!!! I was next door to both the Hyatt and the Raddisson ( also nice) but I kept walking over to the Hyatt and hanging out there...a girl can pretend! Anyway, they have this thing were you geta table and have dinner by the water by yourselves and the waiter comes and serves you by the moonlight Soooo Romantic!!!!! If you go, and even if you don't stay there, have that dinner.
