Oh and as someone said earlier... the atv tour to the natural pool (no more natural bridge) is wonderful.... but the terrain is seriously rough... def a part of aruba not to be missed...

I went in the summer of 07 as well! We stayed in a different hotel, but we didn't have an all inclusive package, so we ate at a different hotel each night. I do recommend that if you get a chance to at somewhere else, go to the Hyatt...Ruinas Del Mar. FH and I had the most amazing food and experience. It is a floating restaurant/

We did ATVing too...I was scared, so I went on the back of his...but it was amazing. Be prepared to get veryyyyy dirty!

We also went kayaking in the ocean. The water is so calm, that you can.. very small waves, and it is very warm.

There are a bunch of bars in the hotels, but we had the best time when we went into town. We went shopping, and ate very good food there, as well. The bars were better in town...felt like a real bar, not a resort.

I loved Aruba! You'll have a wonderful time...just bring sunglasses everywhere you go, not only for the sun, but because it is a little bit windy and it kicks up the sand sometimes.
