Hi, Does anyone have any feedback from the Westin in Aruba. I know alot of people say go to the Hyatt but they have no all-inclusive package there whereas the Westin does. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Re: Westin Aruba?
We stayed at the Westin Aruba and liked it. As the above posters said, it's under construction but, it really didn't bother us.
We were upgraded to a suite and our room was gorgeous - they completed a $16m room renovation last year.
The lobby is still closed, it's set to reopen next week and they've been working really hard to get it done (and really late - the casino is right there so we've seen them).
We went to a few other casinos on the island and enjoyed the Westin the most. I won $70 on nickel slots one night, DH won $300 last night playing poker. Basically though, we broke even.
The italian restaurant here was good, Cafe Baci. The pool bar and the restaurant by the pool were nice as well.
All of the staff was nice and friendly - they brought us ice pops by the pool!
We also had more than enough washcloths in our room.
The gym and the spa were really nice.
That being said - the pool was nice but, there was no swim up bar or a hot tub. There also weren't a lot of umbrellas. I know they are still working on renovations so this might not be an issue going forward.
The Hyatt was nice as well - the pool area was nicer than the Westin but, in all other areas (rooms, restaurants, gym - they are about even).
