Re: Which HM spot??
I went to Aruba and I was deciding between the Bucuti and the Divi. I chose the Divi because we wanted all-inclusive but the Bucuti looked so nice. But I dont think they have alot of watersports.

Sandals is only couples. Beaches - has children.
Honestly - when we were there, 2 children there. They were doing a photo shoot for a new beaches that was opening - they put a letter under everyones door explaining that. And honestly - they had them at a different section of the beach.

We are staying at the Radisson in Aruba. We were between the Hyatt and Radisson, I heard the Radissons rooms are nicer and they had bigger balcony's. I also heard the Radisson has less kids. Sorry, both will have kids. Go on trip advisor, they have good reviews.
Did you check out Cap Juluca in Anquilla. I heard that is beautiful. There is nothing better then St. Maartean water. It is the best ever!!!!!
Also, I heard Royal Hideaway in Mexico is a great all-inclusive.

I haven't been to any of these places but have been doing lots of research online and if you are looking at Aruba the beach at the Bucuti is supposed to be a lot nicer than the beach where the high-rise hotels (like the Hyatt) are. We are thinking probably the Bucuti but haven't decided 100% yet.

I brought up Curaco to my TA and she said she does not recommend it for a HM. She said there are nicer places. I don't know I haven't been, but that is what she told me b/c I was looking into it.
7. Body Holiday @ Le Sport - St. Lucia
IS THIS HOTEL ALL INCLUSIVE??

I have to agree w/ LR5883. We went to Aruba last year and the beaches at the Buciti and Divi Divi are beautiful. It's more private just the people at the hotel are on the beach.
The high rise hotels are on a strip so they are all connected.

Re: Which HM spot??
Body Holiday at Le Sport is pretty much all-inclusive. That is, at the restaurants, most of the food is included, but the more expensive food items are available for an additional fee. On the website, (I'll include a link) look at the restaurant choices and then click on a menu, for example Tao's menu (scroll down on the sidebar) - it lists what food is included, and for the food that is not included, it lists the price.
Hope that helps!
Body Holiday is on our list of 'places we must visit.'
We went to Aruba for our HM and stayed at the Hyatt. We loved it and it is so beautiful there.

Re: Which HM spot??
i'm staying at the Hyatt in Aruba. I looked into so many on your list which is funny. We decided on Aruba because it's supposed to have the nicest water, and it will be fun with the casinos, water sports, nightlife, etc. i also like that it's not all inclusive so we can go to great restaurants and eat when and where we want. Bucuti's tara beach suits looked awesome, but the pool and activity there are nothing special. My fh wanted a cruise and i wanted the Bucuti, so we compromised on the Hyatt because it has great activity and restaurants, etc...yet it's still relaxing and right on the beach. Balconies are small and you can't sit out on them, and rooms are normal (bucuti's suites look more luxurious and beach is more secluded) - really depends what you are looking for. I've heard the grounds, pool, etc. at the Hyatt are the nicest. I want the Presidential Suite but what can you do:( Good luck!!! really you can't go wrong, pick out of a hat or something haha.
