I was there twice. I went with my friend's family and stayed in their time share. I don't remember too much about the food (I am a very picky eater so I probably didn't like too much). We went to Carlos & Charlies every night.

I have been there. It is a really amazing place.....desert on one side and beaches on the other.
I LOVED the jeep adventure tour. They take you to a bunch of interesting places on the island and you get to swim in the natural pool.
I also went on a party bus thing that takes you to a lighthouse champagne toast, a bunch of little bars, and dinner. It was a good time.

I was there on a Cruise, Went on a bus tour that took us to a very cool rock formation and then went swimming and snorkeling at the beach. I forget the name but the fishes are everywhere at only waist deep water.

I went there with 3 of my girlfriends...we had a blast. Carlos and Charlie's is definitely the place to be for a party. There are casinos and cute little restaurants, a nice shopping area. The beaches are gorgeous. I loved the Jeep tour too, but we didn't get to go on the KuKuKonuku Bus.

It was nice...but not my favorite place I've been to!

I was at Aruba this summer on a family vacation and we all loved it. The beach was beautiful and it is sunny there everyday. I would definitely go there again.

Re: whos been to

my mom went and actually hated it... there was a storm and they lost all power and she said the weather was not that nice. and she said there wasn't much to do... I've actually heard very mixed emotions

DH and I went to Aruba on our HM. We loved it and had an amazing time. I loved the KukuKanukoo bus tour and doing Sea Trek. I posted pictures and activities in my review.

We were there back in 2003...i like it alot...but FH wasn't all that thrilled..it's kind of rocky and not lush with vegitation like i thought it would be...we like to gamble & they have casinos...also a great 'jewelry row' ...we did snorkeling...a tour of the island...and hung out on the beach...here are some pics if you want to look...

Re: whos been to

Amanda,
I am home from my cruise and I must say I did not like ARUBA at all.. First off let me start off by saying the island is kind of dirty, second we had a great time at Carlos and Charlies but then found out 20 minutes after I left someone from my cruise ship was stabbed and murdered outside there. We went to baby beach which was OK it was so expensive to rent chairs, snorkel equipment, etc. the food is very expensive there as well. I personally did not like aruba and Amanda we both have the same taste. To be honest I did NOT feel safe there at all.

They are not nice people there at all..

Girls I am sorry if I am offending any of you
