I love Aruba.  Some restaurant recs are:  El Gaucho if you want steak, Papiemento for traditional Aruban food (ask to sit by the pool), Screaming Eagle, Madame Jeanette's.  If you want to eat in the sand, then go to Flying Fishbone.  Depending on where you're staying, they now have another restaurant called Passions that's supposed to be great and not as far a cab ride as Fishbone.  Morandi is good too.  Breakfast - Salt and Pepper and there's a couple of crepe places that are great.I usually sit on the beach, but there's a ton of watersports - i hear the catamaran at sunset is great.  There's also a fun party bus called the Kukoo Kunuku.  People also like to rent jeeps and go to the far end of the island during the day.  There's great shopping in town, you'll pass it from the airport.
