We jsut bought an all-inclusive at cheapcarribien.com Staying at Tamarijin Aruba it was the cheapest...and most beautiful we found!! We go April 17th so we'll let ya know

I don't think there are any adult-only options in Aruba, like other islands. However, a few AI hotels are: Tamarijin, the Divi which has a few places (possitive with either is you get to use the facilities at both resorts because they are owned by same company), the RIU (newer), plus alot of the other hotels have AI options. Hope that helped. If you are leaning more toward less kiddies than AI, I would recommend the Bucuti.....it isn't child-free but I have been told (from people that used it) it is the closest thing you can get.

I'm going to Aruba for my HM but staying at the Radisson.
I'm pretty sure there is an adult only hotel but I forgot which one.
Check TripAdvisor forums for all the info you need, they are awesome

Be careful...the Renaissance is downtown not on the beach like the other properties. My sister warned me about that as she works for the marriott. If you want to be able to go out and practically step out onto the beach...this hotel isn't it

The Amsterdam Manor. Very small, great all inclusive package for honeymooners. We loved it! I do recall some children a the resort but it was not an issue at any time.

If you have any questions you can e-mail me. agaydos@hvc.rr.com

We recently booked the Riu Palace AI for our Aruba honeymoon. Orbitz is having a great sale right now! From our research Aruba has very few AI's and compared to some of the other one's we looked at the Riu has what we are looking for, several food options, great beach access and a little more upscale then where we would normally pick since it is our honeymoon.

We booked the RIU also! Cant wait!! Through Expedia... friends who have family there said its the palace you see from the plane in... cant wait!

I have done so much research through the tripadvisor forum and they all have great things to say about Bucuti, especially for a HM

Has anyone stayed or booked at Occidental? I've heard mixed reviews on that, but they are less expensive then the Riu.

demarcosjd · February 2010

Although I personally have not stayed at the Occidental we had friends stay there. They told us it is very no frills, standard 3 stars, and it seemed to have a lot more children since it is more affordable. HTH

bucuti and amsterdam manor are the best. from personal experience AND from recs from my TA, they are the nicests, smallest, and most intimate. my TA said she would never allow me to spend my honeymoon at any of the others. good luck!

I think it depends what you are looking for. Both bacuti and amsterdam are located on eagle beach. Its more private but most everyone agrees that further up (palm beach) is the nicer beach.
If you want more seclusion than eagle beach is the right choice. Also, eagle beach doesn't have as much stuff within walking distance.
I was told Hyatt was the best place to stay for a HM in Aruba. I choose Radisson because its like 1 hotel over and the price was slightly cheaper. I like being on palm beach where you can walk across the street to other restaurants/bars.
Like I said, its all about what kind of hm you want.
Just do your research
