All Inclusive Or Not & Eagle Or Palm Beach?

Radisson Aruba
Your biggest considerations in choosing a resort in Aruba is going to be whether or not you wish to stay at an all inclusive resort, or one with an all inclusive package, or not; and which beach you would like to stay on.

All-inclusive has its purpose and on some islands and, is the only way to go. Aruba is not like Jamaica where you do not venture off property at night. It is different on Aruba in that you can travel freely and safely, even at night. Taxis are plentiful and fairly inexpensive so it is very easy to get around.

Romantic Dinners in Aruba

Aruba
The Flying Fishbone is an excellent choice for a romantic dinner. DO make a reservation ASAP and request a table on the beach next to the water! If you want to be there for sunset, make your reservation about at least a half hour before. Being so close to the equator, the sun sets very quickly. Dh and I have never eaten there for sunset. Just too early for us after spending all day on the beach. The down side of the Flying Fishbone is that if you do not have a rental car, it is a very expensive taxi ride from the resort areas.
