Why Pictures of Aruba Hotel Bathrooms?

Obviously you have seen my pictures of the Radisson including the bathrooms.   Now I also have photos of the bathrooms at the Tamarijn. Yes, quite a contrast.

Keep in mind though, there are two schools of thought.

One is as long as it is clean, the amenities of a bathroom are only "window dressing". 

The second is, even if it is clean, it will not meet one's standards unless there is marble or granite surrounding you. I simply call it glam and glitz.

My family thinks I'm odd, but like I tell them, "that is what people really want to see".

Radisson Aruba vs. the Tamarijn All Inclusive

Comparisons

Radisson is non-all inclusive & the Tamarijn is all inclusive.

• If you are big drinkers
  --Radisson drinks are $$$
  --Tamarijn drinks are "free" (top shelf liquor is at least included in what you already paid

What Room to Book at the Radisson Aruba?

When staying at the Radisson, if you are booking a room for the view, you will want to book  at least a partial oceanview, if not deluxe oceanview.

Worried about overlooking a parking lot? The only rooms I can think of which overlook the parking lot would be the upper floors of the Curacao Building, furthest from the ocean, mainly on the south side. Actually the Riu's parking and building. They would also have a view of the ocean. Either way you would still have a partial oceanview.

Aruba Hyatt vs. the Radisson

Dh and I have stayed at the Hyatt once. Very nice resort, top notch as a matter of fact. Beautiful swimming pool with waterslide and swim up bar (if that is a deal maker or breaker for you).

Downside is the beach can get crowded and the rooms have only step out balconies, unless you go for the very big bucks and book an oceanfront suite.
