Hi,

My husband and I went to Aruba in September '07 for our honeymoon and fell in love with it. We're going back in May, but this time with our 18 month old son, looking forward to some quality family time.

We're staying at the Holiday Inn on Palm Beach this time, I haven't been there before. I know they have babysitting services, but has anyone here used them with a young toddler? I've never had a stranger watch our son before because we live super close to my in-laws, so I'm pretty nervous about it...but the hubby and I could really use one date night out. Can anyone give me any reviews of this service, recommendations or advice??

Also, any other tips for going with an 18 month old little boy would be great. I've been doing my reading and the butterfly farm and donkey sanctuary seem inexpensive and wonderful for the little guy. Has anyone done Palm Island with a kid his age? Is it worth the cost?

Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom.

Have a great day!
