I would recommend the tamarijn. all rooms right on the water steps away from the sand. you get to use the divi aruba resort next door also. gives you 8 restaurants and 6 beach bars, free nightly entertainment, free non-motorized sports like snorkel, scuba lesson, kayaks, climbing wall, windsurfers, fitness center, free golf cart ride to and from divi, tamarijn and alhambra casino. can use 9 pools between all the divi complexes including on other side of road. see thweir website at
www.megaresorts.com for pix, menus, prices etc. I would not book through them directly but get a vacation package from aavacations.com or
www.expedia.com for a cheaper price. kids under 18 stay and eat for free.
