I just got back from the Aruban last week . If you get a really good deal on this resort & you like quiet (and don't mind dated but clean rooms) this is the place . We had breakfast in our room everyday (complete kitchenette) and ate out in the evening . The pools are warm , service OK . The Cabana looked nicer and a lot busier as we walked through on the way to the beach .
Good restaurants within walking distance LePetite , Tulips , Chalet Swisse , (overated i think)Mangos ,& Passions . I'm sure i missed a few.
Mangos was my favourite and a quick taxi ride took us to the Buccaneer (the catch of the day was Barracuda - DELICOUS) another great place . We tried to spend modestly on food ,although there are tons of great dining experiences a cab ride away ( constant cabbing can quickly add up though) . Like i said if the price is right and you don't mind quiet ( really quiet) then the Aruban should be fine . Good luck
