Hi…ok, I’ll add my 2 cents now. I own at LaCabana but have rented from the Aruban when it used to be the Villas. I would recommend LaCabana hands-down. Trust me, with kids it will get tiring walking to/from the beach with all of your stuff. I have 2 children and they LOVE the pool and slide at LaCabana, they go up and down it for hours at time. Plus, the pool there is more livelier than out back. Security will ask you to leave if you are a non-resort guest and using their pool. Anyone is welcome to drink at the bar but not use the pool or lounge chairs without bracelets. I witnessed many people asked to leave. Most were teenagers rough-housing on the slide though.
To me, the Aruban feels like a ghost town, but that’s just my opinion.
Also, The beach is first come first serve. Good luck!!!!
