We probably would make good travel companions.
And, like you, we did see Paradera before we stayed - although we didn't take a tour.
We saw Paradera the very first time we were in Aruba (we were lost - as usual). I remember thinking that Paradera was probably just the kind of place people who really knew Aruba would stay and perhaps we would stay there someday as well.
Then, last year, I saw the good reviews on tripAdvisor. I said to hubby "You remember when we went out the road to Noord and it hung a right and we took the road on the next left and we saw that apartment complex behind a big rock and I said to you that it looked nice?"
Hubby never actually answers questions like that. He just grunts. (secret of a long marriage)
"Well, it is nice. Lets go there for Christmas."
"Okay," he said (second secret to a long marriage)
