If you do not have a rental car definitely Passions. We have celebrated our wedding anniversary there the past two years.

Passions

I would pick Passions over Flying Fishbone. We used to love Flying Fishbone but over the years they've added alot of tables to their beach area and it's not romantic anymore (for us anyway) when I'm sitting that close to other couples and can hear their conversations.

Yeah, not my idea of "romantic".....I'd rather listen to the water lapping at the shore.

But....people still love Flying Fishbone and they're still packing them in there so apparently we must be in the minority.

With all of the years coming to Aruba, we have never had dinner at Passions. I guess it is because we have become set in our ways and keep going back to the same restaurants that we are familiar with. We will be down to Aruba on May 14th and returning home on May 30th. Will definitely make a reservation at Passions. After being married 50 years this past January 16th, it is still nice to go to a nice romantic beach location with excellent food. We had dinner at Flying Fishbone twice and it is true, the tables are too close together and you don't need to hear other peoples conversations. Another place we plan to try is Pincho's.
