Yes, reservations are a must for this one. But think you can wait and call down there.

Screaming Eagle has changed their menu , check out Windows on Aruba as well.

If you don't want to go for the big $$$ taxi ride to Old Man & the Sea, I recommend Passions at the Amsterdam Manor.

Arubalisa, I've been wondering how your Christmas Dinner, At Windows on Aruba went with you and all the family, hope it was as good or better. What a great place.

Reservations

Hello everyone!

My financee and I have choosen to go to Aruba for our honeymoon. We will be arriving on Feb 27, 2010.

This site has lots of great information!

I am wondering if we have to make reservations for any of the restaurants before we leave for our trip?

Thank you to everyone for all of the info!

Make reservations for the most popular restaurants and those with limited seating:
  • Madame Janette
  • Flying Fishbone
  • Old Man and the Sea
  • Passions
If you have any other restaurants where you want to eat on a specific night at a specific time, make those in advance as well. When you arrive on the island you can have your resort's concierge confirm your reservations for you.

Thanks for all the great ideas! (and oops! meant to write the Flying Fishbone!) we'll be there for 2 weeks, so we can try all your suggestions!
