I would appreciate any help you can give me. I have been to Aruba several times and never uses the Dine Around. We will be going down for 10 days in Oct. and was thinking about it. Is it worth it? We love fine dining.

I would appreciate any opinions on this matter

Thanks

If you could eat within the confines of the program (see below) AND were planning on eating at the restaurants on the list anyway, I could see where perhaps it would be a good value.

Otherwise, I do not think it would be worth it. Also, for the price you are paying for the plan for dinners, the value for the VIP restaurants is imho a rip off and definitely not worth it.

Since you have already been to Aruba, you know there are so many great restaurants. I would never do the Dine Around Plan. Many people that have, said they didn't save any $$ or even $.
