We are coming Feb 2nd and know that we will definitely go to Madamn Jeanette's. When should I make the reservations. And, is there any other restaurant we should make reservations ahead of time? Thanks.

you will be in aruba during PRIME TIME (carnival)
make your MJs reservations now (we have had our christmas eve reservations since august.

other places that you may want to consider making reservations for now are some of the sunset view places : Flying fishbone, Marandi, Marina Pirata.

once you make your reservations online and get an email confirmation, print it and bring with you

also too, make sure that you call and reconfirm once you get to aruba.

Just got back and loved Cefs Table once again. When you make the reservation, request inside or out as they are opening their outdoor dining area this week. Saw it over the weekend and it is beautiful.

hey andrea,
i see your posts all the time, always very informative and always putting a smile on my face. i see you will be "home" for xmas eve, we are going down the 19th-29th and i just wanted to let you know i'll be on the lookout for you guys...we'll be out for my 36th birthday on xmas eve at the same restaurant we always celebrate...sunset grill.
hope to catch you...maybe at the pier, do you like the equator band?
tracey

we'll be on the lookout too
we stay at lacabana brc
and are poolside most of the day (with the exception of our 2x daily strolls over to the ocean for a hop in)

it's almost vacation time and it is almost your happy birthday!!!!

I will make reservations. Is there a time that I shoudl make them for at this one and any of the others; i.e. because of sunsets, etc. Thanks so much. This is our first trip so any of your recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Sunset around 6:15PM, but not really an issue at MJ's. You dine in a graden setting without view of the sunset. However Nov 21 dined there and had a great picture of the moon rising in the crook of a tree. Our reservation was 6:30PM. By the way as good as all the posts say.

If you are going to Flying Fishbone, make a reservation as soon as you can. Ask for one of the sunset tables, the tables that sit along the water's edge. The corner table by the rock is the best view. Go by 5:30 and take your time. Make a reservation as soon as you can. You won't regret it!

Thanks! I have made reservations at both Mjs and Flying Fishbone. Are there any other reservations we should make ahead of time? Thanks!

check out screaming eagles (same owner as Flying Fishbone) and it looks beautiful. Also, another favourite of ours is LG Smith Chop house. Check out the website and see the menu and picutures.
