I am super nervous about planning my Aruba wedding. I have only stayed at the Tamarijn and although i loved it i wanted to see other hotels that offer all inclusive for my wedding. I heard the Riu is beautiful and the Divi I saw upclose since it is the sister hotel to he Tamarijn. HELP! which hotel is better? Riu is beautiful and by all the water sports so that may be great for my guests

comparing the RIU and DIVI is apples vs oranges.
RIU is elaborate
Divi more laid back.
Westin is sort of inbetween, but more on the upscale end.

it is what you want....do you want luxury or laid back.

go thru the threads that others have posted in the WEDDING category and get lots of info there.

We just got married in May at the Divi. It was perfect for us as we are more of the laid back type of people. The all inclusive worked perfect for us and our guests.

Here is a link to a slideshow of photos:
