Going to Aruba is special in itself

Been there 13 times in 10 years. stayed at a total of 4 different resorts. all nice, friendly and safe. Done all inclusive and eat out at restaurants trips. Highly recommend the Divi Aruba AI. Want a cheaper stay, Try the Coconut Inn. Been to the natural bridge before and after it fell down, all the caves, baby beach (a favorite), gold mill ruins, gold smelter ruins, all the neighborhoods, high rises, low rises, donkey farm, buttefly farm, bird sanctuary, Atlantis sub ride, glass bottom boat ride, Tatto party boat, Kukuu kunukoo dinner bar hopper tour (WOW!!!!), bus tour, jeep tour, horse tour, Palm pleasure sunset cruise, Let's Go Latin show, been in every casino, shopping is fun, jetskiing, drag races, adventure mini golf and cars, Black hog saloon, bahia cafe, carlos and charlies, charlies bar, moomba's beach bar, mambo jambo's, iguana joe's, fusherman's huts, California lighthouse, alto vista chapel, Madamee jeanette's, marandi's, flying fishbone, Tesas de brazil, aqua grille, tango's, soprano's, tomato charlie's, cuba's cooking, paddock and more. Everytime we go, we make it a point to do something different. It's great in Aruba!!! You have not lived until you have been there!!

This will be our 4th trip. Did the Divi AI the first 2 times and loved that. Every part of the Island is unique. Can't wait to be back there.

i just got back from my second trip.
I have to say Salt and Pappers has the best nachos and breakfast for the money, that I found anyway.
Did Tattoo again, and again I had an awesome time. Kukoo Kanukoo was wild and a great time, the champange brunch catamaran/snorkel trip was very relaxing and quite the experience each time.
The Radisson Aruba is probably the nicest resort i found during my "recon" missions to find a better property.. nothing compared. It's in a great location, their beach is cleaner than the others and not as crowded. it's just a really nice place, and that's without getting into how great the staff was. OMG i never experienced a hotel stay like that ever, and i have traveled quite a bit.

We have been to Aruba 5 times and have stayed at 4 different places. I LOVE the Radisson, having scoped it out a few times. It's unfortunate that it's so expensive, but you get what you pay for. I hope to stay there at some point!

drag races

I went 3 years ago. It's on the other side of island at approx. opposite end from resorts. don't know the price nowadays but you can call 1-800-TO-ARUBA (Mon-Fri) and get all that updated info, and when it is this year. Check events calendar above for dates.
