Which AI to stay with children?

[Arubalisa]

Before booking ask for details (fine print) on extra charges/surcharges at specific restaurants.
For example, at LG Smith's at the Renaissance you are able to order from the "Silver Menu"
At the Westin, dinner at Pago Pago carries a $10 surcharge per person.

But does anyone have any info on the Renaissance AI?

Thanks forall of that info. I guess all-inclusive isn't always all-inclusive. Gives us alot to think about!

One of the reasons we have always been attracted to the Tam. No surcharges

I stayed at the Renaissance last year. It was nice, but we probably wouldn't stay there again. I like to be right on the beach, I felt like it's very commercial
rather that tropical. Not sure if that makes sense. It was part of a shopping mall kind of. And the restaraunts aren't great which probably wouldn't be good for AI.
The one bonus is the private beach. The boat picks you up right in the lobby. I attached the best photos I have of the boat. The kids would probably like that.
But from what I remember, there weren't a whole lot of kids there. Hope this was a bit helpful. Good luck!

Doesn't the Holiday Inn have an AI plan as well?
