Exclamation Help!! - Honeymoon In July :)

Hello Everyone!
I have heard many nice things about Aruba, and we are getting married in July, and we wanted to stay at a nice place, preferably an All-Inclusive 24-hr Resort, with a nice Honeymoon Suite with private jacuzzi or pool. A hotel close to some kind of nightlife/dance/lounge, if not within, and attractions would be fantastic!

Any suggestions?
Please let me know which one you would choose, i have looked all over the web and they all look nice, but I'd like to get feedback from people who have been there.

Any help is appreciated, THANK YOU

I would suggest the Tara Suites at Bucuti - hands down. They discourage children, and it's the perfect place for a romantic honeymoon. However, they don't offer AI. Personally, my opinion is that there are so many restaurants to choose from in Aruba that doing AI doesn't give you the full experience. There is a casino across the street, shopping, and restaurants nearby. You can always take a cab or bus into downtown or over to Palm Beach to check out the nightlife in the hotels.

When checking any of the AI resorts (Riu, Occidental, Divi, Tam, to name a few), you'll have to check with them to see if they have all of what you are looking for in a room, i.e., private jacuzzi. I don't know enough about many of those places offering that. Staying on Palm Beach or Eagle Beach will each give you a different experience.

I suggest you also check the reviews on Trip Advisor to see where honeymooners have stayed. Good luck!

we were there sept3-19th on our honeymoon

we absolutley loved the riu.!!!!BEAUTIFUL PLACE and all-inclusive. the people are extremely friendly and love to feed you those drinks.....we were there 2 years ago and stayed at the la cabana which we loved too but its not all-inclusive. we recommend the riu but make sure you still explore some of the resturaunts on the island they are incredible: madame janets, driftwood,texas de brazil,and pirates nest. also if you like to drink &snorkle definatley do the jolly pirates!!!so much fun and really resonable priced.make sure to visit baby beach the clearest water and not alot of people either.and most of all have fun and watch as many sunsets you can and never forget the sand between your toes!!!!
