My husband and I will be traveling to Aruba at the end of July for the first time. I am having trouble deciding between the Hyatt and Marriott. Any suggestions for a couples vacation without the kids?? Is the Hyatt worth the difference in price?

July in Aruba is going to be prime time for families with kids at either resort and on the island in general.

The Marriott's Tradewinds's Club has just announced a minimum age of 12 for their Tradewinds Club.

The Hyatt is also an excellent resort.

The Renaissance in downtown Oranjestad has an "adults only" tower and the Bucuti resort is probably the best bet for a child free vacation on the island.

My vote would be the Hyatt. My dream will be to stay there some day. The Marriott is great though. We usually stay at the Marriott b/c we can usually get a good deal there. The Hyatt has a better centralized location and is walking distance to most everything. The Marriott is too but it is much farther down and the walk can be long.
