Has anyone been there since completed. Just wondering what it looks like in Main Aruba Tower, lobby and guest rooms. Can't wait to get back in July. My husband and I have been there the past 2 years and every time at least one of the towers were closed and it was like you were on your own tropical island due to low vacationers at resort. Is it a lot more crowded now. Thanks
