i visited arubalisa and family last week @ the TAM.

they were in the 1300 building and it seemed pretty darn good location to me.
close to the beach................fall out the slider door and there you are! or take a few steps towards the 1200 block of buildings and the beach has even easier access.

they were very close to the hub (restaurants/pool/bar/lobby)
if i were to stay at the Tam, i'd probably ask for the 1300 area.

we have stayed at the Tam before and have always been in the 1800(towards bunker bar)

Best part of the beach is 1900 to 2500 blocks. 1st floor best over 2nd floor. these rooms are also the furthest from main area of restaurants, but bunker beach bar is near them for short walk for drinks---open from 11 AM to 7 PM. See www.geocities.com/thefeel2002 for pix.

also see www.depalm.com for land/sea tours. try kukuu kunukoo dinner bar hopper bus, tattoo party boat, depalm disover aruba bus tour--take 9 am one when it is cooler out. wear bathing suit under shorts--as you finish tour at baby beach snorkeling. they privide pipe and glass. Might want to try Palm Pleasure sunset cruise too.

I would suggest 1100 to 1300 blocks if you want to be near the restaurants, lobby, sports area, bars, etc, and the 2100 to 2500 blocks if you want a quieter area of beach (still near the bunker bar as others have said). I would suggest a first floor room so you can walk right out to the beach. Have fun!
