Hi,
If you want the best of both worlds, stay at the Occidental. Its right next door to the Radisson. They have a swim up bar and a really nice beach. You could stay in an oceanfront condo for probably 1/2 of what you're paying for a hotel room at the Radisson. I'll be happy to send you pictures if you'd like.
I own a one bedroom OCEANFRONT condo (timeshare) at Occidental for the weeks of 11/8 and 11/15. I'm charging $1400 a weekf for the unit. It has furnishings similar to the Radisson decor and daily maid service.
I can guarantee you won't get an view like this one at the Radisson.

ps. I own several weeks of timeshare for rental purposes only. I go to Aruba for about 10 weeks a year. Occidental and Costa Linda are the best resorts on the island. Marriott is too crowded and too far away from everything. Costa Linda is on the best beach but too far.
