Flying Fishbone ranks higher than OM&TS. http://www.restaurantsaruba.com/topten.html with many, many more reviews. I would keep Passions, their atmosphere is just a tad different than the other two and the food is reasonable $$$ (for Aruba), considering you are dining on the beach, as well as delicious.

The other two dinners will run you much more $$$

Trip Plans - Last minute advice please...

Here are our final trip details. I think it's scheduled enough to make the most out of our first trip, but not too much to take away from the much needed RELAX time! Does anyone have any additional suggestions? Where is the closest grocery store to the Renaissance Aruba Beach Resort and Hotel? Lings, Certified, or Kong Hings?

I decided to take the advice and ditched the reservation at TOMATS and scheduled Yemanji WoodFired Grill for Wednesday...I really appreciate the suggestion because of the close proximity of OMATS and FF. It seemed like FF was rated much higher and had many more reviews than TOMATS. SO thanks...Any last suggestion...Our flight leaves tonight at 11:45PM! Can't wait, but please give me some feedback on the itinerary

Saturday, September 19 - Arrive @ 3:45 PM Hotel Check In; check out private island, Happy Hour - Bugaloe Beach Bar and Grill– Dinner @ Wacky Wahoo

Sunday, September 20- Tour w Cerry 9A-12PM (***Natural Pools) Lunch – Brasas y Llenas; Hang at private island/snorkeling, Passions@ 6:30PM

Monday, September 21 - Aruba OffRoad (TOMCARS) 9AM – 1PM; Aruba Manor Beach Bar 5-6PM 2 for 1 drinks (BB Party) – get tips on Aruba

Tuesday, September 22 – Private Island Day; Yemanja Woodfired Grill @ 6:30PM

Wednesday, September 23 - ½ Day Luncheon Snorkel/Sail 9:15 – 1:15; Flying Fishbone (southwest seaside near Baby Beach) @ 6:30PM

Thursday, September 24th - Madame Janette @ 6:30PM
