We, 2 adults and a 3-years old, are planning to go to Aruba a week of Aug15-20 from Boston. We want to save some money and not buy all-inclusive. Are there hotels that have kitchenettes? Ideally that would be a hotel with all amenities of a resort: beach, pool, water sports, restaurants plus a kitchenette in the room so we don't have to buy all-inclusive and don't have to eat out 3 times a day. Thank you for any information.

We stay at LaCabana every year and everything you are looking for is included
there, as I'm sure they are at a few other resorts (mainly time shares) Good Luck and have a great trip fellow Bostonian.

Rent any timeshare unit and you will have a kitchen.

Casa del Mar and Costa Linda are 2.
But these are timeshares and your normal travel agent may not have weeks there.

I stay at "The Mill Resort And Suites" when I go to Aruba. All the rooms have a kitchen and it is a very family friendly resort. Two great pools, a very nice outdoor restraunt, and an exceptional staff. They will go above and beyond to make your stay special. A short walk across the street to the beach, butterfly farm in walking distance and your 3 yr. old is sure to enjoy. On top of all that, very inexpensive! www.millresort.com
Have a great time, you will want to return as soon as you leave!
GO RED SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would recommend renting a timshare from someone on this board. You'll get everything you want at a cheaper price than booking directly through the hotel.

All time-share resorts have kitchens or kitchenettes, in most cases studios have the kitchenettes and a one-bedroom or two-bedroom will have a full kitchen.

We, too stayed at LaCabana in May with our kids and it was perfect! Have fun!!!

LaCabana is your best bet but any time-share will get you a kitchen.

Another possibility is Amsterdam Manor which is small and quiet and has kitchens.
