i am going to the tam in mid-april,,,do they keep the kids pretty busy?

See www.megaresorts.com and click on the link for kids program and what they do.

Hi - I tried to find the link for the kids program on the site you recommended and I can't find it. I am arriving on April 23 - first time to Aruba and I absolutely cannot wait. I have an 11 year old daugher and was also wondering about the kids programs. We are staying at the Tam also.

after going to megaresorts.com, click on family and then there is info on the kids club.

Families receive these special inclusions in addition to the regular Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive vacation features:

Hi CJ,

We stayed at the Tam in March 2004 – specifically because we ware bringing our 11-year-old son. We thought that we would be able top do “our thing” – soaking up the sun – while he had ample kid time.

This didn’t happen as expected.

There were three kids (3) that showed up for beach soccer. Not much fun.
Making the bead iguana was good for about half an hour.

It seems like the amount of fun in “kids club” depends on the amount of kids that show up.

Having said that, my son enjoyed eating at the snack bars & climbing on the rock wall.
In addition to swimming in the pool & floating on the ocean.
Also enjoyed the numerous iguanas.

(Got an “eye full” of the large Dutch women sunbathing sans tops)

We liked the Tam Ok enough but are going non-inclusive this year.
