Can anyone suggest where to stay with two kids ages 5 and 2? My husband and I also would like to stay somewhere with or near a casino. Thinking about Lacaba or Costa Linda, how far is the beach really at Lacabana? Suggestions please?

La Cabana! We booked a timeshare for a week in March and had the best time. Lots of families, and the beach is great.

Have fun!

TAMARIJN. the beach is 15 feet from your patio, kids under 18 stay and eat for free. Free golf cart ride to alhambra casino and divi aruba beach resort or walk 10 minutes to casino. see www.meagresorts.com for info and someone site for pix at www.geocities.com/THEFEEL2002

Ditto on the Tamarijn.

Tamarijn is perfect.

Have been going to Aruba for 26 years now
and by far the best place for you and your kids is Palm Beach. Nice hotels are Hyatt, Radisson or Marriot.
Every hotel has a nice casino and for kids this the nicest beach on the island.
Enjoy!

We just returned from the LaCabana and loved it! We actually visited someone staying at the Tam and it seemed really dirty to us. The LaCabana has three pools and activities for the kids. They will make friends to play with, too. It was great!

The beach is just across the street from Lacabana. You must wait for the traffic to cross, which is not a problem, and then you're there.

the holiday inn and great for kids and the beach is right off the hotel i went there 4 yrs ago with my at the time 5yr old and 11 month old boys and we are returning in july

the holiday inn is a really good place for kids too.
