Going in feb w/ kids ages 8 and 5. Any comments about the Marriot ocean club? Comments on the kids programs?

Might want to also post this under "all topics" and at the bulletin board at www.visitaruba.com

We went last Feb with our 2 kids 9 and 4. They loved it. My 4 yr old loved feeding the Iguanas everyday at the Marriott. The pool is great. They loved having a chocolate smoothie drink at the pool bar. It was the highlight of the day. Also bring quarters for the game rooms. Very safe for the kids. I felt comfortable sending up my 9yr old with her friend to the room to get something. We just loved it there and cant wait to go back. We did sneak over to the Hyatt and use the water slide one day. You can also walk over there and see the beauti ful exotic birds. The kids love that. Have fun.

We are also staying there at the Marriot Ocean Club with children. We haven't been there but have stayed at other Marriot Vacation Club properties. They always have lots of activities going on for kids and families during the day. In addition, for an extra fee you can make a reservation for your children to go to the kids program they offer. This is just for them and meant for parents to have adult time. You can make a reservation for the day or just for the evening. We plan on doing it for one or two evenings so we can check out the casino.

defintly try and go parasailing i think your kids will love it! I went parasailing for my first time when i was 5 too
