We will be going to Aruba for the first time next fall. Since we are bringing our two teen sons, we are looking for an all-inclusive. There is a big price difference between the Tamarjin and Wyndham, (Wyndham a lot higher). Any input on either hotel will be helpful.

The Tamarijn is the best place. Rooms are 15 feet from the beach. Kids under 18 stay and eat for free. They have a website at www.megaresorts.com

You may consider renting a timeshare at LaCabana.

i am a single parent traveling to aruba on my daughter's april vacation. also, bringing a friend of hers along with us. i chose the wyndham all inclusive package for the 3 of us. my main reasons are i enjoy the high rises, makes me feel like i'm on vacation and not at a cottage, love the assortment of places to eat, etc. i think the extra money towards the wyndham is well worth it. i have found places like the tam to be more of a "cottage" feel. plus, i like to be pampered on vacation.
