Our family will have its last spring break together in 2005. we've been to aruba before and had a great time at the hyatt. if we return to aruba, we'd stay there again, no doubt. however, I'd like input on which 2 of the three islands you all would recommend for this longer trip. We all scuba now, play golf, don't gamble and want comfortable lodging on a good beach with or without a pool (I've heard that Curacao and Bonaire usually have one or the other). The boys will be 16 and 18 at the time of the trip. thanks!
ABC islands - 11 days - which 2?

For scuba divers Bonaire may be a better choice. We have been to Curacao but do not scuba. As for the island itself it is pretty laid back. Phillipsburg is pretty nice but compared to Aruba it is sedate. I have heard Bonaire is sedate compared to Curacao. Hope this helps.
Aruba and Bonaire
Any suggestions for lodging on Bonaire? I think the Plaza is beyond our budget....
