Aruba Hyatt or Marriott?
 
I'm planning my honeymoon and want to choose the best place to stay, since I want our experience to be, close to perfect. Not to mention that I'm very picky and discriminating about the places I stay. Also, I've heard that people from other hotels use the Hyatt's pool? And that their rooms are small? Hyatt vs. Marriott. I need some selective advice!

Hi Dana,<BR><BR>I stayed at the Hyatt for my honeymoon and it was absolutley amazing! The grounds are beautiful with black swans, parrots, flowers, fountains... The pool is also very very nice. <BR><BR>The Hyatt rooms do not have balconies. I am a big balcony person and I thought that this would bother me but in all honesty it was just fine. You can step out to see the view but there is not enough room for a full chair. Many people seem to feel as passionatley about the Radisson as I do the Hyatt as it just underwent millions of dollars of renvations.<BR><BR>It was almost too bad that we stayed the Hyatt, because now I cannot stay anywhere else without making comparisons :)<BR><BR>Oh, also they put fresh roses and rose petals on our bed everynight... I could go on, email me if I can help anymore<BR><BR>:)Ruby

The Marriott is FANTASTIC!!!<BR>The resort is adjacent to Marriott's Aruba Ocean Club, which is a timeshare worth seeing. The property has a large lagoon pool,with swim-up bar. And the beach is a few steps away. There's a casino,fine dining,on and off property and many other amenities.

Having stayed at the Marriott we would not go back. IMHO, it's a toss up b/t Hyatt & Radisson ....and, I mean it! Flip a coin: You cannot go wrong b/t the 2!!!<BR>Congratulations!

Thanks everyone for responding. DIana, would you not go back to the Marriott bacause you stayed there and would want to try some place else, or because there was something about it that you didn't like?
