I LOVED the Hyatt Aruba, since this is the kind of resort/experience I am looking for would Sandals be the kind of place I would like (apart from the A/I thing)

Tell us what it was that you liked about the Hyatt and that'll shed a lot of light on whether you'd like Sandals (of which there are several).

Thanks Kelly,<BR><BR>I loved the pool area, the overall feel of the resort...<BR>This resort is what I consider luxury, I know that some people feel almost the exact opposite and see this resort as a chain, americanaized busy place, but I just loved it. <BR><BR>I don't like millions of people buzzing around, but I also dont want a quiet hotel where I think I.m the only one there

Laura, from what you said, you may very well like Sandals. Now, pick an island. Some Sandals/Beaches are quiet and some are much more partying.

Laura,<BR>If you considered the Hyatt in Aruba to be a luxury experience than my guess would be that you would probably love Sandals.

The Hyatt may not be Cap Juluca but I agree with Laura. It's a great hotel, on a beautiful beach, with good restaurants.

We loved the Hyatt as well. Views, bar out on the dock for smoothies at sunset, great restaurants, activities if you want them; plenty of options to walk down the beach and find a quick meal - they had a TCBY in the hotel when we were there with awesome banana bread for breakfast. Good pool - the chairs in the shade go fast!
