Aruba- Raddisson or Wyndham?

I know the Raddisson is nice but the wyndham is 800 cheaper- which is very appealing. Should i spend the extra for my honeymoon- or is the wyndham fine?<BR>HELP PLEASE!!!

Stayed at the Radisson and LOVED it. Toured the Wyndham while there and it is OK but no Radisson. For a honeymoon splurge and enjoy the Radisson. Fantastic pools and the best beach location. Grounds are beautiful as well. Large rooms with balconies that are actually large enough to sit on, unlike the Hyatt. Enjoy.

Although the Radisson is somewhat more upscale, the Wyndham is an excellent hotel with all the amenities. Assuming you're talking about a difference of $800 for a week, I would say the Radisson is not worth an extra $100/night. They're both on Palm Beach; the Wyndham has a great pool and its rooms have been remodeled recently.<BR><BR>

Wouldn't you think there may be a reason for the $800 difference!!!!!!!!!It is like comparing apples and oranges.

PJ, It's worth it! (about $15/wk for one year!...if that makes it more palatable for you!!!) Go for it!!

no question- -stayed at Radisson last November - MUCH nicer than Wyndham - beach was much bigger, no problem getting a palapa, pools at radisson are so unique - - go for the Radisson - -they probably have a food & beverage credit going right now - -so ask for that and it may take some of the sting out. I was not impressed w/Wyndham. Have a GREAT time!!

Stay at the radison, I was at both in Jan. 02. It is a nicer resort. Why dont you stay 4 days at each?

I think the Wyndham is a far better value for the money. The only rooms at the Radisson that have a decent view are the most expensive. The standard rooms at the Wyndham even have a nice oceanview. The extra money you spend at the Radisson could pay for your wonderful dinners. That makes more sense to me.

The Radisson...don't mess around. If you are willingto spend the money to go to Aruba you might as well stay at the best resort on the island.

We stayed at the Aruba Marriott 3 times within 2 years. We went for our honeymoon, 1 year anniversary and for my college graduation. We LOVED it. It is more affordable than the Radisson, and it is VERY romantic. It has a waterfall in the swimming pool and they treat you like royalty. I would definitely recomend this resort, we will be going back AGAIN for the 4th time this October.<BR><BR>Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!!

My family and I stayed at the Wyndham last year. We also toured the Raddisson. Everyone prefered the Wyndham by far. It was a wonderful time. The rooms are very nice. We were on the "non-view side" but it was nicer than views in other resorts. The pool, beach, restaurants were all excellent. I'd definitely recommend the Wyndham over the Raddisson.

Just returned from Aruba and visited the Wyndham Resort-really nice hotel with excellent restaurants, save the money, stay at the Wyndham and enjoy watersports and dining at the hotel and around the island. Rent a car, it's easy to drive. We're returning to Aruba later this year and staying at the Wyndham--we were that impressed.

Hi, I went to Aruba in Aug 2001 for our 2nd honeymoon I stayed at the Wyndham and I would definitly stay there again. I went thru the same thing,when I was trying to figure out where to stay. Wyndham is a true high rise hotel amazing sunsets and ocean view. The raddison has more gardens and is more lush but I think the lowest catogory room at the radisson would be something like garden view...And to me why would you spend the extra $$,,Unless money is no object. Stay at Wyndham and go into town and buy yourself diamond earrings or something. Good luck on your wedding.<BR>
