Aruba: Radisson or Westin?
 
Hello,

I am planning a last minute trip to Aruba.

Trying to decide between Radisson and Westin.
Which has nicer: Rooms? Pool? Beachfront Area ( same beach, I know, but are Radisson & Westin on the same section of that beach? Is one better than the other...less crowded?)
Oceanfront Balconies? Restaurants? Not doing "All Inclusive" but wld like to have a nice restaurant on the property for breakfast and occassional dinner.

And, what is the Aruba Tower in the Radisson?

Hands down, the Radisson---much better location on the beach. The Westin seems to be an extremely windy part of the beach. We found on walking the beach, every time we got to the Westin, we would get a huge gust and sandblasted. This was on 2 different trips.

We haven't stayed at either, but have walked through the properties and again I would choose the Radisson.

Just one travelers opinion, good luck we'll be waiting for a trip report.

I too have heard that the Westin is the windiest spot on the beach. I would go with Radisson based on past poster reviews. Have fun. I would love a little aruba sunshine right now!
