Deciding on Aruba
 
Have vacation in October and want to go to Aruba. I have some questions: How is the weather in October?? Also I am thinking of the radisson as they have balconies and that is important to me but I heard the rooms are small there. Could anyone tell me. Also how is the Wyndham?

The Wyndham is also a good choice. Great service at the pool (they come by with ice water, cool water spritzes, personal CD players and frozen fruit kabobs).

All the hotels on Palm Beach have full balconies with the exception of the Hyatt which only has 'french balconies' (large enough to just stand on).

Weather in Aruba is pretty consistent year round and when we've gone in October we never had a problem.

Try checking out the packages at http://www.travelunlimited.com as they specialize in Aruba and have great rates and service to match.

Weather should be fine on October. One of the locals told me it is less breezy than ususal in October.

Radisson's rooms were great...not small at all.

We've been there in October and the weather was very good (sunny and warm). There was a slight breeze that gave the impression the sun wasn't beating too hard. My husband got burnt in a day. So don't forget your sunscreen.

The Wyndham has a mold problem. I read posts before going that mentioned this, and we experienced it first hand when we visited the hotel and went to the top floor to see the view. The moldy odor was quite bad as soon as we got off the elevator.
