Hyatt vs. Radisson
 
We are a couple in our early 30's looking for a great beach, pool, restaurants, some night life(not alot, shopping, excursions. We have priced both the Hyatt and the radisson and for the time we are going (June) the prices are very comparable. Can anyone help with this decision with high point/low points of each. Any input would be greatly apprecaited.
Thanks.

Sorry, but I thought I posted it under the Aruba section. It shows up in both general and Aruba.
Thanks!

I think the poster is talking about Aruba.

You can't go wrong with either. They are the 2 best properties on Palm Beach. I would give an edge to the Radisson though.

The grounds are beautiful (waterfalls, parrots, gardens, zero entry pool). And the rooms aren't your standard hotel decor...more of a British Caribbean feel.

Both sit on great beaches with little palapas for shade. The Radisson is next door to a cool litle place (Kokoa's) at the end of the DePalm Pier which is great for happy hour and watching the sunset. We met some of the nicest people there and they made really yummy drinks.

Hyatt does have more restaurants on site but that's not a big deal since they are walking distnace. Plus the best restaurtants aren't in the hotels anyway.

Have fun!
