Wyndam vs Radisson
 
My husband and I are going to Aruba in a couple of weeks.(Yippee...no kids) We can either stay in an oceanfront suite at the Wyndam or a guestroom at the Radisson. I personally prefer a nicer room.<BR><BR>Is the Radisson really THAT much better? <BR><BR>We will only be there for 4 nights. My tenative nightlife schedule, based on what I have read on these boards,is:<BR><BR>Tranquillo sunset cruise<BR>Madame Janettes and then a casino<BR>Flying Fishbones and then a casino<BR>Black Hog Saloon BBQ<BR><BR>Is there anything better that I am missing? <BR><BR>Also we want to rent a Harley to tour the island. Is it possible to tour the whole island (ie Baby Beach, the park, lighthouse....) on a motorcycle vs jeep? <BR><BR>Any insight that you can offer will be greatly appreciated.<BR><BR>

We're staying at the Wyndham in December-go with the Wyndham--that ocean view from your suite will be great! This is a very nice hotel--highly recommended.

I would choose the Wyndham over the Radisson for several reasons. The "standard" rooms at the Wyndham (5th-8th Floors) have a nice ocean view - the "standard" rooms at the Radisson do not. The Wyndham has several great restaurants - the Radisson does not. The Wyndham is less expensive than the Radisson. The Wyndham also has a great staff - the Radisson does not. I have stayed at both places and still prefer the Wyndham.

Thanks for the input. The Wyndam it is. Will let everyone know how it went.

Remember to sign up for the Windham by Request. Great many extras for free.
