Wyndham Aruba or the Raddisson??

I am on expedia and i am going on my honeymoon. We were going to go to maui but it is very expensive. We decided on Aruba but need a good choice. These are the only 4 star hotels listed and i cant decide which one. Thanks!

Hi Francine!
I am acutally going to Aruba sometime in March/April..we havent decided yet where to stay..but I have been hearing really good things about the Radisson..if you do a search on here under "Radisson Aruba" you are sure to find many opinions..and they all seem to be very positive! Also, go under "rant and raves" and go to the hotel section..there are also reviews under there as well..

hope this helps and have a wonderful honeymoon!

I would choose neither and instead pick the Radisson...great resort!!!
In a nutshell, the Renaissance is on the busy main drag in town has has no beach on-site and the Wyndham is full of kids and adjacent to the public beach.

I bet you all will have fun though!

Definitely eat at El Gaucho...best meal we had in Aruba. Best stak (Argentinian beef) I have ever tasted. The filet was to die for. And be suure to get a pitcher of Sangria.

Madame Janette's was also good but more of a romantic atmosphere.

We never made it to the Flting Fishbone but go there if you can (you'll need a car to get there...cab afre would be really high).

For light food (outstanding little made ot order pizzas with all kinds of toppings) and good happy hour drinks go to Kokoas...on the end of the DePalm Pier right next to the Radisson. This is a great place to watch the sunset too.

Also be sure to do the Kukoo Kunuku Party bus...it was a blast!

let me know if I can answer any more questions....
