All inclusive recommendation
We are planning an anniversary trip with two other couples that we met on our honeymoon. We definitely want to go to an all-inclusive resort. We are leaning toward Aruba but are open to other options.
Has anyone stayed at the Occidental, Riu, or Divi in Aruba? If so, please let me know your thoughts.
Anyone have any AI resorts that they'd recommend?
Re: All inclusive recommendation
My H & I stayed at Secrets Capri in Playa Del Carmen for our honeymoon and absolutely loved it.
We went to Aruba too for a friend's wedding, but rented an apartment there....Aruba is amazing. Make sure you rent a car if you go...the island is small, but there's lots of great snorkeling spots around the island as well as excellent restaurants. If you like argentinian steakhouses, make sure you hit up El Gaucho
Thanks guys! One of the couples going has been to Aruba and stayed at the Riu. They loved it enough to want to go back, so that's what we're leaning toward at this point!
I do appreciate the feedback about secrets. I've been wanting to check those resorts out as well. Too bad there's not one in Aruba!
I know you said you wanted an AI in Aruba but I have to be honest. Aruba is probably one of the only island where I would not think of going AI. They have some of the most amazing food and restaurants you will ever try in the carribean. I just got back last week for the 6th time. With all that being said, if you have your heart set on an AI, of the ones you've mentioned, I'd go with the Riu. It has the best location and is the newest of the properties you've mentioned.
