My soon-to-be wife and I will be traveling to Aruba for our honeymoon on May 16-22. We are set on Aruba because of the beautiful beaches, but we are still up in the air on where exactly to stay. I was hoping to get some recommendations on good honeymoon resorts, costa rica travel magazines etc. At the top of our list is the Bucuti Resort on Eagle Beach (which I know is not a timeshare unit), but it's a little pricey. Please feel free to recommend any other places with good honeymoon atmosphere. Thanks in advance!! Jason
I moved your other post from the timeshare category to General Where to Stay The timeshare category is jam packed with listings for rentals and sales and your post would very very quickly be lost. I responded to that post in regards to timeshares.
Eagle/ Manchebo/Druif Beaches can have some waves, at other times it will be dead calm and lake like. Water all over the island is blue, warm and refreshing. From Eagle Beach to Druif Beach, you will find wide, long and very white beaches. Because of its width and length it will be less crowded than Palm Beach. costa rica travel magazines There is less boat activity, costa rica travel magazines so the water is clearer. Thought admittedly, there are other islands such as the Bahamas which do have clearer water. The water clarity in Aruba varies from day to day but as divers I can say it is rarely perfect .
Aruba is a windy island with average tradewinds of 17 mph. A positive of Palm Beach is that it is less windy here because costa rica travel magazines the wind is blocked costa rica travel magazines by most of the resort's buildings. costa rica travel magazines Palm Beach is also long and white, but narrower costa rica travel magazines and the resorts are larger. The beach here is more crowded, but in my mind, crowding is relative. If you grew up at the Jersey shore like I did, Palm Beach will not be that bad. Overall the area is much more congested in comparison to Eagle Beach. costa rica travel magazines Street side along Palm Beach there is a number of restaurants, costa rica travel magazines shops and bars. If activities are a must have within walking distance you will have everything you need right in the Palm Beach area. Within walking distance on Palm Beach you will also find seven casinos at the following resorts- Marriott Stellaris, Holiday Inn SunSpree, Hyatt, Occidental, Radisson, Riu and Westin.
Palm Beach also is the only location for four star resorts. At this time there are no five star resorts on the island. Four star resorts include the Marriott Stellaris, costa rica travel magazines Hyatt Regency, Radisson, Riu All Inclusive and Westin. Traveling on a budget, for a stay on Palm beach you may want to consider costa rica travel magazines the Holiday Inn SunSpree. costa rica travel magazines Do not let the name fool you. Thought not 4 star, this is not your parent's costa rica travel magazines Holiday Inn.
For quiet, less crowds, wider beaches then Eagle/ Manchebo/Druif Beaches would be your choice. If you were staying here without an all inclusive package, costa rica travel magazines a rental car would most likely be a good idea. This will give you transportation to dinner each evening as well as shopping trips into downtown Oranjestad and a day of driving around the island and doing some sightseeing.
