Bring sunglasses. It is very gritty. Sand everywhere. I wear contacts so it was not top on my list of places (I have been there 3 times). It is so very beautiful though that it is worth it!
Do not shop on the main street. The best deals are found about a street in from any main thoroughfare. They are more willing to haggle.
We first stayed at the Tamarijn Aruba Beach Resort (All Inclusive). But we ate out so much it may not be worth it. But it is your HONEYMOON and you guys will be ordering in A LOT! lol So it would be perfect.
We also stayed at Radisson Aruba Resort & Casino. FUN! Beautiful. But a little pricey. They have a marriott and a HOLIDAY Inn there!
I watched hubby go kite boarding that was interesting but I am too chicken. I like horseback riding, but Lord, it was hot!
Thanks, he already booked the airfare so now we just need a hotel. I wanted to go to an island somewhere nice and very romatic. I also wanted to do a lot water sports. Out of the three which one would you say is the most romatic?
Definately the radisson. I eally loved the grounds and the restatants! The rooms are prettier too. Find a deal at hotels.net or call the hotel directly. You sabe a lot. Remember to mention you just got married!
Rosetta, my wedding is the first weekend in May. I have checked the website you gave me and some other but somehow they do not have anything for the dates I'm looking for. Do you have is that normal? I have tried three different websites.
There may be a conference or some type of special engagement going on at that time. When I called about my (first) wedding date the resort told me they could not give me group rates because it is president's week and a lot of people vacation there at that time. So you may want to call a toll free number and tell them what is going on and they should be able to give you an answer.
I'm letting my FH pick our honeymoon and this seems to be his top pick so far. Occidental Hotel Aruba It looks beautiful and the honeymooners perks are great.

Askalot, have you thought about staying in the states for your honeymoon? Or maybe Mexico? They are usually cheaper than going to an island.

There's no where in the States that we're interested in (except maybe Vegas). Also, we will probably not take our honeymoon, honeymoon until March or so. But, we're definately going somewhere after the wedding, where I don't know. If we could find someone reasonable for right after the wedding, then we'd go on our honeymoon then.
Thanks DW. I will give them a call. I have been so busy with the other wedding stuff and my fh been busy with the new house he bought that we kind of put the hm aside. However I do need to get on top of things. Because after all this planning I am going to need a nice hm.
[quote="DWBride"]Maybe you can try the "Outer Banks" or the Brunswick Islands of North Carolina?

DW you are awesome. I've never even heard of these islands. I'm going to check them out, I'm look for somewhere to go for our first anniversary next year. Thanks for sharing.

Hi ladies, no DW I did not check into the dates anymore. I've been having drama this whole month. So I have not been really getting anything with the wedding accomplish. I really want to tell my FH to lets just cancel the wedding. Satan is really trying to ride my back. Everytime I can a step ahead he push me back. I thanks GOD that I know him and know that he will work it out. I know the time is almost here so I'm will be checking into the HM information very soon. My PC is out of commison so it might take me a while to respond but I will.
KMED, I can tell you must be getting close to somthing relly good that's when the devil tends to show his face...whatever/whoever that face might be. Keep praying, and continue with all of your hard work in getting this wedding up and running. I don't know the datils of the drama, but I will advise you, DON'T you dare cancel this wedding! All of the stress, frustration, aggravation, irritation with whatever/whoever WILL be worth it. "Get behind me Satan" are words to live by. I'll be praying for you that things get easier.
update: Our travel agent warned us about Aruba because we want to relax on our honeymoon. Alot of places in Aruba have a lot of night life and casinos. We are going to Royal Hideaway Playacar in Riviera Maya Mexico instead. It's beautiful and we get a romantic dinner on the beach. :) I can't wait!

Be encouraged KMED, it's good that you know God and can trust Him to work things out! The enemy will show his ugly head to discourage you, but Ms.Boston put it so well tell the devil to get behind you!!!! The enemy is against families and was from the very beginning of time, but he is a liar and you and your future hubby have the victory. I experienced many frustrating times when I was planning, but I surrendered to God and He worked it out and I am so happy!

Thank you soooooooooooo much ladies. GOD is so good that he know how to place his people together. Because who would of thought that I would be getting spiritual advice from the women on this site. Thank you I will keep pressing. I know that this is just a test and if I don't pass it, GOD will allow me to go through it again. Msboston if you go under weekend drama it will tell you a little of the drama I was going through that GOD is working out know. Thank you for keeping me in your prayers and I will do the same for you all. I truley believe that prayer changing things and that why we must always pray.
One thing that I've learned is that God can speak you in ways you could never have imagined. We just have to learn to take the time to recognize his word. Stay encouraged!

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Aruba. Not only becuase, that is where he proposed to me - but the island is beautiful. We stayed at the Occidental Grand and the resort is one of the best on the island. When you go to Aruba (The Happy Island)you gotta go to this beautiful restaruant on the water called The Flying Fishbone. This is where he proposed to me. I love the restaruant, the food is great and you can't beat the ambiance. Check it out... www.flyingfishbone.com
I just went on that website and the scenery is beautiful. I forgot which islands we where going to stop at on our cruise, but unfortunatey aruba isnt one of them. I guess that will have to be a first anniversary trip.
Aruba honeymoons, Luxury Honeymoon in aruba by Unforgettable Honeymoons- Overlooking the gorgeous aquamarine Caribbean Sea, the new Occidental Grand Aruba is located on the exclusive sands of Palm Beach. The resort will boast 341 Deluxe Rooms and Suites and 50 Royal Club level rooms and suites (all ocean view), featuring private balconies with breathtaking views.

Ladies, please keep all of the honeymoon places coming. I'm looking for somewhere now. Why can't they have honeymoon packages for around $1500? lol
Lol, don't we all wish.
