Went to Aruba for my Honeymoon. It was the first all inclusive trip for both me and my wife. This was by far one of the best experiences in my life. I had the time of my life. From the time we arrived in the hotel we were greeted with drinks. They had staff ready to welcome all the guest... more

Before I went to Aruba, I read many of the reviews that were posted on this site. Some were good, some bad, some horrible. I have just come from a relaxing week with a family of 5. I am 48, wife 45, kids, 18, 18 and 13. We had two Jr. suites on the 10th floor. The only thing that... more
