We stay at the Occidental (AI) because of the convenience national car rental anchorage alaska AND we love the people. It is nice to be able to go up to your room, after a day in the sun, relax, take a shower and then just go downstairs to eat. The food is very good. I must say we haven't had a bad meal there in 7 visits. The BEST steaks, and we live in Texas where I think the steaks national car rental anchorage alaska are great. I am sure the steaks are great on the whole island. Seafood is good too. Yes the drinks national car rental anchorage alaska are good too As for the 24 hour alcohol, not really. You do get beer in your fridge in your room. I think the last bar to close is at 2 a.m. but we aren't up that late--we are old. hahaha But trust me we get enough during the day. I must say that before we went to Aruba, we had been to Jamaica and St. Lucia and really didn't feel safe to go off the resort--Jamaica more than St. Lucia. Before I found this forum I felt Aruba would be the same--NOT. We have gone off the property and do feel safe. But still it is the convenience for us.
We managed to spend 2 wks @ Tamarijn and return home at nearly our identical beginning wieght. We did however walk the beach from Tam to Amsterdam Manor (approx 5.5 miles roundtrip) and back all but one morning.
If you like to drink go All Inclusive, as drinks can be a bit pricey in Aruba. There are not that many options for All-Inclusive. I have stayed at the Occidental and also the Westin(they offer an all Inclusive plan) My next trip will be for my Wedding in JUne and we have chosen the RIU. I thought they had more options for Dining national car rental anchorage alaska and drinks than the Occidental or the Westin wedding and the rates were about 30% lower than throught he hotel's website.
