Which one for which trip
- All-inclusive on the main strip: RIU Palace Antillas. It is on the beachfront at Palm Beach, so boat trips, casinos and restaurants are close. Also compare the other resorts in all-inclusive resorts in Aruba.
- Quiet and included breakfast: Bucuti & Tara. Eagle Beach is the wide beach with low-rise hotels; see Eagle Beach. It has private balconies or terraces and beach dinners, and it is not all-inclusive.
- All-inclusive away from the crowds: Secrets Baby Beach. Baby Beach is the calmest water on the island, near San Nicolas, whose murals are covered in San Nicolas. It is far from the north, so budget for a car or taxis.
- Self-catering couples: Boardwalk Boutique Hotel. Casitas with kitchens or kitchenettes, a dedicated beach area, and an adults-only pool.
- Overwater villas: Aruba Ocean Villas. Eight villas with plunge pools in Savaneta; on-site restaurant, snorkel gear, kayaks and paddleboards are provided.
- A mixed property: Renaissance Marina Hotel. Only a wing is adults only; meal plans run from room-only to all-inclusive, and a water taxi goes to Renaissance Island.
- Not strictly adults only: Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa. The tourism board leaves it out of its adults-only list: 72 rooms, two pools, four restaurants, an oceanfront spa and optional all-inclusive.
Planning the stay
Couples tend to combine the resort with a sunset sail and a half-day tour; see Aruba honeymoon ideas and the Aruba sunset cruise. To compare prices on your dates, use the hotel box on this page. For the area decision see where to stay in Aruba.
Typical mistakes
- Treating "adults only" as a rule for the whole hotel at the Renaissance: only the Marina Hotel's wing is.
- Choosing Secrets Baby Beach for nightlife; it is on the southeast coast, far from the Palm Beach bars.
- Booking Bucuti & Tara expecting all-inclusive; breakfast is included and "Dine Around" is optional.
