Honeymoon in Aruba

Quick Tips:

Best Way To Get Around:

On your other days, rent a car! Taxis are expensive for normal getting around, and the buses run on a slow and slower schedule. If you miss a bus once, you will wait sometimes for a half-hour for the next.

I highly recommend trying the Grouper sandwich at Gilligans, their restaurant located on the beach. Also if you get a chance check out their drink menu, it's huge. Order a frozen alligator for me!!

We ate breakfast every morning at Laguna's, the buffet is plentiful, and I would also recommend getting a "breakfast plan" with your stay. It helps to cut the costs of the day as well as taking care of one meal with no worry. Due to the Caribbean climate we normally only eat breakfast, then a late-day snack before going to a restaurant for dinner.

We personally had many troubles with our stay, which led to the Radisson giving us the certificate that we used for our England stay. There were check-in problems as well as housekeeping and concierge issues.

But having said that, many others that we have spoken to and read about had no troubles and enjoyed every minute of their vacations.

The staff cannot accommodate you enough, as the service and food is impeccable. Check them out online (flyingfishbone.com) before you go. You can make a reservation yourself or have your concierge do it from the hotel. Give them a few day’s notice at least. as the tables by the water for sunset book up fast.

Food recommendations : We loved it all! We shared it all. Crabmeat, Apple & Celery Salad for an appetizer, Shrimp Shii-take & Blue Cheese Casserole for one of the main courses, Grilled Scallops for the other main course, and for dessert - Crème Brûlée. Not to be a bore, but my husband and I have a "thing" for Crème Brûlée and try it at least once wherever we go. Flying Fishbone does it well.

He explains the area and is very informed. Although the company is from Seattle, WA, Mike runs it and spends half or more of the year on the island. You can get some pictures that can only be taken from up above that will stun your friends and family!!
