Abc Islands

With great vacation weather year-round, Aruba is the perfect island destination for romantic honeymoons or great family fun. A newly-renovated resort has 417 rooms in a contemporary high-rise building set amid the landscaped grounds. Private balcony with Aruba island countryside view. Well, Aruba, is only 20 miles long and 6 miles wide, making it the smallest of the Dutch Caribbean, or “ABC” Islands (Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao). Aruba became a separate country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1986, yet the island retains much of its early Dutch character. With some of the most stunning resorts in the Caribbean, you need to visit this island at least once. Back in the ’80′s there were a few casinos and hotels. The cruise ships didn’t come often. But times have changed -- and tiny Aruba has taken a toll. For example, one Aruba resort is conveniently situated in a pure oceanfront environment right by the sugary sands of Palm Beach. The wide selection of activities and amenities make this Aruba Beach Resort the ultimate haven. Listings for accommodations & resorts to adventure travel & local attractions in Aruba are available all over the Three Best Beaches site.

Renting cars/jeeps is easy, and many rental companies provide pickup service from area hotels. The 18-hole championship golf course is the only one on the island and includes a full-length practice range putting greens chipping areas pro shop restaurant pool and clubhouse. Here, villas feature spacious living/dining rooms cable TVs, fully equipped kitchens with microwaves and dish washers, furnished patios and private pools with golf or island views, washers, dryers, irons ironing boards and daily maid service. And we found that for any reservations made with a golf package an additional 28 per person per round of golf played applies. Shaded picnic areas are open to the public, so lots of people like to pack a basket and park here for the day. During the weekend, locals often do the same.

Marriott’s site has all the restaurants, entertainment, beaches, and other amenities just a short walk away. Lots of prime restaurants and the cinema in the brand new shopping mall “Paseo Herencia.” And the Divi Phoenix was good. The restaurant at the hotel was supurb both for breakfast, lunch and especially dinner. I would definitely return to the Divi Phoenix on my next visit to Aruba.
