pwpep,
Welcome to Flyer Talk ! I haven't stayed at the Marriott Aruba, but I have had lunch and dinner there. The hotel is beautiful,and I did look at the rooms, which are spectacular. Nice casino, excellent high end Northern Italian Restaurant ( I forget the name) and nice grounds. The only possible downside is that the Marriott Hotel and Marriott Vacation Club, which is next door, are pretty much off by themselves. We stayed at the Hyatt which is right on the strip of hotels. The Marriott rooms are much nicer than the Hyatt Rgency Club, but I prefer the pools and slide at the Hyatt. Congratulations and enjoy.

Bob
