I've done a lot of research, and will hopefully be able to take a trip down there Novemeber 2009. It looks like you're all considering a variety of resorts. My top choice is/are the Divi/Tamarijn All-Inclusive. I have seen some bad pictures of the rooms and bathrooms on the internet, but I believe there have also been rennovations since then. Has anyone been there to be able to confirm this? I also really like the Manchebo and Amerstadam Manor. Amsterdam Manor is actually my personal favorite, but the more offerings of the Divi/Tam seem to work better for the varied tastes of my guests. All opinions/information is welcome! I'm excited to have this forum to share experiences! Welcome and Congrats! Divi/Tamarijn was on my list when I wanted an all inclusive option. The pictures of their weddings look beautiful and I hear the wedding coordinator Lisse Lample from Ceremonies & Celebrations in Aruba does an excellent job.. She also works for other resorts like Amsterdam Manor and Manchebo. I initially contacted her in March and she responded quickly. I got an email from her a few days ago to follow up with me. I agree that Divi/Tam look good because of the varied options for guests. When I sopke to a TA he said a lot of people who go there either really like it or do not like it so with the mixed reviews he didn't want to recommend it. But it's good that you can actually do a site visit to see which part of the resort is the best. I wouln't completely trust all of the reviews on tripadvisor. Everyone has different tastes. Manchebo and Amsterdam Manor look nice but I didn't go with them because they were smaller resorts. Amsterdam Manor was featured in a recent article in the Destination Weddings and Honeymoon magazine about budget friendly hotels. I can't offer personal feedback on any of the resorts because I've never been to Aruba. Good Luck!
