Wyndham Resort (now Westin)

November 5 - 11, 2003 by Tom Hultine

My wife and I recently visited Aruba, Nov. 5- 11. (Not long enough!)

It is one beautiful place, the best beaches I've ever seen, and I grew up in FL and have visited a few other Caribbean islands. Maybe it's the atmosphere, very cordial and laid back, a very friendly place. Maybe it's the less humid weather, intensely hot sun, the way the sand doesn't get too hot, a combo of good things that just came together for us to make a very enjoyable trip. We stayed at the Wyndham, and must say the experience was excellent. The resort is well maintained, the staff was helpful and friendly, the restaurants we ate at on site were very good, especially Blossoms. We went snorkeling, horseback riding and sailing, there's a tendency to want to do too much - doing nothing but soaking up rays, swimming and partaking of unlimited Aruba Aribas can make for a pretty good day too.

Like Ahnold, we'll be back. It's made New England weather tough to deal with - it's 38'F out now with gray skkies. Yuck ! We'd like to make Aruba an annual event. A happy island, indeed. A great beach destination. And the iguanas are interesting too.
