Thread: Trip to AUA

Actually, we've hardly ever seen kids at HTR. I checked and it was 3 times in May and once in fall. School is still in session in May. We've been there 4 times and most of the ok reviews are from timeshare folks who don't take the all-inclusive pkg and object to the pitch. They have never bothered us. They ask on arrival and we decline--nuff said. The TS guests also get the cheapest low floor mangrove rooms and gripe about the view/bugs. If you're beachy, I can see objections due to the river effluence.

I aslo check sister site Family Getaway for pkgs (up to 4 people) and just use a pkg for 2. Massages, transfers, etc in many deals. We also liked Villa del Palmar north of hotel zone. The only ones I stay from are the mega resorts and Secrets (very small discounts)
I think Aruba is very expensive for non AI. There are always plenty of flights in May (watch Mom's Day, of course) Our local friends have trouble getting back from AUA now and then. (Comair retirees)
Keep us posted!

There are only 2 of us, I did spend about 2 hours on LuxuryLink, and they have some great deals for sure. The AI resort we got for the last week of May was 2300, that included a $500 airline discount, RT transfers, a couples massage, dinner for two on the beach, airfare (I didnt want to chance it with my seniority), and 5 days at the resort. We will definately have to check out the Hacienda in CUN.

Sat is the nonstop--they add more seasonally. DTW has some, along with MEM, MSP, and of course ATL has multiples. I just go to the DL.com map and start with CUN. Love those things!

LOL well I have heard of newlyweds having a family vacation/ honeymoon.

Congrats to you ATG-DL!

We honeymooned in Bonaire, which is similar to Aruba in climate. We chose it for reasons like you, that it is not crowded like typical honeymoon destinations. Great beaches, snorkeling, and diving, and very low key and quiet. Only issue is that there is currently only one flight per week.
We nonreved to our honeymoon and had zero issues. Flew LAS-FLL-MIA-CUR-BON-CUR-MIA-FLL-LAS.
Have fun wherever you go!
