Any recommendation on all inclusive or places to stay?

I would not do AI in Aruba, too many options and it's easy and safe to get out. We've always have stayed at either Marriott Surf Club or Marriott Stellaris. My favorite beach vacation, relax and tons of places to walk to for lunch and or dinner (all depending on where you stay).

My experience with A-I in Aruba is, the drinks are made with really cheap liquor and just a splash of it. The restaurants are average, at best. The service is probably worse than non-AI.

Just got from Aruba in Feb. I agree on not doing an AI. There are so many things to do on the Island, I would hate to be stuck at one beach. Also, go to Baby Beach. It was my favorite. There is a great FB group call "I Love Aruba". It has lots of tips and travel advice and I found it to be a great resource for all things Aruba.

Eat at Flying Fishbone and Faro Blanco (at the lighthouse on the northern tip). Both are slightly expensive but wholly worth it both for the food and views. Try to go at sunset but you’ll need reservations at least a couple weeks in advance.
Rent a car and drive the island. There are a few beaches that are amazing if you get out of the hotel zone, particularly Mangel Halto and Baby Beach. Both are on the southwest side of the island.
The east side is the “wild” side. There are ATV tours that will traverse that side and I highly recommend it if you get tired of just hanging on the beach and want something different.
