I did the cruise thing several times and one of the stops was Aruba. I decided that I would like to spend at least a week there for vacation in the future. Cruises make stops on island resorts but you really don't get to enjoy much due to time constraints. I say Resort.

We liked it...more than likely will go back for another long weekend this summer.


walking distance from more restaurants than you could eat at in 2 weeks

fun bar next door

starbucks one block away

walk to ferry to Cozumel

short cab ride to Puerto adventuras for fishing

xcaret close


it's a quick cheap thurs to monday trip for us. I can drop the kids off at school in the morning(lafayette) and be on the beach by 2PM same day

ETA: we don't do big all inclusive resorts so I can't help with those

It's worth every dollar. It's all inclusive and everything is top notch. I think the year we went the Spa was voted as the #1 spa in Mexico.

Resort for me.

quote:

Ado bus to Playa Del Carmen. Stay near 5th street.


There are some great resorts in Riviera Maya that are just a short cab ride away form Playa. We stayed at Secrets Maroma Beach last time we went and it was awesome. The swim up suite was the shite.

We haven't stayed in Playa yet, but I'm thinking about The Royal Playa del Carmen if we do.
