Radisson Aruba Resort
Hotel Information: The Radisson Aruba Resort, Casino and Spa is a 5.5-hectare (14-acre) resort embracing Aruba's trade wind breezes, with cushioned, open-air seating arrayed on polished fieldstone floors. It features expansive gardens, waterfalls, and freshwater fish ponds between buildings and the beach. Couples and families come to the hotel from around the world.
Amenity highlights: A wide sand swath leading to the beach separates two large, free-form, zero-entry pools--one for activities and the other for quiet relaxation.
The Radisson Aruba Resort, Casino and Spa's 457-meter (1,500-ft) section of 3 km (2 mi) Palm Beach includes thatched shades on the broad, deep, and nearly white beach lapped by the turquoise Caribbean Sea.
Rental water-sports gear is available along the beach. Snorkeling, scuba diving, and sailing excursions and cruises leave from the beach. A water-sports center offers scuba-diving lessons and trips.
Insider tip: This Aruba resort's parrots and macaws are removed from cages in late mornings and can be perched on guests shoulders for photo opportunities.
The Radisson Aruba Resort, Casino & Spa offers 353 guestrooms and suites in three towers of four, six, and eight stories. Rooms and suites provide a tropical ambiance of pale-yellow walls, white ceilings, crown molding, brightly colored prints, marble entries, and carpets.
Tropical wood furniture and trim include mahogany-and-wicker beds, armoires, and chairs with pull-out footstools. Beds feature two tall posts at their heads and two short posts at their feet, all elaborately carved. Televisions show U.S. cable channels.
All guestrooms and suites include balconies furnished with teak chairs and cocktail tables, and separated from rooms by both sliding glass doors and folding, louvered wood doors that offer privacy and natural cooling as an alternative to air conditioning.
