Aruba...what to do?

My DH and I are taking a really short day trip (4 days) to Aruba for our 1 ear anniversary this June.

What are the "must do's" or "must sees" and resturants that we have to go to while there?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....

Also, we are staying at a time share in the low rise section.

Thanks, Carissa

Re: Aruba...what to do?

I would do some sort of tour (ATV or jeep) and maybe snorkeling/ sailing trip

For restaurants- Madame Janette's, Chef's Table and Le Dome are highly reccomended but I did not like Le Dome (too stuffy)

Id go with Flying Fishbone (eating on the beach) or something casual (we loved Texas de Brazil)

Other than that- just chill in the beautiful sun!

Re: Aruba...what to do?

I second El Gaucho.....the steak is amazing....i also love The Aqua Grill

Re: Aruba...what to do?

I went there for the HM and we rented a car for two days and drove around the island. We had two different cars. One car was 4 wheel drive and we used that to get to Natural Bridge. My husband and I love to snorkel so the other day we had a normal car and drove around and hopped out and just snorkelled wherever it looked nice. Baby Beach was really great for snorkelling and that is the best place for snorkelling IMO. We brought our own gear.

We also did jet skiing one day.

We ate at Chez Mathilde, Madame Jeanette's, Flying Fishbone, Gasparito and La Rumba. The first three were the best. We didnt care for the last two.
