Aruba via Interval International experiences?

[BCV2002]

We stayed at the Marriott Ocean Club for our honeymoon, and it was AMAZING!!! It is on Palm Beach, which is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. We used 123 points for a studio.

Why we liked Aruba (and are planning to use II to go again):

1. SOOOO Beautiful it didn't seem real.
2. Our location was very central, so we could just walk to a lot of different places and there were so many things to do.
3. The Arubans are so friendly; we NEVER felt unsafe, even when we took cabs and public buses to Oranjestad.
4. If you want a water location (and the popular and fun-filled and AMAZING Palm Beach) request these three resorts:
- Marriott Ocean Club
- Marriott Surf Club
- Playa Linda

Didn't see the Surf Club b/c it wasn't done when we were there in 04, but the Playa Linda was very nice and we plan on requesting that next time we go.

Plus, our DVC guide has always heard that Aruba is the best island in the Caribbean.
