ATV around the island and deep sea fishing were my two favs.

I would think a 'must do' is to relax, have a good time.......

2 restaurant suggestions:
- Madame Jeannette's
- Flying Fishbone (it's a decent car ride from the Radisson & make sure you get a reservation so you are seated for the sunset outside).

Have a great time!

A great place to relax and/or dive. Not a lot to do on the island, but spend at least a day driving around, check out the lighthouse, the old church by the ocean (I can't remember the name, but you can Google it). 1/2 the island looks as you would expect the the other half is desert like with the prison and burning garbage dump. Don't worry, its been strategically placed so you won't see or smell anything from the resort area.

Have fun!!

I spent two weeks every year of my childhood in Aruba, some of my greatest memories. It is a fantastic island and the perfect place to relax. Enjoy.
