Resort is very peaceful and serene, close to several beaches and other resorts/hotels where additional activities can be enjoyed. The resort is also close to public transportation that takes you downtown in a matter of minutes. There are several private resturants close by, along with fine dining experiences of nearby hotels/resorts. All in all if you are looking to have a relaxing and enjoyable vacation, Aruba - particularly Caribbean Palms resort - is the place to be. An additional advantage is that you are enrolled in Interval International which allows you to exchange your home resort for another around the USA and the world. The advantage I enjoyed the most was being able to save my timeshare weeks while partaking of the Getaways. The getaways are resorts and hotels at reduced rates that you and your family/friends can enjoy anytime of the year. A wise inveastment for anyone who likes to travel; it practically pays for itself. Happy Travels. Price is negotiable
