QUESTION: What are some child friendly resorts in Aruba for a family of 3, child age 10?

ANSWER: Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort and Casino

Experience the all-new Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort & Casino, where luxurious pampering and exquisite touches enhance every moment of your visit. 

Kids enjoy playtime in paradise during your amazing Caribbean family vacation when they join the fun at Camp Hyatt Watapana. The resort offers a myriad of kid's activities in Aruba - from pool games to arts and crafts. Kids will meet new friends, play in the Caribbean sunshine and explore the wonders of this fascinating island. Under the supervision of trained camp counselors, kids spend their days romping on the beach, creating crafts and learning about the natural beauty and colorful history of Aruba. While kids enjoy fun Aruba activities, mom and dad can enjoy some quiet time in the spa, on a sailboat, or enjoying a romantic dinner.

The magnificent, 8,000 square foot pool complex offers fun in the sun for everyone. For those wishing to simply relax and enjoy the sunshine, the expansive pool decks provide comfortable lounge chairs and umbrellas to spend a day basking in the warm Caribbean sun. When you need to cool down, enjoy a leisurely swim in the enticing three-tier pool, with a refreshing cascading waterfall on each level. There's plenty of excitement at the pool, too. Take a thrilling ride down the two-story water slide, landing with an invigorating splash in the warm waters. Challenge the family to a game of water volleyball or explore the freshwater lagoon, stocked with tropical fish and wildlife. Hungry? Swim up to Balashi Bar and Grille for a light lunch, snack or your favorite cocktail. For a perfect ending to another glorious day in Aruba, submerge in one of the two outdoor Jacuzzi's, nestled under the swaying palms, as you plan your evening of delicious dining and entertainment.

The Beach Boys sang it best, and we've decided to embrace their lyrics and feature every place they sang about in their hit, "Kokomo." Kokomo, however doesn't actually exist off the Florida Keys, but Aruba, Jamaica (oo I wanna take you) are all quite real, so be sure to keep up with our blog series and check out the incredible places the Beach Boys deem worthy of your stay!

The first featured locale mentioned in the song is Aruba, and we're going to take it a step further and recommend Palm Beach as a top destination. Consider checking into the Westin Resort and Casino Aruba where you'll be steps away from the magnificent ocean and soft sand beaches. Enjoy sailing, scuba diving, and deep sea fishing while staying in one of 481 spectacular rooms, of which over 200 rooms offer an ocean view. Outdoor adventures not your cup of tea? Then rejuvenate at the recently renovated spa or try your luck at the casino. "Wouldn't It Be Nice" if you were enjoying the gorgeous weather and relaxing on the beach right now? Well, there's no need to daydream about a vacation when the Westin Resort and Casino Aruba could be your reality, so book your reservation today!
