Question
We have a group going to Aruba (8 couples) we in our 50's.

What do you think about diva aruba, we want something small
but fun .

Answer
Hi Carol..If you are refering to the Divi Resort, this is an all-inclusive resort. I find prices are high, unless the group does a lot of drinking, and then it can be worth the price. It is a small, clean and friendly facility.
However, if you do want to pay a high price for all-inclusive, and want to dine around the islands many resturants, I would recommend The Aruba Beach Club ( right next to the Divi). It is a small timeshare resort, mostly "older" folks, quiet, clean, larger pool, and situated on one of the best beaches in Aruba.
Check out their website for pictures and prices at www.arubabeachclub.net  . I just returned from there last week and it seems to get better every year. I think you will enjoy it if you pick this facility as an alternative.
