Question
Andy-we travelled to Aruba last year and loved it.  We stayed at the Wyndham and we were very pleased with the hotel.  We are wanting to go back this year but for two weeks.  We like very nice places on the beach with a view and a pool. Are there any timeshare/condos that you would recommend or should we just stay in a hotel.  I look forward to your response.

Answer
Hi Michelle! I would recommend going to the Aruba Beach Club( www.arubabeachclub.com) They are right on the water, very clean, and have upscale clientelle. Also, you can get really great deals to own a timeshare there for as low as $2,800.00 to $3,500.00 for a studio unit. I own one there and it was the best deal I found on the whole island. The price is low due to resales. You will find that info on the website. Book a room there, see how nice it is, and go to the resales department if you want to buy a week. The best thing is that ownership is LIFETIME! Not a 20 to 40 week deal, and then its gone. I go there the last 2 weeks in August. Not too many people there as from November to March. If there is anything else I can help you with,please do not hesitate to call on me again!!
