Question
Andy, Would you reccomend Curaco for a family vacation with a 13 and 17yr
old. Nad which is the best hotel/resort to stay so that they would see other's
thier own age...

Answer
Bob..Curacao vs. Aruba for kids. Aruba would win that one easily. Curacao offers mostly shopping, and very little for kids entertainment. I couldnt even tell you a hotel, as there are not that many of them there as in Aruba. However, in Aruba, the place families go to is the Holiday Inn and the other hi-rise hotels in that area. There is mini-golf, butterfly farm, donkey farm just to name a few. Plenty of places to eat that the kids relate to. plenty of site-seeing and tours are available. I would go to  www.aruba.com, or www.visitaruba.com so you can browse around and see whats there. I hacve bought my son to Aruba from age 2 all the way to 16, and he never ran out of things to do/places to go! Aruba also has a much safer environment for the younger ones. I, myself, having gone to Curacao a few times, found myself totally bored! If you need any other info on Aruba, feel free to get in touch again!
