Hyatt Regency Aruba and Marriott's Aruba Surf Club both hit 90/100 for families, but they're built for different trip styles. Pick the Hyatt if you want a traditional resort experience with structured activities and babysitting flexibility. Pick the Marriott if your crew needs kitchen access and room to spread out—especially with multiple kids or grandparents in tow. Budget-conscious families should eye the Hilton, which offers similar Palm Beach access and kids' programming at a real discount. All three sit on Aruba's calmest, most swimmable stretch of beach.
