Hyatt Regency Aruba and Marriott's Aruba Surf Club both land on Palm Beach's safest, calmest waters—a real advantage if you're traveling with younger kids or don't want to chase them across rough sand. Hyatt edges out for all-ages convenience with its structured kids program; Marriott wins if you need kitchen space and don't mind managing your own schedule. Both are genuinely luxury without the stuffy pretense, which means actual comfort instead of just thread count.
