Hyatt Regency Aruba edges ahead if you want a polished, all-in-one experience with Camp Hyatt handling the kids while you breathe. But if your crew needs space—separate bedrooms, a kitchen to dodge resort markup—Marriott's Aruba Surf Club is the smarter play. Both land on Palm Beach's gentlest sand and run $$$$ without apology. Drop down to the Hilton or the all-suite picks on this list and you'll pocket real money while keeping the same beach access and kids' programming. The call depends on whether you're paying for convenience or actual room to spread out.
