Re: $600 Airfare Difference. Punta Cana vs. Curacao. Is the extra flight time worth it?

Been to both. Punta Cana is easier, cheaper, and fine if you just want to sit on a resort and drink. But you said "snorkeling." Curacao wins that category by a mile. The snorkeling right off the shore at Playa Lagun or Tugboat Beach is world-class. Punta Cana snorkeling is mostly choppy and requires a boat trip. That said, $600 is $600. I'd save the money and do PC, then plan a full week for Curacao later.

Re: Beware "Silver Linings" car rental on Dominica

Hi all,
I am not sure if its the same company, but a few sails ago, we rented a car near Portsmouth. The brakes nearly caused me to leave my dna on a mountainside. We had to wait at said bend for new vehicle for hours south of Portsmouth.
The next vehicle had better brakes, but the tires were equally bald.
We should have inspected the brakes b4 hitting the road, not on the road. Lesson learned and renter beware.
PS i hope you enjoy your time in Dominica, Zanshin. Are you attempting Boiling Lake? My first stay was in Laudat a decade ago. Dominica is magical.

Re: Best area to stay on Aruba?

We stayed at La Cabana on Eagle Beach and loved it (this was in 2019). Yes, there is more going on in the Palm Beach area, but it is not a bad drive from Eagle Beach to Palm Beach for dinner, etc... I think Eagle Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches I have seen. We rented a car and explored the entire island. Went to Palm Beach for dinner several times. One our favorite memories is dinner/dancing at Bugaloe Beach Bar and Grill. I would absolutely go back to Aruba. Was in SXM last year, going to Caymans next year. I do keep up to date with SXM on this forum. We LOVE SXM!!!

We ended up booking at the Royalton Grenada on Magazine Beach. All inclusive, right on the beach, and seemed to have very good reviews. It will feel different not being on a boat though. Should be fun.
