I, my wife, and our 3 girls (9,11 and 14)traveled to Aruba for the first time over the Easter holiday. I had chosen the Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort after researching it on line (after comparing the Eagle and Palm beach area hotels and their various amenities). We arrived late on thursday evening and were more than a little nervous on what condition we might find our new "home" in for the next week. I am happy to report that the Hotel lived up to all of our expectations. Our suite (S1) was awesome! Quiet, relaxing, internet access, great beach, great location, etc. etc. Perfect for our family of 5. Everyone on the staff (that we had contact with) was friendly, helpful, and truly seemed to care if we were having a good time or not. They continually asked if there was anything they could do to enhance our stay. The only disappointing thing I can think of would be that we wished the room air conditioning worked a little better.
Make sure you rent a car when staying in Aruba. Regarding the Amsterdam Manor, The hotel is located outside of town in the low rise resort area and is about 1 mile down the street from the high rise resort area. You will want to visit this area and downtown on occassion and the car is a useful accessory.
