Does anyone know of any early bird specials they would recommend? Also, is it worth buying the Visit Aruba Card? Thanks for your advice.

I don't think so. Things aren't that expensive in Aruba, as we got good prices at most all of the restaurants.

Sometimes the local paper has ads for specials. Cleo's - the little restaurant in the Alhambra Casino - has 2 for one hot dogs, steak sandwiches and something else on Sunday nights.

Also, at the airport, you can get books that have various coupons. I got a free glass of wine everywhere I dined using the coupon books.

Chalet Suisse

Chalet Suisse has a good early bird menu. From their website:
<<Guests visiting our restaurant from April 1st to November 30th whom prefer an early dinner, will appreciate our EARLY BIRD SPECIAL menu; a three course selection of our most popular items at a fixed price.>>

We enjoyed our dinner there and would return.

look in the paper

I bought the visitaruba card when I went in Aug. Whether or not it's worth it or not depends on how you'll be using it. Of course it's worth it if you use enough of the discount/freebies. I was told by certain vendors that discounts are not stackable. I bought the card to use at Rumba's which is one of our favorite restaurants. I didn't use it for any of the activities since I got other discounts (like 1/2 for kids)..I found that for most of the activities the same discounts can be found elsewhere (like the coupon books or online...)

As for early birds - definitely check the paper. I know that Tango and another restaurant (next door) offers a 3 course early bird for $20 or $25. I think Laguana at the Radisson also does an early bird for their buffets (kids under 12 eat free for each paying adult!) I think Le Petit Cafe may have an early bird too (I think there was a sign outside)
