Hi Neighbor!

Does the casino rate players for comps at La Cabana?

I was able to get nice comps from Marriott last couple of times. At least when you lose, you have *some* justification.

Hi Gretel,

When I was down, the Casino was closed so I made my "donations" at the Holiday Inn's Casino (actually pretty nice).

I was comped a Jack Daniels and a bottle of water during the hour it took to blow $200.

John- That was an expensive Jack!

I've been reading about nearby restaurants. Is Le Petit Cafe (where you cook on stones) within walking distance or a fairly short drive? I think my kids would love the novelty. Is the food decent?

LaCabana In Aruba

La Petite Cafe Is across the road from LaCaba at the Paradise Beach Resort.
My personal opion is that the food is just ok and overpriced. We ate there in Jan and about 3 years ago,still the same both times.

Requests

Just to update, I spoke to La Cabana reservations today. She was able to move my units to 426B and C! Looks like I'll have that great view after all and with connecting units! Woo hoo! :whoopie:

Hi
i am interested in la cabana, can you send me the pics from 342 so I can view the beach,
thanks

I own at LaCabana and it just so happens that my unit numbers are on the same line. In May we own 228 (yours being 428)...its smack in the middle and a great great view. Probably the best in the whole resort except for the E & D Units at the end. I also like entering and exiting the room from a non air conditioned hallway (as that would be). In Nov. we own Unit 340 and family memebers have rented 342 from another owner for years. Your view will be great of the Sea (when you look right) but sitting on your terrace you'll be looking out over the roof of the Islander Grill. That's not necessarily a bad thing but you won't be able to see the pool (which I like to do when my teenagers are in it).

When my husband and I go alone we stay in our Studio. I like it much better than the 1 bedroom. Love the kitchen in the Studio...the whole room is open and airy when the beds are up!!! I dont' care for the 1 bedrooms. You enter directly into the bedroom and there's a alley kitchen (small). I can't imagine 4 of you staying in a studio but heck its just like 1 big hotel room with a kitchen!...I would however suggest you and your mom on the murphy bed and the kids on the sofa bed (murphy has a REAL mattress). Unless you end up staying in the 1 bedroom then you have a great king size bed in the bedroom that can easily sleep 3.

Can you ask if they have a 2 bedroom lockout??? That's what we have in November (340) and its perfect. Basically that's what you are renting except they are not near each other. You'll get a AB or a BC with a lockout.

All in all we LOVE LaCabana as it is very kid friendly and the people there are wonderful.

I have pictures of the 342 view if you'd like.
