Which place to go for a family (young kids) vacation over Thanksgiving? Aruba, Bahamas or Grand Cayman? We’d be staying at a Marriott property.

Go to Aruba and stay at the Renaissance Marriott - you get access to their private island with flamingos on it.

I second!

I’d go with Aruba and stay at the Ritz, Surf Club (lazy river) or Stellaris with small kids. There’s a lot of dining options within walking distance or short taxi rides. The Atlantis in the Bahamas is nice, but the kids would need to be over 48” to go on the big water slides and you’d likely want to stay on property as it gets shady when you venture out for dining options. If you decide on the Caymans, I’d opt for the Ritz or Westin as the Marriott isn’t one of their best properties. The Caymans similar to Aruba in terms of safety when you’re out and about.

I would recommend Aruba over Bahamas. Haven’t been to Grand Cayman. The Marriott in Aruba seems very nice, though I didn’t stay there (just walked through it).

Aruba yes

Yes to A1! I’ve heard great things about their private beach

Has anyone used babysitting services at any of the Aruba hotels? We’d love to have a day or two to ourselves as part of the trip.

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

I am looking to connect with this wonderful community and share my journey, also looking for roles in writing.
