In-Depth Information
TIP:
Check with the activities desk at your hotel or
read through the free tourist publications to find out
which resorts are hosting theme-night dinners dur-
ing your stay. You don't have to be a guest of the hotel
to attend, and the buffet dinner and live entertain-
ment are usually well done. Try to attend at least one
of these events. Some of the best include: the
Aruban Folkloric Show
, the
Carnival Extrava-
ganza
,
Havana Night
, and the
Steel-band and
Limbo Barbecue
.
