The Hyatt in Aruba features a very nice swimming pool complex. That may be an understatement. Check out the view from above:
Hyatt, Aruba, pool
On a day like this one, being in the pool is one of the great pleasures of vacation life. There is a juice bar and a regular bar for refreshments and snacks, both only a few steps away. Hyatt does it well in Aruba.
People ask me about hotels in Aruba, where they are, what the complexes are like, and so forth. There’s nothing better than an aerial photo to put it all in perspective. Here’s a look at the Hyatt Hotel as seen from above:
You see how the hotel structure wraps around the pools, bars, and restaurants. In the lower left corner is a favorite bar of mine. I used to linger there for hours, writing and drinking. Just above that is the restaurant area where they serve a very good Sunday Brunch. The Japengo Restaurant is open in the evening, serving creative dishes for those with exotic tastes. Of course, the pools are lots of fun. Don’t miss the slide on the lower right side of the frame. Just off the bottom of the photo is the beach. Everything you need is right there.
Bon dia from Aruba.
Japengo is one of the fine restaurants located at the Hyatt Resort in Aruba. This is the second time I’ve eaten there, the first being last year. The food is distinctly Asian in origin, complete with a full service sushi bar. As you would expect, service is excellent, the setting beautiful, and quality of the food extraordinary. So, let’s take a look at some of the dishes we enjoyed.
To start, my wife ordered a spicy tuna roll seen here:
My mother had the chicken lemongrass as seen below.
And I had the lobster/shrimp eggrolls with sweet/spicy dip.
Entrees were very inventive as you will soon see. My mother and father both ordered the Marco Polo, which is a small lobster tail, shrimp, and small filet over pasta in a delicious sauce. Here’s a photo of the dish.
My wife choose the Japanese Sea Bass with asparagus, also excellent and here is a photo.
Finally, I choose the Hunan Beef, which was very good and seen below.
Every dish is presented as a work of art and the waiters take pride in their service. The prices are at the upper limit of my budget, but I felt that all things considered the meal was a good value. When next in Aruba, give Japengo a try. You’ll love it.
Bon dia from Aruba.
