Occidental Grand Royal Club Level - great for Aruba Weddings

Who doesn't want to be treated like royalty at their destination wedding?
This is the second post from my recent trip to the gorgeous Occidental Grand resort in Aruba. In my first post I showed you the view from our room, but that was only one part. In fact, our room was actually a suite that had a huge bedroom, large bathroom and an equally huge dining/living room. Below is a quick video of the suite portion of the room. What a great type of room for Aruba weddings - you have a large area to get ready before the ceremony, and even enough room to have some family/friends come by afterward for a cocktail.
The Royal Club was more than just a great room. Here is how Occidental describes the experience:
Located on the 7th, 8th and 9th floors of the Occidental Grand Aruba, the Royal Club experience begins with champagne upon arrival. Guests of the Royal Club will enjoy rooms and suites with luxury accommodations including luxurious linens and pillows, Etro toiletries, nightly turndown service, fruit basket and plush bathrobes; Suites offer hydro-massage bathtubs. Guests will enjoy private check-in at the Royal Club level floor with a private lounge, restaurant and concierge services.
When you show up for your Aruba wedding, nothing is better than being wisked away from the line in the lobby and taken up to the 9th floor where you enjoy a glass of campagne while the friendly concierge staff take care of your check in. What a way to start things off!
And the Royal Club Restaurant was a great way to escape the masses for breakfast and lunch. All in all the service level was incredible, and it was probably the best concierge level service I have experienced. In my next posts I'll talk about the great wedding locations at the Occidental that few know about, but are perfect for Aruba weddings.
