Divi & Tamarijin Aruba offers a variety of dining options

Oranjestad, Aruba, February 29, 2008 – There are numerous dining options to suit the tastes of every guest at the Divi & Tamarijn Aruba.  From stylish beachfront restaurants to casual poolside grills, open-air or enclosed seating, these venues offer everything from fine quality steaks or hearty Italian fare to Asian-fusion cuisine or pizza and snacks.  With a choice of 10 dining outlets available to guests of both resorts, it’s easy to find a meal or light bite at any time of day or night.

For an oceanfront dining experience, try the Divi Aruba’s signature Red Parrot restaurant.  This popular venue recently underwent a complete renovation.  It now features fine cuisine and attentive service for dinner only in either an indoor, air-conditioned setting or on the beachside outdoor terrace.  Alternately, for breakfast, lunch or dinner, the Pelican Terrace offers guests locally influenced dishes with Aruban flavor as well as continental cuisine and the option of dining either in- or outdoors. 

Light fare and pizza can be found at the Coco Grill and Bar or for pasta dishes, sandwiches, hamburgers and hot dogs along with a cool drink, visit the oceanfront Sandpiper Bar which was renovated just last year.  Those primarily interested in having a beverage can step off the sand and into the beachfront Pelican Bar.

Newly refurbished is the Tamarijn Aruba’s signature Paparazzi Restaurant, Bar and Lounge.  A favorite among guests for dinner, Paparazzi serves classic Italian foods and select wines in an intimate setting.  Just next door is the properties’ Asian-fusion restaurant, Ginger, which opened last year.  Featuring air-conditioned indoor seating and chic modern décor, it delights diners with such eclectic dishes as Tokyo Beef Noodles, Mango Chicken and Vegetarian Tempura Mix.  For a change of pace, guests can try stir-frying shrimp, swordfish, chicken or beef mixed with fresh vegetables and rice on specialty grill tables at the Palm Grill oceanfront restaurant.  Or, enjoy open-air, oceanfront dining in a casual, relaxed environment at the adjacent Cunucu Terrace.  For a simple slice of pizza with a great ocean view, try the all-new and casual Pizza per Tutti.  Renovated in 2007, Pizza per Tutti boasts full bar service, snacks and pizza cooked in its open brick ovens.  Refreshing drinks can be found at either the two-story, open-air Coconuts, or the popular Bunker Bar, which is set invitingly out over the water.

Just steps away at The Links at Divi Aruba, another new restaurant recently opened that particularly appeals to those who appreciate golf and fine dining.  Windows on Aruba is built in the round, boasting sweeping views of the golf course and beach beyond from its location in the golf clubhouse.  Open for dinner only, the cuisine is creative and complemented by vintage wines.  For guests of the Divi & Tamarijn Aruba, this restaurant is now an optional amenity available at an additional cost.

The Divi Aruba offers 203 air-conditioned accommodations in one-, two- or three-story buildings and the oceanfront Tamarijn Aruba features 236 oceanfront guestrooms in two-story buildings. Located five minutes from Aruba’s capital city, Oranjestad, these adjacent low-rise resorts are set on Druif Beach, with a shopping arcade and the Alhambra Casino nearby. 

Guests staying at either the Divi Aruba or the adjacent, newly renovated, oceanfront Tamarijn Aruba have use of all facilities and services of both properties.
