Answer
I stayed at the Tamarijn on my honeymoon last summer, it is AMAZING. The resort itself is very nice, and suitable for groups of all sizes, there were lots of couples as well as lots of families there.
W snorkelled a lot, there are some good places for it along the beaches. And the equipment rental is part of the all-inclusive thing, you just show them your room key and give them your room number and they hand you the gear you need.
Oranjestad isn't all that close, there are some shops within walking distance, and the taxi rates are very reasonable in Aruba.
For your family, there is so much to do, and it is all covered in the all inclusive so you don't really have to carry any cash with you, you only need your room key and towel card. You're given a bracelet when you check in that shows you are staying there, and this gives you access to all of the restaurants in the resort. There is good access to beach, and the Tamarijn is owned by the Divi corporation so you have access to a sister resort that is about 5 minutes up the beach. This includes access to some of the restaurants and total access to the beaches there. Just be sure to check which restaurants require you to make reservations (some of them do).
My wife and I began planning a return trip for our 5 year anniversary the week we got back! Aruba is one of those rare places where the island is actually NICER than the pictures you see!
Recommendations:
Be sure to eat at the Palm Grill at the resort. It has little stir-fry surfaces on the table where you grill your own food, its fun and the food is good quality. It requires reservations.
Pack more sunscreen than you think you need and aloe. You can get caught up in snorkelling and find yourself with a nasty burn without realizing it!
Spend some time in the pools as well as the ocean. Give your skin a break from the salt and enjoy one of the numerous pools, they are all very nice and well kept, and often provide shade that the beach doesn't.
Eat like pigs! The food is great, especially all of the fresh fish. You've already paid for it in your all-inclusive price, so get your fill!
Good luck, I hope you pick the Tamarijn, we enjoyed it more than words can describe.

Any suggestion where to go in Thailand ?
Melfeny Q
Will be going 1 week b4 CNY...Did Thailand celebrate CNY?
Phuket,phi phi island,bangkok & etc which is the best?
*Thinking wanna see different celebration of CNY.Hihi
Answer
Chinese New Year is not so big in Thailand as it is in Malaysia, for example. The biggest celebrations in Thailand are Songkran (Thai New Year), New Year's Day, and Roi Katon. You WILL find people celebrating though, so you won't feel left out. As a seasoned traveller to Thailand I've put together the following two week itinery that you might find interesting:
Day 1: Arrive BKK and fly directly to Chiang Mai CNX. Check into your hotel and hang out at the pool. Visit the night market - Wualai Walking Street (Saturday Market), Tha Pae Walking Street (Sunday Market)
Day 2: Elephant park: You're seriously going to wet yourself over this one ... and fall in love with an elephant or two. Patara Elephant Farm, Elephant Nature Park and Thai Elephant Home are all highly regarded and offer similar full day excursions. You'll get hands-on experience feeding, training, walking, riding elephants, etc. There are other similar places too. Probably a good day to organise a massage after dinner at one of the day spas. I prefer the more expensive day spas to the chop-shop massage places as the quality of service and privacy is better.
Day 3: Wat Phra That Doi Suthep: seriously nice temple about 20km from the centre of town. You might find it as part of a day trip. Possibly combine with Tiger Kingdom.
Day 4: Visit the night bazaar on Chang Klan Road
Day 5: CNX-BKK-Phuket (HTK). If you've got the money Le Meridian is the place to stay, with it's private beach etc. Whatever hotel you stay at, get them to book your next few day's activities right away. Also, get the concierge to book a table at BedSupperClub in BKK for next week. http://www.bangkok.com/restaurant-reviewâ¦
Day 6: Phang Nga Bay day tour - see James Bond island, the place where The Beach was filmed.
Day 7: Coral Island - just 20 minutes off the coast by speedboat. So some swimming, sunbaking, etc. or spend the day by the pool. At night go to FantaSea: Phuket FantaSea is the island's biggest show. With trapeze artists, a cast of hundreds, performing elephants and other animals and an exotic storyline that blends tradition with fantasy you'll have a wonderful evening out here. But, make sure you have booked the package which includes dinner at the on-site restaurant AND arrive EARLY.
Day 8: Explore the shops, markets, etc. around Phuket. Send your bf on a fishing trip while you get your nails and hair done.
Important note: don't hire a jetski in Thailand. I'm just warning you ... there are a lot of scams ... google "Thailand jetski scam" for further info.
Day 9: How about a bit more nature? There's a Gibbon Rehabilitation Centre at Bang Pae Waterfall or visit the Butterfly Garden and Insect World. Not your scene? Do an adventure trip: rafting, go-karts, pistol ranges - all available in Phuket.
Day 10: HTK - BKK: when you arrive at your hotel book a river dinner cruise for later in the week. Spend the afternoon at Platinum Plaza shopping for clothes, etc. Go to Cabbages and Condoms for dinner - profits go to HIV/AIDS prevention in rural Thailand, then visit PatPong Night Market.
Day 11: Culture - Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho), Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun), Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) - which is right next to The Grand Palace. All worth seeing. I suggest starting early to avoid the afternoon heat. Wat Phra Kaew opens at 8:00am and there's a lot to see. I suggest walking only part of the walls that have the artwork (you'll know what I mean when you get there). Aim to spend about an hour at each. Tonight go to the Bed SupperClub - if you booked it the week before.
Day 12: How about a day trip to the famous Bridge Over the River Kwai and Hellfire Pass - the scene of Japanese occupation during WW2? Not for you? How about shopping? Check out the top end of town this time - Central World Plaza, then on to Siam Paragon (I think the best shopping mall in BKK). While you're there, go to Amaltery on the ground floor - icecream to die for ... http://www.bangkok.com/restaurant-reviewâ¦
Day 13-15: Pack your stuff and take a taxi to Pattaya. Stay a couple of night here. There are some great live music venues at night. Excellent food and good day spas. You can sunbake, etc. during the day. Make sure you book a Tiffany's Show one night (it's a cabaret lady-boy show - really, really, spectacular ... and I'm a pretty conservative guy)
Day 15: Taxi back to airport and travel to next destination
