Aruba is home to some of the most gorgeous beaches in the world.  Powdery white sand and beautiful turquoise seas combined with a warm tropical breeze makes Aruba one of the top destinations in all of the Caribbean.  The weather is perfect year-round with temperatures averaging about 82 degrees.  Aruba attracts more than 800,000 international travelers annually and has the highest return rate in the Caribbean. More than 90% of the travelers hail from the United States. The southern coast of the Island is home to over 20 dive sites and 11 diver friendly wrecks.  Shoppers can find a huge selection of name brand products and prices that are 10-35% lower than in the United States.

Aruba has no language barrier and no currency exchange so it is very U.S. traveler friendly. The island is very small with flat cab fares so it easy to explore and affordable to get around.  The food is amazing with restaurants ranging from typical franchise food to Gourmet dining.  Aruba also features world class nightclubs and wonderful Casinos.  Most of the hotel casinos will close around 2 am but the Casino’s downtown are open 24 hours a day.  Aruba has a wonderful combination of great beaches.

Aruba has two main hotel areas.  The high rise hotels and the low rise hotels.  The High Rise hotels like the Riu Palace Aruba and the Occidental Grand are located on beautiful Palm Beach. The low rise hotels like the Divi and Tamarijn are located on Eagle Beach.  Both areas are excellent but the top rated hotels will be in the High Rise section or on Palm Beach.  Aruba also has many hotels that are not all inclusive so if you prefer a more familiar brand you can stay at The Hyatt, Renaissance, Marriott or The Westin.  The all inclusive hotels tend to be a better value but Aruba gives you the option for either style of hotel accommodations.

It is time to experience something different then the typical Mexico or Caribbean vacation.  Call today and let us send you to Aruba, “One Happy Island.”
