Aruba

Pros: The Windsurfing

Pros: The colorful homes really brighten up the desert like, yet somehow beautiful landscape.

The native people are kind and helpful to americans. The food is wonderful, you can find almost anything anywhere. I just got back yesterday. I stayed at the Holiday Inn on Palm Beach. It is very expensive to go to this island, so if you are on a...

Pros: Nothing good to say about resort
Cons: The resort did not show any empathy toward the incidents nor accommodate our stay

My daughter and I stayed at La Cabana for 6 days of which, we had several incidents arise and did not receive any accommodations from the hotel management and staff. Five star resort, not even close the maid service was awful. The floor was so filthy ...

Pros: great beaches,beatiful weather,many water activities available
Cons: rain is possible

Pros: Nice facilities, great beach, nice staff
Cons: Kinda boring if you're under 50 years old

I just returned from a very low key trip to Aruba. I stayed at the Playa Linda in a friend's time share unit. I was last here 3 years ago and the guest registration system was a breeze thanks to the addition of new computers. The staff was very friendly...

Pros: Wind, Weather, nice sites

If you love the sun, If you like Diving, Windsurfing, Adventure, palm trees, white beaches, bacardi-cola's, and a lot more, ARUBA is the place to be. I went only for a short visit there, but it some holiday! I arrived at the airport, looking for a rental...
