Aruba

Pros: Sonesta is awesome, El Gaucho is the place to eat. My kind of vacation.
Cons: NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My wife and I have been to Aruba twice, once when we first met and then again on our Honeymoon. Both times we have stayed at the Sonesta Marina Hotel in the center of town. You couldn't ask for a nicer Hotel. The people at the Sonesta are super...

Pros: Pretty beaches
Cons: WIND!!!!!!!!!! BORING!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to Aruba! Now, make sure your hat has a chin strap and don't even think of sitting comfortably on the beach without being in a cabana or wearing clothes!

I spent 10 days in Aruba, and I could not wait to come home. It is so...

Pros: Romantic, beautiful, warm & sunny everyday, shopping, water sports
Cons: none

We went in June of 2002 and stayed at the Radisson which was absolutely gorgeous - right on the beach. Water sports were right on the beach...floatation devices to take in the pool or ocean if it got too hot. Waiter service to bring you a cocktail on...

Pros: Constant wind, clear waters, clean beaches, strong sun
Cons: Too much money. strong sun

I visited Aruba in May 2000,there was a discounted rate for this time period. Since Aruba climate is the same year round it's good to go whenever. I felt that Palm beach was the nicest, cleanest beach I've ever been to. The water is an unreal blue/green...

Pros: Friendly natives, great food, and near perfect weather.
Cons: Not the most attractive island

What can I say about this place....It really is one happy island. First the weather....constant, moderate tradewinds keep the warm, muggy air tolerable. I have been there in April and June, and had great weather. It only rained one day during my April...

Pros: Pleasant, easy going, friendly people and easy access when there
Cons: Hard to say anything BAD about the place

Aruba is the place to go to do basically nothing at all. There we were, my wife and two teenage sons at an all-inclusive resort just sort of being there. Don't get me wrong. The food was fine, and the beach beautiful. The water was perfect and...

Pros: everything
Cons: nothing

One happy Island- and that is just it. If you have been to Jamacia you know there is garbage, unemployment, poverty and crime. But none of that is in Aruba. It is one of the cleanest countries and if you do not have a job in 3 months they kick you...

Pros: great weather
Cons: airfare can be pricey, best to get a package

He loves windsurfing and the hot sun. She hates humidity. What's a couple to do? Head to Aruba, of course, where the windsurfing's great and the constant breeze makes it the most pleasant spot in the Caribbean.
My family--three...

Pros: Explore island in a rental car; off paved-road sights best toured in air conditioning comfort.
Cons: Some recommended sights over-rated; go slow over coral desert roads (not marked); flats common.

Take your choice...relax on Palm Beach (the best) in the constant wind cooling your skin from the Aruba sun (fierce and unrelenting), or seek the hidden places (get map of island) in an off the road exploration taking you to the sights recommended....

Pros: beautiful,fun
Cons: nothing

On the island of Aruba it never rains and and is always sunny. I visited Aruba in the month of Feburary and it was beautiful. If u are planing to g sight seeing you have to see the Natural Bridge, everyone goes to see this landmark which was formed by...

Pros: reasonable prices
Cons: long flight from California

My wife and I went to Aruba on our honeymoon last year. We found it a great place to relax and truly get away from it all. The island is not that large, so you can see everything, lose the guilt you might otherwise have for not trying to see...

Pros: Friendly,multi-lingual people,snorkeling,great chefs, well run casinos, beautiful water
Cons: Tho you don't need a car, it's advisable but they drive too fast

We'll be flying down to Aruba for our 7th year on the island. It's one of those arid (except around hotels) little ABC islands (Aruba,Bonaire,Curacao) which were colonized by the Dutch. Aruba declared its independence a while back but still has Dutch...

Pros: Never gets to hot
Cons: can't stay forever

There are some great smaller beaches away from the high risers and the other hotels. Don't miss dinner at El Gaucho's. You will need to make a reservation and will probably still have to wait an hour or so. The north side of the island has some great...

Pros: Great beaches, friendly people, warm weather
Cons: Expensive

I worked there for 1 year for a Canadian travel agency and I loved the island.

You will almost never have any rain, due to its dry climate. The wind is always blowing but that is welcomed since it is so hot there.

The island is...

Pros: absolutely nothing
Cons: RAIN, dogs lying all over the streets, a factory pouring chemicals into the air

Thinking of going to Aruba? Well, don't! I've been telling everyone for a few years now how the place sucks. I went to that dump of an island back in December of 1999 to see nothing but rain every single day (and some at night) for 7 days. The streets...
