Aruba Vacation in the Caribbean Islands

As you are planning your next island vacation and deciding where to go in the Caribbean, or other tropical island spot, consider what Aruba has to offer as a vacation destination for singles, couples and families. After many years of vacationing in Aruba and other islands, I have found Aruba to be one of the best places for relaxation, climate and total enjoyment.  The beautiful warm turquoise waters and white sand make Aruba one of the top ten beaches in the world. Being outside of the hurricane belt and its prevailing trade winds make this vacation island like a place in Paradise. This small island, approx 20 miles long and 6 miles at its widest point is 18 miles off the coast of Venezuela.

There are many activities for you to enjoy while on vacation in Aruba like – windsurfing, jet ski, water rides, tubing, water skiing, casino gambling, sailing, sunset sailing, golf, sightseeing, and numerous tourist attractions. The Aruban people are very friendly, pleasant and helpful which is why this island is so pleasant to visit. The people speak a minimum four different languages including English, and US currency is accepted throughout the island. Arubans main source of income is from tourism and they truly value your visit to their country and are genuinely sincere and honest. Arubans are very proud people and will always do the best they can to help to you enjoy your vacation stay.

Visiting the downtown shopping malls and outlets is a must. If you are planning to go to downtown Oranjestad, dress comfortable, shorts - t shirt - sun dress etc. Do not wear swimsuits or bikinis when shopping, sightseeing or walking in the streets beyond the beach area or resort pool areas, this is not appropriate in Aruba. You will find many designer clothing outlets, discount jewelry stores and unique boutiques and shops.

The southern coast of Aruba has beautiful beaches with calm warm waters. The port is on this side of the island and this is where many cruise ships arrive and dock. The northern coast is open to the rough Atlantic seas and the shores are rough cut rock cliffs with dramatic views of the ocean. This side of the island is accessible by 4x4 vehicles, a jeep tour or by horseback and there are very few dirt & rock roads that lead to this side. The western end is where Palm Beach is which has nice beaches with sand dunes and also the California Lighthouse is located here. The east end is a little more remote and is where Baby Beach, San Nicolas Bay, and the oil refinery are located.

Where to stay in Aruba? There are low rise hotels, high rise hotels and timeshare rentals and many first class hotels and resorts that offer all inclusive packages or just weekly stay rates. In Aruba you will also find timeshares for sale and for rent in different price ranges. I would suggest if you are interested in timeshare ownership inquire within the sales office of the timeshare you are interested in. Some resort companies offer promotional discounted rates for vacationers that have interest in owning a timeshare. For your best value and protection of investment stay with the larger vacation timeshare companies that offer villas for sale like Marriott Vacation Club. MVCI offers some of the best values in timeshare ownership and flexibility of occupancy for the weeks available in your package for reservation.

Aruba’s largest waterslide park had its grand opening- Morgan’s Island Waterpark, the biggest water park in the Caribbean and Latin America. Morgan’s Island has water fun and pools for everyone. A children’s playground and pool with life guards, water tubes, 2- giant wave pools, game center, onsite restaurant, souvenir and gift shop. Water slides include the Dragon revenge and Buccaneer Tower featuring a 63 foot vertical drop considered the second tallest and fastest free fall waterslide in the world. Morgan’s Island is open daily from 10:am to 6:00pm There are locker rooms with showers and changing areas. The park has water activities for all ages and family themed with shaded areas with lounge chairs and no towels are supplied.

Travel Tip – Returning Home….

That long trip…this is the hardest thing to do during your whole vacation is leaving this tropical Paradise to go home. Plan to be at the airport about 3 hours before flight departure. Allow some more time if you are going to make several purchases in the airports Duty Free Shops. The lines will be long but they move steady, you will have to pass thru US Customs & Immigration while still in Aruba. This makes your landing destination easy and a breeze- upon landing home just exit the plane, pick up your baggage and leave the airport. So the painstaking waiting from earlier pays off.
