Aruba

Pros: Beautiful

Ah the smell of paradise that is what I think of when I think back to the time when I was a young girl and would go to Aruba with my parents every February vacation.
Aruba is so beautiful with the warm topical winds and the beautiful white sand...

Pros: Friendly people, interesting main town, constant warm weather with nice breezes
Cons: Not really tropical, more desert like.

We went to Aruba this summer for a week. The first thing we noticed was that we felt like we were still in the states. Very US in mood and style, despite this being a Dutch island. Everyone pretty much speaks English, but you do hear people speaking ...

Pros: Numerous things to do
Cons: You can't do them all

After talking with a few people, I have noticed that many people believe that because of the wonderful relaxing atmosphere in Aruba that there isn't a lot to do. Well, there is actually a great deal to do on this wonderful if small island.

Cons: Extreme wind at times

Are you looking for white sandy long beaches so brilliant that they glisten with the power of a million diamonds? Then aruba just may be the place. I have been here for the last seven years and all over the carribean- and aruba is always my favorite....

For me, Aruba is a bit of a paradox to review. On one hand I want to give it a glowing review for its spectacular beaches, world class resorts, tasty restaurants, warm and friendly people, and constant sunshine.

On the other hand you have to...

Pros: the weather
Cons: not a singles place

Review Topic:  Accommodations

Aruba was definitely a place you can relax at. It has near perfect weather! I was there for 8 days and 7 nights and it rained twice the whole time and it was only a little drizzle that lasted a half...

Pros: clear waters, clean beaches, no beach solicitation, safe, friendly islanders, beautifully landscaped resorts
Cons: uninteresting terrain, colorless coral, extremely expensive, time consuming to get there, couples paradise

First of all let me say that I read all the reviews before I selected Aruba as my vacation destination for Labor Day 2001. In saying that, most of what I say here I expected… to some degree. However there were instances where I was pleasantly surprised...

Pros: beautiful beaches, safe and friendly environment, great food
Cons: disappointing nature and history, the wind

Well, looking at all the reviews before me, the Epinions community can certainly be considered a fan of Aruba! I'll take a risk and write a review of Aruba that includes both the positives and the negatives of the island.

My wife and I...

Pros: Weather, Friendly People, Safety, Not Overcrowded
Cons: Since at Southern end of Caribbean, its a long trip

A beautiful island situated at the Southern end of the Caribbean, Aruba is a paradise. The weather is always beautiful and relatively dry, the people are more friendly than perhaps any island I have ever been to, and the prices are reasonable and cheap....

Aruba is a perfect vacation spot for anyone looking for romance, adventure & good food! The beaches are breath-taking (white sand, palm trees, clear light green seas), and the weather is perfect most days. Rent or buy snorkeling equipment and you...

Pros: Beautiful grounds, perfect service, everything to do under one roof
Cons: No room balconies; very expensive.

I've stayed at the Aruba Hyatt 4 times since it opened, and the place never ceases to please me. Unlike some other Caribbean destinations, the quality of service in Aruba is more than excellent--and the staff at the Aruba Hyatt is always eager to make...

Pros: weather is perfect, lots to do, great beaches
Cons: none

We went to Aruba for our Honeymoon and it is truly a perfect spot for a romantic getaway!

Cons: prices are a bit high

Con ta Bai?

I went to Aruba in August a couple years ago, for work. Tough assignment, I know, but someone had to do it. I was there for 3 weeks, working at the Coastal plant, on the southern part of the island by San Nicholas. I...
