Best Aruba Resorts

Aruba sure attracts a lot of visitors seeking a quality Caribbean travel experience. Honeymooners make up a the bulk of the party but there is really something for everyone. Great seafood, a rich Dutch history, and a good vibe evident in Oranjestad and the main cities. At around 20 km in length Aruba is not huge at all, but it is special.
