Aruba is located in the southern Caribbean, just 15 miles off the coast of Venezuela (and 12 degrees north of the equator). Aruba has excellent, year round, weather (with little rainfall).
If you’re into the full service hotel experience then consider the Hyatt Regency on Palm Beach (there are also smaller hotels on Eagle Beach) The Hyatt is a full service hotel with a private beach, multiple pools, bars, restaurants, and a casino. The staff and service are excellent, as are the food and drinks!
Aruba also has some of the best food in the Caribbean, consider the following restaurants if you visit the island:
- Papiamento Restaurant
- Sunset Grille
- Hostaria da’ Vittorio
- Cuba’s Cookin’
- El Gaucho
