IF you want a great vacation- this is where to go by suberk ,Aug 03 '05
Pros: Sunny almost all of the time , friendly people, lack of crime, great food. Cons: You have to go home eventually
I can't say anything bad. The island is so friendly, it truly is "One Happy Island" like the license plates say.
Many of the restaurants we ate in were great- and we look forward to going back.
Hands down the best was the "Flying Fishbone"- may be a bit out of the way (from the hotel area) but well worth the trip. The most amazing seafood- actually all the food we got there was EXCELLENT- do not miss it...
Also, not to be missed is "Driftwood"- they catch their fish in the late afternoon and serve it to you for dinner.
For dessert, you have to try "Suisse Chalet" for their Toblerone chocolate fondue-
All in all, you can't go wrong visiting Aruba.
Pros: Weather, Friendly people, Food, Transportation, Entertainment Cons: Tour guide companies are not very modernized
My husband and I went here for our honeymoon 3 years ago. We LOVED it! The people are soo friendly, the weather was beautiful, and the beaches were clean.
We did go horseback riding one day, and that wasn't a very good experience. Funny but not fun. We were beginners and the tour guides had us galloping on top of cliffs. I was ready to die from stomach cramps and they weren't very accommodating. It was very dirty, and I wouldn't recommend if you're a beginner.
I would recommend renting your own jeep and traveling across the island. They have tours, but renting your own was nicer. You could go at your own pace, and they give you a map of the island and good spots to visit.
It was a great trip for us, and we are looking to going back in the future. Plus it is the only island that has no hurricane season. Then you know your honeymoon won't be ruined. Make sure you go all inclusive. This way you can eat and drink all you want without having to worry about cash. No tipping is allowed.
This island was really disappointing. We've spent lots of time in the Carribean, and I found the island landscape quite boring and barren. It's also really, really humid and hot. Uncomfortably so. I personally much prefer Virgin Gorda, in the British Virgin Islands.
