Advantages: Lovely beaches! Grat waves for surfers! Disadvantages: Can't think of any.
...Bon vini Aruba (in their local language called "papiamento" means "welcome to Aruba") is what your passport will say if you come to this friendly island, or as they call it, and you'll also be able to read in that funny stamp with palms, "one happy island".
Happy indeed. The island is a paradise for families or lovers. It is also a well-known resort from windsurfers, so the youth that enjoy this kind of water activities will find their place in here too.
the nightlife is kind of poor, but it depends on the hotel where you're staying, some of them organize plays, games, bingos, dances, competition, and all the typical variety that beach resorts offers. if not a visit to the city will impress you in a nice way, full of lights, music everywhere, and all in a healthy and safe environment.

Advantages: Many beaches and places to go Disadvantages: You will not want to leave
...Aruba is incredible. If you go to Aruba you will have to go for a swim at the beautiful beaches.If you like the beach you can go to "Palm Beach", "Druif Beach", "Eagle Beach". Or you can just stop for a swim at any beach that you past by. Some places that you can go to hang out or have a couple of drinks are, "Cuba's Cookin', "black hog saloon", Garufa cigar and cocktail lounge". In Aruba you can go for a ride on "Banana bus" or "Kukoo Kunuku". If you are looking for a cheap place to stay you can stay at some affordable places like, "Talk of the town beach resort", "casa del mar beach resort", or "Amsterdam manor beach resort". These palces are very nice and are great prices....

...I have just returned from a long weekend in Aruba (decadent I know but I work in the travel industry).
Just twenty miles off the coast of South America and far from the Hurricane Belt this island is hot (28c) all year round. Known as the Dutch Antilles locals speak Dutch, Spanish and American. Currency is Arubian Florins but every one used US dollars.
After a 9 hour flight we arrived on the Friday evening to a welcoming smile from the ground staff in the air conditioned airport.
Outside we quickly negotiated a taxi to our Hotel 'The Windmill Resort' Palm Beach (all taxis are a fixed cost of $20 US). Our taxi driver took us through the capital 'Oranjestad' and pointed out some popular bars and a few basic things about the island. Most importantly every where accepts US Dollars most of the Casinos are open until 5am and there are 2 resort...
