Hi Vicco, just got back this morning!

We loved it in Aruba :D The weather was hot but you do have the tradewinds blowing constantly (pleasant but didn't do much for my hair :shock: )

It is a small island so very easy to get around. We stayed in the low rise area (Tamarjin) and cycled up to the high rise.
We personally preferred the low rise area. The beach was superb and there was a lot of space - think it is more crowded up in the high rise area.

We went to de Palm Island where there is a reef, so went snorkeling and did Sea Trek (walking on the ocean floor with a helmet on!) They also did Snuba (combination of snorkeling and scuba).

Husband and son went on the helicopter island tour which they really enjoyed.

We went shopping in town where there are some designer shops.

Not sure of the nightlife as stayed in either Tamarjin or Divi. There is a casino in the grounds.

Also saw a Party Bus going around stopping at all the bars (can't comment on it as I am waaaay past all that!)

Let me know if there is anything else you would like to know.

The newspaper on Aruba doesn't bother to publish weather forecasts.
The answer is always the same.
It will be about 82 and sunny.
The same goes for a lot of the Caribbean- there's not much seasonal variation in temperature- just a wet and a dry season.
