Aruba Hotels

Aruba is a luxurious island in Caribbean Sea situated only 15 miles away from the coasts of Venezuela. Aruba has some distinct characteristics that set it apart from other Caribbean Isles.

The island is about 20 miles long and very very thin, so it has two main coastlines, one at northeast and the other, at southwest of the island. The northeastern beach is open to Atlantic Ocean, so is windy and wavy. There are fine beaches, but the thing to enjoy here is surfing, kite surfing and windsurfing. There are cliffs around this coastline as well. The other coastline, the southwestern, faces the much calmer Caribbean Sea. This is the region where you should enjoy the marvelous white sand beaches. Most importantly, aruba is a surprise-free island, it doesn't rain as often as it does in other tropical zones. This island is out of the hurricane zone too. The sun is always boiling hot but there is a constant cooler wind that blows your worries away. With these qualities, the climate can be called perfect for enjoying the beach. And for that maximum pleasure, every need of you is thought of and offered in the top quality hotels and resorts. Casinos, shopping areas featuring designer boutiques, fine restaurants and excellent nightlife; facilities are abundant. There is even a national park for eco-enthusiasts.

The midlands of the island is mostly arid and has cactus and native divi-divi trees. Aloe Vera plants are seen everywhere and has an industry based on them. The capital, Oranjestad as the name suggests, is orange in color, due to historic Dutch presence. The locals are multilingual and very warm.

Aruba offers all of the usual activities in a luxurious manner with non of the bad surprises or drawbacks. It is not a quiet corner of the earth, it is a guaranteed blast.
