Weather will be around 34 degrees, sunny and dry with nice tradewinds to keep it nice. Bring US dollars, or even better, just bring your debit or creditcard and use the machines on the island. No need to bring UK currency, as they won't take it. Compared to Jamaica, Aruba is very safe. You can do out for dinner or fun without any problems. I'm sure you will enjoy Aruba very much. |

I think you'll enjoy your stay in Aruba - great beaches, nice people, and a safe island to be "out and about". _________________ ~Amy~®

Hi Robert
You've made a great choice, Aruba is a lovely island.
It is very safe to wander about and has some great bars and restaurants.
We were there about 8 years ago and are returning in June. We've only taken so long to go back because we've visited other places but my wife and I both agree that Aruba is our favourite Caribbean island.
We stayed in the high rise area last time. Check out Sopranos bar. This time we are staying at the Bucuti in the low rise area, but we will visit the high rise area.
Places we tried and enjoyed last time included Passions, Sopranos and Pinchos. We were AI last time but B&B now so we'll be out and about a lot more.
Don't take sterling. US dollars are accepted everywhere and are your best option. Sadly the rate here in the UK at the moment ain't great but hopefully it'll improve.
I'm sure you'll have a great time. |
