4 Reasons To Head to Aruba for Your Next Vacation
Whether you’re fretting about the cold weather rolling into your area or you simply need a break from everyday life, if you’re thinking about a vacation, you need to be thinking about an all-inclusive package in Aruba. It’s the best spot for groups of friends, families and anyone else who just needs to get away from it all.
1. It’s a Foodie’s Dream
Although only 69 square miles, Aruba is home to more than 250 restaurants. Meals are included in the amenities at most of the resorts, but there are plenty of options for those who want to explore the island’s cuisine further. Whether you prefer fine dining or casual waterside eateries, you’ll find plenty of traditional Aruban dishes inspired by meals from Holland, the Caribbean and South America. Seafood and European and Dutch fare are also abundant, or if you’re feeling a bit homesick, there are several North American-inspired restaurants as well.
2. The Weather Is Always Great
Aruba is part of the Caribbean islands, but because it’s lucky enough to be outside of the main hurricane belt, it sees very few rainy days. The island gets more sun than any other island in the area, so vacationers almost never need to worry about spending money on a vacation that leaves them stuck in the rain or worse, needing to cancel due to hurricane threats. Just be sure to pack plenty of sunblock!
3. People of All Ages Will Find Things To Do
Aruba is truly a family-friendly Caribbean vacation. Whether you’re 5 years old or 55 years old, you’ll find plenty of entertainment on the island. The all-inclusive resorts plan a variety of age-appropriate activities just steps from your hotel door, or you can find a range of entertainment options on other parts of the island. Animal lovers of all ages enjoy spending time at Philips Animal Garden or the Donkey Sanctuary. Adventurous types can visit the climbing boulders at Casibari Rock formations, or history buffs can visit the Archeological Museum of Aruba. Of course, you can also spend plenty of time at the beach. San Nicolas even has a Baby Beach. The lagoon-formed area has warm water with no dangerous currents and provides plenty of sand to play in.
4. The Resorts Aren’t To Be Missed
Aruba is home to more than 20 all-inclusive resorts that make vacationing easy. These resorts offer packages that include everything from every meal to entertainment to alcohol. They even automatically add gratuity so that guests don’t need to calculate tips, making them a truly easy option. Many of the resorts take part in the One Happy Family Package, which offers special deals and promotions for families, including a gift for the kids at check-in. From the seaside Holiday Inn Beach Resort & Casino to Aruba’s original all-inclusive resort and the best family option, The Tamarijn, there is a resort for everyone, whether you’re traveling with family, friends or simply enjoying a vacation to yourself.
The United Nations reports that Aruba is one of the safest islands in the Caribbean, and visitors can rent vehicles to make exploring the area even easier. The hardest part will be deciding which all-inclusive resort to visit. Remember to book your vacation early as the island is one of the most popular destinations in the world!
