Aruba is one of the most unique islands in the Caribbean. Located just off-shore from Venezuela, Aruba's cacti-filled desert climate differs from the lush, tropical climates of other Caribbean islands. Besides the arid landscape, Aruba offers warm beaches, luxurious resorts, historic towns dating back to the Colonial Era, scuba diving and sailing. If you want to turn your trip to Aruba into a dream vacation, it is important that you find the best hotel.
