Aruba renders a vacation experience as uncommon as the island itself! If your vision of paradise consists of powder-white beaches and incredibly clear azure waters, Aruba is your paradise. This island of unusual landscapes, friendly residents, balmy breezes and tropical rhythms is an idyllic destination for anyone who loves the sun and surf. Its magnificent coast is one of the Caribbean's most beautiful stretches of beach.

With resorts that start at $44.00 dollars a day to $238.00 a day.

A few of my favorites are:

The Holiday Inn SunSpree Aruba will entice you from the moment you arrive. The porte cochere entrance, with beautiful, lush landscaping, welcomes you to a tropical paradise. A brick paved driveway leads to the open-air lobby with chandeliers, soft island music, elegant wood beam ceilings, and impressive tiled floors. Guests can expect attentive service and fine accommodations. All 600 modern, well-appointed guest rooms feature richly detailed furnishings, and the private balconies and patios afford you views of the beautiful Palm Beach, or tropical landscaping. Laze by the unique swimming pool or nap away the days in the shade of a palm. Four tennis courts, beach volleyball courts, and fully equipped Fitness Center will provide a physical challenge. Aruba is easy to get to, yet light years from anywhere you've been. Sunny, moderate days, soft white sand, and the rich island culture make Aruba an ideal place in the sun, and there is no better place to enjoy the jewel of the Dutch Caribbean.

Of course, wherever you travel, it is highly recommended that you take out insurance before embarking on any vacation.

Unfortunately, without insurance, you have little recourse if you have to suddenly cancel your trip due to illness or other unforeseeable circumstances. Realize that resorts like this will expect to be paid no matter what. However, with insurance, you can recoup some or all of your costs if and vacation plans change. insurance is very affordably priced, so please check out your options.
