Advisor - The Ultimate Guide to One Happy Island: Aruba
Curator’s statement

Aruba is the most returned-to Caribbean Island. It is a destination that is fit for a girls' trip, a romantic getaway or a family vacation. The food, beaches and activities are incredible, but what makes it the most special is how safe you feel there — it truly is a home away from home.
