Aruba - nothing but wind!!

A June 2003 trip to Aruba by Vern's Travels

Aruba is very, very windy. The island is very small and the beach at our resort was very rough. It is not a good place for a little one.

Resort Experience:
Unfortunately, I don't have anything nice to say about Aruba or the resort. We will never return. My son was unable to enjoy the pool because the kiddie pool didn't allow children with diapers (even swim diaper) in the pool. The staff was not friendly. You definitely need a car to get around. We were at least able to visit calmer beaches and see local areas. The one-bedroom accommodations are not on the beach. The food was OK; our best meal was at Hooters!! The resort definitely lacked any activity. I'm not sure if it was the wrong time to go to Aruba or not, but I will never go back.
