For winter escapes, it's hard to beat the consistently warm island of Aruba. Situated in the south Caribbean, it showcases everything you'd expect from a picture of paradise –immaculate white-sand beaches, diving excursions to shipwrecks and swaying palm trees. Every day, cruise ships ferry over tourists from neighbouring islands to the Aruba’s capital of Oranjestad, keen to experience its energetic nightlife or shop for keepsakes at one of the famous jewellery stores. The town is also a great base for watersports. Diving schools cater for all abilities and offer views of everything from coral reefs to sunken World War II boats. The island's constant, cool breeze also makes it a hotspot for windsurfing and parasailing. Aruba is a beach mecca, offering everything from quiet retreats to bustling sunbathing sites. Situated in Oranjestad, Eagle Beach is generally thought of as one of the best beaches in the world. Throw your towel down on the soft, white sand and keep an eye out for newly hatched turtles making their first expedition into the turquoise ocean. Away from the pristine shores, Aruba has a striking desert terrain along its north coast. Jeep safaris and tours are available and make for an easy way to take in the jagged rock formations and colourful Cunucu houses. You can further immerse yourself in nature by visiting a bird sanctuary, butterfly farm or horseback riding through the countryside. Aruba features a wealth of first-class hotels and beach resorts, particularly along the northwestern coast of the island. If you prefer a more personal stay, a number of private homes or exclusive villas are available to rent out all year round.

Guest review
Beautiful new hotel, I really enjoyed my vacation.
The staff is very friendly and always at your service.
I recommend!
Just be careful if you put the bills on the room number. Accidentally or not, they overcharged us $200, but since I thoroughly reviewed everything on the bill and noted it in my notes, they corrected the mistake.
They charge you for breakfast on the first day of your stay even though you don't eat it because it ends before check-in. Just be careful.

Situated across from Eagle Beach, and offering free WiFi, this family hotel is located in a quiet area and offers relaxing facilities for a memorable Caribbean vacation.
Guest review
It's a small hotel but perfect to just relax. The staff is very kind and the room is enough. The beach is very close and the option of having chairs on the beach as a courtesy from the hotel is great. The beach is simply beautiful and you can stay there the whole day as there are plenty of restaurants nearby to eat. Particularly, I would recommend the Chalet Suisse, all the staff and the food were absolutely fantastic.

Budget boutique hotel.in the city center.
The property has been recently refurbished and staff couldn't be more helpful.
Even though if next to a parking lot, it's very quiet.

Guest review
All the staff were super, Leonardo's positive attitude was infectious upon arrival after a long tiring flight. Fresh new modern hotel, not beach front, but everything is within walking distance and easy to access. Concierge Valintina was excellent at arranging all activities and also with general help. The pools are also fantastic. I would happily stay here again.
