Aruba: The Perfect Vacation Spot

Aruba is a country filled with sunny days, salty air, and wonderful beaches. The country is known to be “One Happy Island.” It is a major tourist destination for those hoping to escape their stressful lives, and enter a relaxing atmosphere.

There are two areas of hotels in Aruba. There are the “High Rise Hotels” and there are the “Low Rise Hotels.” No matter which area you travel to, you will find yourself in a highly populated area. The High Rise Hotels consist of hotels such as the RIU, the Marriot, the Hyatt, the Radisson, the Occidental, the Holiday Inn, and the Ritz Carlton. The Low Rise Hotels consists of the Divi, the Aruba Phoenix, the Costa Linda, and La Cabana.

All of these hotels are located right on the beach. These beaches are filled with chairs and huts from your hotels, where you can sit and enjoy a wonderful day relaxing. On these beaches, there is snorkeling, wreck diving, windsurfing, and tubing, and many other activities for water sport enthusiasts.

However, there is much more to do then sit on the beach. There is a national park, called Arikok National Park, which is a desert-like preserve with a variety of wildlife, cacti, ancient caves and dramatic rock formations. There is also the option to hike up some of the Caribbean’s most striking views, as the ocean crashes against the rocky shoreline.

Aruba also is a great culinary experience, with extremely diverse foods. There are several restaurants located along the hotel strips as well as in the town nearby. Many of these restaurants are right on the beach, and tourists can sit in the sand while eating.

Aruba is a great vacation spot for many due to the relaxation and calming atmosphere. It is perfect for everyone, whether someone is traveling with his or her family, friends, or spouse. No one can resist enjoying the beautiful Caribbean waves and food.IMG_2060IMG_2035IMG_2025IMG_1989
