Aruba: A Caribbean Delight

Are you thinking about a summer vacation that offers sun, sand, entertainment, and great food?  Well Aruba may be the place for you.

Approximately four and a half hours from New York, you can wing your way to a tropical paradise and hit the beach upon arrival.  The Americana Aruba Beach Resort and Casino is only three miles from Oranjestad airport.  The hotel is nestled further inland than most hotels, which decreases the amount of wind that is associated with Palm Beach.

The rooms are wonderful and the hotel has such amenities as a pool, Jacuzzi, and open air dining with entertainment.  You can settle in and never stray far from your hotel while still enjoying the benefits it has to offer.  Moreover, the people of Aruba are most friendly!

Or, if you prefer, you can take a day trip by taxi into town and do a bit of shopping.  Or you can venture out to Oranjestad’s harbor where you can find bargains galore.  It should be noted, however, that most of the items you find in stores are imported.  But, you can still purchase beautiful handcrafted items such as pottery, linens, crystal, jewelry, and fabrics rich in color as well.

There are plenty of restaurants in Aruba if you wish to enjoy a change of pace.  There is everything from ribs at Smokey Joes to seafood at Chalet Suisse or restaurants located in hotels along the beach.  The Americana Aruba has oceanfront and poolside dining as well as entertainment at the Garden Brazilian Lounge.

If you care to venture out for some sightseeing, you can sign up for a tour to Aruba’s Natural Bridge which is one of more well-known attractions.  Made of coral, the bridge is 25 feet high and 100 feet long.  

You may also be inclined to visit the Aruba Aloe Factory where you can witness firsthand how aloe is produced.  Afterward, you can shop at their outlet and purchase some aloe as well.

One of the best things about Aruba is that it is very safe.  If you are traveling alone, you can take a trip to town via the local bus that stops in front of your hotel, or sign up with the local tour company to visit museums, a butterfly or ostrich farm, or Arikok National Park where ancient Arawak drawings have been found.  Perhaps you may even come across the divi-divi, a large and unusual shrub native to Aruba.

Rest, relaxation, great food, entertainment, shopping, and a bit of sightseeing will make your summer vacation in Aruba a memorable one.  Check out the online packages or call your travel agent
