When you think of island getaways, what comes to mind? Perhaps visions of palm trees swaying in the breeze, sandy beaches, and blue waters? Aruba is all of these things and more. The smallest island in the Dutch Caribbean also offers some nice hotel options for those who want to get away from it all without leaving home. The Holiday Inn Resort Aruba Beach Resort & Casino is one such option. If you’re reading this, we assume that you have already made up your mind about visiting Aruba. Good choice! The locals call it “Island of 365 beaches”. It’s a small but densely populated island with a population of just over 100,000 people (as of 2017). More than one-third of these inhabitants are expat Europeans who make their homes there year-round. Aruba is famous for its natural beauty; there are no large cities or industrial areas here. With that in mind, it’s easy to see why so many people choose to live on this little paradise indefinitely. And what better way to discover everything it has to offer than by staying in one of its hotels...

Awards and Recognition

Aruba has won multiple awards for its tourism industry. It has been named one of the best island destinations in the world by National Geographic, as well as one of the best island destinations for lovers. Aruba was also voted one of the top 10 beach destinations for families. This makes sense, given the number of things to do on the island. The Aruba Tourism Authority (ATV) is part of the Aruba Trade and Investment Council (ATIC). All of these organizations work together toward one goal: to make Aruba the #1 tourism destination in the Caribbean (and they’re well on their way!).

Best Season to Visit

Because the island has a tropical climate, there are few seasonal changes. The weather is fairly constant all year, with a warm and humid climate. The average daytime temperature is about 30°C (86°F). On average, the warmest months are February and March, with June and July being the coolest.The rainy season occurs between August and October, with September being the wettest month. It’s important to keep this in mind if you’re visiting during this time. The only time you might have to worry about rough seas and stormy weather is during the winter months (November to February). The seas tend to be choppier during this time, but it’s unlikely to cause major problems for visiting tourists.

Facilities and Activities

One thing that you will notice as soon as you land in Aruba is that the island is very clean. This is thanks in large part to the Aruban government, which strictly enforces a no-littering policy. The only place that littering is allowed is at the airport. There are also strict rules about keeping the beaches clean. If you want to bring a water bottle with you to the beach, you have to use a special bag to prevent it from getting into the sand. The Aruban government has also passed legislation protecting the natural flora and fauna of the island. Because of this, the only places you can find mosquitoes are in a couple of mangroves. The best way to enjoy Aruba is to spend some time at the beach. But not just any beach — you’ll get the full experience if you visit one of the island’s many beaches. Some of the most popular beaches include: - Arashi Beach: This is one of the most popular beaches in Aruba.
