We stay at Playa Linda, we own a timeshare there, this year will be our 20th in a row going back!
Aruba is a desert island, very warm and dry, constant breeze to keep you comforatble. It is one of the safest islands around.
The hi-rise hotels are all on Palm Beach, pure white sand, calm waters. You walk from your room right onto the beach.
There are loads of excellent restaurants. Two golf courses and casinos. There are shows at some of the hotels, and of course, plenty of stores to spend money in. There is snorkling, scuba, tubing, parasailing, water skiing, etc...
Our usual consists of wandering down to the beach, reading and cahtting with friends, deciding where to go out to eat that night, watching the sunset, going out to dinner, then hitting the casino.
I love it because it is total relaxation, no sightseeing.
