Aruba Travel Tips

Rest up at Sonesta Island, a 40-acre retreat with hidden coves, designated swimming areas, and pure white sand lined with shady palms.
Experience a windsurfer's dream in June, when year-round 25-mph gusts reach 35 mph.
Get a diver's-eye view of coral and sea critters without getting wet by boarding a recreational submarine.
Bounce along on a jeep tour of Aruba's rugged northeast coast.
Respect the "dress" code while sunning at resorts; less is more at quiet beaches along the northeast coast, as long as you don't mind the occasional horseback tour.
