Aruba, Couple travel
10/10 out of all 7 islands I visited! The water was so calm (did have quite a few floating flower seeds/leaves in the water however). The attractions were beautiful and the light house was so nice to see up so close in person! Tour guide was nice and informative.

I felt very, very safe the only thing I recommend is that if you're going to the natural pools, bring shirts or tops that cover your chest. I was in a bikini and the waves are aggressive, so much so that one of my breasts got exposed. I wasn't the only one this happened to. On the other hand, the food is excellent, the sea is beautiful and relaxing; truly everything PERFECT.

Is not a place necessarily for backpackers... It can be expensive because they don't use Uber and buses are in very specific times. The beaches and the sand are amazing but I recommend to just go if you're in a larger group and if you can get a rented car as the distances are quite long. However, I managed to take some buses, so is not impossible. a lot of foreign people, European mostly.

Aruba is an absolutely amazing country. I felt safe the entire time I was on the island. The locals are very kind and welcoming. There is some super cool things to do, such as riding horseback through the National park, watching the planes come in on the beach, scuba diving, and so many different hikes. While Aruba isn’t a huge solo traveller destination, I met some amazing people on the island and would definitely recommend visiting the island.

I felt very safe in Aruba. You can get around by renting a car or taxi. We rented a car and will again when we go next. The beaches are nice and it’s not hard to find a quiet spot, eagle beach was my favorite! I would recommend the horseback riding tour!
