Have been to Aruba 3 times and really enjoyed it. You’ll want to stay on Palm Beach and highly recommend the Hilton Resort on Palm Beach. Great central location & I believe with the best overall grounds & beach area. While some great restaurant options on property, would definitely recommend a non all inclusive. Experience some other restaurants on island, to include Madame Janette, short cab ride away & Ruinas Del Mar at the Hyatt (very short walk from Hilton). There’s also a really good Brazilian steak house downtown Oranjestad, but name escapes me. Unless something has changed of late, it’s a very safe island. BTW…great local beer, Balashi. Set up shop under a palapa on beach at Hilton with buckets of Balashi all day, and enjoy!
