A well-known honeymoon choice, Aruba is one of the few islands considered "safe" during hurricane season: Closer to the Equator than other Caribbean nations, Aruba hotels enjoy high occupancy year-round as they are believed to be outside the hurricane zone.
Honeymoon couples and other romantics vacationing between June and November can have a degree of certitude that an Aruba trip won't be a washout.

Choosing Hotels in Aruba
Aruba has two main categories of hotels: low-rise hotels, which primarily cater to Europeans on a honeymoon or vacation, and high-rise hotels, which American tourists favor. What Aruba lacks, however, are notably stylish and high-end hotels, such as Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons hotels. There are also limited attractions beyond the beach, gambling, shopping, and dining out. Couples seeking a conventional Caribbean beach vacation may find the following suit their needs:
-
Low-Rise Aruba Hotels
- Bucuti Beach Resort (pictured) for couples only, Bucuti Beach is low-key, tasteful, and romantic
- Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort one of Aruba's Dutch-European hotels, across from wide Eagle Beach
High-Rise Aruba Hotels - Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino right in the center of Oranjestad, the capital, the Aruba Renaissance encompasses both city and beach hotels
- Hyatt Regency Aruba (beach palapa pictured) favored by many vacationers as one of the top hotels on Aruba; recently upgraded
- Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino the only Aruba hotel with dedicated honeymoon suites.

I have been coming to Aruba for 22 years and it is still one of the most beautiful places on earth for many wonderful reasons. Now we will have your headline name…Ritz Carlton…on the northern part of the Palm Beach hotels; just past the existing Marriot hotel. Groundbreaking just started. Talk of your other name, 4 Seasons, is present in many circles now too as an Arashi beach location may have been chosen as of this writing! Socialized healthcare and education help foster an environment of peace and low crime, while the children born on the island learn 5 languages by the time they enter high school. “One Happy Island” is true because the people are happy. Perfect dry desert island weather all year long with very few days without sun make for a fun and healthy lifestyle. Bon Bini, Lee
