Tourists love the Caribbean. Aruba tops the list of places to visit in the region due to its consistently warm and sunny climate. Due to a fast growing tourism industry, hotels in Aruba are very competitive. Once a hotel introduces a new feature or amenity, other hotels make the move to match or improve the new product or service in no time. Because of this mindset, almost all hotels in Aruba have casinos, gyms, spas, restaurants, bars, gardens, and pools. Yet with all these amenities, hotels still offer incredibly affordable prices.
With so many hotels to choose from (and nearly identical amenities and services), here are some simple guidelines to help you choose the perfect Aruba hotel. The budget is usually the main concern of every tourist. There are several hotels that offer accommodation of the highest standards at affordable prices. You can even get bargain prices during off-peak seasons or promotional periods. However, hotel prices can be very unpredictable as they can vary from month to month.
If you don’t need all the first-class amenities and services that come with a luxury hotel, there are also several low-rise hotels that come with fully equipped kitchens. These hotels are conveniently located near the beaches and offer guests much lower rates.
Convenience would likely be the next consideration after cost. In Aruba, the proximity of the city’s beaches and restaurants is not an issue, as many of the high-rise hotels are clustered together, allowing you the freedom to wander around the city at your convenience.
If you are looking to tour the land of Aruba, many of the hotels offer package tours that come with the accommodation of your choice. It is advisable to calculate the cost of the tour. Hotel tours are often more expensive than an itinerary that you can prepare on your own or with the help of your local tour operator.
