Now that it’s 2017, I bet you are already planning your vacation, but where shall you go? Well, if you’re into staying at all-inclusive resorts in general but are looking for the best all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean, look no further than Aruba. Don't just take our word for it, be sure to check out Aruba's all inclusive resorts reviews on TripAdvisor.
There are so many reasons why our visitors keep coming back year after year; our pristine white-sand stretches of beaches our constant cooling breeze thanks to the famous Caribbean trade winds, our locals (the friendliest people you will ever encounter), and let’s not forget to mention that Aruba has more sunny days each year than anywhere else in the Caribbean!
But besides these obvious valid reasons to choose Aruba over any other Caribbean destination, Aruba is also home to some of the best all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean. What makes them the Caribbean’s best all-inclusive resorts? They’re right here, in Aruba, which offers 5 absolutely incredible benefits:
1.Aruba is Safe to Explore
The city of Oranjestad
As one of the safest islands in the Caribbean (as reported by the United Nations), Aruba’s all-inclusive guests are not bound to their hotel property. Visiting Aruba, you will be free and completely safe to rent a car, ATV, UTV or jeep and roam around the island and explore all that Aruba has to offer! If you are coming down with your family, there are plenty of kids’ activities to do as well, such as the Butterfly Farm, the Philip’s Animal Garden or the Donkey Sanctuary. Or, if you’re looking to do the typical Caribbean beach vacation, feel free to relax on our family-friendly beaches, featuring calm waters where even the littlest ones are completely safe to enter the water with mom and dad!
2.Palm Beach Aruba is Exciting
Palm Beach Aruba
Most of Aruba’s high-rise hotels are situated alongside the beautiful and bustling Palm Beach Strip, which means that staying in an Aruba all-inclusive resort doesn’t leave you isolated in the middle of nowhere like in other Caribbean destinations. When you are staying at an Aruba all-inclusive resort, you can leisurely stroll on the boardwalks, one alongside the beach and one on the concrete pavement on the road side, connecting all the hotels to each other and to local restaurants.
There is plenty of shopping and nightlife nearby our all-inclusives; just cross the street to find the Paseo Herencia Mall, the Palm Beach Plaza Mall and further down south the Arawak garden and the South Beach Plaza.
On the Palm beach itself there are also plenty of watersports providers ready to take you on a fun banana boat ride, teach you how to do paddle board yoga or take you on a dive to explore one of Aruba’s shipwrecks.
3.Aruba has over 250 Restaurants
Romantic dinner on the beach, anyone?
Of course, staying in an all-inclusive resort is a very hassle-free and relaxed way to vacation, but many visitors want some variety in the food that they eat during their vacation, and in other destinations, that may be difficult. Fortunately, our Aruba all-inclusive resorts all feature more than 5 restaurants each, so going for breakfast, lunch and dinner will never get boring! And people looking for even more variety will be pleased to find that Aruba also boasts more than 250 restaurants, ranging from the high-end fine dining restaurants to the local fisherman’s shack at the beach, making Aruba a true melting pot for delectable Caribbean cuisine. It would be a shame to pass up on those culinary delights.
4.Arubans also like to Eat and have Fun!
Aruba's World Famous Carnival
Aruba has the second highest GDP in the Caribbean, which means that Arubans can also afford to wine and dine! Especially during the Holiday season, you will see Aruban families eating at fancy restaurants, and shopping in our main-street or at our high-end shopping malls. Explore our Holiday traditions, such as Dande at New Years. We spend a ton load of money on fireworks, I can tell you that!
Top that off with Carnival, our biggest party of the year taking place in February, and you will see Arubans drenched in sequins, feathers, glitter and gemstones shaking it to our sweet soca music! Immerse yourself in this experience and you will forever be in love with Aruba Carnival!
5.Aruba has great all-inclusive resorts
