Aruba

Aruba - the Honeymoon Capital of the Caribbean. Posh resorts bordering silky white-sand strands along its west coast provide respite for stressed newlyweds and hopping nightlife, casinos and nightclubs go Euro-style into the wee hours. Capital Oranjsted is at once cosmopolitan and quaint. Its array international dining options is as good as any in the Caribbean and duty-free shopping abounds. But perhaps the most precious of the island's treasures is its people, a mixture of more than 40 nationalities, including Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, African, English and French.
