Travel Info
Any great hotel deals there?

Travel Tips
Depending on what you want to get out of Aruba. You can go on a jeep tour or rent a car and see the lighthouse, ruins, natural bridge (or what's left of it), the desert/rocky coast OR you can go to the many great beaches. The hotels are mostly at Eagle Beach which is nice. We also enjoyed snorkeling at Baby Beach, but it's a little bit of a drive. If you are just there for the day on a cruise, I would suggest taking one of the snorkel trips. Oranjestad is pretty good for shopping but it gets old after a couple of hours

Others
the only thing you will get in aruba is kidnapped
great beaches (palm and eagle beaches)
horseback riding on beach
snorkel trips
casinos
rent a jeep and drive along coast and desert
outdoor concerts
shopping
I didn't stay the night there (we stopped on a cruise).

We did the Jolly Pirates Adventure cruise. They took you out on a Schooner (sp?), got you drunk, fed you lunch, gave you some snorkel gear, and throw you overboard without a life jacket (at least most people didn't wear them).

They took us to snorkel in a sunken ship. they told is it was a WW2 Nazi hospital ship that was sunk. I have no idea if they were BS'ing or not.

I don't know if I would rank this as a family outing, but it was fun all the same.
