I personally dislike Aruba--it's scrubby and arid, but there are good beaches if you like windsurfing. I do not care for their government (Natalie Holloway) I stopped going there several yrs prior to her disappearance just because of disinterest. I can think of so manyother island options in the Carib. Altho I have retired pals who go there 3-6 times a year, I don't get it.
