As you plan (or dream about) your luxury vacation adventure, weather is always something to take into consideration. The tropical climate in Aruba means that it is hot all year-round. Although with humidity, the air is quite sticky, you'll be happy to know you will benefit from a constant breeze, especially on the East Coast, where the wind is strong and persistent. The precipitation received is only around 20-inches annually, and most of the rain occurs from October to December. The driest months are March, April, and May. With the sun being available from 7 to 10 hours all year, the waters are always warm enough to swim.

While there are no waterways or railways in Aruba, there are highways, paved roads, and an airport. As for public transportation, there is plenty. Buses run about every 15-minutes. They start before 6 a.m. and end at 6 p.m., but then run every 40-minutes until 11:30 p.m. The central bus station sits in downtown Oranjestad. A day pass for the bus is less than $10 USD.

Aside from buses, it is easy to take taxis and cruise ships, depending on where you're trying to go. There are also rental car options — the rates for a rental car run anywhere from around $40.00 to $90.00 daily. You can drive in Aruba with your U.S. license. An international license isn't necessary.

The official languages of Aruba are Papiamento and Dutch. However, most Arubans speak at least four languages. English and Spanish are usually the other two languages spoken by the natives. Papiamento is a language derived from French, Portuguese, English, Spanish, African, and Dutch dialects.
