we have been going to Aruba for many years. Yes there are changes, but not the reasons we go. The people are still the friendliest and just so much fun. The weather is the best in the whole world. Nobody can change that. We spent the month of January there this year and not enough I came home kicking and screaming. I love Aruba and the people. This was my daughters first time going t and what she absolutely couldn't stop talking about is the weather. So they can build and they can trash and people can complain but come on guys THAT WEATHER!! I think we can all agree on that.
