I agree with Greek Girl. Aruba is a very safe place.....but as in any place, you just have to be safe.
What I remember most about the people is their friendliness, and honesty. I was going to take a trip over to Caracas, Venezuela one day ( since the country is only 20 miles away ) and the TRAVEL AGENT at the hotel told me ( as did 2 others ) that I did NOT ( and should not ) go there alone only in a group... So, I do appreciate their honesty....they could have made a sale, but chose safety instead. Pretty cool, I think.
