I want to go back to Aruba in the off season, not alot of people, low key. When is the best times to go? We will be flying and staying a week.

We have been there around this time of the year (October/November) and airfare was inexpensive and its pretty quiet.

Anytime in December prior to December 18.

October, at least at the Marriott Ocean Club is a steady increase each week in October.

Week#1 has a large influx of S. American guest and retirees there for multiple weeks.
Week#2 the retirees increase and S. American guest stay about the same. This year was busier with all the 10/10/10 honeymooners.
Week#3 S. American crowd thins out this week and this may be peak week for the retirees.
Week#4 is slower by July and January standards but this is really a full week at MOC

1st Week of November we avoid. New Jersey schools are closed that week and MOC is very July like this week.

Hope that helps.

May & September are the slowest month in Aruba.

Mid May to Mid June.
Also most cruise ships stop calling end of May and school children don't arrive till late June.

We go the 2nd full week in Sept (not labor day week)

Only been three times and each time it felt almost private.
