Hi Everyone
My husband and I are planning a trip back to Aruba in April or May.
We have always gone in October and haven't had to worry about sping break.
Does Aruba get crazy like Cancun and filled with high school/college kids during this these two months?
Thanks!!

No. Too expensive for spring breakers.

not only is the cost a deterent for sprinb breakers, but the island itself is not well suited for such a crowd. aruba is a more family oriented and honeymoon destination spot.

that is right they will not be able to affort it

Yeah not many spring breakers in Aruba, also mostly they are there in March if any, by april or may its over unless they are going on a graduation trip.
Too pricey Aruba would rather not have them around.

Look at the tam or divi AI, low rise area. we will be at the tam 6-6/ 6-13

There are always some spring break visitors but nothing like Cancun. As mentioned, the prices prevent huge numbers of them. We go in March every year and there are usually a bunch on our flight down but as long as we avoid the high rise area, we don't really see them once we hit the island.

We have also been to Aruba in both October and April When we visit during April it is definitely busier -- more families traveling together than spring breakers, although you will see a few.
