I went to Aruba about 3 years ago. It is a desert island with a constant breeze. Having grown up in Florida, neither my wife or I found Aruba to be that hot. There really isn't a lot to do there except hang out at the beach and do a few touristy excursions. There were party buses and a several night clubs that the younger crowds seemed to enjoy. The poker rooms opened around 10PM every night and there was a 1/2 PLHE game most nights at the Holiday Inn (no idea if that is still accurate).

One restaurant my wife and I really enjoyed was the Driftwood. It is located downtown. The owner runs a fishing boat during the day and you eat what he catches at night. His wife is the restaurant hostess. Good food at a good price.
