Aruba
Hyatt Regency
Aruba lies at the heart of the southern Caribbean, about two-and-a-half hours by air from Miami, Florida
and 15 miles north of Venezuela. The island is 19.6 miles long, and six miles across at its widest point,
with a total area of 70 square miles. Aruba is outside the hurricane belt and the island boasts year-round
great weather, cooling trade winds and friendly people. On the island's south coast, the topography
and vegetation are unusual for a Caribbean island. On the south and west coasts are miles of
pristine white beaches that rank among the most beautiful in the world, rimmed by calm blue seas
with visibility in some areas to a depth of a hundred feet. The northeast coast, along the Atlantic shore,
is rugged and wild. The interior is desert-like, with a variety of cacti and dramatic rock formations.
Aruba is best know for its "Las Vegas like terrain," casinos, shows, shopping, beaches and lots of
restaurants. If you would like the concept of Las Vegas with a beautiful Caribbean Sea then you
would like Aruba. For more general information about Aruba please see the Official
