La Cabana climate - a reason to plan your trip now
The curse of much of the Caribbean, hurricanes are something you can gleefully ignore if you're vacationing in Aruba. The island is miles and miles from the storms that wreak havoc on much of the region from June to November. On rare occasions, storm activity far to the north is so violent it causes wave action to ripple in Aruba. Some damage has occurred over the years, but it's relatively negligible. Because the weather is consistently nice year-round, Aruba's high and low seasons reflect climates in the United States and Canada rather than weather on the island. When it's cold and wintry in North America, demand for Aruba's warmth and sunshine peaks. Roughly speaking, the island's high season runs from mid-December to mid-April. During this period, hotels charge their highest prices, and you'll need to reserve a room well in advance -- months in advance if you want to bask on the beach over Christmas or in the depths of February. Guests during the high season tend to be older and wealthier, although there are plenty of families. The national mix weighs heavily toward Americans and Canadians. The off season -- roughly from mid-April to mid-December (although it varies from hotel to hotel) -- is one big summer sale. All resorts routinely slash their room rates, which means you can get the same accommodations in the low season for 20% to 50% less than you would in darkest winter. But if you think Aruba's a ghost town in the summer, think again. The deals are so attractive, and the season dovetails so nicely with Europe's traditional vacation time and South America's winter, that the island's resorts are still pretty full. The mix of visitors in the summer shifts toward families, Europeans (especially Dutch), South Americans, and the more budget-conscious from everywhere. Americans still make up the largest national group. Some activities and attractions scale back a bit in the summer, but not much. For example, instead of six excursions a day, a tour operator may offer only three; restaurants might close an hour earlier; and hotels may use the "downtime" for new construction or renovation (ask if work is scheduled; if it's potentially disturbing, request a room far away from the noise). If you're single and want crowds, don't worry. Lots of potential playmates are around in the summer, too.
