We live in Europe and a ticket to Aruba is around 500 Euro this time of the year. 500 Euro is about $700 But I think travel to Aruba from U.S. is much cheaper. We pay lots of airport tax. This is about 200 euro.
The Aruban florin is connected to the U.S. dollar. This means there is always the same exchange rate. 1 U.S. dollar is about 1,75 Aruban florin.
A cheap hotel calculates around the 60 U.S. dollar a night. Or 85 to 90 dollar for a 2 persons room a night. I am sure there are lots of cheaper options. If someone have any suggestions. Please let us know.

hi sunseeker you've been very helpful on this..thanks.. i am Asian..

That sounds really cheap. Remember you can save even more money on hotel and other things if you go out of season. There's less people, too, so maybe you'll get better service.

It seems cheap because the euro is worth quite a bit right now. It turns out to be much more in USD
