The best way you could do is to search it in the forum. Your expenses would vary as to the number of days you would stay in the island. The site offers some of accommodations in Aruba. Are you traveling alone or with a group?

I am traveling with my hubby only..thanks for the tip i will check on it..

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.

This is quite a helpful post. It seems that I still have a lot of earnings to do. Has there been any discounts with fare to Aruba this year? For sure, the tourists would be glad to hear packages or deals with air fares.

i guess you have to check to you favorite travel agency since they do know a lot of this fare discounts and the likes:)

It's quite expensive to take a vacation in Europe once you are from Asia. It is sometimes a lot harder when exchange rates fluctuate. I hope that in Aruba, there wouldn't be a lot of changes in prices next year. What could be the other factors that we should consider when we go abroad?

i agree with you on that..i guess the greatest factor to consider is the exchange rate of currency that you are using and of course which varies on your location..

I am from Asia and I could say that it's quite costly. On the other hand, I travel only once and I know I would be satisfied with the price that I would pay. Of course, you have to consider the weather condition of the country you are going to visit. How many days would it take me to cruise around the island?
