Summer and fall, meanwhile, have their own weather risks. Hurricane season stretches from June to November, and Bermuda lies in the middle of what's known as "hurricane alley." Direct hits are rare — according to the Bermudian, the destination tends to see just one damaging tropical storm every six or seven years. But combined with summer's steep prices, high humidity, and large crowds, the possibility might be the tipping point for extra-cautious travelers.

What do you mean be very careful? Of what?

For a couples' trip, Bermuda. Aruba is HOT and more for families.

So not there.

+1 so very windy, and you’d better take sunscreen very seriously. Practically all of the tourists are sunburned.

Have not been to Aruba. Bermuda is such a quick direct trip, so easy for shorter vacation. Friends recently stayed at the Rosewood and would recommend.

If you could do a full week, Aruba. Bermudan for a smaller time. Both have their charms but Aruba will be hot.🥵

In the summer -- Bermuda. Aruba will be blazing hot.

Both are pretty cliche

Barbados

I burned so quickly in Aruba even with sunscreen not in the summer. I'd go to Bermuda.

Bermuda is much easier to get to, so I would pick that one.

I love the Britishness of Bermuda, the pastel houses, afternoon tea, and the moderate weather. Aruba is desert-y.

Looking for a 4-5 night getaway with my husband in July. Which one do you recommend? Is there a particular hotel or resort you like on either island? Is there more to do in one rather than the other?
