I would book a cruise. They’ll dodge any hurricanes. You may not end up at all of the original planned ports, but you’d get something. And you could still have a good time on the ship regardless of what the weather does.

There is not much to do in Aruba. It’s a small island with not much happening or places to visit.

It’s because it’s hurricane season in August for most of the Caribbean, Grand Cayman included. That’s why Aruba is so popular in summer.

Hotels only

The others are no longer viable. I would not rent them now. We have before but the laws and costs are absurd.

Hyatt
Hilton
Ritz although not as good location.
RIU gross

Why is Riu gross?


Would also like to know why Riu is “gross”. Was there a year ago, no problems.

Another vote for Aruba or Bonaire

While we had rain each day, we had a wonderful vacation to key West last August, including snorkeling with Sun in the Fun charters. Flights were easy. Plenty of hotels and rentals, and lots else to do.
