Question
Hello! I'm planning on a trip to Aruba with 9 friends next year end of July/
beginning August. I was wondering how the weather is and if what I've read on
the internet is somewhat misleading. I've read that you should avoid August and
that the weather is much hotter and humid. Also, would you recommend staying
at a private villa since we're traveling as a large group.  

Answer
Hi Raechelle!  Funny timing..I just booked my ticket for Aruba an hour ago, as I ALWAYS go in August because the weather is about the best at that time. The only problem with a Villa, is that they are all away from the beach areas, and are either a walk or a ride to get to the shore. I assume with 9 people, price is an issue for rooms. I would check other options, as August is a slow period, and you can find rooms at a reasonable rate. Get back to me if you need any other info on this.
