Question
Hi Andy,
I have reservations made in Aruba from Aug 21 - Aug 28, I have been watching the weather forecast in Aruba for the past one month all I see is cloudy , rain , scattered showers, It is my first time to the Caribbean ,it is my anniversary and I am looking forward to a nice vacation with a nice weather. I need your opinion on that and also on Radisson Hotel.
PS: I have been saving for this trip for quite a while.
Thanks

Answer
Hi Tony! I will be in Aruba at the same time. I have been going there at this time for the past 23 years! I have only seen it rain twice, and for a short duration. ( Like 1/2 hour). They always say "cloudy/showers" in the reports, as in the tropical climates, a "sprinkle" may happen. These are more common, but only last about 2 to 5 minutes at best. Rest assured, you will have nice weather!. The raddison is a popular hotel. I have heard nothing but good things. Other hotels, I usually get complaints of poor service, bad food and other annoyances, but the Raddison seems to be problem free, and this is covering over 3 years of feedback. We may even pass each other at some point of time there. I saty 3 days at the Marriott Renaissance Marina and then go to my timeshare untill 9/1 at The Aruba Beach Club. I am looking forward to it..just as you are. If there is anything else I can help with, feel free to contact me again!
