The bigger picture for Aruba
- Best overall: Any month — Aruba sits outside the hurricane belt with near-constant weather.
- Best value: September-November, when rates drop 30-40% with essentially no weather risk.
- Watch out for: None serious — January-March carries the highest prices, not the worst weather.
