Who: Jennah Keidel and Nathan Jones of Buena Vista
Where: North coast
Best meal: Feel the sand between your toes as you dine on local cuisine at the Flying Fishbone in Savaneta. At this restaurant you can enjoy a sunset dinner on the beach while waves lap against your bare feet.
Best deal: Rent quality mountain bikes from Tri-Bike Aruba in San Carlos; only $15 a day to ride along the rugged north coast.
Best time to go: Aruba stays very hot and humid year-round; choose the slightly cooler winter months. The rainy season is wimpy, but lasts from December through January.
Best travel tip: Avoid the crowds in the northwest and venture to the southwest end of the island and Baby Beach for the best snorkeling, a local favorite.
