Aruba is a beautiful island located in the southern Caribbean Sea and is known for its stunning white sandy beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and year-round warm weather.  The island’s economy is primarily based on tourism, with many visitors coming to enjoy its beautiful beaches, water sports, and vibrant nightlife. Aruba is also known for its diverse marine life and is a popular destination for snorkeling and scuba diving enthusiasts. Let’s do a Friday Family Vacation to Aruba!

Flights

American Airlines is one of the best airlines for flying to the Caribbean. We are flying from New York City, so let’s see what we can find. Looking at the 30-day calendar makes it a lot easier to see the cheaper options.

20K roundtrip to Aruba is reasonable. Our family of four can fly for 80K roundtrip. We can get there with just a couple of credit cards.

 

 

Hotels

The Holiday Inn Resort Aruba-Beach Resort & Casino has received a great review from one of our readers.  A room with two double beds will cost 42K points/night.

 

I don’t know about you, but four people in two double beds isn’t going to cut it for me. I would prefer to stay at the Hyatt Regency Resort Spa and Casino for 25K points/night in two queen beds! And this resort looks GREAT! Jess actually had this booked pre-COVID and had to cancel it.

Bottom Line

Imagine the thrill of taking your family to the turquoise waters of Aruba for just a few credit card sign-up bonuses! Our Friday Family Vacation to Aruba outlines just one way you can do this. There are countless other ways to fly and stay there—all with credit card points and miles!
