When arriving at the Aruba Marriott, it’s easy to get sidetracked from checking in. The lobby’s dominated by taste temptations. Greeters welcome guests with cups of Aruba punch. A sushi chef’s busy slicing and rolling up fresh ingredients. Baristas make hot and cold designer coffee drinks. Cooks prepare made-to-order generously topped flatbreads. And the bartender, Jayna, captivates guests with jokes and cocktails such as the Aruba Ariba, which is the welcome punch with rum and other spirits added.
Aruba, part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, lies just north of Venezuela and beyond the Caribbean’s hurricane belt. That’s one reason it’s a go-to for many seasoned island vacationers. Other reasons include consistently good weather, pretty beaches with gentle clear waters — and the hotter-than-ever food scene.
