Sure, there are great beaches all around the Caribbean. But it’s hard to argue against the proposition that Aruba has just about the best collection of white-sand beaches there is in the Caribbean, from remote patches of sand like Baby Beach to the world-class Eagle Beach.
Either way, you’ll find the right beach for you — and now you can go to Aruba for less, thanks to some new offers from the Dutch Caribbean island’s hotels timed for “Leap Day.”
The thing is, you have to book them on Leap Day, February 29.
But the limited one-day booking window is worth — from an extra free day to 29 percent off your stay.
