When it's cold and wintery in North America, demand for Aruba's warmth and sunshine peaks. Roughly speaking, the island's high season runs from mid-December to mid-April.
During this period, hotels charge their highest prices, and you'll need to reserve a room well in advance -- months in advance if you want to bask on the beach over Christmas or in the depths of February. Guests during the high season tend to be older and wealthier, although there are plenty of families.
The national mix weighs heavily toward Americans and Canadians. The off season -- roughly from mid-April to mid-December although it varies from hotel to hotel -- is one big summer sale. But if you think Aruba's a ghost town in the summer, think again. The deals are so attractive, and the season dovetails so nicely with Europe's traditional vacation time and South America's winter, that the island's resorts are still pretty full.
The mix of visitors shifts in the summer toward families, Europeans especially Dutch , South Americans, and the more budget conscious from everywhere.
Americans still make up the largest national group. Some activities and attractions scale back a bit in the summer, but not much.
