Which island in the Caribbean?

We will be heading to Aruba this December, just because we would be avoiding any hurricanes, or any potential hurricane damage (just because the ABC islands are less prone to get hit with a hurricane because of their location). Plus, the water and the air temperature seems to be better here than any other islands in the Caribbean (water temperature in Aruba is 82 in December). Because I was trying to decide between St. Maarten and Aruba, and decided to go with Aruba. Betweent the ABC islands, I have heard a lot of reviews that Aruba is more of a touristy place offering wonderful restaurants and numerous things to do on the island. Also, it is a very small and safe island (one where you can rent a car and venture out yourself). Hope this helps.

Sorry you did not have a pass for Jamaica.

EVERY WHERE in the Caribbean is beautiful, fun, with great beaches, water sports and good weather. Research before you go to make sure you are avoiding hurricane season though.

It's a tie between Aruba and St. Maarten even though I've never been to those.

To those who said to avoid hurricanes, there is no hurricane season in December. It runs from June 1st and ends November 30. So doesn't matter where you go, but I think St. Maarten may be best. :)

Aruba is one of the island that doesn't get much rain. Plenty of beautiful beaches, good food food and nice people.

Have fun

Depends on what you like to do. I have been to all except Guadaloupe. I would say St Maaten and Aruba are the top 2. Both have alot to do and aresafe. Bonaire has some excellent diving if you want take the next step past snorkeling.

How lucky are you then? It must be hell having to make such a choice.
St. Maarten would be my choice. The Gastronomic Capital of the Caribbean, with over 300 restaurants. 37 beautiful beaches, 12 casinos, 5 movie theatres, loads of night clubs & bars giving a stunning nightlife and, on top of this, the island enjoys a completely duty free status. Great for shopping, therefore, if that's what you like.
How do they pack all this into an island that is only 37 square miles? 65% of people when asked say they visit for the beaches and that would be my choice too.
However, there is another reason I would choose St. Maarten & that is the experience of landing there. I've seen the videos, but would like to try the real thing.
Whatever you decide, have a great time.
