Tagged: aruba, caribbean, palm beach, travel
If you’ve been to, read about, seen videos or heard stories about the beaches of the Caribbean, then you’ll understand why this video of Aruba’s Palm Beach is so shocking.

Once you find yourself on its beaches, it’s hard to pull yourself away. Luckily for us, the resort that we stayed at, the Tamarijn Aruba, was an all-inclusive built specifically for people who loved the beach and didn’t want to venture...
