The Beach at The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba

"casino and a prime beachfront location, this modern hotel has everything you'd expect from a Ritz—a kids' club, watersports, beachside fitness classes, and the largest spa on the island, which gives travelers a taste of Aruba by using local ingredients like coconut and cactus"

"Much of that has to do with the location—on a pristine stretch of white sand called Palm Beach, where you’ll find the Caribbean’s most exceptional windsurfing"

"The hotel, which opened in November 2013, is set on Aruba’s palapa-dotted Palm Beach"

"For a more intimate experience, book a private dinner on the beach"

"Poolside cabanas are designed for two people, and the pricier ones on the beach can accommodate up to five guests"
