I don't know about Aruba but is it near St. Maartens?
They said after the hurricane, some people were going through hotel rooms, armed with machetes, to rob the guests.
I would assume with the power out, the local cops were too occupied to deter this kind of crime and the locals saw it as an opportunity?
That's why I'm wary about going to some of these developing countries or places with severe inequality. Not just for safety reasons but it seems like they carve out these oases of first world comfort in the middle of what are really poor countries.
Then there are similar resorts in places like Tunisia, where recently, Islamic militants were killing Westerners who were guests in those places.
There's plenty of places for me to visit and revisit in the G8/G10 countries where you don't have to face stunning inequality, which has to be a powder keg for potential violence against well-heeled guests from affluent nations.
