I was really surprised to hear that one of the offical languages in Aruba is Dutch. Not a lot of people talk about it, but I still find it interesting. It's a small island that doesn't get nearly enough attention.

"doesn't get nearly enough attention."???

Hello! Its one of the world's most visited and known tourists attractions!

Specially when it comes to wedding destinations.

I mean in terms of American visitors. A lot more American tourists seem to be attracted to other parts of the Caribbean like Jamaica, The Bahamas, or Barbados. I wonder if it has anything to do with the currency?
