Aruba from Charleston, Nov 14–21: $3,807 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $619 per person, $256 below the typical fare on this route
- Adults-only Eagle Beach hotel rated 9 from 224 reviews, breakfast included
- Highs of 85–86°F, and free cancellation at all three hotels
The catch: Two stops and 49 hours out: you leave 6:00 AM Saturday and land 2:35 PM Sunday, losing a night; checked bags, about $160 for two, aren't included.
Worth it if you have the full week and the patience for a long trip down; skip it if you need a nonstop or every vacation day.
Worth it if you can live with a long trip down: $3,807 for two, all in, covers round-trip flights at $1,238 plus 7 nights at Aruba Boutique & Art Hotel - Adults Only at $2,290 and its $279 resort fee, taxes and fees included. You'd go Nov 14–21, 2026 on MX + B6, and it isn't nonstop: two stops and 49 hours on the way out. A checked bag (about $160 for two) and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
$619 per person round trip, or $1,238 for two, is $256 below the typical fare on this route, which is $875 per person. That's 29% under. Across 12 offers we saw fares between $619 and $684, so this one sits at the low end. November is a shoulder month here: short showers come more often but rarely last, and Aruba still has the driest climate in the Caribbean. The usual weather for the week is highs of 85–86°F and lows near 79°F, and the island sits outside the hurricane belt. Add an adults-only hotel on Eagle Beach rated 9, with breakfast and free cancellation, and the whole trip comes to $3,807 for two before you go. What you give up is time, because this fare takes two stops and 49 hours to get you there.
The kind of trip this is
A slow beach week for two adults: mornings on Eagle Beach, one snorkel day and one off-road day in Arikok National Park, sunsets on the water and quiet nights at an adults-only hotel. It suits couples or two friends who want sun, calm water and a pool more than a packed schedule. Palm Beach is close by when you want restaurants and casinos.
