Aruba VS. St. Thomas for HM

I was wondering which one do you think is a better HM destination....Aruba or St. Thomas. Keep in mind our wedding is in July. We can't decide between the 2 islands and I would love feedback from you girls.
We were thinking of the Ritz Carlton in St. Thomas or the Hyatt in Aruba which i have heard great things about.
All opinions are welcomed!!!

I have never been to either but from family that has, Aruba is suppose to be something you should not miss! FH & I are looking for a cruise that has Aruba in it!

Aruba has more romantic spots...my grandmother is from there and is trying to convince us to go for our hm...beautifully scenic

I am biased because I went to Aruba and stayed at the Hyatt for my HM. I love it there and can not wait to go back next year.

I've been to both places and they are both great! Personally I would pick Aruba although it is a little more expensive than St. Thomas. But think of it this way, it hardly ever rains in Aruba! Good luck deciding!

I WOULD DEFINETLY SAY ARUBA. MY FRIENDS HAVE A TIME SHARE THERE AND THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. THE WEATHER IS ALWAYS PERFECT AND THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO. SHE ALSO SAID THAT THERE ARE MORE INTAMITE PRIVATE SPOTS THAT YOU CAN GO TO AND SPEND ALONE TIME....I SAY GO WITH ARUBA

I was torn between those 2 also. I went with Aruba because of the fact there is more of a chance of rain in St Thomas from June-Sept.

I would def. pick Aruba. I have been two both islands (although I am biased bc I stayed for 1 week on Aruba vs. 1 day in St. Thomas). Both are beautiful but, Aruba is outside the hurricane belt so there is no chance for that and it hardly ever rains!! Also, it is windy on the island so if you have a really hot day it won't feel that hot. There is also soo much to do there or you can do nothing. My FH and I went there this past april and I can not say enough good things about Aruba.

Feel free to FM if you have any other questions!

Another Biased Aruba! THe weather is gorgeous, the island is awesome and the people are sooo nice! Soo much to do if you want too, or you don't have to do anything. CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!!
