I really need a break & just want to run away somewhere for a week & sit on a beach, read, play in the ocean/sea, go for long walks, & enjoy nice dinners every night. We have been to Aruba in February & the weather was gorgeous....high 80's, low humidity.... every single day. And, nice & warm @ night too.

What's it like in Aruba in late June? Any other place you wld recommend?

I believe Aruba is the same year round with little change in temperature. We went in early april one year and it was a great trip!
Bermuda is beautiful in June. Different than Aruba. It is more lush and pretty.
We went to Grand Cayman once in June and it was very humid.

Bermuda. Good idea, gotg! Would not like the high humidity in GC.

Aruba in June is slightly more humid, but the breeze is usually steady. While Bermuda is a more beautiful island, you may get more for your money in Aruba. I've been to both and if you want to kick back and relax, I would suggest Aruba. The high rise hotel area has enough restaurants that you won't need a car. Maybe a taxi or two. Especially if you want to spend much of your time on the beach.

Enjoy.

I do think Bermuda is more expensive overall, but there may be good deals out there. We booked the Fairmont Southhampton for last June, in April of last year and we got the 500. dollar a night room for 129 per night. The economy stinks everywhere, so check out all the hotels, if they are not full, they may still be offering deals.
I liked the Fairmont because we brought our teens and it is a more family friendly hotel. The Reefs is a beautiful hotel and is more adults only. The Pompano Beach Club was running deals not too long ago. I think there is a good mix of couples and some families there.
The bus system in Bermuda is great and will take you everywhere for a decent price. Dinners were pricey but the food was excellent.

I also liked our trip to Aruba and also thought the food was good and it is more casual than Bermuda.Although, I don't think anything is too dressy anymore. Aruba will have more nightlife with the gambling. Bermuda is more quiet although we did go out at night a few times. There is some stuff to do.
I just think all around Bermuda is one of the prettiest islands I have been to.
