Which do you recommend, St. Thomas or Aruba? I'm a single female, 30, travelling alone this summer. Want to relax on the beaches, water sports, good food, and some nightlife. Thanks!

Aruba is much safer for a single female.

Although I personally prefer St. Thomas due to prettier scenery and clearer water, I must agree that Aruba is a better choice for a woman traveling alone.

St. Thomas is safe enough when you're at your resort, on excursions, and so on, but finding good food and nightlife would require wandering around a bit after dark, and unfortunately STT isn't as safe as Aruba in that context.

Another vote for Aruba. And its cheaper to eat out too.

Another vote for Aruba. Very safe, beautiful beaches and great food.

I also would choose Aruba. Plenty of great restaurants and the public transportation is better. As said before also much safer and in my opinion better beaches.
