Your Aruba home base

April 1–6, 2027
Main reunion dates, with individual air arranged separately unless otherwise announced.
RIU Palace Antillas
Adults-only, beachfront and 24-hour all-inclusive.
Relax + reconnect
Beach days, good food, nightlife, culture and plenty of room to choose your own pace.
Limabre hosting
Gerald plans to be on property to support the group and help keep logistics moving.
Shop smart. Don’t panic-buy.
Chicago–Aruba fares can swing sharply by airport, airline, fare class and direction. The goal is a fare and schedule you can live with—not winning a guessing game.
What looks reasonable?
Planning benchmark only—not a fare guarantee. Air pricing changes constantly.
Before you click “Buy”
Beach by day. Options after dark.
The current RIU information positions Antillas as an adults-only, beachfront, 24-hour all-inclusive resort on Palm Beach with dining, entertainment, casino/nightlife and Elite Club room options.
What makes the resort work for CVS ’87
Keep in mind
Resort programming, restaurant operations, exchange privileges and entertainment schedules can change. We will reconfirm the details that matter to the group closer to arrival rather than treating a 2026 schedule as a promise for April 2027.
Official RIU Resort PageAruba is more than the resort.
A few of the destination stories we’ll keep adding to this hub as the reunion gets closer.
Compact, but not one-note
Aruba sits roughly 15–18 miles north of Venezuela, making it easy to understand why a few free hours can reveal a very different side of the island.
Multilingual island
Dutch and Papiamento are official languages; English and Spanish are widely spoken. Start with Bon bini and Danki.
Paradise on tap
Aruba has no natural freshwater rivers or lakes. Seawater is desalinated and purified, and tap water is safe to drink island-wide.
Nationalities represented
That cultural mix shows up in Aruba’s food, languages, music and traditions.
Arikok National Park
Nearly one-fifth of Aruba’s land area is protected in Arikok, a very different landscape from Palm Beach.
Open-air street art
Murals added by local and international artists have turned San Nicolas into an evolving street-art destination.
What kind of Aruba traveler are you?
Pick the one that sounds most like your free-time style.
Useful now. Rechecked later.
We’ll keep operational items concise now and reverify anything that can change before final travel instructions are issued.
U.S. dollars work
The Aruban florin is the official currency, but U.S. dollars are widely accepted.
ED Card
Aruba currently requires an online ED Card, completed within the seven days before travel. We will reconfirm the exact process in March 2027.
Sustainability fee
Aruba currently collects a $20 sustainability fee from most air arrivals through the ED Card process. This will be rechecked before departure.
Check it early
Use your full legal name when booking air. CVS travelers are encouraged to avoid last-minute passport surprises and check validity well before April.
CVS ’87 Aruba FAQ
Your booking documents and supplier terms control if there is ever a conflict.
What is included in the resort stay?
Your booked package includes the room, all-inclusive meals and most beverages, resort activities, and the taxes/fees shown on your confirmation. Transfers are included only if they appear on your individual confirmation.
Are flights included?
No. Travelers may book their own airfare. Limabre is also evaluating group-air possibilities, but no group-air option is currently open for booking.
Can someone still join the reunion?
Space may still be available, subject to current inventory and pricing. Use the reunion booking link or contact Limabre to check current options.
What about travel protection?
Travel Protection Plus options are available through the supplier and are governed by the plan terms. If you have questions about what you selected, check your booking documents or contact Limabre.
How will we communicate in Aruba?
Limabre plans to use a private WhatsApp group closer to departure for practical group updates and quick on-site communication.
Where do I see my personal payment information?
Your private TravelJoy portal and invoice—not this public traveler hub—remain the source for your individual payment schedule, balance and booking documents.
Know a classmate who should be in Aruba?
