Aruba is super easy and very Americanized.Especially around Palm and Eagle Beach. It doesn’t have seaweed like Cancun and the surrounding areas do and never has hurricanes.

July should probably be ok, but late summer I would strongly consider Costa Rica (west coast) and Mexico destinations since they are: 1) less likely to be affected by a tropical system coming out of the Atlantic, 2) Cancun, San Jose, Liberia, PV have bigger airports with more daily flights so you have to a better chance to get out in a hurry, 3) if stuck due to a storm they have better infrastructure to ride it out.

Aruba


Went once, don’t really need to go back. Some people love it.

Snorkeling the shipwreck and visiting the remote north side of the island were both cool.

The rest felt like Myrtle Beach to me. Too Americanized for me.
