Aruba requires a negative PCR test within 72 hours of travel or you have to pay for a PCR test when you arrive and isolate until you get the results.

Don't forget that some parts of Mexico are open. I'm getting on a plane early in the morning to spent the weekend in Los Cabos.

We are supposed to fly out in two weeks for a week in Cabo. I was able to book some tours but I'm wondering how the resorts/hotels were. Currently, mine still has several of the restaurants temporarily closed.

Went to Cancun last week. No issues and return was a breeze.

Did you stay at a resort? If so, what was it like? What was missing if anything?

I stayed at the JW Marriott by San Jose. Hotels there are currently limited to 30% occupancy, so that social distancing can be easily maintained, but I'd estimate that my hotel was probably only 10% full.
They definitely took sanitation very seriously. Everyone entering the hotel has a temperature check. Everyone working there wears a mask at all times, and most of them also wear face guards. There are hand sanitizers all over, and by every elevator. One woman I talked to at the pool was a lawyer from Los Angeles, and she wasn't leaving the resort on this trip, because "I can't afford to get sick."
I definitely left the resort. I drove out to Cabo Pulmo (about 2 hours) to go snorkeling on the coral reef, but all the tours are still closed, and I couldn't even rent a mask and fins to go out from the shore. But there were still lots of nice views on the drive.
Really enjoyed the dinner I ate at Panazia in San Jose. It's a Mexican-Asian fusion seafood restaurant. There's been one in San Lucas for a dozen or so years, and the owner just opened a second one in San Jose.
But I would say that a majority of the restaurants and shops are still closed -- there's just not very many tourists there right now.

Looks like Croatia for one. This guy puts out some pretty good content. He's a little boring listening to sometimes, but he has some good insights on recent travel in this video. He just flew to Belgrade, but apparently they're moving towards a restrictive shut down, so he flew over to Croatia. I've been once and would say hell yeah if I could get there.

Beograd is really cool. Worth visiting if they’re not locked down.
Posted on 7/13/20 at 11:52 am to Nole Man
I actually have a Labor Day vacation scheduled for Croatia. Looks like they’re requiring a negative PCR test within 48 hours before arriving.
Curious to see if this gets adjusted at all over the next month. Just glad that my trip is back on the table somewhat.

Croatia is EU so how'd he get in?
Did he "quarantine" in a 3rd country that US citizens are allowed to go that is on the EU list and then head over?
That seems to be the only way around the EU rules at the moment.
US > X country for two weeks > EU country
If I didn't have a toddler I'd consider doing this since everything is totally remote work. No one knows where I am anyways.

The EU is allowing the individual countries to make their own decisions in regards to their borders, but if they do something the EU doesn’t like they can impose travel sanctions on that country.
Before yesterday, you actually didn’t even have to present a negative COVID test to get into Croatia.

If I recall in the video, he flew to Belgrade through London. At that point, travel between countries (i.e. going from Serbia to Croatia) is possible. He is traveling on a US passport. So maybe the restrictions are US to wherever? Once you're already there, it's not as restrictive?

IMPORTANT UPDATE: I do not recommend traveling to Serbia at this time. It's nothing against Serbia. I wanted to rent a car and explore more of the country, as there's a lot more to see. But a state of emergency was declared while I was there, around the same time this video was filmed, due to a rise in coronavirus cases. As you can see in the video as well as the other two I filmed there, things were still quite normal during the week I was in Belgrade. But because of the state of emergency I decided it was best to fly out of Serbia in case things got worse.
I booked a flight to Croatia for two days later, on July 8th. On July 7th I learned that the president of Serbia was ordering a full lockdown starting on July 10th. As a result there were major protests in the city on the evening of July 7th. I didn't know about them until 2am when I was still up and I heard shouting on the street below my apartment. I looked out the window and saw groups of people that were clearly involved in some sort of confrontation. At one point I saw a cloud of smoke that might have been teargas. I didn't see any property damage or violence at the time, but the next day I read in the news about what had happened and there had been some serious damage throughout the city as a result of the protests.
So with the country as unstable as it is right now, it's probably best to avoid traveling in Serbia until things are more stable with both the rising cases of the virus as well as the political situation. This is a difficult time to be traveling and it's not for everyone. Think hard about making any travel plans and be prepared for possible disruptions to your trip. I'm now in Croatia where there are less cases of the virus and things are quite normal and peaceful. However even here things could change quickly, so I will be watching the news and be prepared to make any changes to my plans if necessary.

Ya the passport isn't the problem itself.
It's "have you been to the US the last two weeks" or whatever time frame they have.
And ya, once you're in the EU you're golden.
