Is Aruba a tropical island

Answer 1

Yes, Aruba is a desert island in the sense of having an arid, desert climate. But at the same time, no it isn't in the sense of an uninhabited island. Aruba has been continuously inhabited for an estimated 4,500 years. So it doesn't qualify as an uninhabited island. Otherwise, Aruba's vegetation [from cacti to aloe vera to divi-divi trees] is typical of arid desert climates.
