The two lead characters would make the most dull couple imaginable. If they went on a first date, I am certain they would end it with a handshake. It's a decidedly unromantic romance movie. If you squint hard enough, you might be able to see one or two forced sparks fly, but I almost want to talk them out of it rather than cheer them on. I would especially want to know from Amber what she sees in Connor.
That said, the overarching plot and background scenery keep this movie watchable. I thought the child actor did a good job in her role, and her interactions with the leads were much better than is usual in this genre.

If you have something else better to do, just skip this. The acting is mediocre and no chemistry among the actors. Character development is horrible but the landscape scenaries are awesome.
My summary line is sort of an inside joke my wife and I have. We watch Hallmark movies and a predictable feature is near the end we always get the "Hallmark kiss". Just one. This non-Hallmark movie has three of them!
For a simple, low-budget romance movie this one is very nice and entertaining. The dialog could have been trite but it isn't, it is well-written and the main actors seem genuine, especially the 10-yr-old daughter.
Premise is, divorced 50-ish man has to travel to Aruba for a wind farm project, being the start of summer he wants to hire someone to accompany him and care for his small daughter. He interviews 19 ladies before selecting one that is in fact a 4th grade teacher, off for the summer.
The movie is shot on location in Aruba, the woman and the young daughter hit it off very well, the dad is reluctant, still not over the fact his wife of 10 years abandoned them. But romance movies have a way of working things out.
Good movie, we enjoyed it. At home streaming FreeTV on Amazon Prime.

Love.in Aruba was a cute movie and shows the beauty of the Island. The only drawback is that it is focused too much on the theme of the use of Wind Power Turbines which is a FAILED source of alternative energy and one of the Worst. The Wind Turbines are not Cost Effective. The Turbines cost more the than the amount of energy that they produce. They are broken down more often than they are working. They are UNSIGHTLY A lot of birds are killed by the blades. The movie should have been focused more on the relationship of the people and the sights on the Island instead of trying to sell this Failed Energy Source as Viable, to the Audience.
What a charming and entertaining movie. Good clean family friendly movie with a great message of love can overcome all boundaries. Granted the movie has its clichés, and pilot is very predictable, but . . . For all of that, you really get into the move. The acting was great considering the simple script that was given, and the actors had to perform fleshing out their characters with some earnest to keep the character becoming flat on the screen. The music is a little less to be desired assigning itself to just background music and swells to crescendos at the right time. Who said that a romantic movie has to be raunchy one?

- TriviaThe Quadrikiri cave and the neighboring caves used to have Indian drawings on the cave walls. In the 1950's (not sure which year) a zealous American photographer wanted to take a picture of these drawings, but thought the drawing were to vague. So he applied some cleaning fluid to expose the drawings more, but at the end it damaged the drawings. Better leave it to professionals to do it :-(
- GoofsAmber told Conner that she and Macey stopped by the wind turbines and then asked Conner to come along to see the gold mill ruins. After the gold mill ruins the car broke down. Conner made Amber dinner and she told him again that they drove by the wind turbines. He acted surprised.
