We liked the proximity of the house-it was close to everything. It was clean and the people who owned the property were extremely friendly and helpful. They provided everything that we needed (beach chairs, snorkel gear, etc). Check in and check out was a breeze. The whole experience was awesome! There was truly nothing we did not like. The beach and tons of restaurants within walking distance from bar food to upscale steak houses. On the beach you could go on boat rides to snorkel, dinner cruises, and wave boarding to name a few. Downtown shopping was further down the road but a quick taxi ride or you could drive down ( about 5 min)
I don't know what's not to like about Aruba. It's just paradise and always an easy and stress free escape. It's safe, it's beautiful and you can plan an enjoyable time for any budget. The nightlife is always fun: Sand Bar, Gusto, And after hours at The Mill. The beaches are exquisite: Palm Beach is a great choice for a resort... but if you're on a budget, you can consider Eagle Beach, Baby Beach... you can actually find free parking and a free Umbrella, unlike Palm Beach where you must be prepared to pay and plan ahead to secure a shady spot on the beach. The restaurants are good, make sure you try barefoot and take a cab to Madame Janette's (make a reservation first). If on a budget, there are plenty of grocery stores within a short cab ride or bike ride. You can find amazing selections of cheeses and meats or fresh vegetables. Also the beer and wine selections are extensive and cheap (pack up a cooler with some ice, and head to the beach!). Aruba lives up to its name "One Happy Island".
It is south of the airport away from the big tourist hotels located on the north side of the airport. For that reason it is a much quieter area. It has several restaurants and fast food places, plus grocery stores where you can pick up water, snacks and fruit if you want to take something with you on your drives around the island. Swimming is good and access to the local Baby beach easy. The main road along the west coast goes right through. Good to know: A roads go north - south and B roads go east - west....sort of. Like 1A goes from the California Lighthouse along the coast to the south tip of the island and 1B goes in the opposite direction. The island was a coral reef way back in time and is now a brown rocky land mass. You'll see a lot of coconut palms along the beach and cacti everywhere else. The water supply is desalinated ocean water, which by the way is so salty that you float like a cork without any effort. Things to see would be the island from the top of one of the three "mountains" and the beach areas. We ate at the Flying Fishbone. Very good but also very expensive. The Z-rover a short walk from there was much more casual and reasonable but also very good. Both had fresh and delicious seafood and both had outdoor tables. Can't think of anything to avoid. Just rent a car and start exploring.
This hotel is in a suburbia area with a couple of grocery stores and restaurants in walking distance. It takes 40 min. walking to the nearest beach. You do need some form of transportation. The public bus system does not run often and during rush hour there is no space on the bus.
It’s an amazing Long Beach with clear blue water. It’s clean and has little palm tree huts to create shade for beach goers. The beach chairs are readily available and provided by the Tropicana staff or staff of other hotels in the area!
Oranjestad is such a cute, quaint town that doesn’t feel like a busy city at all. What we appreciated most about it was the relaxed, laid-back pace. Even servers at restaurants were never in a hurry to get us our bill - the vibe is very “go with the flow.” I also greatly appreciated the sense of safety and comfort that we had as we navigated the town. The people were very friendly and it was easy to navigate. I never felt unsafe. We even went to two movies at the local cinema at the Marketplace and at one point I think we might have been the only tourists in the theater. It felt easy and natural to be out and about with locals in their city. While we didn’t shop much, this town is a mecca for anything an avid shopper could possibly want. We enjoyed the restaurants, especially grabbing drinks and a bite at Iguana Joes or any of the great food places at the Renaissance Marketplace. Highly recommend The Dutch Pancake House for breakfast.
