Aruba Dos and Don'ts

Wear lots of sunblock.....the sun is everblazing. Walk with lots of money if you love shopping...the clothes and electronics are off the hook with super great prices! The people are super cool. Try the iguana, I did not like it but you might.

If you want to experience the "other" (non-tourist) side of Aruba, read Daniel Putkowski's book, "An Island Away," before you go. It's a great insight to the side of the island tourists usually don't bother with. I've seen both sides, and the non-tourist side is much more interesting.

What can be said besides wonderful beaches, wonderful dining, wonderful shopping. If you're an early riser, don't be alarmed to find the winds are strong in the AM. Eagle Beach is wonderful for sunning, Baby Beach is exquisite for snorkeling. Locals and tourist feed the fish as Baby Beach so grab a mask and enjoy the show just beneath the surface!

this is an excellent place to tan and shop like crazy.. the beaches are really quite and beautyful ... and eth best part of these islnd i s that its totall duty free it has a huge mall with a lot of brands and its incredible cheap!!!!! .......... also its great to hear the language of this islanders cuzz it is a mix of english espanish french holland portuguese and others called papiamento...... the local money its called florin . ....... its rounded by resorts ........ the taxi transportation its ngiven by the local people anyone can be a taxi driver the got then govermenmt permission i got a for a taxi a volkswagen passat hahaha awesome ....

If you come to Aruba on a cruise, the local bus terminal is right across the street from the boat terminal. Take the hotel zone bus for 2 dollars all the way to the Marriott and walk and swim all the way back to the ship. Its an amazing stretch of beach!
