Planning a Trip to Aruba?

Question

I'm going to aruba in early april 07. anyone have any suggestions for activities/restaurants/nightlife?? I'm 24 and going with my best friend, so we have tons of energy, but not always tons of money!!

Answer 1

For fun and social nightlife try the Kuku Kunukoo party bus that bar hops couples and singles so you get a taste of the bar scene in Aruba. Then you'll know what spots are the best. Salt & Pepper and Carlos & Charlies have the loudest, hippest bar scenes. Cuba's Cookin also has nightly salsa parties and good mixed drinks. There is also a party boat by Tatoo cruises which I hear gets pretty wild. Activities for day include ATV rides, and horseback tours which can take you along the picturesque beach coast of Aruba but you'll also see the Arikok (national park and wildlife refuge). Definately snorkel, they have happy hour snorkels so you can get smashed and then swim! what a hilarious idea. You should visit http://www.aruba.com/msgbrd/list.php?f=7 message board for other nightlife info. Lots of couples and singles post the dates they will be travelling in aruba so they can meet up and have fun together.

There is plenty of night life. It has many very good beaches. Don't waste your time touring the island it is the ugliest of all the Carribean Island. I live on St Croix USVI. I have been to more than 1/2 of the islands or about 9. It takes the prize as being the ugliest of all. Barbados is number 2, but it is far above Aruba. Then all the rest are really beautiful. Maybe St Lucia is tied for one of the prettiest islands. It is also much less expensive than Aruba. My island is beautiful also. You are visiting the most expensive food and fuel wise of all the islands that I have visited. Strawberries were about $13 per pound. Gas was over $5 per gallon. Since the locals have to pay those prices, cabs are expensive and food is expensive. Of course you are female, so someone will be trying to purchase your drinks for you. If he is tall, handsome and dutch, look out. Another young lady disappeared down there.

Hi. I don't have a lot of suggestions for you, since I'm so much older than you. I'm not sure if my idea of fun would fit yours. I stayed at the Aruba Hotel (ex-Wyndham) and basically divided my time between lounging on the beach and lounging near the pool. In the evening, my husband and I would stroll to the restaurants nearby. The weather was divine. The people wonderful. One tip. Aruba has GREAT bread. Carry sandwiches and fruit, so you can cut down on the costs of eating. (I know that's a mom-tip, but well, can't help it). Enjoy!

The Tamarijn, the Divi, all staggering inns. they're by way of the main suitable beaches too. great, huge, powdery beaches. appealing (ice chilly) sea, slightly uneven at circumstances, granted, yet wow... divine. As I take a seat right here scripting this, I want i ought to spend a while soaking in those turquoise waves, to easily enable each and every of the concerns drift far flung from me.
