• Answer:

  hey i'm from Aruba and I have a girlfriend so I can recommend you few things. Sunsets You can enjoy a beautiful sunset on the beach, Get some beer sit on the beach (Eagle or Palm Beach Highly recommended) and look at the sunset. You can also take a " Sunset cruise" which is basically a catamaran sail during sunset. All the catamarans have open alcohol bars, so you can have a good time. Beaches The whitest beach on Aruba is the Eagle Beach. It is also the longest and widest beach on the island. It's almost never crowded so you can chill there too. Take a swim in the morning or afternoon and enjoy a walk on the beach at night. Baby Beach is a really popular beach on the island. It is really shallow but not for " miles " when you get there just about 300 meters from shore you'll see rocks, Behind those rocks it's about 30 meters deep and there is a lot of current so just stay close to shore. (about 10-15 meters). Offroading Rent a Jeep, go on the backside of the Island. You can see the caves over there. There are 3 caves; The Gaudiriki Cave, The Fontein Cave and " The tunnel of love". Don't let the name fool you, it's scary down there but it's worth the experience, 100% safe nothing is going to kill you, but its scary XD. You can also see some " boca's" (Papiamento translation for " Mouth " ) which are opening between the rock formation to making a beach. But YOUR NOT ALLOWED TO SWIM IN THESE OCEAN'S. There are a lot of currents and the chance that you will drown is HIGH. There is something called the Natural Pool, where it safe to swim, Bring snorkel equipment! Casino's It's just a waste of money don't go there. Restaurants Yes there are some restaurants where you can dine barefoot. The flying fishbone is one and there is another one at the Radisson I believe. If you want to be romantic you need to go to the Lighthouse restaurant. The lighthouse is on a hill, and the restaurant is just next to it. If you ask for outdoor dining you can see the island with the lights and stuff. Shopping I don't see why you would want to shop here, you can get everything in the US cheaper. Except for Camera's maybe. For electronics, try Boolchand's or Sam's or Baba's. Boolchands has a high reputation, Sam's (Ex-manager of Boolchand's opened up his own store) And if you ask for discount he WILL give you and it is cheaper and you'll find everything in there. Nightlive Aruba doesn't have much nightlive. Only nightclubs, which isnt really romantic. You can try Mr. Jazz if you like dancing salsa or merengue. Mr Jazz is also a restaurant. There is also a movie theathre close to Riu (walkable) at Paseo Herencia. But why come to Aruba to watch movies? If you want to drink, i'd recommend Smokey Joe's (Closer to Riu then paseo) Helicopter tour You can take a Heli ride, its about 100$ p.p for a 40-45 minute ride. They also give you an option to "Fly and Dive" the heli will drop you off at a restaurant Close to the lighthouse, it also has a beautiful view. That costs a lot though. Bonus; Palm Island That's the name the other answerer couldn't remember, it's a real chill spot. You pay something like 80$ p.p. And you stay from 9 to 6. All you can eat/drink/snorkel. Suggestions: Rent a jeep. Dont rent a car if you want to go offroading. Don't take taxi's (too expensive). If you can cook your own food, recommended if you dont want to give out around 70-80 $ each time you eat. Don't stay at Riu, it's an all inclusive hotel, your just wasting money if your not gonna stay there to eat and stuff. Holiday Inn is a cheap hotel but it's really nice. And it's on the Same strip from Riu, around 6 hotels away. Walkable in 5 minutes. It's has everything Riu has that you need. It has a pool it;s on the same beach, and a room for you. Aruba is really expensive; Come with a lot of money. Always use sunscreen! if you want a tan, Dont use oils, just tan. Using oils will make your skin burn. anything else? Email me [email protected]
