Picture-Perfect Paradise Without the Crowds! Eagle Beach is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. If you're looking for the quintessential Caribbean paradise, this is it. The sand is the first thing you'll notice—it's pure, powdery white and feels cool and soft under your feet. The water is simply breathtaking. It's a stunning shade of calm, turquoise blue and is so crystal-clear that you can see your toes perfectly, even when you're waist-deep. It was absolutely perfect for swimming and just floating around for hours. What truly sets Eagle Beach apart is the wonderful sense of space. We had visited Palm Beach by the high-rise hotels and found it to be beautiful but very busy and crowded. Eagle Beach was a world away. You can always find a peaceful spot for yourself. You never feel like you're sitting or swimming on top of other people. It's the perfect place to truly relax, listen to the gentle waves, and soak in the serene atmosphere. We will be back!

Eagle Beach is absolutely stunning! The soft white sand and turquoise water are picture-perfect — it truly looks like something out of a postcard.

It’s one of the best beaches in the caribbean I have visited many in the caribbean and this it’s in the top. Natural sand all across the beach and turquoise cristal clear water. You can have one of the best views of the sunsets in the beach. Inside the water you can see the bottom even in the deep and it’s all sand without rocks. The beach has plenty of area to bring your chairs and umbrella and enjoy if you don’t have they have available for rent in the area.

Found the most perfect pocket of quiet at Eagle Beach through a walkway across the street from Screaming Eagle. The sand was white and fine, the water was calm. I took a swim to and saw that the areas north and south of where we were seemed busier. Regardless, still a very peaceful and less touristy beach. It was perfect!

Such a lovely beach. It can get crowded at certain parts due to the popularity. I did manage to find a great spot where it is less crowded in the early morning a few days ago and then came to a very populated area yesterday. Great to just be here to relax and swim. As for snorkeling, there was not a lot to sed.

A nice beach, although not all that it's hyped up to be. I enjoyed Palm Beach more, but the same water and sand. The water felt amazing and possibly slightly cooler than other beaches, although it is bath water and a beautiful temperature. Lots of parking if needed and close to the grocery store rather than eating out all the time.

Large, beautiful beach. Plenty of space and it does not feel crowded. Great place to watch the sunset.

Amazing spot, especially at sunset! There’s an Italian restaurant (we didn’t try it), but the views of Palm and Eagle Beach from top are just stunning. Highly recommended!

This place has a good view. $5 a person entrance fee. Quite a lots of step and very narrow stairway. It definitely has strong wind blowing when you are up high, however the structure felt pretty stable.

Beautiful spot to check out. Great place for sunset. Easy and smooth drive getting up. If you wanna go to the top of the lighthouse, get there early, it closes at 4-5pm.

This makes for a nice side trip to the northern part of the island. The lighthouse area offers some excellent views of the north end of Aruba as well as views looking back at the hotels near the Nord area. There are snacks available from a food truck and meals offered at a nice looking restaurant (which also has restrooms you can use for $1 per person).

Great little side stop. Very fun. There’s a great view, a cool bus there with all sorts of gifts and refreshments and snacks. Freshly remodeled Italian restaurant that you must try especially at sunset. I wasn’t able to when I visited because it was getting remodeled, but it’s open now if you’re in Aruba, you must stop there.

A beautiful place to visit. This is located at the northern tip of the island. A bus can be taken the majority of the way there but you will still have a 20 minute walk. Cost is $5 a person to enter. Beautiful view and worth the cost.

Nice spot to see the difference in the coast and the rougher side of the east coast and the calm west coast! It costs $5 to go up in the lighthouse so we didn’t. There is a restaurant on site. No public bathroom except for when the restaurant is open. There is a vendor there selling drinks, snacks and mementos.

Baby Beach is absolutely beautiful! The water is crystal clear, calm, and perfect for swimming or snorkeling, ideal for families or anyone looking to relax. The surrounding area looks like it’s still developing, so the sights around aren’t the most scenic, but the beach itself is stunning. There isn’t much shade, so bring an umbrella, or you can rent a tent with two chairs for about $80. If you’re looking for picture-perfect water, this is your spot!

Beautiful beach! Water was calm. Very family friendly. Make sure to wear water shoes as there are a lot of rocks.

Very cozy, intimate beach. Shallow, calm water. Definitely place to spend at least 4 hrs if you busy checking multiple beaches.

The beach has a beautiful clear water not too deep at all on almost all the areas very suitable for kids, has a convenient restaurant in both ends of the beach. It’s up to almost all the reviews that I checked before visiting and I think it’s even prettier in person than in the pictures. In my opinion it is a good experience to visit if you have the time and a car to get there you should definitely check it out. They are a lot of wild life around, you can spot small fish in the water, seagulls flying around and lizards in the tree area. Definitely the kids love it

I'm glad we took the drive to Baby Beach. Very beautiful Beach with clear water. Bathrooms like most places in Aruba is not free, and bring cash if you want a tent ($80)

This beach is great for kids you can walk close to 500 feet and the water is up to your shoulders at most, parking is hard to find as they built a resort very close to the beach. You need a lot of Sunscreen as sun is right above you and you will be burnt very quickly. Snorkeling is available here and best time is early in the morning to see baby turtles. There are 2 food places close by Rum Reef and Big Mama both are decent places and you can get good drinks and food here, bring your own chairs or mat as the rent for chairs is $10 per chair and beach gets crowded very fast, there are no waves but rip current can get bad really fast and they have signs posted. Overall a great beach for family with small children

Favorite Beach In Aruba, breathtaking view. You can rent chairs Palapas or clam shell "tent" the guy at Big Mama's restaurant Coffee was super nice and helpful. Good food and drinks beachside! It's Aruba so amazing!

Beach was really nice, some rocks that are easily avoidable if you glance down. Overall a busy beach but not impossible to get a spot even if you come in the early afternoon. Would recommend driving past the beach hut restaurant and going down like you're heading to the lighthouse then taking a left onto the sand road. Then coming back towards the beach you'll almost always find better parking and parking that you can basically unload your car straight onto the beach.

Still my favorite beach on the island. My 4th time here and I keep going back. Who needs shade? The wind is so nice, you’re always cool. The waves are nice and large. Don’t go here if you don’t like waves. I’d take this beach over Eagle every time.

Turquoise water beautiful sunsets it’s a really enjoyable beach for family and friends, you can a have a palapa if you get early or you can rent an umbrella and beds there price may vary depending on days and how busy also different people has those available, look for best price!

If you need to find beach and be far from clouds of Palm Beach, go there. Only 1 mile away. You will experience some waves but water is beautiful.

Stunning beach (clean and soft sand!) with good snorkeling (we saw lots of fish and a sea turtle). Also a bonus of cool lizards! If you catch the ice cream truck go for it! He has good prices and yummy ice cream!

Arashi beach is not that big, it has free parking lot, and you can park at the side of the road also. There are palapas that are free, but they are mostly taken. Even if you take palapas there are rude people that will just sit with you without asking if they can join, and take most of the palapas. There are also few palms that can give you some small shade and there are maybe 2 bushes as well, but for me bushes are unsanitary because i saw what some people do in the bushes (like blowing their noses here, yuck). You can find wasps in some bushes and animal droppings. You can rent umbrellas but i din’t ask about the price, i think is 35+ dollars like everywhere else, for only umbrella. Sunbed is usually 10$. Water is nice color if it is sunny, but bad if it is cloudy. It gets deep quickly and most of the beach is full of rocks. But it is better on the right side of the beach because there is a small strip where water is shallow. But current is strong and there can be strong waves. Winds are super strong, like everywhere else, and they are making it impossible to enjoy being in the beach or even in water- getting your hair wet is hard task because you will be cold. Also internet here is the worst. We paid e-sim card and carried it with ourselves but no internet here. Even wifi from the beach bar is bad. Baby beach was my favorite beach on island, and Eagle beach is better choice than Arashi, but Arashi is my 3rd choice.

Beautiful beach but get there early if you want shade.

I had a great experience at the Butterfly Farm yesterday! It was such a cute little spot. They had a little cafe to grab a coffee/smoothie/drink and a gift shop. The garden was beautiful- it was amazing seeing all of the butterflies flying around!! Josh did an awesome job as our tour guide- he really knows his stuff! Very informative and loved his energy. Thanks for a great experience!

Don't hesitate to try this place! Such a fun and amazing experience. Its so beautiful inside, it is small but still worth the visit. The tour guide is very educational about the butterfly's life cycle. The gift shop is cute as well. Theres a nice patio before you enter where you can hang out and watch the birds play in the bird bath if you'd like before or after the butterfly experience. Your ticket includes revisits and we definitely intend to come back during our stay here in Aruba.

My wife and I came on Wednesday at 1:00pm. It was a nice little butterfly farm. We enjoyed walking around and taking pictures of all the different butterflies. There are different sitting areas around the farm. So you can sit and enjoy watching the butterflies fly around you. The entrance fee was 19 dollars per adult. You can buy yourself a smoothie before going in because it gets hot inside. There is also a cute souvenir store at the entrance.

Stopped here on morning while on my trip to Aruba; it's stunning. Something so "zen" and absolutely beautiful here, the colors, feeling of peace. Tour guide (which wasn't very long 15-30min) was a young guy, super knowledgeable, enthusiastic and entertaining!bought a banana/rum shake of some kind on my way, it was great👌. Highly recommend! Worth the stop!

Great for the kids! Guide was very knowledgeable and the family and I learned a lot from the many species they had. Tickets when bought allows you to return all year of you plan to go multiple times. Which I know you won't but nice to know!

My husband and I visited this wonderful little butterfly farm and spent an hour or two. Very much worth the visit and price of admission. We were given a mini tour with a very informative guide. A lovely gift shop is on site with beautiful handmade butterfly inspired jewelry. Also you pay once and can return as many times as you like while on vacation.

I’ve been to many other butterfly exhibits (Calloway Gardens, Butchart Gardens, Brookside Gardens) but this was even better. So many butterflies in a beautiful setting with lots of flowers and pond. The pond has fish and a little waterfall. I even went back a second day. It is hot so go early to be a little cooler. People are very nice too.

amazing place! so cool and their are colorful fish that swim in the pools! rocks are slippery so definitely be careful and go with a local or a guide

Another tourist trap in the so-called "National Park". The pool itself is nice, but it is crowded with tourists who come with tourist agencies. Every half hour, there is a couple of cars arriving to the parking lot, each with 8 to 10 people, so there is constantly at least about 30 people in the pool. The area is accessible only by a 4WD, so rent a Jeep and make sure you know how to operate it. 4L is useful for breaking when going in the steep downhill sections.

A once in lifetime experience..meaning if you rent a jeep and drive there you will never go again. It was very cool but the unpaved roads and made it something to go to once and done. It was good to see once.

Part of the national park, so buy the ticket! Rocks are very slippery, water shoes are a must. People were going snorkeling within the pool formed naturally by rocks blocking the wave but you see the waves crashing on the big rocks! Cool way to cool down in the heat!

Great place for snorkeling, def a trek to get to. Please take water shoes as the rocks are slippery. Would suggest going with a tour guide as there are plenty other things to see around the area. There are a bunch of steps that lead to the pool location heads up for anyone with difficulties walking or climbing.

I visited the Conchi Natural Pool which was part of the national park on a visit to Aruba in June 2025. Didn't know what to expect but the landscape was very different from the Town area. A rocky landscape with native flora and fauna. The highlight for many persons was the natural pool where you could see many persons jumping into the natural pool. There are about 95 steps. Some steps steeper than others, just hold on to the handrail.

Definitely take a guided tour to visit this location or make sure you are in a jeep of some kind. Rough off-road ride on a path to get there but worth the trip!

A picturesque day chilling with flamingos, clouds and sun. Don't forget you can enjoy snorkeling, snuba, scuba or just floating in the ocean. And when you get hungry there's an all you can eat buffet and grill station. Also stay hydrated with unlimited drinks for everyone age.

Very fun day at De Palm Island. Upgraded to premium seating so we could sit in the area with the Flamingos. It was a great experience. You can't feed or them. However they do get up close and personal.

We spent the entire day at De Palm Island. We must've picked a very great day because there wasn't a lot of people. They had many activities to do from snorkeling, laying on the beach, viewing the pelicans, and going on the banana boat. The food was good it's all you can eat so you can't complain. I enjoyed all the activities. I will say the only disappointment was the slide were closed due to construction, which wasn't told to us before hand. I was looking forward to sliding down the slide. Overall though it was a pleasant place to visit and definitely recommend for a adventure.

Spent the day on De Palm Island Aruba in our own private villa, & it was perfect from start to finish. Flamingos & mimosas to kick things off, a private ocean entrance for swimming & snorkeling, a delicious buffet lunch (salad bar, curry chicken, and fresh fish!), & a peaceful hammock nap to top it all off. Huge thanks to Ashwan & team for taking such great care of us! 🌴✨

The more people you take with you the more fun you'll have. Don't go for the food bc we all know all inclusive food is never great. However the alcohol is pretty decent.

Loved it! Good variety of all you can eat food and drinks (including alcohol). Excellent swimming, snorkeling, and other activities. Be sure to check out the website. The entertainment for the price is the best we found in Aruba.

We had a great day at Palm Island and had a great time. The food was good, except I wish more of the activities were included in the price. However, we did pay for the SeaTreK, which was an incredible experience.

What a fantastic experience! Our guides were friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. We saw so many beautiful fish and the reef was incredible. First time snorkeling for my two kiddos and myself and we can't wait to do it again soon. Thank you!!!

We had already spent several days on the island and had done some snorkeling on our own. We had a reservation with Aruba Bob but weren’t sure if it would add anything to what we had already seen. We couldn’t have been more wrong - we did the Private Snorkeling Tour and it was an incredible experience. They took us to a beautiful reef, and using the scooters completely changed the snorkeling experience. Everyone on the staff is amazing - they’re incredibly patient, show you incredible things, and explain everything. Special mention to Martina, who was our private guide - it was a pleasure to do the tour with her.

If you’re in Aruba, this is a must! Our guide was awesome and a native of the island. It was a very personal experience with the tour being just my husband and myself and the guide. If you’re wanting a memorable experience without the crowd of a tour group, this is the place. We had a great time and highly recommend Aruba Bob!

Fun! Must do! You will not experience snorkeling like this anywhere else! 🐠 November 2025 Fantastic second visit! I loved the slow, relaxed pace. The tour guides were amazing, expertly leading us through the beautiful reefs and the incredible shipwreck off Mangel Haltob. We'll definitely recommend Aruba Bob to all our friends!

What a great experience we had. Mark from Netherlands calmed me down and helped me with my fear with water. I’m amazed of all the beautiful things Mark showed us under water, pictures are phenomenal. I will always appreciate Mark for treating us with care and protection. He made sure we were safe at all times. We love him and we are going to referred him to our family who is traveling soon to aruba. Thank you Mark I hope you enjoyed the seafood festival you deserve it bud ❣️

Coco was great! He took us on the most amazing dives and sent us great pictures. I couldnt have asked for a better guide for my first ocean dives. Carolina worked with us to make sure we were booked and we got to get in 3 dive days during our vacation.

Our instructor coco was amazing the shop was very helpful informative, and just knew how to enjoy themselves and keep things fun while being professional and keeping us all safe. These guys will probably be my go-to when diving in Aruba.

The church is in a gorgeous setting with the cacti as its background. You may go in and light a candle or sit on a bench for peaceful meditation. The inside of the church is absolutely stunning. A labyrinth is also available to walk quietly and peacefully through.

Beautiful chapel on top of the hill. There’s a small vendor selling fresh coconut water—definitely worth trying. The area is surrounded by cactus plants, which make for great photos.

The church is in a secluded location at the top of hill and is in beautiful setting. There is also peace labyrinth here. However, I would recommend visiting here only when you are tired of everything in the island

Absolutely a beautiful chapel that originated in the 1750s and was remodeled in 1950s. Outdoor seating for mass services, must be special during Christmas. Added to your list, worth seeing.

Such a lovey tiny chapel that we visited to lit a candle. The candle can be brought at the grocery. I find it interesting that this chapel was completed in 1952 and stands in the same location as the original chapel, which was built by Domingo Silvestre, the Venezuelan missionary from Santa Ana de Coro, Venezuela, in 1750.

It's a gorgeous little church. As you leave, the side of the road has the Lord's Prayer on traffic signs.

Really cool small chapel with lots of hiking places to go to!

It was our first time in Aruba, celebrating both our birthdays and our anniversary — and the Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino did not disappoint! The hotel is spotless and beautifully maintained, with a welcoming tropical atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The casino may be small, but it’s lively and fun — complete with a great bar and live music that really sets the vacation mood. There’s even a Starbucks right in the lobby, which made mornings so convenient. The location couldn’t be better either — everything you need is within walking distance, from shops to great restaurants along Palm Beach. The breakfast at Mercat deserves a special mention — consistently fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented each morning with friendly, attentive service. It quickly became one of our favorite parts of the day! A few standouts truly made our stay exceptional: 🌸 Marisol from the Mandara Spa gave me an incredible beachside massage, going above and beyond — even massaging my feet while kneeling in the sand. It was one of the best spa experiences I’ve ever had. 🍸 Alix at the main lobby bar makes the best Espresso Martini on the island — whether you prefer it creamy or dark and sweet, she’ll make it perfectly every time. Note: The resort is currently undergoing some construction, which can be a bit loud near the pool area or in certain rooms. It didn’t ruin our experience, but I’d recommend checking with the hotel before booking if you’re sensitive to noise or want a quieter stay. All in all, an amazing experience from start to finish. Highly recommend this resort for anyone looking to relax, celebrate, and enjoy the very best of Aruba! 🌴☀️

It was our first time in Aruba and we had a great time. The staff, location, beach, pool and rooms were amazing. We would walk into the town along the beach and felt like we were in paradise. The food at the hotel was amazing and the portions are big enough for two people to split. The sushi and Ruth’s Chris were fantastic. We will definitely be back.

Great location, we had a huge corner room on the South tower with wrap around terrace and wow what a view. Room and hotel very clean. Some construction going on but did not interfere with any of our plans, so this hotel is probably going to be even better if that is even possible when all set and done. Food is pretty good especially at the lounge bar and Romo the bartender was awesome. Will most definitely return.

We had a wonderful time. The resort was beautiful and clean.Our room was not ready at check in (which was not a problem as we were enjoying the beach and cocktails ) and they gave us $175.00 credit . The new guest rooms were a great size with a big bathroom and a beautiful balcony . The staff could not have been better. John and Javier at the towel stand were so helpful and friendly . The fish tacos and happy hour cocktails were delish ! Everyone was amazing . There were no negatives . We will definitely be back and will only stay here .

First time in Aruba and this resort was more than we could ask for. The beach is the best location on the strip, the pool is a great all around time especially at happy hour, and the restaurants were superb. Everything about this resort was beautiful and boasted the culture. Lastly, every employee was great. We also stayed at the Ritz and I would stay here over there.

My wife and I stayed at the Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino from November 14–23. It was our first time in Aruba, and traveling with experienced friends made the trip absolutely fantastic. I can’t say enough good things about the island—and especially about the Marriott. Our room was amazing. I had booked a deluxe ocean-view room but had no idea we’d end up on the top floor with a direct ocean-facing view. Dumb luck, I think! The balcony was large with a spectacular view, the room had recently been renovated and was impeccable, and housekeeping was excellent—both morning and evening turndown service. The room itself was spacious, with a big TV (65”?), bottled water, a mini-fridge, coffee maker, with all the amenities we needed. The elevators were fast and efficient. I’d read some negative reviews complaining about firm/hard beds, but we did NOT have that issue—we found the beds perfect and slept very well. We also loved our early-morning relaxation time on the balcony. The resort facilities were outstanding. Even though a full renovation was in its final stages during our stay, noise and inconvenience were minimal. We spent most of our time at the adult pool, which was spectacular—quiet, pristine, and relaxing. We never had trouble getting loungers on any of our nine days. The pool staff were great; the attendants were attentive and the bartenders (Jonathan in particular) were fantastic. Entertainment was plentiful and excellent. One night, the resort celebrated a Marriott’s 30-year celebration with live music and an incredible fireworks display. Watching it from our balcony left us speechless—the visuals, duration, and how close the fireworks were to us was mind-blowing. Again, just dumb luck on our part! Serendipitously, we met managers Raymond and Raoul and ran into them many times during our stay. These guys are genuinely welcoming, down-to-earth, and have a great sense of humor. They were all over the property, yet most guests never realized the two managers were constantly circulating and checking on everything. On at least two occasions, even while deep in conversation with other guests or staff, they made a point to say hello, with a handshake, as I passed. A truly pleasant surprise. The Stellaris Casino was lively and busy every night. One of our friends hit a jackpot of over $18,000, and we did much better than expected as well. We had budgeted to lose a certain amount… but happily walked away “about even”! The restaurants and bars on property were excellent. We ate at Mercat several times and at Ruth’s Chris once—both were outstanding. Nearby off-property spots (Malmok for breakfast, especially) were also fantastic. In short, we honestly can’t think of a single significant negative about the resort during our stay. It was fabulous from start to finish!

Great resort. However, be mindful about resort fees. I choose to spend the extra money and get 2 rooms for my family of 4...instead of putting all of us in one room-which is completely doable. With that said, each day PER ROOM, they added a resort fee AND a tax fee. EACH room per day was $70 and also $8 tax. I spent a lot of money at this resort and the extra fees seems sneaky. The fees should apply per reservation--why penalize guests when they are already spending a lot more money getting 2 rooms?

My husband and I went for a visit while we were on our honeymoon. When we arrived, we were greeted quickly and received cups with treats for the animals and were told which ones we could feed. While the website mentioned a tour, we did not receive one and we weren’t sure how to find the tour; it didn’t look like anyone was on a tour when we were there, and it could have been because we visited on a Sunday, but no details were provided. The experience itself was lovely with the animals. The story itself explaining (on the website because there was no tour) was incredible to read. When we were leaving, the staff were not as friendly as we were hoping. They offered to call us a cab and were told we’d wait 15-20 minutes, but we unfortunately waited nearly an hour for a cab. Thankfully we were able to wait where there was shade! We had spoken to 3 separate people checking in for our cab and they confirmed that they had called. When we were offered by the woman inside to call us a cab, we asked if someone had spoken to her about calling one, and she had said no. It was super irritating considering the 3 people we had spoken to were at the front entrance on their phones texting. I hope to return someday with a better experience with the staff and the service. But again, the experience with the animals was super lovely. If you’re visiting consider pre-book a cab or rent a vehicle. We wish we did, we would have left in a better mood.

I am a zoo fanatic. I make it my top priority to try and visit a zoo whenever I explore or visit a new place. Even though this isn't the biggest or nicest zoo I have been too. I still enjoyed myself. I love that we can feed most all the animals (Don't Feed the monkeys lol). This was an experience I will never forget. Definitely , great for the kiddos to get to feed many different animals.

Came here to see animals. I did like the had a good variety of animals. But we wanted to feed the animals and couldn’t find anybody. Very disappointed because the animals acted like they wanted to be fed . The zoo is not super pretty but it definitely something to explore.

This was a great experience, our tour guide June was really awesome! He knew his stuff and explained the history of everything well. Would definitely recommend for everyone to try this out ! The animal sanctuary was so cool as well, I’ve never seen a camel in real life and it may have been the highlight of my day!

I like it. You get to feed the animals. And it’s a sanctuary so some of the animals you can see are hurt. It’s a small little zoo. Nothing big. Staff is very friendly. You can see a python, snake, horses, donkeys, peacocks, baby tiger, ducks, turtles, monkeys, camels, etc.

We came to this place as a meeting point for our ATV tour. The staff was really friendly. Have us some carrots too feed the animals as we waited. Got a chance to spend some time with a baby monkey as well.

It is so wonderful being able to feed and interact with so many animals. Our kids ages 5 to 14 had a great time. Love the mission of caring for rescued animals.

From start to finish, everything with JADS Diving Center was absolutely perfect. The reservation process via email was smooth and efficient, with quick and clear responses. On the day of the dive, everything ran exactly on time, and the entire team was exceptionally professional. The equipment was in great condition, the briefing was thorough, and the dive itself was an unforgettable experience. The staff made sure we felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of throughout. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Aruba and looking for a top-notch, punctual, and professional dive center!

I can 100% recommend Jads Dive Center and would surely go back to Jads if I make it back to Aruba one day. After a very bad experience on Dominica due to broken equipment and super unprofessional behavior of the local dive center (in case you visit Dominica and want to find out which dive center to avoid you will find a google review from me about what happened) and resulting in a hospital visit- I was a bit nervous about the idea on going diving again. However due to the fact that I really love diving I was determined to try myself again under water and how it would feel. I just wanted to make sure I get a super professional and safe guide as well as equipment in perfect condition. I can say that I found all that at Jads. Communication was smooth from the start and my concerns were taken seriously. Equipment was new and in absolute perfect condition. Rudolf my private instructor did an awesome job and made me feel super comfortable again. It was great fun on top of it! I went out 2 times and I would have gone much more if I wasn't to fly back soon after. Nothing to worry about! :)

I had a very disappointing experience with this dive center. I specifically chose them because they were supposed to operate at Baby Beach, which was perfect for me since I had a wedding at the same shore that afternoon. It was meant to be convenient — dive in the morning, then stay for the wedding. However, when I arrived on time (even early at 8:30 a.m.), no one informed me that we would not actually dive at Baby Beach. The location was changed without any notice, with the explanation that I couldn’t carry my own gear and tank — even though I had made that clear during the reservation, and was told someone would assist me and that I could gear up in the water. This could have been communicated in advance. They also asked me to be there at 9:00 a.m., but we didn’t get into the water until around 10:30 a.m. because we first had to pick up other participants. If I had known that, I could have used my time better. The communication throughout the process was unclear, and the interaction at the front desk felt unhelpful. I was required to pay in full before the dive, and when I decided not to continue, I was told that the payment was non-refundable and referred "Read the return policy" This experience left me very frustrated and disappointed. I would not choose this dive shop again, and I hope they improve their communication, respect for customers’ time, and overall professionalism.

Great company. Good diver master and great experience. Some hiccups in not having enough people sign up for the date I selected, but they were great to keep me updated and work to get enough people to go out on the boat. Highly recommend Jads diving.

Without a doubt the place to go. Super friendly and accommodating. Rudolph is a absolute joy to dive with. He makes you so comfortable in every step of the way. He could also do a lil stand-up comedy gig on the side. Lol. We will be back here time and time again. Thank you so much! Bob&Deana

I have just completed my AOW certification with Jads Dive Center. I have done 5 dives with them, including 2 wrecks (ship and two airplanes) and a night dive which has been incredible. I would recommend to anybody to try the experience of the night dive, absolutely amazing. The level of service has been top notch. I got quick responses to emails when I contacted them to get certified. Susan and Rudolph are very nice and super experienced divers. They will make you feel comfortable and give you lots of useful tips. Should you decide to get certified or do some dives in Aruba, Jads is surely the place that you should contact.

If you are looking for the best diving experience in Aruba, Jads is it. Susan is so responsive and accommodating to personalise your dive. The dive masters and boat captain are knowledgeable and fun! If you are looking for a private lesson, we would highly recommend Rudolf. He make your experience fun and he is an amazing teacher, which is so important for beginners like us.

Really fun place to gamble. Compared to a few other casinos on the island the dealers are a lot of fun here. After going to a few different casinos we ended up back here. Great experience both times!

The machines are a bit older but there are quite a few. Very clean inside, security is very helpful and nice, you can’t bring bags in but they let you check them at the desk. Table games open at 5pm and the cashier staff is also very nice. No photos allowed inside the casino. They do accept several currencies including US Dollar. Walking distance to the beach and some shops.

I recently visited this casino and was extremely disappointed. The entire place feels outdated and poorly maintained — from the decor to the gaming machines, everything looks like it hasn’t been updated in years. Even worse was the attitude of the staff. From the moment I walked in, I was met with indifference and unprofessionalism. The table dealers in particular, “Tony”, and others were rude and dismissive, making the experience uncomfortable rather than enjoyable. With so many better options available, I won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a fun or welcoming casino experience. The casino at the Ritz is definitely a better option for those who like to gamble.

Not impressed. Too many damm.penny slots. No bar that i could find. The casino looked bigger before the renovations. No wheel games, not enough room to move around. Better casinos on the island..Hyatt, Holiday Innn, LA Cabana.

Really enjoyed this casino! We had a lot of fun and the staff was very nice and accommodating. I will say the service was a bit slow for drinks, but otherwise it was a very fun place to be at. Will definitely come back next time we are in Aruba!

Small casino some table options, and slots. The casino has shopping and restaurants located near by within walking distance. Nice if you just want to relax and kill some time.

This is my third time coming from California and I love coming to this Casino to play roulette! I came on a Friday and Saturday and had the best time of my life ! They have the best coffee ☕️ ❤️❤️❤️ kept me up all those hours I was there Definitely will come next time I visit Aruba 🇦🇼! I had a great time !

This is an interesting natural rock formation that forms a bridge across a small cove located on the eastern coast of the island. There's no fee to visit, and a nice snack bar and gift shop, as well as restrooms, of which there are few on the island's east side. It cost $1 per person (cash only) to use the restrooms so come prepared] The island's east side is rocky, with dirt/sand roads and is sparsely populated. There's a much rougher surf on this side of the island with numerous spots where the surf smashes against the rocky shoreline offering excellent photo ops.

Worth stopping as there is no fee. It's a natural bridge that collapsed in 2005 with another smaller bridge next to it. The ocean waves craving into the rocks were spectacular. There is a small gift shop with a rest room that does cost $1 to use.

🌊 Review: Natural Bridge – Aruba The Natural Bridge was one of the most stunning and unforgettable stops during my trip to Aruba! The contrast of the rugged coast with the wild, crashing waves was mesmerizing — there’s a kind of raw beauty to it that pictures honestly can’t capture. The water was fierce and vibrant, and standing near the bridge made me feel completely in awe of nature’s power. If you’re visiting Aruba, this is absolutely a must-see! It’s a great spot for photos, reflection, and just soaking in the island’s unique landscape. I loved every bit of it — peaceful, powerful, and breathtaking.

Aruba is absolutely stunning and without a doubt a must see destination. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the island’s natural beauty, crystal clear turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, and vibrant landscapes everywhere you turn. We took full advantage of our time there by going on several tours that allowed us to explore all corners of the island. From rugged off-road adventures and serene snorkeling spots to cultural landmarks and hidden local gems, every experience added something unique to our trip. Aruba has this incredible blend of relaxation and adventure that makes you feel like you’re in paradise. There’s still so much we didn’t get to see or do, which is why we’re already planning our return. Once you visit, you’ll understand why they call it “One Happy Island.”

The Aruba Natural Bridge is a must-see landmark, even though the original large bridge collapsed in 2005. The site still offers stunning ocean views, rugged coastline scenery, and the smaller “Baby Natural Bridge,” which gives visitors a sense of the area’s unique beauty. It’s a quick stop but worth it for photos and to experience one of Aruba’s iconic natural wonders. Best combined with other nearby attractions on the island’s north coast.

The Natural Bridge in Aruba is a cool spot to check out. The drive there is pretty fun, with some nice places to stop for photos along the way. Once you get there, you’ll find restrooms, a small café, and a few souvenir shops. We spent about 15 minutes, which was enough unless you want to hang out at the café. Definitely worth a quick visit!

Beautiful scenery of the surrounding area around the natural bridge. The area is rather rocky so wear your flat shoes and bring some chilled water you'll need it. This is not a long stay destination but worth seeing

The scenery is beautiful. But it is not any better than the rest of the gorgeous coastline of the northeast Aruba outside of the "National Park", yet one has to pay an entry fee of $22/person (!). Compare it to the real National Parks in the US where one pays a similar amount for a car, regardless of how many people are in that car. On top of that, unless one rents a 4WD, they will charge you an arm and a leg to drive you to the Natural Pool, because they haven't built any decent road there. And the staff is very unfriendly, and there is nothing to see in the Visitor Center, and points of interest are not well marked, and... yes, they want you to hire a guide and pay more. A tourist trap.

Cute little park great to drive around with the car (you need a jeep if you want to go to the remove beach). Very challenging but very funny to drive if you like off road. Visit the caves …. The beaches on the ocean side (no swim allowed due to rip currents and potentially big waves).

Highly recommend. Pleasantly surprised at how much of the park we could enjoy with a small rental car (not 4x4). Some areas of park are restricted to 4x4s, but we drove main road from visitor center to Dos Playa, caves, and then out the south entrance.

What an amazing place! So well maintained, the staff is helpful. Take their recommendations wisely for what kind of vehicle you are using there. If visiting by regular car go slow over the drain divots! So much to see. If you want to go to the beach you will need a 4x4. There are many places to pull off for a view.

Věry beautiful place. The best idea Is to take a Jeep, because you Are not allowed to visit all places in this park with regular car. Do not forget to take a map in a visitor center. One adult ticker Is 22usd And you can pay with card.

Loved this park! So different from the developed part of Aruba. Staff was so friendly and nice too. We took a tour in an all terrain vehicle. You would be limited if driving in a regular car.

Spent a whole day exploring Arikok. Rent a capable off roader (I did a Suzuki Jimny) and go explore the untamed parts of Aruba. It's well worth the day away from the beach.
