Tourist Guide

View of Oranjestad's harbor from the top deck of our ship.  Took this photo just before spending the day ashore.
The Royal Plaza Mall is the most traditional shopping area in Oranjestad. This very pink and ornate building houses an attractive collection of shops that offers a little bit of everything. It is conveniently located right across the cruise ship terminal right in the middle of Oranjestad, walking distance to the bus station, museums , galleries and shopping malls.
An Oranjestad sunset at its finest. Home to the third best beach in the world, Eagle Beach.
Downtown via drone
Although we didn't sign up for the Kukoo Kunuku party bus, there was one waiting when our cruise ship docked in Aruba.  The tour includes transportation to dinner at a local restaurant, 2 drinks, and 3 bar stops - and then dropped off later at the cruise pier; provided the ship is still there and hasn't already sailed to the next destination!  #Red

The property was beautiful and close to the beach. The downfall was the beach chair situation every morning. But the pools were beautiful and the beach was great.
