Hi, Leahrae.
Thanks for this great article on Palm Beach Aruba. My imagination was running wild as I read through the different activities, and bars and restaurants that they have to offer. And you weren’t kidding about those sugar-white beaches, I was glued to the video the entire time.
It looks like such a paradise
You are welcome Stevie! I believe you would find it to be paradise 🙂 Thanks for visiting my Palm Beach Aruba guide.
Hi, so excited to be planning our next trip!! I’m just looking into flights but would love your advice on hotels before I book. I’m a single parent so need somewhere family-friendly. Can you recommend anywhere? Also, my kids are really into snorkeling and I see that there is snorkeling here but how good is it do you know and is it safe for kids? Thanks! Emma
Yes, the snorkeling is safe for kids here. And I would really recommend the Aruba Marriott Resort, simple because they are going to have a lot of things there for kids with great swimming pools and all. It’s also right on the beach, so a great choice.
Wow what a timely comment, summer is here and you have actually help on how to plan our vacation. I love how you have provided everything from weather and when to go, to where to eat drink and stay! I can definitely see myself on Palm Beach with a tropical drink in hand. and the Bucati & Tara Boutique Beach Resort looks like my kind of place. Can’t wait to head to Aruba!
You and me both Eunice! I love Aruba and the Bucati & Tara Boutique Beach Resort is the perfect place to stay. Thanks for visiting my Palm Beach Aruba guide and taking the time to leave me comments.
This looks like a wonderful place to take a vacation so many beautiful sites to see and so many things to do ive always wanted to take a vacation like this on an island this has given me lots of important information on visiting Aruba since it lies outside the hurricane belt that makes it an even better place to visit without having to worry about a threat of a storm impacting while your there hurricanes are not pleasant experiences by any means i hope to maybe some day visit Aruba thanks for providing me such helpful information keep up the good work-Jonathon
You are very welcome Jonathon. Thanks for visiting beach travel destinaitons.
Hi
Another excellent review of a great sounding holiday destination, where you make it sound such an idealistic place to visit. The beaches may indeed be golden and the skies blue but what makes a holiday are the company you have and the breathtaking views you experience. The hotels seem to be of a good standard and therefore I will have no hesitation in booking this holiday.
If you are planning a decent stay, how long do you think is enough to experience all the sights and experiences?
Thanks
Antonio
Hi Antonio. Personally I think that a good two weeks is a good amount of time to relax, enjoy and see some sights. You figure you are going to have 2 travel days – getting there and getting home. That gives you a good 12 days to explore and enjoy 🙂
I’ve searching around for beautiful islands like Aruba in preparation for a vacation next year. The beaches you have shown are breathtaking. The fact that the island caters for young families makes this a front runner as a choice of vacation for us. There is something about small islands that makes them that bit more special. I simply love white beaches and turquoise seas, nothing is more perfect than that. From my research I have found out that flights do go to the island from Europe, particularly Holland, which isn’t far from where I am based. Thanks for sharing this article.
You are welcome Ray. I believe you and your family will enjoy Palm Beach Aruba. Please let me know if you need any additional information.
Nice!, this is definitely a place to be, i can do with some relaxation right now, after all this global pandemic, i will be sure to go for a vacation with my family and palm Eagle Beach Aruba is a nice option and it has many good places to relax and have fun, am sure my family will love this, and i will also recommend it to my friends because they will like to have fun after this pandemic..Thanks for sharing
I agree with you! I think everyone is ready for a nice relaxing vacation once this pandemic is over. I am glad you enjoyed. Thanks for visiting Beach Travel Destinations.
A nice post about relaxing in Aruba. I don’t know if there will be as much visitation there, due to the Corona Virus. There were a lot of different fun opportunities provided, as well as plenty of places to get food and drink. Sounds very relaxing and peaceful. You have provided everything! We all need to visit Aruba, and places like it.
I agree, once this virus is done and we are back to our new normal. I have my plans in place, just waiting until it is safe 🙂
I have always wanted to go to the Caribbean. I once visited the Colombian Caribbean and it was so beautiful, the water is so clear, it’s amazing. Aruba is definitely on my list. I did not know that it was out of the hurricane belt. So, it never gets any hurricanes or storms? Just rain?
Those Fofoti trees on Eagle Beach look spectacular, the first one looks like a lizard that’s ready to start walking. I have never seen those trees before.
I like the map you provided with hotel locations and prices. That gives a good idea and can help with vacation planning. Hopefully, one day I can travel to Aruba! Those beaches look like heaven!
Yes, they do have some rain but not in the hurricane belt which does make it nice for planning with no worries 🙂 I appreciate you taking the time to leave me some comments.
Oh me oh my! I need a beach vacay! Amid all this corona madness I have been working way more than normal because I’ve been able to bounce back and forth more easily between my day job and secondary money making ventures… I’m burnt out and the “sugar-white” sand is calling my name!
Thanks for the detailed review and introduction to this gorgeous beach. Palm Beach Aruba is now on my list of next up vacations.
Yes, the sugar white beach is calling my name too! I am so overdue LOL. Glad you enjoyed my Palm Beach Aruba guide.
Daaammm! you have really raised my appetite to experience such a wonderful and serine environment. These are the places man must take vacation to, after many months of stressing the body. In fact, this is Paradise on earth where everything that heals the soul is at its best. I love this your blog and I commend you for coming out with such an amazing website to help.
Thank you Osei!
Wow! This is actually the very first time that I have heard about Palm Beach Aruba, and I must say that wealth of information you have is really good. The place really seems like a haven with such special beauty and tranquility. I will really like to vacation here. I have always wanted to visit Aruba. I really appreciate all the work you put into this travel guide. Thanks so much for sharing!
