This hotel is not like the other high rises in Palm Beach (which is 2 miles away and very busy area). It’s off the beaten path but on the most beautiful beach in Aruba. The palapas are fabulous. Full sun coverage. Beach bar/restaurant right on beach. It is not super luxury but very sweet and cheerful and comfortable. Price is 1/2 the price of big hotels and I prefer it. It is down to earth and calm. Not a tourist trap. Staff couldn’t be more attentive or accommodating. Rooms cleaned and straightened several times a day. Kitchenette convenient. Super Food Mart down the street and it’s like a Costco, Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s all in one. You can find anything and everything there including fresh fruits and veggies and meats and fish flown in daily.
I’d suggest renting a car. Only 15 minutes from airport. And bus stop right in front. But I’m spoiled and want to jump in my car and go whenever I feel like it. Snorkeling is not a thing on Eagle beach but plenty of 1/2 day boat trips to snorkel sites and off beach snorkeling as well 10 minutes away.
Most impressive are the restaurants. World class food. Try Barefoot, Azar, Giovanni’s to name a few. Weather always windy but it cools you off and keeps bugs away. Not annoying on the beach. Even if forecast is full clouds or rain no worries it changes in 10 minutes. Everything easy there. Great getaway, and direct flights from nyc and elsewhere. Just go.
