| bwyckoff1's Full Review: Aruba |
Are you looking for white sandy long beaches so brilliant that they glisten with the power of a million diamonds? Then aruba just may be the place. I have been here for the last seven years and all over the carribean- and aruba is always my favorite. Why?
People who enjoy the fact that you are visiting- Glorious long walks on an endless beach- great town- expensive but quality merchandise. I also love the fact that there is no one hawking products on the beach. The only downside is that there is a strong wind which sometimes hinders where you walk on the beach.
There is nice public, cheap, transport buses that run along the beach hotels into town. Another advantage is if you do rent a car driving is on the right- roads are very modern and nice to drive.
Casino and night life is great for those who want to try there luck at this.
There is windsurfing- snorkeling and diving. There is a private island called Depalm island where for a small fee, a ferry will plant you into a virtual aquarium of tropical fish. It has a small diving platform- changing area- and small bar. Nice for a day trip. Also very inexpensive.
There is also the natural bridge which is a huge rock bridge cut over the water.
The island lies outside the hurricane belt so this is one spot you can feel comfortable making reservations too in the fall- something that can't be said about any other island.
