Purchase at their front desk. For more info use the forum's search function ;)

Here is some info that I received back from the hotel after emailing them about the day pass. It is $78/person which includes food, drinks and non motorized sports. The hours are 9-6. You can book book ahead of time. They sent me a form to authorize the charge on my credit card and that will book it for me.

We are going to the Occidental in April. We bought our day pass from Caribbeandaypass.com. The cost was $77 for each person. They emailed me the conformation right away. I like to be sure that we have our plans set before we cruise-makes vacation more relaxing.

I cannot seem to find an email contact on Occidental's website. Did anyone end up booking through caribbeandaypass.com? It's listed at $77.

OMG..you can have a GREAT beach day for 2 people for 1/2 that price (around $40), just by going to any beach! All the beaches have chair rentals...there are restrooms around, and food/drink.

There is no guarantee of getting chairs or shade on Eagle Beach, and just a few bathrooms. You will have a better chance of all of this and food and drink on Palm Beach. Unless you have to have a pool, I would never waste my money on an all inclusive on a one day trip to Aruba.

Called them, they have the old price, new is $89...

I emailed GM_GrandAruba@occidentalhotels.com this past week and I got this reply within 2 days:

We were here Thursday April 2nd and paid $75 per person. We got a wristband and had use of the pool, beach with chairs (plenty to go around) and float rafts. We had drinks, breakfast and lunch included, the food was just ok. Drinks weren't the best, they used some type of liquid mixes...not real fruit juices for the tropical drinks. I ended up drinking cosmos with absolute vodka, these were pretty good. We did get an umbrella because the beach patrol took down someone's bag holding the spot. He noticed it had been there since 5:30 am with nobody using it. Ask if someone can help you get an umbrella. The beach was pretty crowded because this is one of two resorts that will sell day passes. For this reason Id never stay here for vacation. All of the working resort people were very nice and the beach and water was beautiful.
