Aruba - Last October we took a tour of the island with a taxi guide, Iris, who told us we couldn't just go to the beach.  We had to see the island.  She was great!  At the end of the island tour she dropped us off at the Hilton, which is on Palm Beach.  The Hilton grounds were beautiful walking to the beach (see below video), but we thought the umbrella and chair rentals were extremely expensive, so we took a taxi to Amsterdam Manor at Eagle Beach, where we had gone in 2013. At the bottom of this post are some pictures from Amsterdam Manor/Eagle Beach. The umbrella and chair rentals at Amsterdam Manor were very reasonable and included WiFi.  I can't remember the exact cost, but I'm thinking it was $20-$30 for two chairs and an unbrella.  They also have food and drinks for additional charge, and restrooms within close walking distance..  Something to note: taxi's do not allow you to be wet or have sand on you, so be aware of this and consider the bus, which drops you off and picks you up near Amsterdam Manor.  In 2013 we took the bus to Eagle Beach/Amsterdam Manor and walked back (about 4-5 miles) and last October we took the bus back from Eagle Beach/Amsterdam Manor.  Below the Hilton video is a video on how to get to the bus station from the cruise terminal.

 

 

 

Hello 🙂  Did Iris leave you a business card or any other way to reach her in the future for another visit? Thanks
