NAHA Posted September 4, 2006 #1 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Hi! I am looking for imformation on Palm Beach, Aruba, we would like to visit Palm Beach for the day, but information on this board says we cannot rent chairs or umbrellas from the resorts. Is there an excursion we can take from the ship that allows us time on the beach with available chairs and umbrellas and refreshments? Thanks for the help!

lmmn Posted September 4, 2006 #2 Share Posted September 4, 2006 You will not have any problem finding a place to rent chairs and umbrellas. I would not necessarily pick the first one. Check prices by stands close by. The rental prices vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribbean dreams Posted September 5, 2006 #3 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Please tell me what beach that is? we have been to Aruba a few times, the beaches are public but the cabanas and chairs are owned by hotels, we have asked a few times and they all say, you have to be a paytron of the hotel to use them. It would be nice to sit on the a chair instead of the sand all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierratango Posted September 5, 2006 #4 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Much bigger and better beach take a bus $2.00 to LaCabana , Costa Linda, Amsterdam Manor area Eagle beach has divi Trees if you can't find a chair or rent umbrella and huts as well... it is public..all beaches are. The Papalas belong to the resorts but you may get lucky its low season right now. You will want shade its HOT. Palm beach is at the High Rise Area . Lots of Building going on. But more shops, hotels and casinos if thats what you want. To just relax and swim..you'll have better luck at Lacabana area at Eagle beach. :) They have a few Bars on the beach and resturants too. Right on the sand. I have a time share on Aruba go every year? Home away from home. You'll love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arubalisa Posted September 12, 2006 #13 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I'm not rotti, but you can take a taxi to the Radisson. At the very southern end of the Radisson's Beach just before the De Palm Pier is a vendor's tent (see below) which rents all the "goodies". You can get there by taxi or bus. Bus is much cheaper, taxi is more convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSDsky Posted September 12, 2006 #14 Share Posted September 12, 2006 You nailed it as coud not remember hotel. All I do remember is it had wonderful grounds and a great casino. hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arubalisa Posted September 12, 2006 #15 Share Posted September 12, 2006 The Radisson IS a gorgeous resort. We will be returning there for the fourth time on Friday for an 8 night stay. Woman cannot live on cruising alone :D Taxi fare from Oranjestad to the Radisson on Palm Beach is $10 each way per car, not per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stprdi Posted September 14, 2006 #18 Share Posted September 14, 2006 We spent a few hours at Palm Beach right in front of the Radisson and it does clearly state the grass hut/chairs are owned by them but most weren't being used. We helped ourselves and nobody bothered us. It's beautiful there. A bit wavey but still nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arubalisa Posted September 15, 2006 #19 Share Posted September 15, 2006 A bit wavey but still nice. Wavey? As in waves? We stayed along Palm Beach 12 times in the past 10 years and with the exception of boat wake, never saw a wave there in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSDsky Posted September 15, 2006 #20 Share Posted September 15, 2006 everyone from same ship waves at one another?:confused: FLAT water when there this year. Nice coffee, fresh donuts and later cold Corona in bar just down from Radisson where chairs are available for rent by pier:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stprdi Posted September 15, 2006 #21 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Yes, waves as in "chop", cloudy water from all the sand stirred up. I swear to god, I have pictures. Maybe old Ernesto was causing problems. We were there the day prior to him coming past. I'm not trashing the beach it was beautiful and the Radisson is a gorgeous hotel. I"d go back. Love Aruba.

Arubalisa Posted September 22, 2006 #24 Share Posted September 22, 2006 LOL! We were at the beach at the AM on Monday night and it seemed like everytime I looked up towards the street, the bus was stopped loading and dropping people off :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAHA Posted October 4, 2006 Author #25 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Which beach do you prefer, the Radisson on Palm or the Amsterdam Manor on Eagle? We like to relax, I MUST have shade, cannot sit in the sun long. Water sports are not a necessity, a cool drink, maybe some food would be great, nice water to swim in. Thanks!
