Which beach meets our requirements?

[brookie848]

On our March cruise, we will be in Aruba from 8-5. We plan on this being our beach day. I'm having a difficult time keeping track of all of the beaches and what is offered where. We are not opposed to paying for an all-inclusive if that ends up being best for us.

 

Here is what we need:

• Chair and umbrella rental.
• Places to buy food/drink.
• Decent restrooms!
• Shade -- especially if umbrella rentals are not available.
• We prefer to take a taxi and need a taxi there to pick us up when we are ready to leave.
• We don't care about snorkeling and would prefer a sandy beach.

 

Our favorite Caribbean beaches/places to go include Jost Van Dyke, BeachLimerz in Antigua (I'd live here if I could), Nachi Cocum in Cozumel, Rascals in Barbados (Boatyard was okay, too).

 

Thanks!

I think Baby Beach is very impressive but it will be costly getting there and back by cab. 

Baby beach has a check mark next to everything you request 

Big Mama's grill has the food and drinks    and if you buy  you can use the bathroom for free 

 

AI is available at Barcelo and Riu for 130pp for 9am - 5pm     but by 9am all the chairs are taken
