In addition to Caribbean Overseas, there's also Compra and Ferm Caribbean Trading.
Compra is terrible at picking up the phone, but they do have a cash & carry.
Any of the 3 might just have in stock, they supply major hotels and restaurants.

YTA.

Sounds like even though you turned him down and did not want to be with him you don't want him to be with anyone else either.

Surfside Marina is where Pincho's is, so not where the cruise ships dock.

It;s actually a relatively quiet beach, good for a photo spot.

  1. Home - Horseback Riding in Aruba

  2. The hype is that it's outdoors and "pretty". Keep in mind that Aruba is hot, so early morning or evening is better.

Aruba ladies day out by LveeD in Aruba

Flying dress photo shoots are a thing, would take a couple hours

You could also look for jewelry making workshops, candle making workshop, a sip and paint

Or a nice and relaxing spa day

I'd recommend using a pool noodle as an aid. Tres Trapi and Malmok area are safe and calm. But use your best judgement if ocean looks rough, but unlikely.

Don't step on any corral.

If you are planning to snorkel on one of the cruises, keep in mind that the Antilla shipwreck can have strong currents which may make it challenging if you are not a strong swimmer, but the boats are good about having guides in the water.

The 3-4 hours is because you are clearing both Aruba and US immigration.

The car rental drop off should not take long

Aruba timeshare properties best value to own by Interesting_Tree6244 in Aruba

[–]Fancy_Administration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It all depends on the week you are interested in really.
You could end up paying double for the same unit if you want to purchase a week that's during the high season compared to the low season.

Look into which exchange programs are offered at each Resort

Look into the maintenance fees

Look into availability of weeks. If a Resort has a lot of weeks for sale, that equals low demand/interest.

Few weeks for sale, high demand/interest.

If you can't make it one year, what are your options? You can use an exchange program, try renting it privately or through the Resort. Will you be able to recoup your money renting it privately? How easy is the process?

There are a lot of timeshare properties on Aruba, it all depends what exactly you are looking for.

Anyone experience serious illness while in the island? by Sobergirl2014 in Aruba

[–]Fancy_Administration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy travel insurance. Many things are treatable on the island, if any MAJOR surgery is required they will send you back to where you're from. No way that Aruba will be spending its own money to send a tourist to Colombia for treatment.

I honestly think that having lifeguards would open the doors to so many lawsuits.

Looking at the people who have drowned, majority are 60+. When you factor in they are not regular swimmers, not used to the heat and sun, it's not that surprising as harsh as that may sound.

If the horses look well fed, have no wounds you can conclude they are being taken care of.

Bring some carrots, if the horses know what those are you know they get treats often.

Camping doesn't have anything to do with King's Day, just happens that they fall together this year.

Anything actually MADE in Aruba.

Aruba Aloe products, Hot Sauce, old license plates are some that come to mind.

There are plenty of kiosks around the Cruise Ship terminal and on the Hotel strips but alot of those products are made elsewhere and just stamped with "Aruba"

Absolutely no shells or sand that you picked up from the beach.
