I can help you out with that.
When your group of 9(how nice!!) gets off your ship, your going to bottleneck out of port security to your left then go to the right into town.
Your not solo like myself. If I were you I would find a minivan taxi never a problem and pay them to take you and pick you up at an agreed upon time to and from Eagle Beach. They'll be a ZILLION taxi drivers as you walk outside of security.
With a group that size your own taxi van with just your family is the way to go. You can work out a very reasonable fee and time to be picked up.
I'm solo for me it's very easy to take city transportation but in your case you can all go together in the same van for a very reasonable price.
Nice palapas for rent at Eagle Beach.
It's nice. Your group if you get there early you can rent a couple of them right beside each other. With 2 loungers, I'm not sure what they cost a palapa and 2 chairs is around $25 a day. Great deal great beach.
Passions at the Beach as you go down the ramp to the beach will be on your right, I recommend you getting palapas close to Passions. Get your palapas BETWEEN Passions and the Beach not on the side, go up front get you a couple of palapas where you can see everything plus if you get thirsty or hungry Passions is right there. GREAT food I found their menu for a beach bar, incredible. Best seat on the beach.
I don't know if you can rent palapas ahead of time. I've never done that I just get to the beach EARLY find me the nicest palapa, drop my backpack pay the man, and get the party started.
I guess you could email Amsterdam Manor and check OR get your group together early and get to Eagle Beach.
Unless there's a large number of ships in port there really shouldn't be too much of a problem renting a couple of palapas. Have a nice vacation and when you get back please don't forget to give us a review. Take care
You are such a great source of info. Our family party of 5 has become a party of 7 so I think we will do the mini van route as well. I assume we should plan to bring our car seat.

Thanks so much for such a detailed response. I appreciate it. Haven't been to Aruba in 25 years. My "baby" was one and now we are taking his baby who will be one.

On 12/6/2023 at 7:13 PM, TTEllis said:It's the city bus. When you walk out of the security area and walk towards town, the bus terminal is on your LEFT-ISH at about 11o'clock across the street.Walk right up to the ticket window and tell the individual behind the glass that you and yours want to spend your afternoon at EAGLE BEACH. I think it's around $3 per ticket, very cost effective it's the only way to go, I think the ticket was 1 way. So to and from Eagle Beach roundtrip p.p., less than $7 total. Buses nice clean and open.
When you get dropped off at the bus stop behind Amsterdam Manor it's on the way back it's a one way loop you come back towards the port, Eagle Beach and your ship are not walking distance but their not far apart either.
I've never taken a taxi on Aruba always did the city bus or theT Party Bus.
If your waiting for your bus or taxi and the Party Bus pulls up. Hop on the Party Bus, you can hear it coming from 2 miles away. The guy doesn't charge a fee but he takes BIG tips.😉 Lots of fun, great music and he drops you off right there at port security.
The city bus will pick you up right where they dropped you off behind Amsterdam Manor. Same spot, from the bus stop back to your ship will be about 10 minutes and that's pushing it. You just pull into the bus terminal and walk across the street to port security and your back at the ship.
fHope that helps. Todd
Todd I thought the Amsterdam Manor was the stop after Eagle. No? Is it easy to push a stroller onto the beach? Is there a walkway? Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I forgot about the splashpad

"a little over one"? That's so precious!!! I've been going to Eagle Beach now for almost 20 years solo. I see so many families on Eagle Beach with little ones having a time, it's so wonderful. Eagle because of the width and area of the beach it's very very family oriented. You can see everything it's very open.

Thank you

How easy is it to maneuver strollers on beach?

My granddaughter will be a little over one. How difficult is it to push a stroller onto the beach?

Can someone tell me where to get off the bus when going to Eagle beach?
Want a location where we can rent chairs/umbrella and that has a restroom.
Thanks in advance.
My understanding is that you get off at the stop after Eagle Beach. There is a hotel there called Amsterdam Manor. You can rent chairs/umbrellas there. They also have a restaurant. When you return I would appreciate it, if you can confirm!

DePalm has a contract with the cruise lines. Technically, they only allow you to book with them through your cruise line. Someone on here mentioned that they were going to schedule a pickup at one of the hotels. This was a few years ago, and I don't know if it worked out.
The excursion is sold out on our cruise planner

I would like to book DePalm Island and they offer transportation
The drop down menu does not include the cruiseport. Anyone know if they offer pick up from the port?
