Assistance please "De Palm pier, RIU Palace Resort"

[Lorieliz]

Hello everyone,

 

I have the following instructions for a tour with Tranquilo (Anthony)

 

"Meet me for boarding at 9:30 on the beach next to De Palm pier by the RIU Palace resort on Palm Beach"

 

I was just wondering if anyone knew how far away this is from where the Princess Grand docks in Aruba.

 

Thanks!

This is on Palm Beach. There is an alley which lays between the Riu and Radisson resorts which leads from the street out onto the beach and you will see the De Palm Pier straight ahead. Captain Anthony will appear via dinghy on the right hand side of the pier, collect payment (cash only) and then ferry you out to the sailboat from there.

I am not sure how long of a bus ride it would be, but via TAXI, leave yourself 20 minutes from the cruise terminal to the De Palm Pier, this will give you a few minute cushion for traffic getting you out of downtown Oranjestad and then the walk out to the beach from the street.
