Aruba Beaches in 2022?

[brandba]

Has anybody been to any of the Aruba beaches recently?  Looking at possibly Arashi beach, but I don't see anyone who has been to it recently.  We are going to be in port April 21 all day-- just looking for a place to rent lounge  chairs with an unbrella and dunk ourselves in some nice water.  Nothing adventurous.  How difficult is it to get cabs to and from the beaches or is there an easier way to get to/from?  Need rest rooms and a place to get some food and a snack/lunch.

I was at Palm Beach in December (2021), so only a few months ago.  There are usually taxis sitting in front of hotels at Palm Beach - Hilton, Hyatt, Barcelo, etc..

 

Have you contacted any of the hotels to see if they offer day passes to use their facilities.  I have no idea if they offer it, but a quick google search, came up that  Barcelo and the RIU have offered a day pass in the past.. They are both at Palm Beach.

Resort for a Day offers day passes for Aruba.

Aruba All Inclusive Resort Day Pass & Shore Excursions (resortforaday.com)

 

Aruba also has a good public bus system that will get you to the beaches. The bus terminal is near the cruise terminal.

We will be there in late June and are planning on going to Arashi Beach.

We will be in Aruba next March. I think we will try the Resort for a day and see how we like the resort. Has any of you did that?

Best day pass on Aruba is The Barcelo, did it about 5 years ago it was $85(US) had a blast. Would definitely do it again.  On Palm Beach. Check it out I highly recommend it.

Yes, we took the public bus to Arashi. The beach was great. It was beautiful and there was snorkeling equipment available for rent. We saw a lot of fish while snorkeling.

That's good to know. Thank you for getting back to me.

Arashi is beautiful and we always head to Arashi several times when vacationing in Aruba and by cruise (we've taken the bus back as well during a cruise day). The snorkeling is good if you go to the left (while facing the beach).

 

You can find some of the reviews I've done of the beaches HERE if interested in seeing pictures of it.
