Hotel beaches in Aruba

[kkbay]

Anyone know of any hotels with great beaches that rent chairs for non-guests? :)We want the best spot. No snorkeling necessary, as we plan to snorkel in Bonaire.

Thanks!

We just returned on Sunday, I'm not sure about hotels renting out chairs but there are people on the beaches renting them for about $10. You'll see them when you get on the beach.

Hi- We took the advice on this forum and went to the Radisson in April. It was great.:)

Can you tell me if you had to make arrangements in advance or if you did it as a walk in? Also, how long does it take by taxi to get there?

 

Thanks,

15 or 20 minutes in a taxi and you don't need to plan it in advance :D

When we first started cruising we went to the Radisson and they charged $10 p/p for use of their facilities. On a few occasions when they weren't busy they said "don't worry about it, just put the chairs back when you're finished". When we were there two years ago they wanted $100 p/p and we walked away. Guess the current economic conditions has had them rethinking their charges so we'll give them a try again in April.

I can't believe I posted such a wrong, wrong, wrong comment. It was the Marriott in Grand Cayman, not the Radisson in Aruba we had these experiences with. Sorry!
