[@rehan2118]

are you allowed to take drones with you?

[@globetrottinggang]

@@rehan2118 you can, but have to request permission in advance on your drone’s app that you will fly at a certain height (maximum) because the island is close to the airport. We didn’t have time to do it, as we only realized it was necessary after we had reached De Palm Island, but Ive seen other KZbinrs with drone footage.

[@Kunuku_Benedict]

As someone who's visited Aruba almost 15 times and will be going again in 2 weeks, this video is incredibly thorough and you clearly devoted hours and days to producing it. A must watch for any Aruba newbie. A few things I'd add: The catamaran sunset tours, the pros & cons to all inclusive hotels vs. standard hotels, The famous Alhambra casino as well as other places to gamble, and the atypical customs process when departing Aruba. Best of luck to you and your family on your future traveling adventures! ✈✈

[@globetrottinggang]

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed comment. Yes, editing the video was weeks of sweat and tears, but at the same time, so much fun reliving all our adventures… and being able to share it with others makes it all worthwhile. Thanks for the tips, we will take note of the places you mentioned here and visit them on our next trip to Aruba (grownups vacation 😁 this time). Have a beautiful trip in two weeks! 😊☺️

Thank you so much for your comment and watching the video. Thank you for watching! No, there is no requirement for flying a drone in Aruba, except for flying close to the airport.

Hi, thank you for watching and for your comment! 😊😊 Here’s the info I found: “For budget-conscious travelers, the best time to visit Aruba often falls during the off-peak months, which are typically from late spring to early autumn. These more budget-friendly periods, running from May to November, coincide with the island's ‘off-season’.”

[@Jo-sl2rj]

@ Thank you so much!

[@ArtCafeNyack]

Thanks for your video! Very informative! Do you have to pay for chairs at the beaches? Do you need to reserve them?

[@globetrottinggang]

Hi! Thank you for watching! Yes you have to pay to rent chairs at the beach in most places. The prices vary. It can get pricey, I have seen up to 70 USD for 2 chairs and an umbrella for the day. We are a big family so most times we sit on our towels and we’re always in the water anyway, so we skip those hefty-priced chairs. There are some websites where you can rent them in advance. For example Franks Place www.franksplacearuba.com/rentals/beach-chair-umbrella-rental-holiday-inn-location/ or Delphi Watersports www.delphiwatersports.com/rentals/beach-umbrella-and-beach-chairs-package/ Another option, if you’re staying long enough is to go and buy chairs at the store and leave or gift them when you’re leaving the island. And if you’re staying at a airbnb check because often the owner may have some for their guests. Hope this helps! Enjoy your trip!

[@globetrottinggang]

Hi! Thanks for watching. I totally understand I am always a little intimidated when driving during our travels. But we found the streets in Aruba were super easy to navigate. Only concern would be the roundabouts, if you are not used to them. We have some here in Canada, so it was Ok but if you don’t, you may want to watch a video or two about them. But after you’ve tried them, you’ll be fine. Link below is a good video I’ve found. Hope it helps! 😊😊 Have a great trip! kzbin.info/www/bejne/amfQgIOwaNebftUsi=9CafwVNR-9qr3qb9

Driving the the Marriott Resort is approximately 20 minutes drive from the airport. The driving is on the same side as the 🇺🇸. Also the roads are in good condition. Only difference is the roundabouts but you get used to them quite fast.

[@mrtosado]

Do I need a jeep to get around the island ?

[@globetrottinggang]

Hi! Thanks for watching. You don’t, unless you are going to drive in Arikok National Park. If not, it’s perfectly fine even with a small car.

[@mrtosado]

@ great video. And thanks for your response. Will a ford explorer get me To the Arikok national park?

[@globetrottinggang]

​​⁠Yes it should be good. In the park, there are specific roads designated exclusively for 4x4 vehicles, but the others are ok for smaller, regular vehicles. So you actually only need a 4WD to get to the Conchi Natural Pool. If your Ford Explorer isn’t equipped with that option, and you want to get to the Natural Pool, you can park and hike to the pool. I think it’s about a 3 mile hike. Hope this helps!

Here is a DONT. My wife and I went to Aruba Floating Massage. The massage was OK. The owner however was super rude. Like really ... unexpectedly came to us in the middle of our time where my wife and I were enjoying the sunset and our special moment and she said - your time is up - you did not pay for the 30 min you spent looking at the sunset. Apparently her staff screwed up in booking. But she literally chased us out by saying - you got to go now. We paid $330 - just to be chased out because we were watching a sunset with the extra hour that we thought we had because her staff mixed up the packages. We left with such a sour feeling... She ruined a beautiful moment I had with my wife. A moment that I paid them for. Terrible business...

Oh no I am so sorry to hear this. Sadly there are rude and money-driven people everywhere. Hope you still enjoyed your vacation and didn’t let this event ruin it all for you. Happy Holidays!

Why do you have to say tip your server? ALWAYS tip your server unless bad service of course.

[@globetrottinggang]

NOT all countries tip. We’ve been to some countries where it is considered an insult to tip after a meal. So I added it: more information is better than less.

Obrigada e muito orgulhosa de ser uma novata. E tambem muito orgulhosa de aprender o portugues e saber distinguir as palavras bonitas das feias.
