One other shock you didn’t mention; unlike many other Caribbean countries, the tap water is of excellent quality and perfectly safe to drink.

[@yzm06]

they distill it from sea water

[@succesfullx]

@Gandalf4568 the water in the netherlands its not nice at all as the one in Aruba so what has the dutch to do with it? Aruba is part of the netherlands but it’s not dutch. We still have our own official language and etc.

[@smalltimber7670]

Jamaica also has great tap water quality

[@Libra_Strings]

Especially if you’ve survived a major city’s tap water in the USA 😂

[@saltimental]

As an Aruban that lives in the poor district (San Nicolas) we have some good places here to eat at as well. And way cheaper. Like O'Niel Caribbean Kitchen which is in the main street of San Nicolas. Amazing food for a good price. As well as Zeerover's in Savaneta. And just a bunch of food trucks in general are awesome. Two people can eat for 25 fl at certain food trucks.

Kamini’s Kitchen is a great Restaurant on the way to Baby Beach. The food at the Bus Stop downtown San Nicholas is surprisingly good!

[@Mulerider4Life]

Zeerover's was awesome.

I always make a stop at Saco Felipe one night. It's one of my favorite meals on the island. I also liked Kamini's Kitchen. I would stop on the way back from Baby/Rodger's Beach.

Something that might “shock” Americans: you cannot make a right turn on a red light in Aruba. Red light means stop in all cases.

[@matthewhoffman9788]

Biggest shock we had was going inland and being surrounded by desert which felt like we were in Sedona Arizona rather than on a Caribbean Island in Aruba

[@topiesponja]

In my case the biggest culture shock I had was just how multicultural Aruba is: everyone has all sorts of different heritage, and they're all poliglots! Also I was expecting everyone to mainly speak Dutch, but turned out that pretty much no one communicated to each other in this language (although of course they are fluent speakers). People socialize with each other mainly in Papiamento instead (which is also super interesting)

[@naiyaracurlz2698]

Papiamento is the official language. So yeah....

Wolter - I had an interesting experience a few years back. I booked a quick trip in the Savaneta district of the island. Didn't realize it was their Labor Day - just about everything was shut down. The nearby Dutch/Aruban joint patrol base threw their gates open, an annual event that I was luckily there for. What a cool experience - vendors selling food, and demonstrations of military equipment, including a "shooting range" where we were able to fire M-16s loaded with blanks.

hey wolter, from aruba here! very happy you enjoyed our island! i do agree tht we do have a lot of jewelry stores on the island (its something me and my mom rant about with each other a lot). but a quick tip on visiting here, you can buy delicious pastechis at a good price if you explore those little snack places around the island. usually pastechis or any other local creole foods near the hotel areas are really expensive, but if you go deep in the island, you will find little snack places (especially in the morning) tht sells delicious pastechis and other snacks for a really cheaper price :)

The biggest shock when I visited was the huge impact of the Netherlands on nearly everything from culture to food.

[@finalascent]

It's even more so on nearby Curacao, which I actually prefer to Aruba.

[@chrisrm18]

Its all in the eye of the beholder. Come from Europe and it might seem Americanized or Latinized. Come from the US and it might seem European. Everyone is correct. Aruba is a mix of West Indian, Latino, Dutch, and American cultures(among others). In Curacao you will find a lot more Dutch people in general than in Aruba. They lean much more heavily towards the Dutch tourism market. Whereas Aruba leans towards the more affluent US market. There are many differences between Aruba and Curacao, but both are worth visiting.

[@Hi_MyNameIs_]

Why is that a shock? The ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao) are dutch. Saba, st. Eustatius and Saint Martin are Dutch also (known as the SSS islands). All those islands together are the Dutch Antilles.

[@rashaadmaduro1038]

Aruba is the most expensive of the ABC islands, but none are overly cheap. Curacao is roughly what you would pay in the states for meals but if you get off the Tourist trail the Mom and Pop restaurants are less expensive with usually better food.

[@tomywiliemsshavalaswijaya9735]

Tank you

[@jimray2281]

Great video! I love that Aruba has invested in infrastructure with the WattyVos highway that takes airport visitors direct to the main resort areas and the addition of linear parks lining much of the coastal roads from the northern point to the airport - demonstrates an appreciation for the tourism and not taking it for granted. 14 trips since 2001 thanks to the friendly Aruban people that make me feel so welcome

[@Bananaman-hk6qw]

The Dutch government also really cares about their islands! The Dutch recently invested millions for a better ferry connection. And they also invested in restoring the old buildings and helping poor people out!

One thing I have to correct the beaches are not really east and west. The main difference is south and north. The southern half of the island is the tranquil white sandy beaches and the northern coast of the island is the rough Atlantic ocean side. With the dark lava rocks which are shown in the video. Besides that the video is really accurate.

[@moriver3857]

I've been in Aruba like 10 times in last 4 years, and hung out for many days, each visit ( its going to be my retirement location) and don't recall those so called expensive restaurants. I never rent a car. I ride the buses. Go to Mathews on the high side. Indeed it's safe, and no hurricanes. Baby beach is nice, and check out the Flintstores figures and the bar. Go for new years eve. Talk about fireworks.

[@davismi4584]

Been there twice and was not disappointed. Food is definitely their specialty. Little pricey but worth it.

[@Carlo_Amico]

When was this vid taken? The natural bridge has been long gone (2005). And have you been around the port area in Oranjestad lately? Have you not seen the decay? Lot's of shops and bars are closed (long before COVID). But some things you're right, the beaches are beautiful. There are lot of great places where you can get great food at a good price. You should try Zeerovers (the freshest fish you'll ever eat) or O'Niel in San Nicolas or Reflexion's Beach Bar, cheaper than his neighbour Barefoot but with the same stuning sunset!

Also seek out thr Food trucks, like Well Done at Linear Park, Ruiz, and last but not least Urataca Center for the best home made pizza, a must have. Blossoms is pricier but worth every cent as is Local Store with their amazing American-Aruban comfort food and craft beers. Bazrrr and Green Foods are excellent vegeterian and vegan offers which are actually surprisingly inexpensive. For the Brunch, no one beats the Hyatt Regency, not even close. Enjoy, bon apetite!

[@patcooper1343]

My husband and I have been going to Aruba for 30 years and I disagree with the cost of food. Yes there are plenty of good expensive restaurants in the price range mentioned; however, there are many good restaurants where a party of two can eat for less. In the high rise area, there are few fast food restaurants. The capitol may have more to accommodate cruise ship passengers who are seeking a quick bite to take to the beach.

Getting screened a second time before the flight back to NY by US TSA caught me off guard. I had never heard of "Preclearance" - I was annoyed at first (and glad I got there extra early), but it was actually really cool to just land in the US and not deal with Customs - just walk off the plane and out to my ride home.

[@daddydoodoo9089]

Aruba is s major stop off point for a variety of illegal drugs including Cocaine from Columbia and Hash from Spain. Customs are being preemptive.

[@finalascent]

@@daddydoodoo9089 Actually I've heard that both Aruba and Curacao have those concerns. But "preclearance" is something done at a select number of foreign airports to more ease landside congestion for US -bound travelers. The drug screen issue is secondary.

[@RTDoh5]

It is not TSA, it is U.S. Customs and Border Protection Federal Officers. An agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. You are being cleared for immigration and Customs before landing in the U.S.. They are located at major cities thru CANADA, BAHAMAS, BERMUDA, Shannon Ireland. There was a plan to expand them further, but that has been placed on hold.

[@finalascent]

@@RTDoh5 Ah, I do appreciate the correction. Nonetheless, for some reason I didn't know about it ahead of time, but despite the initial annoyance at being screened a second time, the upfront investment of time paid off groundside back in NY. Why was preclearance expansion put on hold? It just makes so damned much sense...

Two shocks you didn’t mention: 1. It is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (so it’s Dutch), though it looks more American. If you want a Dutch Caribbean experience visit Curaçao. 2. It has a desert landscape (unlike most Caribbean islands) because it is in a rain shadow effect from the eastern islands (such as Saint Lucia, Martinique, Dominica, Saint Vincent, and Barbados) and the Venezuelan Andes.

It's apropos that I watched this video just now, because now is the 6th anniversary of my trip to Curacao (my one and only time, so far, that I've been to any of the ABC islands). When watching this video, it brings back memories of that trip of mine. I see many broad similarities between Aruba and Curacao - gentle, sandy west side beaches vs. the rough and rugged east shore (including the waves), plus oil refineries next to sites of interest (in Curacao's case, next to the old Jewish cemetery). But yeah, Curacao packs much culture and history where Aruba is more purely (but by no means 100%) a beach resort.

[@heavenbound9157]

I respectfully disagree. Aruba has a rich history and a very interesting culture. Colonized by the Spanish, the British and the Dutch, these infliences can be seen back in everything -the language, the culture, the way of living. Of course if you stay in the resort area you are not going to get the real Aruban experience. Aruba and Curaçao (and Bonaire) are A LOT more different than people would think at first glance.
