A great reference for your Arubian vacation. We used it constantly, on the plane, on the beach, and in the desert! Great hints/tips, maps, suggested exploring routes, recommended beaches, shopping, diving sites, etc. Only gave it 4 stars b/c it is becoming slightly out of date. Need an updated version soon...However, still highly recommended!

I found this book to be extremely helpful on my recent trip to Aruba. For a little country it really has so much to offer, but without proper guidance it might be hard to discover everything there is to see and do. The book is well-written, logical, and concise. Buy it, book a trip, read it on the plane, and refer to it while you are there! I was in Aruba for six days and looked at this book EVERY single day.

I'd like to add that I vistited a lot of hotels and restaurants while on my trip, and can attest that the reviews in the book are quite accurate. There are so many great values to be had in Aruba, and this book will help you find them.

Bottom line: the book is a great asset for a wonderful trip. And don't forget to use sunscreen!!

ps: Don't miss the JOLLY PIRATES snorkel and lunch cruise (see page 93). They are now located on Moomba Beach between the Marriott and the Holiday Inn. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!

Talks about how to get the best filght and where to stay and eat with complete reviews and price. Also gives dress codes for restraunts and shows. Talks about all beaches and a ton of activities in depth. Only available in portable size and it has the most and best information about Aruba of all the guides. Plus has shopping and side trips and nightlife. Enjoy!
