Most of the visitors stay in one of three locations: in Oranjestad, in the Low-Rise hotel area along Eagle Beach or in the High-Rise hotel area on Palm Beach. The three areas have different atmospheres, but there is one for every taste. There are also time-shares, motels, small family run hotels, apartments and condos and private homes and villas. Some of them are situated further inland, but that means that they are more affordable. Whatever you choose, I can guarantee that you will have a fabulous holiday.
Oranjestad is Aruba's capital and largest city. There are a variety of restaurants, bars, boutiques, casinos and nightclubs there. There are less than 100,000 residents in the island, but most of them seem to live or work in or around the capital. The architecture in Oranjestad combines Dutch baroque ornaments with common Caribbean colors such as aqua, pink and pistachio. It is very clean and safe. However, if you walk some 4-5 blocks away from the waterfront and you can see the real working town. There are a lot of beautiful beaches only minutes away even from the capital.
The Low-Rise hotel district stretches over a number of beaches, such as Bushiri, Druif, Manchebo and Eagle beach. However, it is hard to tell where exactly one beach starts and one ends and that is why most of the people refer to the entire shoreline as Eagle Beach. In that area there are smaller complexes, low-rise boutique hotels, quiet timeshares and many apartment-style accommodations. If you decide on a self-catering apartment you can safe quite a bit by eating in from time to time. However, there are also plenty of restaurants in the area. If you prefer a quieter and less crowded area, then the Low-Rise district is for you.
The High-Rise district is on the opposite side and begins a quarter of a mile after Eagle Beach. Most of the hotels are right on the beach and have extensively landscaped gardens. Some hotels are upscale and others are middle class, but most boast restaurants bars and splashy casinos. Palm Beach area is quite busy crowded and offers different amenities and motorized watersports. There is also an abundance of restaurants, bars, casinos and different shops.
Other than the capital and the hotels, in Aruba there are a lot of beautiful natural wonders, amazing white beaches and a small number of authentically native towns.
