Q: How are the beaches and
the swimming?
A: The beaches are excellent for both swimming and snorkeling. The surf is
very calm by our beaches so it's perfect even for small children or
non-swimmers. Beaches are all free and even have thatched huts for visitors'
use.
Q: What about transportation?
A: You have several options: A rental car is the best bet but the main bus
line is also very convenient and runs every 15 minutes or so along the beach
road by our villa. Taxi service on the island is also very good.
Q: Are there grocery stores
nearby?
A: Yes, there are a number of very nice stores within a few miles of the
house. In fact, some stores are as impressive as the big super-stores here
in the US.
Q: What about currency?
A: Aruban currency is the Florin (about 1.75 Florins to the US dollar).
Aruban businesses accept US currency as well as most major credit cards. In
fact, when we go, we don't even bother bringing cash or travelers checks.
It's as easy shopping or eating out in Aruba as in the US.
Q: What about language?
A: English is their second language. Virtually all businesses in Aruba speak
English (as do most Arubans).
Q: What about house safety?
A: Our villa is located in one of the nicest an safest residential areas of
Aruba. The property is fully surrounded by a privacy wall. The house is
equipped with an alarm system.
