I have worked in the tourism industry for over twenty years selling timeshares at La Cabana BRC to US citizens from the East coast and have a lot of experience in helping tourist in getting what they want in the leisure industry. I do speak English and Dutch; however, I will be writing to you in English if you decide to book this property. English is the best language in which I can express myself as a native Aruban. Dutch is a language that I know but I do not speak it on a daily basis so in other words it is a bit difficult to express myself in Dutch compared with a native Dutch speaker who is speaking out of the Dutch culture. I love people in general, dealing with businesspeople and adventurous people who like hiking, mountain biking, camping, body surfing, windsurfing, kayaking, fishing, diving, and ATV riding who I can guide how natives get the best possible prices on the things you like to do while on vacation here at Aruba Backpackers. In a few words when where and how to do things done in Aruba
I like to socialize in the morning sharing a cup of organic tea fresh from the garden and making your stay pleasant on Aruba by listening to you and how I can make that happen for you. I do not have ATM or swipe machine on premises, no banking service lending or exchanging currency to guest, make sure you have changed your money in USD United States Dollars before coming to Aruba. US dollar is accepted everywhere on the Island. Keep in mind Aruba is an expensive vacation destination. How to do things on the Island, where and when to visit those places, those questions which are important to you, I will be there in the morning to help you out. If you like to have information on certain activities before getting to Aruba, I will arrange those for you by simply le tin me know in advance.
Safe with no big city noise . It is easy to catch public busses, your cabin is just 2 minutes walk to the bus stop to Oranjestad or San Nicolaas. Backpackers take 28 minutes to walk from the Airport to our location it is only 3.6 km and you don't hear the noise from airplanes. You are surrounded by 7 supermarkets ( just to mention a few; Cmart, Bon Dia, Hua Hing Food center, Exito food center, Wan Jia Le supermarket) within walking distance. There are 5 restaurants where you can lunch or dine at local prices (Carnivorous, Sweet Garden, Casa Vieja, and Boeny.Daily Dose . You can visit Niki Beach (3,3 km) 35 minutes walking or 12 minutes riding a bicycle. Also 2 shopping malls ( Cayena Mall and San Barbola Mall with laundry facilities. Next door to your apartment there is a Gym (Joe fitness ) and if you love fishing you can book a fishing trip with fishing paradise right here.
