What are the best resorts with a swimming pool in Aruba?
Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA) is the only major airport in Aruba. It handles all international flights and is the primary gateway for visitors.

What are the best family friendly resorts in Aruba?
Is the driving culture in Aruba considered safe for tourists?
Driving in Aruba is generally safe, but it's important to be aware of the local driving habits. Remember to drive on the right-hand side of the road. Be cautious of pedestrians and cyclists, especially in more populated areas. Renting a 4x4 vehicle is recommended if you plan on exploring the more rugged parts of Arikok National Park.
Are there any important traditions to honour while travelling in Aruba?
Aruba has a rich multicultural heritage blending Dutch, Caribbean and other influences. Respectful behaviour is always appreciated. Learning a few basic Papiamento phrases is a nice gesture.

Are there any noteworthy festivals unique to Aruba?
Aruba celebrates various festivals throughout the year. The most prominent is the annual Aruba Carnival, a vibrant celebration with parades, music, and dancing. Other notable events include the Bon Bini Festival, offering a taste of Aruban culture, and the annual San Nicolas Festival, showcasing the cultural heritage of San Nicolas.
What areas offer the best experiences for a full week in Aruba?
A week in Aruba allows for a diverse itinerary. Spend a few days relaxing on Palm Beach or Eagle Beach, enjoying water sports and the resort amenities. Dedicate time to exploring Arikok National Park, visiting the California Lighthouse and the Natural Pool. Explore Oranjestad's historical centre and perhaps take a day trip to Renaissance Island for a luxurious beach experience.
Where should you go for a fun weekend in Aruba?
For a fun weekend, focus on the Palm Beach area with its lively atmosphere, casinos, and restaurants. Enjoy the beach, try water sports, and experience the vibrant nightlife. A visit to Oranjestad for some shopping and exploring the historical sites would also be worthwhile.
What are the emergency contacts for medical or security situations in Aruba?
For medical emergencies, dial 911. For police assistance, also dial 911. It's advisable to have the contact information for your local embassy or consulate handy as well.
