Nice island, downtown area two blocks from the ship. Did they Hidden Gems tours that took you to two caves and a few other spots. This was ok. Our guide left a little bit to be desired.

We did find a small area where there was sand and a little area where we could wade. The people of Aruba were very friendly. Aruba is a beautiful island. We decided to return to the ship and rest and get ready for that nights food and entertainment. ...
