Oranjestad-East

Oranjestad

View of Oranjestad's harbor from the top deck of our ship.  Took this photo just before spending the day ashore.
The Royal Plaza Mall is the most traditional shopping area in Oranjestad. This very pink and ornate building houses an attractive collection of shops that offers a little bit of everything. It is conveniently located right across the cruise ship terminal right in the middle of Oranjestad, walking distance to the bus station, museums , galleries and shopping malls.
I had no idea there were water spiders until diving in Aruba!
Gorgeous buildings downtown
Beautiful Beach in Aruba

A good clean room in a great location for walking to most things. The host, Fred, was very helpfull. I would not recommend it for any light sleepers due to the barking dogs next door and traffic on the nearby main road.
