19 years visiting Aruba and I've learned a lot. I do an Abnb now. I was there in July and the Abnb was $1300 for the week. the hotels have become very expensive

Jeez people just get an Airbnb. My place is $150/night in the off season and it’s a 2 minute walk to Eagle beach. We have 2 pools, grills, gym and an office. My car guy is $40/day all in. It would have cost you around $1k.

You’re doing Aruba wrong. We’re spending $1400 for both of us - Vrbo, flights, car rental, and airport parking

We go to Aruba every year. Your trip is insanely expensive! 😳 We are going next year for 3 weeks. Hotel is $3000 for 3 weeks. Don’t rent a car. Take the bus. It’s only $2.60 pp. get a room with a kitchen. Go grocery shopping at Super Food. Eat breakfast and lunch in your room. We spend about $400 for 3 weeks for breakfast, lunch and snacks. Aruba can be super affordable!

Aruba is the BEST! No need for all inclusive, too many great restaurants and bars to go to!

I’m staying at an all inclusive. I was worried that I should’ve did something different because I saw everyone getting an air bnb. I had to be real with myself and came to the conclusion I just wanted to get up and exist. I didn’t want to have to cook. I didn’t want to have to drive. I didn’t want to have to do anything but get in an elevator so all inclusive was the best for me. Also, looking at your price breakdown lets me know it’s around the same price.

We went to Aruba and stayed at the Divi phoenix and had a kitchen. That helps save money

Def don't rent a car in Aruba. Mostly everything is walkable and if not take a taxi.

A big cost saver is buy alcohol at the duty free when you get there buy some mixers and make your own drinks when you are on the beach all day

Honestly I feel like Aruba is very overrated and very expensive. Just went a few months back and we liked it but didn’t love it. I thought the interior of the island was really ugly actually. The coast was nice and the beaches were pretty but it was sooooo windy, it was hard to enjoy. Definitely prefer St John and St Thomas or even the DR. The one great thing is that Aruba felt incredibly safe and the people are all super friendly. If we go again, we’ll definitely do an AirBnB
