Might as well take a look at the Holiday Inn on Palm Beach, Aruba, DWI. The lobby was recently renovated as well as some other improvements. Here’s a quick video taken with my iPhone.
I’ll keep these quick vids coming. A few “local” things on the way. Stay tuned.
Staying at Hacienda Zorita is like having your own country estate. The hotel grounds extend from river to field to a complex of buildings that was once a convent.

There are several different types of rooms, including suites and villas that give you even more privacy. I stayed in a standard room, which you see next:

A spacious bathroom made this room even more comfortable.

There was also a terrace where you could relax in the sun or the shade, depending upon the time of day.

Also in the main building, you’ll find several comfortable lounges such as this one:

And a small bar for a glass of sherry or other beverage of your choice:

Back outside, you’ll find two swimming pools like this one:

And finally, there is a wonderful restaurant on site where we enjoyed a delicious chef’s menu.

Hacienda Zorita is located about 20 minutes driving from Salamanca, yet it feels like you are a world away. For business or pleasure, you’ll be away from it all here while still being close to enough to what you want.
The Hyatt in Aruba features a very nice swimming pool complex. That may be an understatement. Check out the view from above:

On a day like this one, being in the pool is one of the great pleasures of vacation life. There is a juice bar and a regular bar for refreshments and snacks, both only a few steps away. Hyatt does it well in Aruba.
Zeerover’s fisherman’s wharf is in Savaneta, Aruba, DWI. This is the kind of place that hasn’t changed much in the past fifty years. Here the daily catch comes in, and if you like, they’ll fry it up for you while you wait. Then you can have a seat, an ice-cold drink, and gaze upon the Caribbean while you eat. There’s also a pool table if you like the challenge. Here’s a video that shows you how to get there from the main highway, heading south. Then there’s a look inside.
During your visit to Aruba, take the time to stop in to Zeerover’s and as many of the other local joints as you can. It’ll add a new dimension to your vacation. Bon dia.
