Aruba is one of the most BEAUTIFUL PLACES ON THE PLANET!!!! What makes it so beautiful is it nature and natural character!!!! No need for more building!!!! I absolutely love ARUBA!!! Thanks again for another great video Hyro !!!
I agree Stop the building. Aruba is special because it was different from the other over commercialized islands. Aruba is too small to keep building huge resorts.
Nice walk bro. I agree with you about building to many resorts. It takes away the charm of Aruba. And don't forget there are a lot of entitled loud mouth Americans that want to push locals from the beaches. It isn't right brother. Pagie and I love the Aruban people.
Thank you so much brother👍🏼 and also for your input on this sometimes delicate subject. Let's hope there will be a period that everything can be slowed down or stopped. From there evaluate what is better for all, especially our nature.
There is only 1 street that connects all of the hotels in Aruba (The high and low rise) so I believe that people are exaggerating that the entire island is being flattered with hotels. If complainers can bring an alternative that can equally boost the islands economy instead of just complaining for the sake of it, would have been wonderful. My humble opinion.
Great video. We’ve been coming to Aruba for 20 years. We chose the low rise area early on. Glad we did. The airport experience upon leaving is a nightmare. Your point about growth is well taken. It’s an island not an unlimited space. Politicians never make wise decisions 🤨. Infrastructure must grow with the construction. Water, electricity and wastewater disposal will be stretched to the limit. I hope the low rise area will never morph into high rise. Save Aruba from itself Hyro.
It is so great to see Marleen back with you on your walks. We keep watching your videos to remember our visit last December. Trying to plan another visit because we loved Aruba very much. We learned so much from your walks and were able to do many things we would not have known if it wasn't for you. Thank you very much. Keep it up so we can remember our vacation on the beautiful Aruba. We do agree with you that it should be at least slowed down with the new Hotels and resorts. We did enjoy meeting the two of you at the Bugaloe and hopefully can do this again.
It was a pleasure to meet you both at dinner last night. Thanks to your wonderful and informative videos we were able to enjoy a great dinner and atmosphere at Local Store. We've been here for 2 weeks and have had so many wonderful adventures, nearly all which were based on your previous video recommendations. Two more days here in paradise. Perhaps we'll cross paths again. Please keep up the great work. Thanks! Mike & Amanda
My parents first took me to Aruba in the late 60's when there were only a few hotels on the island. At that time we stayed at the Holiday Inn and fondly remember making friends in the pool with a boy from Venezuela. I have gone back with friends and family over 10x since then and am starting to worry about overdevelopment. I feel the island is about as developed as it should be. We always stay at the Blue Residences (the condos next to the new Embassy Suites) and loved hanging out with the locals at that small beach where you started your walk. I wonder how that will change now. Looking forward to going back for 2 weeks this August. Keep up the great walks.
Hi Marleen and Hyro. My husband and I first came to Aruba in 1974 for our honeymoon. We loved it then and still enjoy our vacations here on eagle beach. We however no longer like to go to the palm beach area and prefer the downtown or restaurants around the island. I’m writing this because I agree totally that the building of such large hotels will overcrowd the island and beaches. Where is everyone going to go to the beach? It really has to stop now.
We were shocked when we first saw this structure up a few years back. It looks so close to the Rui and like it is gonna crowd that area cause it is so close. I feel the same as you, that at some point you need to stop building hotels. Tourism is wonderful for any island or city, but it isn’t fun when it is just so crowded, that you can’t enjoy your time there and it can’t be fun for the locals. Hope this makes sense the way I am trying to explain myself. Thank you for another wonderful video of your island. May can’t come fast enough for us to be there. Hope this finds you both well.
Thanks for watching and for your input/opinion on this subject. Perhaps there is no perfect solution to it all but we definitely agree with the "getting overcrowded" part.
Thanks for your video. I am from Canada and travel to Aruba annually for extended stays. In My opinion there is too much construction of new hotels i think it is at the tipping point where Aruba is going to loose what attracts me to Aruba. The beaches will soon be over crowded, there will be very limited places for locals and renters to access beaches. Prices will make the island less affordable for the working class. As population goes up so does crime, which is evident now, its still very safe but too many tourists bring the drug trade which stems into other crimes. Again my opinion i think in 2 to 5 years it will change to the point where i may stop going. Also sewage / sewage treatment is maxed as evident by the smell by Ambassador, cabanna, blue Etc. Sad to see island getting too busy
Hello Andy, thank you so much for your opinion. You certainly touch on several issues that are of our own concern too. Let's hope more attention is dedicate on these issues in the coming times.
Another great vlog, I say Marleen keep the name. I agree about overbuilding, Low-rise, maybe ok. High rise, to many rooms, and to tall, were all trying to get away from looking at tall buildings like in cities. Looking forward to seeing you and Marleen in may.
Hi Marleen and Hyro, thank you for the video. Really beautiful resorts that increase the beauty and residence. Yes, Aruba with the golden beach and its amazing scenic print and beauty. Yes, charming Aruba through your photography of it. Thank you again for the video. Greetings to you and the people of Arubiano😊
My opinion is to halt the growth in the Eagle Beach, Palm Beach Areas. I don’t want the island to lose its charm. I question whether the infrastructure can handle more large resorts. If anything, development should revitalize St Nicholas and Savaneta. It has been my yearly destination for the last 12 years. My favorite spot is the low-rise area La Cabana /Eagle beach. TravelDutchie is a fun name, Marlene should keep it, especially if she already has a following.
Hello Debra, thank you so much for giving your opinion on this subject. Interesting you mention Sint Nicolas and Savaneta, two of the most unique areas imho. I like TravelDutchie too😊
U to r my favorite people. The Resort is huge. I would stay there one day. Everything in Aruba is great. The think Marleen should keep the Travel Dutchie name.
Would like to thank you and marleen walking videos and places of interest in Aruba. They were a great influence on us choosing to go to Aruba . We’re heading to Aruba on the 17th of March and staying for 2 weeks. Thanks again and hope to see more videos of the area and other places. David
I'm happy with what they did, the mangrove stayed, and instead of having the beach right in front of suites be not such a great beach because there is no space to lay on the beach or anything like that they instead have the beach a bit on the side. And YES! Marleen should 100% make a solo walk, I'd be interested to see what things she focuses on and thinks are interesting. That tunnel is quite extensive to cross under what's not even that big of a road. At first I didn't agree with you thinking that it might not be a great investment, but the tunnel seems way overbuilt for the needs.
Thank you for your opinion, yes I certainly hope the mangroves stay. It's a beautiful area (a favorite of mine). Will inform Marleen about the solo walk.
Our family has been coming to Aruba for about 10 years. We really enjoy the people and the island. I agree that over biulding will eventually spoil the appeal of the island as it will become overcrowded.
It makes me a bit sad to see these enormous buildings going up. One of the reasons I continue to come to Aruba is the tranquility and I fear Aruba will just become another average place. Busy, crowded, hard to navigate. Once it’s done, there’s no turning back.
Bet you never used or stayed in one of those "enormous buildings" either. Only room for you and yours, any more and it's too crowded. Take your hypocrisy elsewhere.
Thanks Hyro headed to Aruba in May and your videos have really been helpful and awesome. Keep up the great work it really helps those us that have never been there to appreciate Aruba and all that it has to offer.
I just love love love all your videos, with Marleen in particular. ❤️🙏🏻. So relaxing, inspiring, genuine… I miss Aruba, my happy place, I and can’t wait to be there in May.
Wow! I was just there in November and they were working it and the tunnel was blocked off. The beach you started on used to be hard packed down with rocks. I have walked from the Playa Linda many times along the water and in front of those mangroves when it wasn’t too mucky. Im glad to see a sidewalk was put in. And I have to agree with you, in my opinion, the Hyatt is the best place to stay on the island, outside of my beloved Playa Linda.
I love all your videos l have watched most from the last two years ❤I’m getting ready to go on vacation your videos have been very informative thank you ❤ l also wanted to say l feel your pain I have broken my toe it took about six months to heal very painful 😓
Ouch and double ouch, that is a long time, I hope you are feeling better🙏🏻 Thank you for the following and glad to know the videos have been helpful😊👍🏼Enjoy your trip to the max!
Hello Hyro, my family and I are long time viewers and regularly visit aruba we will be at the Barcelo 4th of July week and I have a superfan who'd love to meet you
Hello Ken, nice to hear from you and the family🤗 You will have a wonderful time at the Barcelo, maybe even with a chance to catch the fireworks on the beach on the day of your arrival. Let me know closer to the date, perhaps we could meet somewhere.
Hallo Marleen en Hyro het was weer een leuke wandeling lang het nieuwe hotel en naar het winkelcentrum we zullen het in november als we er weer zijn ook doen.Hyro beterschap met je teen Ajo Gerold en Ilona.
Such a beautiful video. I get that people don't want more hotels but what will happen in the future when all hotels on the island are fully booked? Remember the airport is expanding, new airlines will start flying to Aruba. Unless the island has petroleum or gold that it can rely on its own natural resources as a valid reason to stop development.
I would say to stop/slow development if these bigger hotels on the beach and instead develop some resorts inland of the island. There are many great neighborhoods around the island that must tourist never get to see. How about we build some 2-3 story resorts in the interior of the island to did find if the tourist love and money to the local area instead of being focused on the tourist areas. These parts can even it shuttle service to the more touristy areas for their guests, it's not like it takes long to get to the beaches from most places around the island anyways.
Enjoy your videos. We've been coming to Aruba since 2005 & it's changed a lot since then. We know folks at our resort (Costa Linda) that have been coming to Aruba for over 50 years & I enjoy hearing how Aruba was back then. I agree with you that the Govt. has to pause & think about the islands future and just not saturate the island with wall-to-wall buildings. On Marleen's channel, IMHO I think she should stick to the Travel Dutchie name - if she went with Let's Go with Marleen, it could be considered plagiarism.
Thank you for your message Joseph! Aruba of 40 to 50 years ago used to be very different. It was much more relaxed, less traffic and busy beaches. I have wonderful memories of growing up here.
Hi Hyro!! Can't wait to be in Aruba this coming Saturday and Sunday on the Celebrity Edge cruise ship. Hopefully, my wife and I will run into YOU and Marleen on our stop over it would be a pleasure and honor to meet both of you. 🛳🌴🍹
Hi Hyro!! My wife and I had wonderful time in Aruba! It's amazing how much Aruba has grown since the last time I was there. My wife and I will be back to Aruba around the same time next year on The Odyssey Of The Seas hopefully we'll be able to meet YOU and Marlene then.
Leuk om te zien hoe het geworden is bij de Embassy suites👌. Ik heb ze er aan zien werken toen we in nov '21 en okt '22 op Aruba waren. Heel apart die tunnel er naar toe. Dat zal niet gemakkelijk geweest zijn om te bouwen😅. Leuke video weer en beterschap met de voet💐
Weer een leuke wandeling. Het bouwen van mega hotels en appartementen mag wel stoppen wat mij betreft. Traveldutchie on Aruba zou ook kunnen. Zondag kom ik weer naar Aruba, zin in.
Nicevideo Hyro and Marlene but my opinion about new buildings will bring more peoples and more crimes ! What will happen with the garbages it is already à issue on the island. We came in Aruba in 2009 and what a big difference with today. Just thinking at babybeach with the new hotel Secret! Hope that the gouvernement will bring a mandatory about new buildings like hotels,condominiums! Jean-Noel
Let go with Marleen but in dutch witch translation Fan van het eerste uur dus ga er voor Marleen bijna buren geweest wijk bij duurstede dus lekker in nederlands
Great video! Do you have one of the Hilton Resort and Casino? I know you mentioned a Hilton you filmed in the past. Idk if it’s the same one? If you did, can you point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance ! I’ll be visiting this summer
I thought that the beaches in Aruba were public. The locals can still use the beach as long as they don't sit on the hotel's palapas. If they're Not paying customers. Vacationing in Aruba is Not cheap.
We just watched this new video of the Embassy Suites and it looks amazing. Love the convenience of the tunnel to the beach. We will be heading to Aruba later this year and staying at the Marriott Resort and Stellaris Casino. Have you done a video of that area of Palm Beach? Haven't been able to find one. Also our vote goes for "Let'sGoWithMarleen". 😊
I first visited in 2001 and don’t believe there were any resorts between Amsterdam Manor and the Rui. Can’t believe that area was approved for commercial building. Sad that the sanctuary is being crowded. The water treatment facility is being overwhelmed too. Plans for an upgrade will be good
Potentially traveling to the Embassy suites in a few months. I'm wondering if there have been any updates to that beach for Embassy suites? Chairs, umbrellas or any thing of that sort for those staying there?
@@LetsgowithHyroReally? it’s always the effin government! Make it a tourist friendly attraction the government makes more money don’t they? Simply crazy 😜
I think it’s easier to just run across the street. I got short of breath watching you walk through the tunnel. Also you never know who could be lurking in the tunnel.
Hey Hyro, we hebben 40 jaar geleden onze honeymoon gevierd op Aruba in het Concorde hotel (thans Riu hotel) op Palmbeach. Ik vind vooruitgang goed maar wat ik nu zie wat er allemaal gebouwd is op en rond Palm- en Eaglebeach vind ik persoonlijk erg. Aruba moet niet hetzelfde worden als Benidorm in Spanje. Veel hotels en appartementen, wat erg gewoon. Ik snap dat Amerikanen dol zijn op high rise hotels maar niet op deze wijze. Hoe groter de hotels hoe vervuilende ze zijn. Ik hoop dat de Arubaanse regering inziet dat het blijven bouwen van hotels en appartementen dit op den duur slecht is voor het milieu. 40 jaar geleden was Aruba nog authentiek. Nu is het Amerika/Miami in het klein. Probeer met de overige inwoners van Aruba het ongebreideld bouwen op Aruba te stoppen. Groet uit Nederland
Aruba is beautiful place, but this HUGE UGLY WALL called "Resort" is totally out of all common sense This is not the future, this a Cancun Hotel from the past, just a copy and paste with a really bad "make up" (copy and paste too) ... Next time think in the future, go beyond, be kind to the context and environment.
Lets go with Marleen is good but also with tranlation in here owen lunguage nederlands ga met Marleen Ga ervoor Marleen ben je eerst fan .en kom regelmatig in Aruba dus hopp jullie eens te ontmoeten

Thank you too John, we appreciate your kind words and opinion regarding this delicate issue😊 We hope to see you soon.
I agree Stop the building. Aruba is special because it was different from the other over commercialized islands. Aruba is too small to keep building huge resorts.
Thank you for your opinion Lupo, it's always good to know how you guys see/feel about things too.
@20:24 Buick Grand National, I love that car myself!
So cool to see it and it seemed like very well restored!
Nice walk bro. I agree with you about building to many resorts. It takes away the charm of Aruba. And don't forget there are a lot of entitled loud mouth Americans that want to push locals from the beaches. It isn't right brother. Pagie and I love the Aruban people.
Thank you so much brother👍🏼 and also for your input on this sometimes delicate subject. Let's hope there will be a period that everything can be slowed down or stopped. From there evaluate what is better for all, especially our nature.
Aaahh!....Just the sound of the waves lapping the shore at the beginning of the video calmed my nerves right away. Wish I was there with you.
We wish it too my friend, glad it helped☺️👍🏼
There is only 1 street that connects all of the hotels in Aruba (The high and low rise) so I believe that people are exaggerating that the entire island is being flattered with hotels.
If complainers can bring an alternative that can equally boost the islands economy instead of just complaining for the sake of it, would have been wonderful.
My humble opinion.
Thank you for your opinion :-) and I agree, if there is a stop there should also be a (good) plan to go along with it.
Great video. We’ve been coming to Aruba for 20 years. We chose the low rise area early on. Glad we did. The airport experience upon leaving is a nightmare. Your point about growth is well taken. It’s an island not an unlimited space. Politicians never make wise decisions 🤨. Infrastructure must grow with the construction. Water, electricity and wastewater disposal will be stretched to the limit. I hope the low rise area will never morph into high rise. Save Aruba from itself Hyro.

Agreed. Unrestricted development will inevitably damage our One Happy Island.
Thank you for your input John!
It was a pleasure to meet you both at dinner last night. Thanks to your wonderful and informative videos we were able to enjoy a great dinner and atmosphere at Local Store. We've been here for 2 weeks and have had so many wonderful adventures, nearly all which were based on your previous video recommendations. Two more days here in paradise. Perhaps we'll cross paths again. Please keep up the great work. Thanks! Mike & Amanda
So nice to meet you too, hope to see you again next time!
The reason for these constructions are that the permits to construct these resorts has been given quiet some years ago.
Correct!
Wonderful walk! I vote for Let’s Go with Marlene
Thanks🙌🏼😊
So glad to hear you recommend the Hyatt that’s where I’m staying ☺️
Oh cool, what a coincidence!
My parents first took me to Aruba in the late 60's when there were only a few hotels on the island.

Excellent tour ..thank you Hyro & Marleen. Hope to see you around in a couple of weeks .
We hope so too, thanks for passing by🙌🏼
Thanks for your video. I am from Canada and travel to Aruba annually for extended stays. In My opinion there is too much construction of new hotels i think it is at the tipping point where Aruba is going to loose what attracts me to Aruba. The beaches will soon be over crowded, there will be very limited places for locals and renters to access beaches. Prices will make the island less affordable for the working class. As population goes up so does crime, which is evident now, its still very safe but too many tourists bring the drug trade which stems into other crimes. Again my opinion i think in 2 to 5 years it will change to the point where i may stop going. Also sewage / sewage treatment is maxed as evident by the smell by Ambassador, cabanna, blue Etc. Sad to see island getting too busy
I agree with you.
Hello Andy, thank you so much for your opinion. You certainly touch on several issues that are of our own concern too. Let's hope more attention is dedicate on these issues in the coming times.
Another great vlog, I say Marleen keep the name. I agree about overbuilding, Low-rise, maybe ok. High rise, to many rooms, and to tall, were all trying to get away from looking at tall buildings like in cities. Looking forward to seeing you and Marleen in may.
Hello Chris, thank you so much for your opinion on this subject☀️👍🏼See you soon!
It’d be fun to watch a “Marleen walk” - love to get her perspective on my “home away from home “

Indeed....I heard from Marleen that it was❄️over there😏

I get that people don't want more hotels but what will happen in the future when all hotels on the island are fully booked? Remember the airport is expanding, new airlines will start flying to Aruba. Unless the island has petroleum or gold that it can rely on its own natural resources as a valid reason to stop development.
Valid arguments Niels! Perhaps there can be a better balance of things plus ways to keep things clean and organized. Thanks for the input.
I would say to stop/slow development if these bigger hotels on the beach and instead develop some resorts inland of the island.
There are many great neighborhoods around the island that must tourist never get to see.

Hi Hyro!!
Can't wait to be in Aruba this coming Saturday and Sunday on the Celebrity Edge cruise ship. Hopefully, my wife and I will run into YOU and Marleen on our stop over it would be a pleasure and honor to meet both of you. 🛳🌴🍹
Sorry we missed you guys but we did drive past the Edge quite a few times last weekend. Hope you had a wonderful time!
Hi Hyro!!
My wife and I had wonderful time in Aruba! It's amazing how much Aruba has grown since the last time I was there. My wife and I will be back to Aruba around the same time next year on The Odyssey Of The Seas hopefully we'll be able to meet YOU and Marlene then.
and again a nice informative vlog and i look forward that marleen do the vlog
Happy to know 🙂 you thought so. I'm going to try and convince Marleen😊

Weer een leuke wandeling. Het bouwen van mega hotels en appartementen mag wel stoppen wat mij betreft.
Traveldutchie on Aruba zou ook kunnen.
Zondag kom ik weer naar Aruba, zin in.
Welkom ☀️🏝️ Joke en dank je wel voor je mening👍🏼😊
Nicevideo Hyro and Marlene but my opinion about new buildings will bring more peoples and more crimes !
What will happen with the garbages it is already à issue on the island.
We came in Aruba in 2009 and what a big difference with today.
Just thinking at babybeach with the new hotel Secret!
Hope that the gouvernement will bring a mandatory about new buildings like hotels,condominiums!

Hello Jean, thanks for your opinion and input. They are certainly issues that need to be dealt with every new construction.
Was jut at the Embassy beach - nice but rocky as you walk out
Yes, it is rocky in the water but some areas are better.
Let go with Marleen but in dutch witch translation
Fan van het eerste uur dus ga er voor Marleen bijna buren geweest wijk bij duurstede dus lekker in nederlands
Hallo Ruud, thank you for the following! Ik ga zeker aan Marleen vertellen.
Great video! Do you have one of the Hilton Resort and Casino? I know you mentioned a Hilton you filmed in the past. Idk if it’s the same one? If you did, can you point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance ! I’ll be visiting this summer
Thanks, ck this one: th-cam.com/video/lzfheJ0Qay0/w-d-xo.html
Hello Hyro
Wonder what the Atlantic seaweed bloom status is at Aruba currently and long term ?
Back in beginning of May
Please advise
Hyro
Mr. Weatherman says blob is at Aruba - what are you seeing ?
Hello Scott, be pending of a video later today.
Another great video, thank you! By all means Marleen should do a solo walk
Thanks :-) will inform!
I thought that the beaches in Aruba were public. The locals can still use the beach as long as they don't sit on the hotel's palapas. If they're Not paying customers.
Vacationing in Aruba is Not cheap.
Correct, they are public.
We just watched this new video of the Embassy Suites and it looks amazing. Love the convenience of the tunnel to the beach.
We will be heading to Aruba later this year and staying at the Marriott Resort and Stellaris Casino. Have you done a video of that area of Palm Beach? Haven't been able to find one. Also our vote goes for "Let'sGoWithMarleen". 😊
Hello Glenn, glad you liked this video! Yes I do have of that area too but it's been a few months. Look for one about 4 months ago.
@@LetsgowithHyro Found it. Not sure how I missed it? 🤔Thanks Hyro.
I first visited in 2001 and don’t believe there were any resorts between Amsterdam Manor and the Rui. Can’t believe that area was approved for commercial building. Sad that the sanctuary is being crowded. The water treatment facility is being overwhelmed too. Plans for an upgrade will be good
Hello Jim, I think the Divi Phoenix may have already been there but notting else. It's unfortunate so much construction was approved around this area😏
Thanks Hyro
Tell Marnie to keep her ytube name. And so sad we couldn't have seen you guys while we were there 2weeks ago.
Sorry we missed each other 😊 thanks for watching!
I'm dumbfounded by this tunnel. Why?? They built a 3 mile long tunnel to bypass a 20 ft street to cross? No one's going to use it.
I'm not sure unless it's part of a bigger plan we are aware of as of yet. We did notice though that it gives you acces directly from the pool area.
I'd love to see a video of the Boardwalk Boutique hotel! We're staying there in June and it looks gorgeous.
We'll keep trying to film there :-)
@@LetsgowithHyro awe yay, thank you! It looks beautiful
Potentially traveling to the Embassy suites in a few months. I'm wondering if there have been any updates to that beach for Embassy suites? Chairs, umbrellas or any thing of that sort for those staying there?
Will try to have an update in the coming weeks. As of right now there is still none because of a dispute with the Government.
@@LetsgowithHyroReally? it’s always the effin government! Make it a tourist friendly attraction the government makes more money don’t they? Simply crazy 😜
@@LetsgowithHyro oh and by the way thank you for doing these videos for all of us tourists 🏖️
😊😊Like :259
🙌🏼😊
I think it’s easier to just run across the street. I got short of breath watching you walk through the tunnel. Also you never know who could be lurking in the tunnel.
It's easier to cross the street, we agree.
Can you do a video on the construction at the Hilton?
Hello Sophia, will try to.
Hey Hyro, we hebben 40 jaar geleden onze honeymoon gevierd op Aruba in het Concorde hotel (thans Riu hotel) op Palmbeach. Ik vind vooruitgang goed maar wat ik nu zie wat er allemaal gebouwd is op en rond Palm- en Eaglebeach vind ik persoonlijk erg. Aruba moet niet hetzelfde worden als Benidorm in Spanje. Veel hotels en appartementen, wat erg gewoon. Ik snap dat Amerikanen dol zijn op high rise hotels maar niet op deze wijze. Hoe groter de hotels hoe vervuilende ze zijn. Ik hoop dat de Arubaanse regering inziet dat het blijven bouwen van hotels en appartementen dit op den duur slecht is voor het milieu. 40 jaar geleden was Aruba nog authentiek. Nu is het Amerika/Miami in het klein. Probeer met de overige inwoners van Aruba het ongebreideld bouwen op Aruba te stoppen. Groet uit Nederland
Hallo, ja wij de locals beseffen dit wel en we zijn idd op een punt waar het echt moet stoppen. Groetjes en goed om van U te horen.
Hello guys.is it true that they are going to build a iberostar hotel in eagle beach?
Hello Noel, yes that is what I've heard.
hyro is it possible to make a vlog about the riu palace aruba?
Hello Rob, it's not an easy one to do because of the permits etc. but if the opportunity arises I definitely will🙌🏼
New hotel is going to over crowd an already over crowded palm beach… plus the Hilton in expanding just a property over…. Sad..
I hear you, thank you for your input.
Nice! Thank you for this video, beautiful resort it is! Hope you will soon have happy feet again ;-)
Thanks Coen, my feet is feeling better but far from 100%☺️ Hopefully it will continue to improve this week😅🙏🏻
Aruba is beautiful place, but this HUGE UGLY WALL called "Resort" is totally out of all common sense This is not the future, this a Cancun Hotel from the past, just a copy and paste with a really bad "make up" (copy and paste too) ... Next time think in the future, go beyond, be kind to the context and environment.
Lets go with Marleen is good but also with tranlation in here owen lunguage nederlands ga met Marleen
Ga ervoor Marleen ben je eerst fan .en kom regelmatig in Aruba dus hopp jullie eens te ontmoeten
Danki Ruud, we hopen het ook☀️🏝️🙌🏼
Thank you for your opinion😊
