Fact of the matter is that Arubans also love the american chains. I myself love Starbucks and would like to have a Starbucks in Aruba. People often say that Aruba is too developed and to Americanized. Well I believe that when you cruise through Aruba and go and explore the rough side of Aruba you discover the REAL Aruba. Approximately 38% of Aruba is not developed or not built on. Only the downtown and hotel area are developed.

It is always nice to hear the perspective of a "local" on the issues. I do not doubt for one moment that you are correct. Who am I as a guest to dictate what businesses you should have on your island?
When it gets overcrowded though I think we'll both be looking at each other, scratching our heads saying, "how did it ever get this way?" 
People talk about Bonaire and parts of Curacao being like Aruba was years ago, but a lot of tourists will not go to Bonaire because there is just "not enough there or it is too quiet". Can't have it both ways can we?
