Carlos N Charlis is a great place to go to . Thay do NOT force you to drink anything! Just as it is in any bar or any club, you need to know your own limits. If you don't know how to drink responsibily, don't drink at all! Nobody is runnung around pouring alcohol down your throat! You have to go to the bar to drink, and you need a VALID id stating you are 18 or older!There is also Bahia which is right next door, choose a name across the street, Mambo Jambo and Euphoria. They are all right in downtown. I have been going to Aruba now for 8 years, been 11 times and just returned from a solo trip a couple of weeks ago. As you would in any club or any city, just watch your surroundings. As everyone else, I am praying for the safe return of Natalee, but the bashing of Carlos N Charlies and the locals needs to stop! I would never go alone, nor would my family feel it was safe enough if it was any other island. Carlos N Charlies was and will always be one of my favorite places to go to. And th Aruban locals will remain to be some of my closet friends. Have a great time, and just be careful, thats all!
