i am going to copy this and post it on the apartments category and maybe there will be some feedback from that category too..

i encourage you to go thru this site and see the activities section and the getting around aruba section.

there you will see loads of activities about shore snorkeling sites that are free, places to explore over on the rough side of the island and there will be talk of car rentals and bus routes etc...

all of the beaches are FREE
at the beaches, the shade huts/lounges and chairs are supplied by the resorts for their guests.

safe for female.
yes with caution.
use the same care you would at home with door locking, car travels and leaving things locked in trunk out of site, being alone late at night in undesirable AND desirable locations.

i could go on and on, but i encourage you to scope arond the forum and read up.

you will be amazed at what you will find.

take plenty of time and read the posts.

I have been trying to find out what is the average monthly electric/water/gas bill for one person. This is very hard to find. Is it safe for a single female? What would be the best area on the islands to stay? What activities do people that are retired, residents, citizens enjoy. Are there activities that people can enjoy without having to spend money everyday as if they were tourists - example, sight-seeing, beaches.....? Would it be better for me to try to rent a room, or just stay with long-term rentals? Thanks.
