I have never heard about the roaches and rats, it is nature, they are most likely there. AND yes there are bats.
FWIW, there are also rattle snakes in Arikok National Park.

The caves are worth a visit, but Guadirikiri Cave is not for anyone with respiratory issues. The temperature inside is unbearable. Think Aruba heat with 105% humidity and no wind.
Imo, for overall features, Guadirikiri Cave is the best on the island.

On top of the humidity/heat in the cave, the further in you go the more the ammonia smell hits you...next thing you know....Bats, bats and more bats....cute little buggers.....

Me personally i'd pass.....beach only...no caves for me...

Yeah, but when you are excited about visiting the island the first time,

you think you must go and see EVERYTHING !!!!! I have since learned that everything means the beach, the bar, the pool, the beach, the bar, the pool........

We have been to Aruba several times and have yet to investigate the caves. I know its on our list possible things to do this time, but maybe we will just stick to the beaches.
