Hi! This is my first time posting here.
I am going to Aruba with my husband in Nov. I am really excited and we are staying at the Tam. We do plan to eat out of the resort sometimes. I am wonderin...how do you know when viewing a menu online if the prices are in Florins or US dollars, or any other money? This would be really helpful when deciding where to eat. TIA! |

i agree it would be very helpul if the restaurants posted in large letters US DOLLARS or FLORINS
lots of times it is simply $20.00 (twenty dollars) 20.00 afl florins if prices look high on a menu (higher than what you expect) keep searching and you may be happy to find the afl notice. i would say that many, if not most tourist restaurants list their menu in us $$. andrea

I remember looking at Que Pasa's menu not that many years ago. The prices were too high so we didn't go there. Went to Rumba's instead. A few years later, I decided to go there anyway. Found out that their prices were in Aruban money. I told Peter (manager at the time) and said they had it that was as alot of their customers were Dutch and locals. Not they do have U.S. $. The only 2 restaurants that I can think of that show Aruban florins on their menu are Gostoso Portuguese Restaurant and B55 Restaurant.

As you are staying at the Tam, I would look at Windows on Aruba for a sunset dinner (it is enclosed & ac'd so for a night out of the wind) Classy, great food & service, and since you are staying at the Tam off their main menu $30pp also the golf cart will get you there, and they will call for a return pick-up. P.S. tell them your celebrating something for a free glass of bubbly!

Most of the "tourist" areas are in USD, if your not to sure always ask we are very nice in Aruba and would be happy to answer any of your questions. Keep in mind the exchange rate is adverage right now 1usd = 1.75 florin in most stores and resturants. That means 35florin = 20usd. Once your here you will get the hang of it no worries.
