Most if not all resorts have in room safes.
At the Tamarijn there is a charge of $2 per day, well with it for the piece of mind.

VACATION VAULT (what do i do w/ my stuff?)
Aruba lovers. Many of us have concerns as to what to do with our "stuff" when we go to the beach, snorkeling, off roading etc in Aruba. (cameras, ipods, wallets, sunglasses to name a few) We had a discussion on this board in the earlier part of the summer and one of the things that was mentioned was about the " vacation vault". They will be available to purchase or to rent within a few weeks. The first units for sale/rental should be on the island in a couple of weeks. Obviously with shipping, handling and local retail markup the price will appear to be a little higher in Aruba, but when taking into account shipping charges in the US and Canada, it evens out. The suggested Aruban retail is $38.50. At present they are selecting key retail outlets to handle direct customer sales. In the interim, there is an email address for interested parties to get more info. All they need to do is email and brochure will be sent by pdf attachment. The email address is vaults@solpalmas.com All inquiries will be answered. andrea

I used the Travel Safe on my trip last week. Overall I would say it is worth it. It is not too big but can easily fit 2 normal sized digital cameras, cash, credit cards etc. It is a little tricky to get it locked at first but after you do it a few times it is pretty easy to get the hang of. I think it would be better if the lock was a combination lock instead of the key though because you still need to take the key with you. I either put the key in my waterproof pouch when we went in the water or left it in a zipped pocket in our beach bag which was on one chair and had the Travel Safe locked to another chair covered by a towel. Not perfect but it would take some time for a potential thief to see the safe, rummage through the beach bag, find the key and unlock the safe. Not that I have ever really worried about theft but the extra peace of mind was kind of nice.

who knows if thieves are lurking about. one always hears about snatch and grabs. if one can take the time to make a snatch and grab not so quick it will give the thief reason to move on to someone else, whose stuff is not secure.
there is petty crime everywhere. here on this forum we try to recommend that folks be proactive in protecting themselves. Quote:
