Outlet store

[. We shop at their outlet store on the island right where the aloe grows, and are very satisfied with everything. They also have great gift items.[/quote]

Where is the outlet store?

This takes a moment to download. The directions are on the second page. You do not have to take the tour to shop in the store.

Thank you for all of your product suggestions. It sounds like I'll need an extra suitcase to bring home Aruba Aloe! LOL...

My wife found a coupon in something on island where the tour fee was $5.00 and you got a $5.00 credit at the store so it was a wash. The tour was short and somewhat informative but once should last a lifetime, do it if you find the coupon, otherwise just do the store.

and the shower gel.
Andrea, that is pretty cool....I have heard it has the ability to cure stomach ailments as well as a few other things, but have never heard of anyone that actually uses it...they tell you all that stuff at the factory, but you really don't belive it, just figure it is marketing....I have however tried the candy and it is very tasty !!!!

Hands down favorite is their After Sun Skin Repair! Brought home 5 bottles this year - LOL! Great suntan lotion, lip balm, special care lotion, too. The outlet is a nice store but we buy it at Ling & Sons for less.

Thanks for confirming that. We were not sure, but compared with the $9.95 charged at the resort for the shampoo and conditioner, we were happy anyway.

Here is what we paid 6/27 at Kong Hing Supercenter

All prices in USD

$4.71 Shampoo 9 oz.
$4.71 Conditioner 9 oz.
$6.13 Special care lotion 9 oz.
$5.46 Refreshing bath gel 9 oz.
