welcome to the forum!!

$11 is the one way cab fare
10 minute ride or less

yes there are a couple of malls up in the palm beach are....plenty of shopping!

the cabs will be lined up once you disembark your ship.

ask to get off at the playa linda or the hyatt

Thanks , and. Is There all hotels there too alwhich is better to get off at out of those two?

[Andrea J.]

either one
when you get there, you will be inundated with shopping choices as well as many restaurants

sounds fab, going to go there in morning i think as sometimes clouds over in afternoon, then shop in oranjestad afternoon :d

many of the stores in somee of the palm beach malls do not open until evening. plenty of shopping within walking distance of the ships

Yes we fancied both palm beach morning oranjested afternoon , renassince
Mall is opposite the port isnt it? Plus where about is the hard rock cafe on palm beach that will be open wont it where should i get off for that? Thanks

[Andrea J.]

yes renaissance mall is across from the port.

hard rock is on the side of the street (perpendicular side street) from the hotels.
as you walk around the palm beach/hi rise area, the hotels/resorts will be on one side of the street and all of the shopping/restaurants across.

going to look around to find a map and i will come back and link it on this post.

scroll down to HI RISE
to PASEO HERENCIA and click
and then click the map on the left to enlarge.
it will give you a better picture of the area
