EXACTLY true Bill.
Different strokes for different folks.
We have a friend that is well traveled that was bored to tears when in aruba.
She could not find enough stuff to do to suit her needs.
She is not a beach fan or a pool fan or a gambler or a shopper or golfer.
She likes adventures that involve stuff like staying in hostels, taking a pony trek around the Irish countryside, backpacking way thru Greece, camping in Alaska and visiting South America (waaay south) etc.
She could not even admit that aruba was beautiful.
She did enjoy the water desalinization place tour
She referred to Aruba as a rock with beautiful turquoise water surrounding it.
So yes we all have different points of view but I am the first and foremost to be SHOCKED and in AWE when someone says aruba disappointed them.
The world would be boring place if we all agreed on everything.
Feel free to agree

Christmas & New Years Aboard the Queen Mary 2

We've been visitors to Aruba for the past 13 years...it is difficult to explain the exhilarating feeling when approaching the island from the air...and then actually experiencing the joy of walking along either Eagle or Palm Beach, view the magnificent Caribbean!! The turquoise waters...the white sand beaches. It's worth every penny!! We are TRUE ARUBAPHILES!!!

Next Aruba trip in

i agree. we just got back from staying at the Tamarjin. water was blue as can be and crystal clear. heck every where we went it was crystal clear.

heres a couple unaltered pics.

where we sat and ate breakfast everyday.

water down by the high rises where the jolly pirates pick you up.







i took these pictures from the jolly pirate ship. yes they are just rocks but thats about 15 feet of water they are under. i was amazed how clear the water was.

Maybe the title of this thread was for shock value! Look at the responses....
