>>> "ATMs are as conveniently located in aruba as they are here in the usa"
----- Would not go that far. Some resorts do not have them. Casinos charge a fee. State where you are staying and someone may know the best/closest ATM to your resort.

There is an ATM across the street from Pasio Mall in the area of Dushi Bagel. Reasonable fees.

when one wants to make a withdrawal, one is given a chioce to have Aruban Florins or US Dollars.
the fee is nominal i think when we hit up the ATM the fee was $2 per transaction

from liz aruba lover

Cash machines in Casinos charge high fees in Casinos not ATM's. Cash machines you withdraw $$ from your credit card, not checking or savings. The credit card company starts charging interest (which is very high) from the day you withdraw the cash. Some Casinos you will see both a ATM and a Cash machine next to each other.

also let your bank know in the states that your coming to Aruba so they dont freeze you account thinking its fraud. Also check to see what your banksfees are because alot charge international user fees.

My Suggestion

My suggestion is that you only use ATM's located inside the banks. I know that this is not always convenient but it is much harder to install card readers on the inside bank machines. I would not use a debit card at any retail establishment. I use my credit card for everything and pay it off as soon as it posts to my account. I also monitor my account daily to check for any fraudulent activity. So far, so good.
