Directions

What is road to take from the airport to Marriott Surf Club. We will be arriving about 9:00 PM and we get our car at the airport so it will be a late drive. From looking at google maps It looks like I should just take L.g. Smith Blvd all the way there.

Thanks

That is correct. You take a left leaving the airport onto L. G. Smith BLVD. This will take you toward Oranjestad, you pass through the town and continue on for another 6 miles to the Surf Club. Total trip is approximately 7.5 miles.
This is a very easy ride as for the most part you parallel the ocean and no matter what you do, it is a small island. At this time of night, you are looking at a pretty easy 15 minute ride once you departe the airport.

Have a great time, Pete!

As mentioned it is an easy drive.

If you have not driven in Aruba before remember that pedestrians have the right of way in town. They will walk out from any where to cross the street. Especially if there is a cruise ship in port.

As stated above,make a left out of the airport and take that road to the Surf Club.One of the advantages arriving at night you shouldn't caught any traffic downtown.Enjoy your vacation...

From the airport to the Marriott they are all left turns. But remember there are no turns on red.
