Hi Guys,

We just came back from Rogers Beach, was our fav beach, we been there in 2007/8/9, we skipped a year last year, and came back to Aruba this year. We are in shock, what a mess, last time Coco's was already clossed, but now the building is also demolished, but the rubble is still there. A ruin. The beach is a mess, lots of rubble, plasic b...a...ggs and all kinds of junk. And for the first time we could smell the petrol in the sea!

Lucky for us the rest of Aruba is Super!!!, the people are super friendly, the food is great and the new Balashi is awesome!!

Greetings from Catashi (near Santa Cruz)

We know how you feel. It was such a nice beach.

When we were there in January the building was flattened but the beach area was in good shape. It was clean and looked like it was being looked after. I wonder if was a mess because of the Easter weekend parties?
