We're going back to the Divi for the seventh time in april and love it there. A few years ago when we went there was a line of shells that was in the water about 4 feet out. It was about 3 feet wide and running the full length of the beach. We had to go buy water shoes in order to go in the water. It was not there the last 2 years and I'm wondering if anyone has come across this problem this year? Just can't wait to get back there!!! Kathy.

hi! can u give me an insider's look into the divi resort? my family, another family, and a total of 11 teenagers (8 of us are eighteen y/o.)we will be there the first week of april for spring break. this is all of ours' first times in aruba...we are all so excited!!! any tips on what to do would be awesome!! when are you going? do you have any teenagers??? well, any info. would be awesome.. later, kelsay

There were no shells there last October.

This is in answer to Kelsay:
We will also be there first week in April. It's just the 2 of us this year although we have gone with friends some years...all of these are friends that we met at the Divi the first year we were there. As a matter of fact, we got together this past weekend, so our friendship has extended far beyond our Aruba days. Anyway, we started going after our kids were grown, so we no longer have teens. There are lots of tours you can do. We loved the snorkeling tour on the Mi Dushi which is a catamaran. We have taken van tours (not sure they still have them) of the island. We didn't want to do jeep tours because of the heat, but I know many people who really enjoy them. Horseback tours are also available. The Divi has nightly entertainment (some good, some not so good), but if you want a night out for dinner, our favorite place is Madame Janette's. Breakfast and lunch at the Divi are fine; dinners are so-so. Used to be much better. We still like to go tothe Red Parrot because we like the sit down dinner; Paparazzi at Tam is ok and we may go there once. But we love the people at the Divi and the relaxed atmosphere there. Open lobby, bathing suits fine. Bathing suit with cover up for breakfast and lunch. Great beach with good wave. Main pool is usually busy with lots of activities happening there. People of all ages too. Well, I hope this helps and maybe we'll see you there. If I see a group that may be yours, I'll stop and ask for Kelsay...

This past September there were "hundreds" of "Sand Dollars"- we bleached them and brought some home!! In May we do not see very many shells...it really depends on the tide and (storms)...it's kind of a 50/50 thing...hopefully this will be your year!!
Have fun !!

Kathy...Just came back two weeks ago...the beach was very clean nothing to worry about
go and have a great time

Hi Leenie,
What beach did you find the sand dollars? I was also wondering where the best place to find shells would be. I am going back in October and would like to start collecting!
Thanks,
Kris
