how far is the shopping mall from Holiday
Inn Sunspree Hotel or does this resort have shopping?

All the hotels including the HI have some stores but for serious shopping you can take a cab or a bus downtown where there are two large malls on one side of the street, a smaller one on the water side and tons of other stores as well.

depends what you want grocery stores are a bus, taxi or car ride, rent a car it is not expensive and it is an easy island to drive. Downtown Aruba is nice but closes early. Restaurants are all over the island making a car a good otem to have. Rentasla re easy try ECNO.com

Several stores in the Holiday Inn and the other high rise hotels except for the Aruba Grand.
