What to do in Aruba for cheap?
(Sorry if this is in the wrong section)
Like the title says, I want to find out if Aruba is friendly to the cheap folks. haha. I got free plane tickets here but I am not rich and am wondering if it is still fun for the tight wads. |

Restaurants Inexpensive
www.aruba.com/forum/tags/restaurants%20inexpensive.html Imo, you could get a lot of bang for your buck spending the day at Arikok National Park and hiking and taking in the scenery. Entrance fee is nominal. Where are you staying and will you have a kitchen or refrigerator?

We haven't decided anything yet really. I found an old thread on the forum about cheap food. What about places to stay? My friends and I don't really need real nice, I'm think we're gonna be spending most of our time chilling on the beach. Oh, another thing. I can only speak English, guess I'll be learning some Papiamento phrases. |

Imo look for a timeshare rental. You will have a kitchen to prepare your own food and thus save money. There are a wide variety of resorts in every price range so you could work within a budget.
Grocery Questions This will hopefully answer some of your preliminary questions on grocery store pricing and availability of items. English is WIDELY spoken and the US Dollar is accepted everywhere. No need to worry about either one. If you did wish to give Papiamento a shot, here are some common phrases and greetings http://www.aruba.com/explorearuba/culture/language.aspx
