Who is the aloe man? Hay, you can always go to the actual plant where they make the aloe products. Pretty cool, fast and interesting. I haven't heard of the aloe man, what does he do??

What a great guy! Aruba would not be Aruba without him! Though I think you have to hang out at Palm Beach to insure meeting him.

Yes, the Aloe Man is wonderful, and quite friendly. I always get a kick out of seeing what kind of outfit he will be wearing!!! It can be quite comical sometimes (like when his shorts were "air-conditioned" in the back and he didn't know it!!). The aloe is made at his house evidently and he sells it for $10 a bottle. It smells pretty funky to me, but I know people who have used it and they say it is absolutely wonderful (it's like tequila to me....if you can get it past your nose, it's all downhill from there!) You can definitely hear him coming on Palm beach, usually between 1-2 every afternoon.....Aloe Man, Aloe Man here....Aloe for your sunburn....good for stomach aches, diarrhea, impotence, etc...!!! I was down there for my birthday in Feb. on my 9th trip and he remembered by "special day" by bringing me a pair of flamingo pink sunglasses studded with rhinestones!!!! (just like something he would wear!). I thought that was very thoughtful of him. Anyway, look for him and be sure to get a pic with him, as he's truly an Aruba original!!!

in the few times we have stayed in the palm beach area we have seen him.....smelled his product and were grossed out.
he is a character and very very sociable. andrea Quote:

He is a character and everyone loves seeing him stroll along the beach. You should see him on Christmas day, full beard and all!
