I'm thinking about sneaking down to Aruba for a few nights while the wife is on a business trip. I have family that work for the airlines so my main expense will be a Hotel room. Since I will be coming by myself I'm really not concerned about how fancy my hotel or room will be. I mainly want to relax eat at Iguana Joes a couple times and do some snorkeling and maybe get in a few dives. I don't normally mind spending money on nice hotels but the wife would have a fit if I spent 250.00 a night on a hotel while she's stuck working. I was hoping to find a decent economy lodge close to a beach for under 100.00 per night. I realize the resorts are going to be more but I can't find any budget lodging. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I don't want to rent a car, so I would prefer something close by a nice beach. Any help would be appreciated.

There is no "budget lodging" in aruba....this isn't the states you know!

Debbie, that is NOT true.

David, stay at MVC Eagle Beach. It's next door to Chalet Suisse. I small quaint place that is mostly dutch. Here is their website.

Hello,
What are the dates you are looking for? I have a nice 1 bedroom unit at LaQuinta-week 19-May 13th to 20th available to rent. Looking to cover maintance fees.

I have stayed at the sasaki apartments and they were really cute! Near Lacabana and not too far from anything. I think it is www.sasaki.com and it is very affordable!

I actually have a couple of suggestions for you:

Quality Apartments (011-297-582-0697)
Raspberry Courtyards (raspberryaruba.com)
Aruba Sunflower (arubasunflower.com)

They are all very nice, very clean and very reasonably priced. Good Luck!

Have you stayed at the sunflower? I believe we may stay there for a few days in April. Any info is appreciated.
