Oh, it's a long walk and not for everybody. Nobody wants to walk like that on vacation when a taxi should be able to take you. I was mostly joking but maybe would walk if I wanted to go bad enough and felt up to it. I have issues with my foot, so most likely not. I just can't believe you couldn't get a taxi to take you. Hopefully we will have better luck if we decide to go.

Well that is a little ridiculous. they should take you where you want to go. I would have walked at that point, lol. It's about a mile and half from the cruise port. I think they just wanted more money, since that was such a short distance.

Thank you so much for your input. Eagle beach seems like the most beautiful beach, but I have read some negative reviews about Coco Loco as well, which made me question going there. And I think you are right about Moomba being packed that day we are going to be there. I have seen some posts about Passions on Eagle Beach, but I feel like it is very expensive and we didn't love it one time we went to their bar. So I think those are our only options at Eagle beach unless there are other options I am not aware of, which is why I asked for advice. I do think Reflexions is our best option. I did see in pictures that the sea grass is a little further out at Reflexions than Surfside beach club. We went there last year and there was only a very small area to actually get in the water at surfside beach club. Thanks again for your input.

We are looking for a really good restaurant not too far from cruise port with excellent food/chef. Would also like a great view or at least a good atmosphere with outdoor dining. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

We are looking for a relaxing day in Aruba at a nice beach club or bar/restaurant with chair and umbrella rentals. I am very interested in Reflexions as this is the most like what we are looking for. My only hesitation is that the beach and water are not at nice as Eagle Beach, Palm beach or Arashi beach. The last time we were at Arashi Beach it was very crowded and my husband had no desire to go there. We do not like major crowds at beaches. We would like to go somewhere quiet that has a bar/restaurant and chair and umbrella rentals. Besides Reflexions and Arashi beach shack, I am only seeing Moomba beach bar on Palm beach. Are there any places on Eagle Beach that offer palapa rentals or chair and umbrella rentals and have a beach bar/restaurant with good food and drinks that are reasonably priced? I do like the idea of the small pool and swim up bar at Reflexions. The only reason I am looking for some other suggestions is the limited sandy area in the water due to sea grass and Eagle beach being more beautiful. I want Reflexions but on Eagle Beach, lol, and I don't think there is anything like that there. But I would like some suggestions from people of have done just this, either at Reflexions or somewhere else. We will be there on the Wednesday before Memorial day, and there will be a music festival in Aruba starting the night we are there, which will make it even more crowded most likely. Also something to think about.
