Anyone Ever Travel by Bus on Aruba?

[jbrambach]

I got a bus schedule from the visitaruba.com website and it says that the buses stop in front of the hotels. Does this also include Palm Beach? I was thinking about going to the beach in front of the Radisson. It also said that the price is $1.15 US, is this still correct? Are the buses reliable?

 

Any info would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi

 

We rode on the local bus last winter. It did stop at all the hotels on the

main strip. The bus station is directly across the main street from the

pier. The cost was VERY reasonable and you can also buy a pass. We

got off at the beach in front of the Radisson and walked down the beach

for a ways. There were many empty chairs and just sat on some to

wait to ask if we could rent the chairs. No one every came buy. Very

Nice Beach!!

Also thought the price was reasonable. Good to know that the bus terminal is across from the cruise ship pier. BTW, I read about a beach bar in from of the Radisson called kokao (something like that), did you happen to go there? If so any good?

 

Thanks

If you go down a little further to the Holiday Inn they have a lot of beach "toys" - Jet skis, etc. We usually get off there, and if you like Tony Romas, it's right across the street. Best ribs in town. Cathy

Was in Aruba last week, the bus terminal is right across the street to the right when you get out of the cruise ship terminal. You want bus line #10 hotel district and the fare is $2 round trip. You must tell them you want a roundtrip ticket!!!

We were there also 2 weeks ago and 5 weeks ago. The bus system is user friendly and stops just about everywhere. You can go to the beach at the Wyndham Resort it is fabulous. There are several public beaches on the route with bars and water toys and they are very nice also. For our fare it was $1.50 one way and $.50 for the transfer to make it round trip.

I have been to Aruba twice and used the public bus to travel the island. It was 2.00 round trip. Sundays the bus has a sightly differt schedule.

Does anyone know of any hotel/resort that will sell a day pass to cruisers?? We will be there 1/19/06

 

We've been there before and thought maybe a Hotel would be something to do.

 

Thanks for your help
