Transportation to Barcelo Beach Resort

[Georgia_Peaches]

What is the best way to get from the cruise ship to Barcelo beach resort?  I'm assuming taxis are near the pier?  Have been to Aruba before but not by cruise ship.  

Thanks in advance.

Quickest?  Probably a taxi.  You can also take the local bus that’s just a couple dollars per person each way and you catch them right near the port, very short walk.

Do they have day passes available? How can it be booked and what's the cost? Just checked their website but didn't see anything.

We booked via Caribbean Day Pass linked by @topazz11.  It was cheaper than other sites.  My understanding is that you pay a $15 deposit pp (which we did) and they send you a confirmation which you then present to the resort guest check in desk.  At that time you pay the balance due and receive your wrist bands.  Please note, I haven't done this yet...this is just what I read...am hoping the info. is accurate bc we'll be there soon!
