Vacation tips for your stay on Aruba in Villa San Miguel
Enjoy your vacation in Villa San Miguel and Aruba:
In May 2011 the island was named 2nd best travel destination of the entire Caribbean of 25 islands, where Curacao scored a 25th place! The population is above all very friendly. The crime rate is relatively low, there is little political unrest and the island isn’t affected much by hurricanes!
And those beaches, glorious white beaches, draped with palm trees, lovely clear water in the typical Caribbean blue color, free access to all beaches, no parking fees, what a luxury, what freedom!
And what about snorkeling and (scuba)diving!
All over the island there are perfect restaurants for all tastes; Dutch, Aruban, American etc. etc. Situated at romantic places or even on the beach, or in the very lively American tourist centers, the port in Oranjestad or just downtown.
Compared to all of this the location of San Miguel Villa is ideal: walking distance from Eagle Beach, one of the most beautiful and tranquil white beaches, but also just half a mile of a vibrant American tourist area, the so-called High Rise, which includes Mambo Beach. Oranjestad, with all its colorful shops, casinos and moored cruise ships is just 10 minutes by car. The airport is 15 minutes by car.
You need groceries? The largest supermarket in Aruba, which includes all known Dutch products, is 300 meters from your vacation villa.
Transportation:
We have experienced that a car on Aruba a recommended means of transport. Although there are plenty of buses, a bus stop is 50 meters from the villa, the buses are not on time and have little comfort.
All major car rental companies are present on Aruba, also at the airport. Reservations are highly recommended. Our Management and Rental Office can also arrange this for you. If you wish this, then please ask for the possibilities when booking.
Travel:
Several airlines fly from North America to Aruba, like United Airlines, US Airways, Air Canada & Delta Air Lines.
When you arrive on Aruba:
Our website has comprehensive directions from the airport to your accomodation, assuming that you have rented a car or that the rental company picks you up at the airport as is customary. (Of course there are plenty of taxis available at the airport.)
