Mobile internet setup

Setar or Digicel broadband in a modern condo, plus mobile hotspot backup

The exact building matters more than the neighborhood; ask for a current speed test from inside the unit.

Best way to fly in

Queen Beatrix International Airport has strong links to the U.S., Canada, the Netherlands, and regional Caribbean routes.

Prices can spike during North American winter, so longer stays are easier to plan outside peak holiday periods.

Travel insurance

Use international medical insurance that covers Aruba and possible evacuation.

Routine care is manageable locally, but evacuation coverage matters for specialist emergencies.

Best first week plan

Eagle Beach, Palm Beach, Arikok National Park, snorkeling trips, sunset sailing, Oranjestad waterfront, Dutch-Caribbean cafes
