All my favorite Aruba spots including hot spots, locally recommended locations, and how to swim with sea turtles like the one in the cover!
Pro tip! Many of these are accessible by bus, but a few require a car or tour, which is indicated in the description.

Aruba Lagunita
@jensierra
This is where we stayed! It's very affordable, a quick walk to the beach, and such an intimate, friendly space. It's my favorite stay to date.

Boardwalk Boutique Hotel Aruba
@jensierra
This one is a bit on the pricier end, but for a 4-star hotel, they provide a much more unique and tranquil space as a boutique hotel. I would spend the money on this space over another basic 4-star hotel any day!

"Bali Retreat Aruba" - Unique Vacation Villa Rental
@jensierra
Of course this spot isn't as close to the beach and would require a car, but it's such a beautiful space with a pool right outside the bedrooms. If you want to experience Bali without the $1k plane ticket, this is the spot!

Radisson Blu Aruba
@jensierra
This was one of your more standard resort that isn't crazy in price, but isn't necessarily a budget find.

Eagle Beach
@jensierra
This is considered the most gorgeous beach in the Caribbean and the second in the world! I definitely see why. If you need a snack or drink, check out Coco Loco right on the beach!

Arashi Beach
@jensierra
Another beautiful beach with views of the California lighthouse. There are a few free huts/cabanas, but there's a company on the beach that charges $40 for an umbrella, chairs, wifi, and waters. You can potentially bargain with them like we did.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jen Sierra
Hi guys! Happy to see you here :)
I'm a NYC-based travel creator who grew up in Atlanta, GA and previously studied/worked in London, but I have been traveling since I was just 6 months old! My family truly created my love for travel as I am half Indonesian visiting my family, my dad has a PHD in German and visits every few years, etc.
I am trusted by travelers on social media to create the ultimate guides/itineraries and find "money-worthy" spots to share; NYC and Paris are my most popular locations!
I wouldn't call myself a luxury traveler, but I'm not a budget traveler either, somewhere in between that gets the most bang for your buck. I love a balance between adventure and slow travel because working a 9-5 has taught me the importance of balance! It has also taught me how to maximize my time to be able to travel frequently (my friends don't understand how I do it haha)
