The Royal Plaza Mall is the most traditional shopping area in Oranjestad. This very pink and ornate building houses an attractive collection of shops that offers a little bit of everything. It is conveniently located right across the cruise ship terminal right in the middle of Oranjestad, walking distance to the bus station, museums , galleries and shopping malls.
I had no idea there were water spiders until diving in Aruba!
Gorgeous buildings downtown

Excellent home away from home. The host was very kind and went out of his way to make me happy. It is near the water, but not beachfront. We can walk to the casino and all the restaurants are close by. It is quiet without all the frills. There are no obnoxious tourists walking around and making noise ...
