We was very dissatisfied we thought the flamingos would be walking all around the beach but it’s literally just there for pictures. The best thing was the banana boat. I am staying in a all inclusive hotel so this was definitely not worth it. Everything we did there we could have done at my hotel except the banana boat

I was able to participate in all of the activities except the banana boat only because I didn’t know it was open. The island is fun for adults and children alike. Plenty to see and do. You won’t regret it.

Great time the flamingos are a nice touch. There is plenty to do and lot of shade so you are not extra hot…. The beach has A LOT of stones (my least favorite thing). Food and drinks were good. Entertainment was good. Bus was clean. I was pleased. Good Job

My favorite vacation day!

Wow! This was our family favorite!! Plan ahead- reserve a private cabana- not necessary but we’ll worth the extra charge- a “home base” in the shade and easy private access to the MOST AMAZING snorkeling we experienced in all of Aruba! Bonus~ the food and drinks were great and included in the price. Awesome day!
