HONEYMOON TRAVEL TIPS:
- Average year round temperature is 82 degrees F.
- Area code: 297
- A big bonus: Upon departure, American citizens clear customs in Aruba, which means
there are no more customs or immigration formalities when you land.
-
Aruba is a very popular island for honeymooners. Book your room at least 6 months in
advance.
- Some local businesses give honeymooners special discounts. Look for the "One Cool Honeymoon" program.
-
The local language is a melodic mix of Dutch, Spanish and English called Papiamento but everyone speaks English.
-
The official currency is the Aruban Florin, which is tied to the US dollar, so US currency is accepted everywhere, but change might be given in Florins.
-
Taxis are easy to find (Look for TX on the license plate) but set the fare before entering.
-
If a Service Charge is not included, a 10% tip is customary.
DON’T MISS:
- Take a trip to the deep together in the Atlantis Submarine. It takes 48 passengers 95-150
ft. below the sea. There are more than enough portholes for everyone to get a close up
glimpse of colorful marine life. Reservations must be made a day in advance:
