One other Day In Paradise
Whereas this journey was an absolute blast, it wasn’t my first time visiting Aruba. I knew the final structure, and was actually curious what the Embassy Suites could be like when it comes to location.
If you happen to’ve by no means been, there are 2 in style locations to remain if you’re heading to a resort in Aruba — Palm Seaside and Eagle Seaside.
The Embassy Suites? Proper within the center! 🤩
On my first journey to Aruba, I stayed on Palm Seaside, which is gorgeous! However, I didn’t get the possibility to take a look at Eagle Seaside.
For this journey, the Embassy Suites Aruba was within the excellent location to have the ability to get pleasure from BOTH seashores.
This time, I wasn’t alone both, so I liked that Liz and I might have the ability to go to the seashore I already knew was superior, in addition to Eagle Seaside (which we’d come to search out equally superior).
Plus, staying on the Embassy Suites offers you free entry to seashore chair leases and bike leases, so we had been in a position to get to both seashore with ease and even have our personal chairs to arrange as soon as we bought there.
For occasions we didn’t really feel like biking to a seashore, the Embassy Suites had its personal seashore proper out entrance that even has an underground tunnel resulting in it so that you don’t need to cross the road!
Location, location, location…. I do know I do know I’m going on and on about it, however there’s yet one more perk I can’t not point out: there are wonderful eating places, retailers, and extra inside strolling and biking distance.
When you positively don’t even want to go away the resort if you happen to don’t really feel prefer it, I actually prefer to discover a little bit of the realm that I’m in after I journey.
This made the Embassy Suites the proper match for me, and after I did depart the property I knew I used to be inside strolling distance to so many enjoyable issues to do and take a look at.
After we head again to Aruba, the placement alone will certainly draw me again to the Embassy Suites.
First Impressions Matter
It doesn’t matter what you inform your self after an ungainly conversational fumble, first impressions do matter.
After I walked into the Embassy Suites, the very first thing I seen was how polished every part was. It’s the latest resort on the island, and it exhibits!
The whole lot is pristine and particularly curated to make you really feel like you’re someplace particular.
In actual fact, one of many very first issues you’ll discover is the lights hanging above the foyer entrance that resemble birds.
That is really to pay tribute to the truth that a hen sanctuary lies straight behind the resort.
Checking in was a breeze, and we had been in our suite very quickly. And simply in case you forgot, EVERY room is a collection.
Touring with somebody who likes to remain up late and watch TV? Effectively, they’ll hand around in the opposite room whilst you go to mattress early.
Touring with children? Then the Embassy Suites is THE place for you. The property doesn’t cost further for teenagers, a rarity on the island.
All of the couches have pull out beds, so the youngsters can have their very own separate space to sleep at night time and you may sleep soundly in your individual room understanding you’ve scored among the best offers on the island.
We had been fortunate sufficient to remain in one of many bigger suites, and may’t advocate it sufficient! Not solely is it extra spacious, you additionally get 2 balconies to get pleasure from!
I imply, simply LOOK at this room beneath:
We’d solely simply checked into our room, and I used to be already a fan of Embassy Suites Aruba.
A Heat Welcome Certainly
Have you ever ever paid hundreds simply to get to your resort, then dished out extra to your nightly charge, simply to search out that ordering a drink goes to place a dent in your pockets quicker than you possibly can say “rum punch, please”?
On the Embassy Suites, you’ll get 2 drinks free every day throughout their night Cocktail Reception, the proper solution to cap off your every day adventures as you transition into “night time mode”.
After checking in to our wonderful room and unpacking, we had been in a position to head down and get our free cocktails to spend a while unwinding from our journey day earlier than dinner.
This grew to become a staple in our every day routine on the Embassy Suites, and was a good time for us to speak about our adventures we had for the day, play a card recreation, and simply relax earlier than dinner and night actions.
Dinner was additionally unbelievable, although by the point it got here round we had already grown to count on subsequent degree service, and we weren’t dissatisfied!
In actual fact, the meals was so good on the Embassy Suites that we determined in opposition to consuming out every night time in favor of hanging out on the resort.
One factor you MUST do throughout your keep is to order the tequenos (Caribbean Cheese Sticks).
The Aruba Expertise
To date we’d solely had a day and night on the resort and Aruba was already a unbelievable journey. However, regardless that you can completely keep on resort the entire time and have an excellent journey, don’t neglect to get out and discover!
Aruba is a beautiful island, and there are tons of issues to do when you are there.
One in all our favorites? The WATER!
I’m not fairly sure I used to be meant to come back into this life as a human… any likelihood I get to leap in (and beneath) the water, I take it!
That’s why certainly one of our must-dos whereas in Aruba was snorkeling. Whereas we’re each licensed to dive, we thought a day on a catamaran with Red Sail Sports Aruba could be a enjoyable solution to see among the marine life whereas additionally having fun with the boat life for the day, and we had been proper!
A fast trip to the marina from the resort and we had been on the water very quickly.
The crew was wonderful (and hilarious, significantly you possibly can’t NOT have an excellent time with them), and the spots we stopped to snorkel had been stunning.
We’ve been diving and snorkeling in lots of locations throughout the Caribbean, and Aruba lived as much as our expectations.
If you happen to prefer to get within the water like us, you’ll have a good time with Crimson Sail! To not point out the free drinks and lunch whereas on board.
We even noticed our favourite fish, a juvenile yellowtail damselfish.
If you happen to see the bluest blue fish you’ve ever seen glowing because the Aruban solar bounces off their scales, you’ve noticed one.
After an incredible day at sea, we headed again to the Embassy Suites Aruba and frolicked by the pool in our Cabana that we had reserved.
The pool is large, and there are many areas round to hang around as properly. We caught up on a bit of labor and skim subsequent to the pool for some time.
After this, we took benefit of motorcycle leases and went into city for gelato. There’s a actually cool space that appears prefer it was ripped proper out of Italy, with a restaurant referred to as Giannis to match!
Proper in the identical ‘courtyard’ space, there’s a double decker bus that serves gelato, and I don’t know if you happen to knew this, however gelato tastes higher in Aruba 😉. After a day within the solar, a motorbike trip because the climate cooled adopted by some gelato was a ten/10.
As soon as we headed again to the resort, we had our nightly ritual of free cocktails and reliving our adventures for the day whereas we performed playing cards.
The proper solution to put together for an additional wonderful dinner on the balcony overlooking a stunning sundown!
The place We’re Going, We Don’t Want Roads
We’re massive followers of attempting new issues. I imply, you don’t soar into the journey business full time if you happen to don’t prefer to strive new issues, it’s like the entire level proper?!
That’s why we do what we do, and typically you do one thing that instantly makes you need to go once more!
That occurred to me throughout my first journey to Aruba. I went on a UTV tour and had an absolute blast, I knew right away I needed to get Liz to strive it too!
Fortunately we got that likelihood with Fofoti Tours & Transfer.
They picked us up proper from the Embassy Suites Aruba, and we had been getting off highway heading to the north finish of the island very quickly!
Since I had already been earlier than, I used to be the passenger princess the entire time whereas Liz took us off-road to some unbelievable surroundings.
Going to this facet of the island seems like you’re visiting the moon. The world is totally undeveloped and appears completely completely different from the resorts and seashores you see when again on the resort.
Throughout your tour you’re going to get to trip over some actually enjoyable terrain in your solution to see a number of highlights like a pure bridge and the California Lighthouse.
Your final cease is refreshing, so put on your swimsuit and prepare to get pleasure from Tres Trapi Seaside!
The ‘seashore’ is basically small however very fairly. There’s a spot that you may soar in, and the water feels wonderful. It’s additionally a good way to clean off the filth you’ve probably collected on your self throughout your offoading adventures.
We forgot our swimsuits, however we didn’t let that cease us, we simply jumped in with our garments on! 😂
A UTV tour is such a cool solution to see a really distinctive facet of the island, and TOURS did such an excellent job of creating it seamless and enjoyable!
You’ll discover a theme right here for our subsequent exercise: we bought again to the Embassy Suites Aruba, grabbed our free cocktails, and talked about how wonderful our day was!
Dinner was as soon as once more unbelievable, and by this level we had been regulars! The waiter knew us, knew what we wished to drink, and requested us about our keep. We felt actually at dwelling and liked ending our days like this.
All Good Issues Should Come To An Finish
Sadly, we are able to’t dwell at The Embassy Suites Aruba (I requested 😂 ), and our final morning was upon us.
However, we weren’t going to let that cease us from having fun with ourselves!
On our bike trip to get gelato, we seen a butterfly backyard proper subsequent door to the Embassy Suites and determined to test it out earlier than leaving for the airport.
First issues first… it’s value it!
It felt a bit dear ($20 a pop), however we realized after we purchased the tickets that they’re legitimate in the course of your keep in Aruba.
We had been leaving in a number of hours, however now we all know for subsequent time!
Strolling in was an emotional expertise. The butterflies are all so quiet and mild and the gardens are stunning.
You naturally really feel a hush come over you as quickly as you step in. We seen they even do yoga periods there typically which might have been an incredible expertise!
Leaving Is Just As Easy As Arriving
When it was finally time to leave, checkout was just as easy as checking in, and the airport was nearby (less than 15 minutes).
Plus, another perk of Aruba is you get to do U.S. customs before taking off, so that way, when you land in the U.S., you can skip it!
Remember, once you get through the initial security check in Aruba when departing, you aren’t done if you are heading to the U.S., you need to continue to the right where you will go through U.S. security and customs.
We can’t wait to get back to Aruba, and when we go the Embassy Suites will be at the top of our list!
