Thanks to Hyro for shooting all the beautiful drone footage you see in this video. Be sure to visit his channel, it’s linked in the description. I also linked to all the tour operators we used, and to our reviews of the Ritz-Carlton Aruba and Hyatt Regency Aruba!
Today is your mother's birthday. She doesn't know that you manage a RUclips channel, nothing. She's alone and not well. Could be a blessing if you and your sisters start to be in touch with her. She needs emotional support and care.
Aruba was my favorite vacation ever. A beautiful island and great people. We went on a history tour and it was so interesting. I dream of going back there one day
I was in Aruba for the first time just 2 weeks ago, 9 24 22 to 10 1 22. I am now obsessed, to put it lightly, with the idea of returning! I am a person who is VERY sensitive to my surroundings and beautiful ARUBA touched my heart, soul and spirit!
My mom was born in Aruba and my family lives there for 25 years.... My grandfather ran the refinery on the island.... Apparently since the refinery has closed the island is not the same because Exxon/Lago poured so much money into the island and various projects.....
Same with me. My mother and grandparents were brought up in Aruba. I also have lived there, and left in 1978 at the age of 16. Our Island was untouched by Hardly any tourist. Sorry to say this but the Tourist Industrie already have distroyed our Island. Thanks to the terrible selfish brainless government on the Island. They don't love there own Island.
@@sangoud8583 I wonder if you knew my family? My mom was Gwendolyn Frey.... She has a brother Bill... My grandparents were Eddie and Ferdinand.... Or nicknamed Punk and Ferdie....
We've been there 4 times and only have seen about 10 percent of the Island , it's so beautiful and so much to do there, one of our favorite vacation spots ❤️
I watched your videos thanks to the link from Let’s go with Hyro . Great video very informative. We have been Traveling to Aruba since 1984 this video hits it dead on enjoy your travels and be safe .
As an Aruban I really enjoyed your video, especially that you talked of its history and highlighted the environmental devastation of the utv’s and atv’s. I would like to add too that the oil refinery in Aruba (and Curaçao) was of enormous importance in the allied war effort against nazi Germany. If it wasn’t for the fuel supplied by these refineries, the war would have dragged longer. It was of such vital importance that the island was attacked by German u-boats. The torpedoes missed the refinery though a few people were killed. Because of this danger Arubans were required to live in total darkness at night to prevent nighttime attacks. Arubans scrupulously complied with this requirement.
One of the most comprehensive travel videos I’ve watched. The collection of historic and contemporary video clips, along with a well scripted narrative make this a must watch recording. I have subscribed to this channel because of the quality of this video.Thank You! 🌹
Lived there for 8 years and Loved it. Learned to speak Papiamento but everyone could pick up quickly where you were from and switch into your language wether Spanish, English, Dutch and often many more. My kids could switch between Papiamento Dutch and English with out a thought.
Well done, been there twice-I tell all the locals who have a bit of land to save thier dish water and grow a garden that can sustain them in case another disaster/pandemic hits❤
Thank you so much for your video with beautiful footage and with all the honest reviews of the different spots you visited and the background information you provided. Very much appreciated I can tell you as a local
Another excellent video Carmen! We were there in June and found the wait at zeroover’s not worth it either. We loved our UTV tour and really enjoyed Madame Jeanette’s, flying fishbone and pinchos restaurants as some of our faves!
Ah we were hoping to dine at Flying Fishbone but they were booked out a month in advance! It looks lovely though. Thanks for watching, and sounds like you had an amazing trip!
Good morning, WOW!! Just beautiful! Aruba history is very interesting and educational.Well explained and exciting watching y’all experience so much in Aruba. Aruba on my family list one day. Thanks so much for sharing an awesome time and a adventure to cherish.
Aruba has a large African population as well as Arawak indigenous people.As for land Aruba had a big oil refinery many Caribbean people went there in search of work.
I've often thought of Aruba as a retirement spot. This was great, thank you. Are you guys still on track with your 21 resorts in 2021, or is time just flying by too fast?
Haha there have been some ups and downs for sure. We’re still on track 😀 but there was a bit of a break between resort 13 & 14. Next resort video is coming soon though!
You would never find me in Aruba comparing soils to other countries lol. Ill be on the beach with alcohol in my hand, I don't care how many times I go.

Aruba has the highest GDP per capita in the entire western hemisphere below the United States, Canada, and Bermuda. 🇦🇼💯💪🏻
It was so nice to meet you and be able to show you around my island! Loved every second of this video, great job! :-)
Thank you for making our trip so special! Absolutely loved collaborating with you.
Aruba was my favorite vacation ever. A beautiful island and great people. We went on a history tour and it was so interesting. I dream of going back there one day
Yes! It’s such an interesting place with a rich history. Glad you enjoyed it as much as we did!
Hey, quick question do you guys know of any unique spiders in aruba?
I love how you gave a bit of history of Aruba. Everytime I visit a country I like to know about there history.
Yes! That’s my fave part about revisiting a destination several times. You’re able to dive deeper each time and learn more about its history!
*cough*
I'm always here for the travel & history lesson combined. I love it. I can't wait to visit Aruba!!!
Thank you so much! Aruba’s so beautiful. You’ll love it!
O'Niel Caribbean Kitchen in the heart of downtown San Nicolas is a must! Jerk chicken and coconut shrimp is to die for!
I was in Aruba for the first time just 2 weeks ago, 9 24 22 to 10 1 22. I am now obsessed, to put it lightly, with the idea of returning! I am a person who is VERY sensitive to my surroundings and beautiful ARUBA touched my heart, soul and spirit!
So happy to hear you love our island❤
Those cacti are no joke! I got too close when walking and it attacked my foot and shoe🙄
Oh no! That must have hurt!
We had no idea about all these facts about Aruba. The horseback riding looked like the southwest! Never would have guessed Aruba.
Right?! The landscapes beyond the beaches are amazing.
My mom was born in Aruba and my family lives there for 25 years.... My grandfather ran the refinery on the island.... Apparently since the refinery has closed the island is not the same because Exxon/Lago poured so much money into the island and various projects.....
Oh wow that’s fascinating! Yeah it def sounds like it had a huge impact on the economy.
