Great video again. Your channel helped us with lots of ideas before our visit. And me still watching after our vacation tells me Aruba and your videos Are special👍 We found Chill to be a very good light beer similar to Amstel/Corona and enjoyed mainstreet but agree it has huge potential😊
Hi Hyro!!! My wife and I love your channel!!! We will be on the island from 4/21/22 - 4/26/22, are you going to make any videos around that time? If so where, we would love to meet you!!! We are planning on visiting a lot of your recommendations and want to thank you!!!
Thanks again Hyro! Happy words, good food, good mood, nice footage :-) You probably wanted to say Desperados beer, which is similar to Corona and Amstel Bright? And the ice cream was a little expensive tho... Nevertheless, thank you and until the next one! ;-)
Thanks for another entertaining vlog sir! I think the beer you mean that is like Amstel Bright and Corona is Sol, possibly? There’s also Desperados which is a bit like it but no selfrespecting beer drinker would order that ever, IMO
Hy there my friend!!..long time since I wrote a comment...i will be there for my second time on the 24 of may for ten days..we rented a airbnb in Oranjestad(Tanki Leendert)..for this trip also..i love Oranjestad its central for everything and everything seems close..also many places to go eat.. shop..thank you for the info..and your uploads..will be binge watching for a few days 🤣 If i see you pass by.. i will shake your hand for sure..because during lockdown..i couldn't wait to see a another walking videos to breathe.. And it help me a lot.. Cheers🍻 The french canadian
Hello there my friend, yes long time no see. Glad things are ok and good to hear you are heading this way! So you are coming for my birthday? haha... Thanks again for watching :-)
Wonderful as always. Like so many, I was shocked just how hard hit the downtown area was due to Covid, however when you think about it this pandemic caused the closure of many businesses that were not sustainable to begin with and likely would have gone under anyway. At any rate, those closed spaces now represent opportunities for business owners to open up something else that is sustainable. Consider it an economic reset. Aruba will bounce back. It'll just take some time and patience and better business plans/smarts. Love as always from Canada.
Mi ta kere cu eigenlijk e ta mas bunita cu antes. Sinembargo e luganan sera enberdad ta lage feel mane "mahos" y "bashi". Hopi jammer. Pero pa revive mester bin cu mane un sorto di plan di mercadeo. Wak con nan por hasi cosnan diferente cu Palm Beach. Mi a comenta (den un otro comentario) bv cu por promove cu e ta mas barata pa shop y come. Dus esey ta djis un voorbeeld pero e mester ta mas cu djis esey sino e lo sigi bai atras y keda djis un recuerdo di un area cu antes tabata tur cos pa nos (shopping, banco enz.) Saludos y danki pa wak e video.
Whatz up brother. You didn't have to rub it in. At the retired surf bar were you said (this is the life). Man, that just made me miss aruba even more. Haha 😄
It's nice to see what is available around Main street but hard to draw busy crowds . The majority of the tourists stay close to "home", and home is the hotel/resort area around Palm Beach. Everything is in walking distance and it's active both day and evening. The " Low Rise " area is more spread out and the town center area really only gets the day trip cruise people. At one time the casino at the Renaissance and the mall were a big draw, but now every resort has it's own casino and the biggest draw is proximity to the beaches . What attraction can be developed there that isn't found closer to the hotels ?
Hello Paul, you summed it up very very well! Most visitors "stay close" to where they are staying, especially those without their own car (rental). I think if we start with more choices of food and better prices would be a good start already. Combine that with some music and small museum, maybe art galleries just to name a few. Everyone knew that when the development of the Palm Beach area began about 15 years ago or so that this would affect the city center and it's businesses. Today we can see that more than ever. Can it be saved? I don't know, but it sure still has that potential because it can still attract both tourists and locals if done in a smart way. Maybe night events, cultural shows, cozy bars etc.
Another good vlog, I really can't wait to visit Aruba in September. We are travelling from England and I was wondering which best to bring Aruban Florins or US dollars?
Hello Symon, thank you glad you liked it. Bring US Dollars but avoid large bills like $100 or $50, they are not accepted everywhere due to not enough change a/o counterfeit. But in general, US$ is accepted everywhere.
I think Louis Vuitton made that coconut ice cream bar you got $$$ 😂. I would definitely check out that Coffee Break spot, looks like a good alternative location whenever the Dutch Pancake House or Cafe the Plaza are packed. Just an FYI, there’s a new Cheese Shop in the Eagle Beach area called Keshi Di Hulanda (Cheese of Holland) situated on the side street between the Amsterdam Manor and La Cabana. The owner Niels Wallen relocated to that spot, he was currently within the Plaza Bookshop. They have a variety of Cheeses, a selection of wines, nuts and dried fruits along with bread and coffee. The grand opening was on a few days ago on April 1st. For those staying that particular area it can serve as an option to grab maybe some wine or snacks instead of crossing over the street to Super foods. Enjoying the recent content showcasing the not so known eateries and accommodations 👍🏻
@@LetsgowithHyro I went to check out the Salt Flats over in Malmok today, took a few shots. Pretty cool to see. I can actually see them from my Air BnB from a distance
Hola Hyro, gracias por los buenos videos de Aruba. Voy en mayo con mi familia, dos niñas. Por favor, deseo me ayudes. Necesito saber los supermercados de alimentos y bebidas de Buenos precios. Y alquiler de autos confiables.
Hola Julio, gracias por tu mensaje. El supermercado mas economico es el "Save a lot" situado en Noord/Bubali. Encuanto alquiler de autos recomiendo cualquiera de las companias reconocidas como Hertz, Avis, Budget etc. No significa que las otras sean malas pero esos tienen oficina en el aeropuerto locual las hace mas practico tambien.
Should have come and say hi haha. I was looking to ride it for this vlog but it wasn't running despite the cruise ships in port. I get the feeling they only run during the weekdays, but either way I have seen them around again, just not on this day.
@@LetsgowithHyro Sorry meant to say I saw on the video you walked by the tram a few times hahaha.. I'm not actually there but will be there in June. I haven't been to Oranjestad on my last few trips due to walking issues, problems with my HIP. However, I would love to go on a day that tram is running and maybe go to Pastechi house.
Was going to ask about the tram but Edgar beat me to the punch.$ 6.00 for the ice cream was a bit high but for a beer I'd pay double as long as it wasn't Heineken(skunk urine)😵💫.Your going to make that couple on the bikes as Famous as you!
@@LetsgowithHyro it is not funny hyro...u shld show good places irrespective of music. It is when u copy music deliberately,it is marked and not when it is playing naturally in background. It wont b marked as u showing a place.
Am going to Aruba June 2026 then in 2028 am moving there once i like it.❤
Cool!
Love the video .hope we will meet you too there in streets of aruba😁😁😁😁we will be there 2nd week of this coming january.

You are a good man Hyro, great video 👍🏝❤
Thanks Marcel 🙂🙌🏼 you too!
Great video. There are a couple of places I missed last time. Have you ever done a video of Bits and Cheeses, Fred's, Camara Del Lobos or Charlies?
Thanks Pagie, I have not so far but a couple of them have already been on the list of places I plan to film so be pending 🙂💫

I fully agree! Yes it’s still sad to see 😢 Let’s hope a new era for the mainstreet may develop soon💫✨

Could have had another beer LOL

My pleasure Rob!
Hi Hyro, I saw you walked by the tram tracks a few times. I heard that the tram hardly every runs is that true?
Should have come and say hi haha. I was looking to ride it for this vlog but it wasn't running despite the cruise ships in port. I get the feeling they only run during the weekdays, but either way I have seen them around again, just not on this day.
Didn’t see you😅

Do you leave a tip in Aruba? If so what percent?
Yes, anywhere from 10 to 20% depending on the service.
We want a Leo Family montage 🤣🤣
🤣you never know🤣

LOL... yes that ice cream was sure expensive! Thanks for watching Ron :-)
$6 for a popsicle? This is a scam
Don't agree with that price.
At timeline 6:09 why did u cut the music..v bad. You r the only youtuber afraid of music.
Because I had a scissor, so I cut it LOL!
