Hotels in Aruba

Right off the coast of Venezuela, occupying a sliver of land 30 kilometers long and nine kilometers across, lies the white sands of the tropical island paradise known as Aruba. Claimed by the Spanish in 1499 and taken by the Dutch in 1636, the island has a rich history, and many Aruba hotels reflect it. A hotel in Aruba is never far from the sea, and is sometimes close to offbeat Aruba landmarks like the Aruba Ostrich Farm and the Aruba Aloe Factory. If you’ve never been to the island, and you’re nervous about making your Aruba reservations, our HotelsOne website can help. HotelsOne provides you with photos of hotels and complete lists of amenities, coupled with interactive area maps powered by Google, so you can see each hotel inside and out before you reserve it. So go from your hotel to the California Lighthouse for a stunning coastal view. Go from your hotel to Our Lady of Alto Visto Chapel for a moment of peace and quiet.

Hotels in Aruba’s capital city of Oranjestad show off the islands Dutch roots. This is also where Queen Beatrix International Airport is located with the convenience of many airport hotel rooms. Palm Beach, Aruba hotel rooms can be set just meters from pristine white sands and deep blue waters, while hotels in Eagle Beach, Aruba give you a front row seat to what is considered to be one of the 10 best beaches in the world! Other sites worth traveling to from your Aruba hotel include the island’s famous natural bridges. Though the largest one collapsed into the bay beneath it in 2005, there are still seven others well worth your time. A hotel on the island’s north side lets you explore the Natural Pool, while hotels on the island’s south side put you in touch with Baby Beach, so-called because it’s so shallow you can walk out into the water forever.

Other landlocked Aruba sights reachable from most hotel rooms include Casibari Rock and Ayo Rock Formations and the Bushiribban Gold Mill and Smelting Station. Sights of a wetter nature close to HotelsOne Aruba hotels include the wreck of the Antilla, a 400 foot German ship sunk by the Dutch marines in 1940 and now a popular snorkeling destination. An interesting sidenote: After the war, the German captain and crew purchased their former POW camp and made it into a hotel, which is still there.
