The Royal Plaza Mall is the most traditional shopping area in Oranjestad. This very pink and ornate building houses an attractive collection of shops that offers a little bit of everything. It is conveniently located right across the cruise ship terminal right in the middle of Oranjestad, walking distance to the bus station, museums , galleries and shopping malls.
I had no idea there were water spiders until diving in Aruba!
Gorgeous buildings downtown

The room was perfect for one. Clean and issues I had were promptly addressed. (They were minor) I love dogs , so the dogs on property were nice. All very friendly. Very quiet area with food in walking distance. You WILL need a car though if you plan on exploring other areas of the island.
