Yes! Your passport must be valid for 6 months beyond your stay. U.S. citizens don't need a visa for visits under 30 days.

Taxis are the most convenient option - there's no Uber or Lyft on the island. All taxis are government-regulated with set rates, and drivers speak English. Most tourists find this the easiest way to explore.

Taxis are readily available at the airport. The fare to the hotel area is about $25-30. No need to book in advance - just follow signs to the taxi stand when you exit the airport.

Most guests find taxis more convenient and affordable than renting a car. Parking can be limited, and taxis eliminate the need for a designated driver. Plus, they're easily available at hotels and attractions.

We've chosen the Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort - an island paradise that perfectly captures the magic of Aruba. The property features multiple pools, a casino, several restaurants and bars, and modern, comfortable rooms with ocean or city views. Plus, you'll love the location - it's right in the heart of downtown Oranjestad, perfect for exploring local shopping, dining, and nightlife. The resort's exclusive private island with its resident flamingos is a magical highlight you won't want to miss!

We've secured a special room block with discounted rates for our wedding guests.
