SNORKELING AND OFF-ROADING

Make your way to Aruba and experience all of the romance and lovely views that this location has to offer. The sunsets are gorgeous, and the ocean is clear and blue, making is super inviting for a nice afternoon swim.

You'll love the rooms at the Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino. You get a lovely view of the sea and the palm trees and it just really feels like paradise. There are pretty fountains and statues on the property, so it's a nice place for a photo shoot if you want to capture the memories.

The staff is generous and patient and they'll ensure that you are totally taken care of. Be sure to just relax and take your time to catch all the glimpses of just how gorgeous everything is. Even from the hotel you can see the blue and serene ocean waves! There was such a positive and energizing feeling to being near the Aruba sea; it was magical!

If you love the water, this is your place. You will find ample opportunities to go snorkeling, and there is a spot of beach at the hotel, so just grab your snorkeling mask and get out there! There are colorful fish all over; definitely worth the effort! 

You can even take a yoga paddle board class here with SUP Yoga and Vela Aruba. It's definitely a unique experience; you can practice your yoga poses and movements while floating atop the crystal blue waters on your paddle board. Don't worry, the boards stay tethered down so that you don't float away from the class.

Of course, there is just as much fun to be had on land, too! One of the coolest activities to try is going on an off-roading Jeep tour with De Palm Tours to the natural pool and bridge, as well as the California Lighthouse. It is a bit of a noisy and bumpy ride, but it's wild and awesome! It truly is an exhilarating experience. The natural bridge is incredible; just step out of the Jeep and onto a huge rock structure that formed a bridge over a pool of ocean water. It feels surreal. The end of the tour takes you to the lighthouse, which stands tall and mighty in the glistening sun. 

Back at the Aruba Marriott, you can replenish your appetite at the amazing restaurant on the beach. They offer delicious seafood and fresh ingredients, so it's highly recommended! There is also a wonderful ambiance and it's a soothing place to be at the end of the day. If you haven't been to this incredible place yet, then you need to put it on your travel list!
