Where to stay in Aruba? Going for a week, don’t want to do all inclusive. Debating staying in a nice resort (e.g., Ritz) for the first few nights then moving to an Airbnb. I was hoping there might be some cool airbnbs but for the most part am just seeing standard condos. Anyone have any tips on where to stay?

The Ritz is great!

Ive stay at Hilton. The Hyatt right next door. I would recommend that area. It’s beach resort. Restaurants and shopping are right across the street.

If you browse the travel threads on FB, there are horror stories of Airbnbs in Aruba. Also when the airport closed earlier this month, everyone with Airbnbs were screwed where the hotels were more accommodating.

Either book a hotel or a timeshare on Palm Beach or Eagle Beach if you want a smaller hotel. I love a couple of days at the Renaissance with the private beach.

The appeal of Aruba is the beaches (and how safe it is) - I wouldn’t want to stay off the beach.

Yeah just curious why airbnbs in Aruba would be different than the rest of the world

This was a recent trip and thought this picture came out pretty nice.

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
