Palm Beach vs Eagle Beach: choose the right airport route

Palm Beach high-rise hotels

Palm Beach is home to many of Aruba’s large beachfront resorts. Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt Regency, RIU, Holiday Inn and other properties have separate receptions. High-rise hotel area is a useful general description but an incomplete final destination.

Eagle Beach low-rise coast

Eagle Beach has lower-rise resorts and accommodation around the coastal road. Some properties are beachfront and others are across a road or farther inland. Confirm the reception so you do not have to move your bags from a public beach stop.

Noord is broader than Palm Beach

A Noord postal address can refer to a beachfront resort, an inland apartment or a villa farther north. Match the actual property instead of using Noord as proof of one fixed journey time. Residential stays benefit from a map pin and host instructions.

The Divi name needs more detail

Divi Aruba Phoenix is on Palm Beach, while Divi Aruba All Inclusive, Tamarijn, Divi Dutch Village and Divi Village Golf & Beach are farther south. A meal plan or shared brand does not identify the reception where your group will check in.

Keep the return location precise

Use the same exact property and reception in the return confirmation. Beach access points, casino entrances, restaurants and hotel receptions can be different places within one resort area.
