Sandra Scott Travels: Climb Aboard For A Tour Of Aruba
The Holiday Inn Resort recently finished a complete remodel and has three pools and of the longest beach of any Aruban hotel. John and I had driven along the south coast of Aruba but once we left the main road the highway markings were few and far between plus many roads on the wild, barren north coast are unpaved so we took a tour with jeep ABC Tours. One of the benefits of a tour, besides taking people to the significant sites, is that the guides are knowledgeable. Our driver/guide, Rocky, was great.
