Your $20.00 ED CARD charge is paying for a new sewar system which these mega resorts should be paying for. But Aruba is charging all the tourist to visit its island. In addition to the room cost, transportation cost, dining cost etc, etc isn't enough. Eventually they will price themselves like all other Caribbean locations.
WOW, we will be back in November 2025 VIA cruise ship and that visit we will make the trip to baby beach. Those resorts are huge. I volunteer to come work in Aruba 😉
As a 30 year timeshare owner who comes to Aruba every year it is absolutely ridiculous the amount of construction that is going on !! The past comment on how the infrastructure will not be able to handle all the people is soo true!! And as also mentioned, where are they going to find the work force?? What ever happened to the idea of a moratorium on building new lodging projects after they built the Ritz Carlton?? It’s sad to see what is happening to Aruba!!
Aruba has always controlled there economy very well, where are all these workers from. I hope they are mostly Arubans. I hope the greed seen in other countrys changeing to a tourist economy doesnt hurt Arubans. When the refinery left in the 60-70s. I worried about the citizens. TY Hyro, nice camera work.
I've vacationed on Aruba 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and last time was 2005. I loved the natural unspoiled beauty. There wasn't even 1 fast food joint. All this construction is horrible!! Absolutely ruining everything that was great about Aruba
Aaaahhh, please stop the development. Your island is a great place, and it's soon going to be overrun and way too expensive. Nice video Hyro, thanks for the update.
Unfortunately these decisions are made by those in the government and not by the common citizen (me included). I think if we locally are very realistic and sincere, we should (all) now work on everything around it to make it a better island in every sense of the word. I think feedback by our repeat visitors should be taken seriously and I thank you for your opinion.
Oh my goodness , this is my island, ( I know I don’t live there anymore) . I know I won’t be popular with most people, especially with locals, but this is just too much. I have read lots of tourists say on different websites that it’s too much building and they do not want to go there anymore. My biggest fear. You are being very diplomatic Hyro. I know you have to but this is too much! Especially the all inclusive by baby beach! Dreadful!! Mi pober Isla! 😩😩😩😢😢
@@anthonymorris5084 like me, you can imagine it. It’s going to be like another palm beach. Not good at all, it’s so much smaller than Palm beach. I’m heartbroken for my island! 😩😩
Nice video! I visited Aruba in August and saw all the construction. Can’t wait to go back and see the finished product. I went to the area where they’re building the new Secrets. Very nice area but it’s a very long drive from the airport.
😳😳😳 you just mentioned that you would be available as a interior designer for our home??? THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT MY WIFE IS LOOKING 👀 FOR… some guidance to make our home more unique and warmth….
Great video Hyro! Construction updates every so often is welcome. We went to the Rum Reef bar a few weeks back and I dropped your name with the host. Great bar for apps and beers and people watching - the waiter doling out “sake” bombs at the pool was a hoot!
Ive owned mutiple weeks of of a timeshare since 2005 in the lowrise area and have seen this new construction out of control. They keep saying about improving the airport but just seems like talk and the airport is worse every year with congestion. I enjoy your updates and am a subscriber to the channel, my wife and I would liv to meet you someday, your drone footage is always very professional and look forward to seeing it.
It's from feedback and suggestions that we could and should learn from our mistakes. I know the airport is completing an expansion. How much will it help remains to be seen but it does look promising. Hope to meet you next time you visit.
Excellent job !!, drone footage is awesome. Just what I was looking for, especially the update on the road at palm beach. 36 days to go, can't wait to be in paradise. Tell Marleene to get her jewelry collection ready. Will see you guys soon.
Hey my friend, yes I thought of you when making this video because I know you are familiar with this area. Marleen says hello🏝️☀️we look forward to seeing you.
Thanks Hyro, Just got home from Aruba last week and staying at the Hilton was very interesting with my project few room. I stayed in the same room you did ,after watching your video a few years ago and after all the construction is down it will be really nice improvement. But I agree that enough is enough with the Aruba hotel expansion projects. Hope to see you in January on the beach near the Marriott surf club. Be well🙂
I’m hoping the Iberostar will have enough palapas for their guests. We rent at Oasis and it can be hard to get one in front of MVC even in the off season. There’s certainly enough room to add more, and some washrooms would be a welcome addition too.
Super informative video, Hyro. I really appreciate the drone views. So glad to see the St Regis is finally nearing completion. Hopefully, the sidewalk will connect seamlessly along the beach when theyre done. I will be there in less than two months and walk that sidewalk every day from the Playa Linda to the Alhambra area.
Sorry to say you are being very diplomatic Hyro but it will have a huge impact. The infrastructure on the island can’t cope with more people living in the island. Where are they going to come from( the workers I mean) . You mentioned that Aruba does not have enough workers as it is.😢😢😢
I love Aruba and have since the late 1960s but I’ll tell you this the airport and the waiting times are not too good right now on most days when these resorts open I really don’t even wanna think about it but on top of that a lot more tourist and a lot less serenity
Great drone footage Hyro all though some of these projects are beautiful and controversial it will bring more attention to the infrastructure that is needed but also generate more revenue hopefully the government will make the developers pay for it . I also hope that this doesn’t destroy the beautiful beaches of this Happy island 🏝️🦎🌺
Hy Hyro. Nice and educational video. I loved your new approach about Aruba. It's always great to have access to videos like this that show us the updates that are happening out there. Thanks for updating us. Take care my friend
Another great walk, we missed walking around those boats, will have to do it next time. Nice to see plenty of parking spaces ! Look forward to the next walk ! 😊
