🏖️ EAGLE Beach vs PALM Beach 🏝️ Aruba 🇦🇼 Which one is BETTER? 

Such an awesome video! And I loved seeing the old footage of your family! Can’t wait to get to Aruba next week and your videos have been a huge help! 😊

Fantastic review! Our Family will be going to Aruba for the fourth time in 6 years (Covid). I agree with your review. I enjoyed the mini tour of both beaches. Aruba is our favorite destination and God willing many more visits. I hope you continue your reviews; they are entertaining and informational. Thanks!

New sub here. Love Aruba and have been there about 10 times, mainly to Palm Beach. Due to Covid we were not able to go for 2 years but just got back and have already rebooked for August. Have to go and watch your other videos now.

Loved eagle beach! Stayed on Aruba in march 22 and it was really great!

My fav is eagle, more leaning towards Manchebo direction😍 Thank you for the detailed explanation and beautiful shots

WE LOVE DIVI!!!

Danki pa e video Hyro!

❤Thanks for sharing.

Great video, very interesting. I prefer Eagle beach, nicer, quite stayed at Bucuti and Tara

Hi Hyro, We have just watched your video on Eagle beach which is great. We want to visit Eagle beach next March and wondered what it the best part of the beach to swim in with the sun shades? Also, if we are getting the local bus from Oranjestad, what bus stop should we get off at to be at the right part of the beach? is there a landmark you can advise for us to look out for from the bus. Thank you, Jill and Sean

Hi, Hyro! I just found your channel when I was searching for information for my upcoming cruise and I'm obsessed! I've only been to Aruba once and stayed at the Marriot Surf Club obviously on Palm Beach. This time, we're just spending a day from the ship and I'll be with a friend who has never been before. We haven't planned anything but I do want to spend some time at the beach because the beaches and water are incredible and I need the rest! Could you suggest where we should go where we can rent a couple of chairs for the day and just hang out? We would also like to spend some time walking around downtown afterward. I have heard that there's a nice section near Amsterdam Manor but that the sewage smell can make it impossible to stay. I saw your video about how much you like Divi Beach but wasn't sure if there are chairs available there. We aren't interested in snorkeling this trip since we have that planned for Curacao. Thank you so much for any help! We'll be there on September 7th.

I loved both beaches but Eagle beach was always incredibly windy.

I agree with you Hyro; Eagle Beach is the nicer of the two beaches. We stayed 3 weeks close to Eagle beach and visited almost every day. We also visited Palm Beach. Palm is quite busy and we found the water to be not as clear/nice as Eagle, though we did not walk the entire Palm beach. Also be aware that these two beaches get a lot busier when the Cruise ships come into port, so you may want to check the cruise ship schedule for Aruba and plan appropriately. I will also say that we found the area on Eagle beach out front of the Amsterdam Manor and Eagle Resort hotels to be more busy. We chose to walk further down Eagle beach towards the Costa Linda hotel/condominum to find the quieter beach area AND a place where you can sit in the shade when you want out of the sun. The Costa Linda also offered good food at a reasonable price AND happy hours daily. Aruba is a BEAUTIFUL island and we hope to go back again. 👍

What's the weather like at the moment, or the forecast for the next 2 weeks? We ment to land on the 23rd and we are thinking of cancelling if the weather is like we are seeing on the Internet. Please let me know. Cheers

Eagle Beach is my favorite and I usually stay at La Cabana. Except I developed some issues with my left hip 2 years ago and it became difficult for me to be crossing the street to go to the beach and climb up out of the water. Lately I've been staying at Divi Phoenix so better for me on account that it is right on the beach and towards the end of the beach its easier for me to go in and out of the water. However, it's not as deep as Eagle Beach which I love..

Aruba é a minha terra natal. De San Nicolas, e onde e estudei no colégio St. Agustin até a idade de10 anos donde parti para a Europa com os meus pais. Passados 6o anos - onde nunca deixara de pensar na minha terra, tenho tido oportunidade de acompanhar a sua evolução sócio económica e financeira dimencionada às suas estruturas geográficas, sua expansão culto-demográfico...Estou ansioso por voltar a pisar àquele chão e envolver- me nas suas raízes e recuperar um tempo/espaço e recordar histórias por contar dum outro tempo perdido e deixadas inadvertidamente. Recordo a propósito a minha estadia nessa praia maravilhosa há 60 anos. Apenas havia um hotel naquela extensa praia. Obrigado pela excente informação o que nos deixa antecipar momentos de lazer da vida que às vezes bem merecemos 😃

salam hadir yimak like sehabat ku yang baik semoga selalu sehat semangat lancar sukses ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💪💪❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍 3:44

Great video! Where's the link for the swimming with turtles video?

I'm obsessed with your videos Hyro! I must admit, they have kept me going during these tough times. And, thanks for the history included in this one 💚💙

Hi, is the beach at the divi phoenix public? Can you get chairs and palapa if you’re not staying at that hotel?

Hi, is the beach at the divi phoenix resort public? If so, can you get a palapa and chairs?

Do you have a “favorite” all inclusive resort on Eagle Beach for a couple?

Eagle beach was just voted #2 best beach in the world. We'll be in Aruba next month, can't wait.

I went here a few years ago, so beautiful, heaven on earth. highly recommend

Are there any places to rent chairs and umbrellas on either of these beaches?

Hello friend!!! Really like the history part! Very informative video!! For my part eagle beach by far..i don't like crowds...palm beach (beach part feels like a highway with a full load of people) But i like the restaurant and markets at night.. Eagle beach is more breathable period..in many ways... Thanks again The french canadian

why you avoid music areas, u should actually go to music areas,it connects the mood.

What are the prices for jet ski rentals and sunset sailing?

Hi Hyro !! Thank you for the beautiful video's. Every time I watch your video's they warm my heart and give me insight of the beautiful island of Aruba. I live in Canada , Southern Ontario I'm counting my days till retirement and I'm going to make Aruba my retirement home . If there's any info you can give for living there please do. I can't wait to retire and make the beautiful island of Aruba home. Thx so much keep up the beautiful video's Chris

Beautiful healthy 👀 looking beach waters and sands; in Aruba, I know also by having visited for vacationing in Aruba some years ago.

Hey Hyro, another Sunday where we are sitting down binging on your great videos. We can’t wait for this plandemic to be over so we can once again vacation in beautiful Aruba. Looks like things are changing here in Canada because of our brave truckers so hopefully things will get back to normal. Thanks for making all the great videos brother Hyro!

Thanks for the video, my favorite beach is Palm Beach, I noticed you walked in front of what used to be known as the Aruba Grand hotel now called the Riu if I'm not mistaken, was not impressed by the makeover but it's still a great spot.

You did 👍 im coming for xmas this year in a couple of months i will...we will enjoy our trip thanks for the info😍🎉

Thank you for this wonderful video. I will be visiting soon and staying on Palm Beach. So excited just to be visiting. 🥰

The bar inside of the De Palms Pier, Bugaloe Bar, is only " nice" when the wait staff is diverse. Usually, when all of the wait staff is White Dutch, black tourists get discriminated against.

Can you walk to Eagle or Palm Beach from the cruise port?

What time of the year was this?

Palm Beach for me! Everything you need is in walking distance lots of bars and restaurants. Can't wait will be there in July.

For me, Eagle Beach was more relaxed and that's where we did our jet skiing and it was nice. Palm Beach is where you want to be if you like to party. It reminds me of Miami. I loved them both ❤

Hey it was great to briefly meet you in person. Keep up the great videos.

Thanks for the video! Now I’m glad I made my reservation to stay in Eagle Beach

Thank you for such and informative and professional video tour of these two beaches. My husband and I love staying in the Palm Beach area when we visit but we do enjoy taking a bus ride to Eagle Beach for the day 💕💕💕

I saw the e bikes and scooters at the beginning of the video, are those for public use (for a few of course)? If not do you know if it easy to get a taxi or public transit to/from the cruise port?

Have you thought about buying a property and air bnbing it? Call it the ambassador suite 😂

Both beaches are beautiful we been staying at Marriott Palm beach for 14 years but stayed at Eagle beach many years ago a few times , baby beach is great to , but the past years it got to crowded for us ..

Great video and think we’re set on Eagle Beach. We want to be able to rent chairs and umbrella and think I’ve read you can where Coco Loco beach bar is located. Any suggestions? Want something on the beach an options for drinks and food. Doesn’t have to be fancy. 😂

I'm coming to Aruba in September on a cruise ship. We are planning to spend time at Eagle Beach. How is Aruba with welcoming back cruise visitors and is there any COVID rules that we should know about?

Hyro - Which area would you recommend for accessibility for someone that is in a wheelchair?

I hope Palm Beach is better because we are booked here for our first visit to Aruba!

Yay, I'm about to visit Aruba with my soon to be husband this summer (June) and am enjoying your videos! Thank you so much for making these, they are really helpful and you seem so sweet!

Omg. Awesome video. Were there for the day in nov on a cruise. Trying to figure out which beach? Seems Eagle is more kick back. Are there restrooms and places to eat? Thx

Helpful video, thank you. According to Googlemaps, its approx 30-40 mins to walk between the two beaches.

We've been all over the island, to every beach on the resort side of the island and Eagle Beach remains our favorite - hands down! Aruba is one of our favorite places to vacation. My husband and I are returning for our 3rd time right after New Years 2023 and will be staying for 2 weeks. We are very excited to have our adult daughter join us for the first "family vacation" that just the 3 of us have shared in many years. We've traveled together to Hawaii and all over the continental US to popular beach destinations and major amusement parks, mostly in the western and southern US. She has also traveled to Greece, France, and Italy. We're staying at LaCabana Resort which is an amazing place. We own a timeshare there and love it. The short walk across the road is well worth it! Palm Beach and the others are fine too but we are still very glad our resort is closest to Eagle Beach. Palm Beach is bustling with activity and we've gone on a few adventures from there, an afternoon Pirate Ship cruise, parasailing, we loved the Pier and found the BEST gelato ever!!

Love these videos. Is there a complete history up to the present times? I saw where the refinery closed in 1953. In 1980's there were still oil ships all over the place.??I'm confused?? LOL Keep up the wonderful work you do.

Hi Hyro, traveling from the USA next month, wondering what the local view on drones is? Do you go through EU rules or is it just kind of don’t bother anyone vibe? Love your aerials btw.

Thanks for the video. Which beach area is best to tell a taxi to take us off a cruise ship for the day with chair & shade rentals bar and restaurant?

I just want to thank you for doing such a wonderful job on this video. Aruba is my favorite island. One reason is that it is not too far from where I live in Philadelphia so it’s about a four hour plane ride. 99% of the locals are extremely helpful and friendly.

Where's the link for beaches to swim with turtles in Aruba? I'd love to see it! Thanks!

Your video made Aruba my next to go list. Thank you 🥰

Great job! Very impressed on the details. I'll be in Eagle Beach next May 2024 with my Family. Does Eagle Beach have bathroom and outdoor showers to rinse off sand?

We stay at the RUI over twee weeks, it’s it far to walk to Earle beach and it’s it worth to go to eagle beach to see ?

My island...Aruba ..Islandgirl...🌊⛱🏖🏝🏜❤🇦🇼🇦🇼🇦🇼🇦🇼🇦🇼🇦🇼🇦🇼🇦🇼

Hello Hydro, Thank you so much for you video. Me & my husband are planning a visit too Aruba around the last of April 2022. I have been completely lost on where to stay. I’ve researched so much over the past year, I feel like I would be the #1 travel agent for Aruba. Then luckily I found & watched your video because I had everything completely wrong and some unanswered questions answered. I thought Palm Beach was quiet, calm and Eagle Beach was busy, shopping stores, crowded and so forth. How WRONG I was, lol. So now I’m just lost again. I also wondered about Arapaho, Boca Catalina & Malmok Beaches? I want the island feel, along with the quiet, relaxing, pool, jacuzzi, patio chilling area with the beach view (oceanfront preferred). So I thought Arashi down too Malmok Beach would fit everything I was looking for but I didn’t see where you mentioned that area. We want to snorkel, swim and enjoy the beauty of the entire island. I can’t be in the sun long so we want too rent a jeep, car a 4-wheel drive vehicle or whatever we need too go off road & enjoy everything the island of Aruba has too offer. Any help would be greatly appreciated from you or anyone with a lot of experience with Aruba. Thank you, Lisa-soon too be a first timer too Aruba 🤞🤞

Can you rent sun beds in Palm Beach or are they only for the hotels. Thanks. Been to Aruba twice stayed at the Tamerin twice and loved it. We are in a cruise ship January 2023 and are stopping at Aruba so we want a beach day. Choosing Palm Beach so we can shop and have a few beers as well lol. Thanks Derek 👍

Thanks for the video. I have been to Aruba many times, initially always at Eagle Beach (Manchebo) but also to Palm Beach (Marriott, Hilton). I cannot decide which beach I enjoyed better, I love both of them. In Palm Beach, you propabely find more restaurants and other entertainment. I am planning to come back to Aruba soon and I think I will try the Holiday Inn at Palm Beach.

Thanks of the video Hyro! I really enjoy the content. I usually go to Palm Beach because I stay in the Playa Linda, but I thing Eagle Beach is nice too! I have been to Aruba 8 times before and every time I go it just gets better. Aruba really is One Happy Island! 🇦🇼

Great job Hyro! Eagle beach for me - stayed at Costa Linda last year and it blew me away!

My wife and I are planning to go to Aruba in October and wanted to stay in an all inclusive hotel. What do you recommend?

I appreciate your insider take on both beaches. I will be there mid November 2021 on the Carnival Horizon. This is my first visit to Aruba. What is the distance between the ship embarkation port to Palm Beach or Eagle beach? What is the typical taxi fare? I want to eat local food is there a local café walking distance from Palm Beach? You mentioned a superstore down the road from Eagle Beach do they sell local typical food? Our main goal is to snorkel in your beautiful white beaches. Thanks for mentioning the lockers; that was helpful tourist visiting.

Awesome video, very informative. Never have been to Aruba. Just booked a trip for this June with my wife...so excited after watching this video. What tour company would you recommend for a sunset sail?

Hi Hyro, nice video. I appreciate the arrow graphics. And loved the vintage footage too, nice touch. Is Aruba safe for families to visit right now?

Dear Hyro! Thank you very much for your video, i hope soon will come to usa and then fly to Aruba, and already before your video decided with Amsterdam Manor hotel just across the beach )))

Eagle Beach is no. 1 vergeleken met Palm Beach. De pier op Palm Beach is mooi en heeft sfeer, voor de rest voorkeur Eagle Beach. Naast alle + punten die je al noemde, er staat ook iets meer wind op Eagle Beach wat het iets aangenamer maakt. Mangel Halto Beach is de echte no. 1, meer locals aanwezig (gezellig), de mangrove bomen ..... etc

Thank you for this video. Your videos are very helpful. I have never been to aruba but planning to be there in October. The supermarket near the hotels at eagle Beach is awesome. I would prefer eagle Beach too.

Nice videos, I would love to go back to the Happy Island, we just to go every year from Venezuela, Such a nice memory with family and frinds!! I love Aruba!

Hi Hyro. Great videos, all of them. I trust your judgement and clear objective information. I will be on a cruise stop later this month and want to combine beach and a big of shallow wager snorkeling. I see the bus is a good reliable inexpensive option. I have seen there is snorkeling on Palm Beach near the police station. Or would you go along further to Boca Catalina? I am a senior who just wants to paddle around in 4-8 feet of water and see a few colorful fish. Thanks.

Thanks for this. We are staying at the Bucuti & Tara resort in a few weeks, and I think we made a great decision to be on Eagle Beach.

Both beaches look awesome. Can’t wait to visit Aruba!! Thank you for making these videos! Do the turtles bring the sharks?

How long is the walk from eagle to palm beach? Do they have locks at eagle beach? Any recommendations for hotels to stay?

Great video! Are there any chair rentals/umbrellas at either of the beaches?

I Just watched your video on eagle beach vs palm beach. I really enjoyed it. Look forward to watching more. Thank you!!!

Hi, I love your videos! I would love if you included, if there is public parking, bathrooms, and your favorite lunch, dinner spotsin the area your exploring. 💗Keep walking! 🌊

Hopefully visiting this May, COVID permitting. Thank you for your great videos

Thanks Hyro 2 beautiful beach I prefer Eagle beach more quite and large.Super video we watched 4 times.

what time of year was this video done? Also when's the best time to go-good hotel rates

Great video! May you share with me the google maps link of the exact location of the palm at 9:02 of the video? Thanks

Hi Hyro! Thanks so much for the video. For visitors, do you recommend renting a car to get around or would just bike rentals do ok? Hoping to see the two beaches as well as explore some downtown areas.

Can this trip be done without a rental car? seems like rental cars on islands are hard to get lately and wanted to know if it’s even an option, I would be there for a week

Hello Hyro, I will be on Driuf beach. Can you please advise if Eagle beach is walking distance from Druif beach? If so, about how far is it? I am aware they are connected but not sure of the distance between the two.

Love your videos. I watch the walking tours every weekend, this one is my fave. I plan on retiring there very soon. Your positive vibes and attitude make your channel the best in all of the Caribbean!!! Thanks for all that you do. I ❤ Aruba

We stayed at the Hilton last year, and there was nothing more relaxing then sitting under the Palapas. How hard is it to get one if you arent staying at a resort and actually renting a house on the island at either Eagle or Palm?

First time in Aruba was at the Westin, now Riu Antillas. I watched school children swim out to the concrete pillar and wood decking for gym class, near the police station. In the years since, I have wondered why it has been left to deteriorate. It has been repainted three times but the decking has never been repaired. I'm biased in the beach preference, love the snorkeling around the rock breakwater at the public beach !

Heading to Aruba next year. Would love more information on the chair/palapa rentals and the lone palm tree for a photo op. Love your video!

Hy Hyro can you please tell me how is the weather in the first week of December thanks in advance

Great review! I so appreciate all your videos. I leave tomorrow for Aruba. Any advise on best place to get a road bicycle rental for a week. There looks to be more pedestrian and bicycle paths now. Happy to see that ! And yes you are very fortunate to call the island home. Thanks again.

beautiful Aruba share Like#1

How far is walking distance between 2 beaches ? And is Jolly Pirates adventures located on palm beach ? Thank you for very informative video !

So beautiful Hyro! Is it a problem to set up your own beach canopy on the beaches here (if a palapa is not availble)?
