The guy doing the finger across the throat motion when he meant it was closed… lol 😆 I thought that meant “you’re dead” 😂😅all the food looked delicious!!! Love when y’all take us along for the food!!!
Great job on reviewing the food! The descriptions you give are so much better than saying bursting with flavor about everything. Thanks for taking us along.
I laughed right off the bat when you were evicted from the chickie and chairs at Playa Linda; we’ve owned there since 1987 and were just there for the last two weeks of November. Eduardo’s recently expanded and added huts to stand under. You hit most of our favorite places to eat. Im definitely checking out Cafe 080 next year! We get our croquette fix at Paddock’s across from the Renaissance, Bugaloo’s on DePalm Pier, and, believe it or not, Jack’s Cafe in Super Foods.🤣 The rainy season takes places this time of the year but it was especially rainy because of a storm system that wouldnt move along too quickly. Great video!!
Bahahaha I was embarrassed about that one! 🤣 but thought it was so funny! They were serious about those chairs! Haha So cool you have a place there! It’s such an amazing island! We had so much j gun! Thanks for your recommendations! We’ll have to check them out next time! 😜 Thank you so much for taking the time to watch & for your kind comment! 🥰
Planning another Aruba vacay and found your channel. You guys are so chippery and adorable! A pleasure to watch! I just subscribed! Your chemistry is amazing 👍🏽
Nice job on this! Im heading to Aruba with my gf in a few days and your videos have given us many great ideas. I really enjoy your fun easy style, editing and quality of your videos. As we all know, there are some really bad, useless videos here on RU-vid, but yours really stand out. Keep on traveling!! Thank you.
Just catching up and I needed this happy video! Happy 5th Anniversary and wishing you many, many more! Rain follows beauty so get your lovely bods to So. California...we need the rain! 😄
Awww we appreciate you!!! 🥰 Thank you tons!! Can’t believe it’s flown by so fast! 🥰 hahaha we do need to plan a SoCal trip don’t we?! Rain here we come! 🤣😜☔️
Cafe 080 is the place that stood out for me. The Dutch sampler with their papaya hot sauce looked wonderful. Owner seemed like a cool dude. Would definitely hit up this place in Aruba
Congratulations on your 5th wedding anniversary! 🎉my husband an I are also celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary this year! Going to Puerto Rico in June and planning to visit Aruba in February 2024.
Thank you so much!🥰🥰 Aww… Happy early Wedding Anniversary! 🎉 We haven’t made it to Puerto Rico yet but hope to get there soon! Safe travels! And we hope you enjoy Aruba next year! Thanks so much for watching!😊
im a student here in Aruba. The thing about Aruba is that it has the variety food wise to attract the tourists but thats really it. Most places do not leave you wanting more. The 2 places that I enjoyed were RedFish (popcorn shrimp) and shoco shack (pastechi). Some places like that famous ice cream truck is all hype.
Thank-you guys for this beautiful video. You are both so beautiful together. I love the chemistry between you two. Happy 5th anniversary, and I wish you both a lifetime together.❤ I love this video.
Did I hear that right? Gentlemen's clubs and baby stores? What an odd combo! 😉 Thanks for sharing . It has been 30+ years since I have been but have fond memories of Aruba.
Haha… Yep, you heard that right!😳 It was an interesting area to say the least! Lol… Thanks so much for watching! We definitely have fond memories of Aruba now as well!😊
So glad we found your channel. You guys are so gorgeous and friendly. We love your content and great energy. We are headed to Aruba in February and planning our adventures through RU-vid!
Absolutely, no fat comments but thank you for trying all of this yummy food on our behalf. Great content and super helpful, I will be visiting in August.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ANNIVERSARY MATT & NAT!! Five years wow! Well Matt and Nat, hang on to your bvd's because the years are going to fly by as time goes on! With all the fun you're having, doesn't seem like it was just yesterday that you two love birds got married? Lordy I wish I could eat as good as you guys do!! Yum!! I love your videos and this old lady enjoys them soooo much! It breaks up the loneliness. I hope you two had a great Thanksgiving 🦃 and I hope and pray you both have a blessed Christmas ⛄🎄
Heyyy Lee!!! Praying you had a good Christmas & hope you have a Happy New Year!! 🎊 thank you so much!! Time flies when you are having fun! Hahaha we do eat a lot. 🤣 lol My waistline notices! Haha We so appreciate you & you taking time to watch & comment such kind words! You make our day! So thank you for being on this adventure with us! 🥰💗 - Nat
Great video. Linda's is great. Palm Beach is very busy but great restaurants in the area. We never went to Charles drove thru the town looked a little scary and definitely not at night. When we go back will have to try some of the other places you guys went to
Happy anniversary 🎉 Love your videos 👏🏼👍🏼 thanks for the info..great job! My hubby and I were planning to go to Aruba for the first time but we don’t know which hotel to book. We were looking at the Riu Palace all inclusive. Do u have a video that shows where u stayed…would love to see it. Thanks. Sandra
Hi Sandra! Thank you so much for watching! Y'all should definitely make a trip to Aruba! It's a beautiful and unique island for sure. The Riu Palace looked awesome and is a great option if you want to go the all-inclusive route. We decided NOT to stay at an all-inclusive since we were wanting to experience the culture a little more and get away from the resort area during our stay. We stayed at an apartment about 5 mins from Palm Beach (the main tourist area) called Turibana Plaza (www.booking.com/hotel/aw/turibanaplaza.en.html?aid=7965308&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2). You Can see a short video of it here... ru-vid.comxYOFyZKa8dY?feature=share. It's away from the tourist area and nothing fancy or luxurious, but it was perfect for what we needed. If you're wanting something a little nicer and closer to Palm Beach that isn't an All-Inclusive, we would recommend the Radisson Blu (www.booking.com/hotel/aw/radisson-blu-aruba.en.html?aid=7965308&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2) I hope this helps! Thanks so much for watching! 😊
Hi Dawn! That's so awesome! We hope you have a wonderful time! Thanks so much for watching! The name of the restaurant for our anniversary was Pureocean Restaurant.
Fruit. We are going there in a couple of wks. Staying right there at the Holiday Inn (will be there.. a lot). Fruit on top of fruit on top of fruit, …sorry Matt
Yes! It was super easy driving and getting around. Service was typically pretty decent, but we always recommend downloading “offline maps” on Google Maps before setting out anywhere. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!😊
Oh no, did you burn your mouth on the bitterballen, those things are always striking you with the heat, when you think its cold the inside will burn you, always happens to me. Greetings from the netherlands
It depends on where you’re staying, but even if you’re staying in Palm Beach (the American Hotel/Tourist area) but want to see more than just the small area around your resort, we recommend getting a car.
Oh wow! Good to know! After reading your comment I was curious about the different pronunciations and found that 'how-duh' is the Dutch pronunciation (and technically the "correct" since gouda is from the Netherlands), 'goo-duh' is the American-English pronunciation, then most everywhere else it's pronounced 'ghow-duh'. You learn something new everyday! Lol... Thanks for sharing! And thanks for watching as well!😊 -Matt
@@AdventuresofMattandNat of course sending you hugs ❤️ 🤗 so happy for me to be here connecting with you because all amazing and I'll stayed connected with you its nice to meet you all and I enjoy your channel
Loved your video. We’re visiting Aruba in a month and looking forward to it. I took notes of the places you guys visited. Thanks again! Happy Anniversary!🥂
I love watching you 2 together. I’m going to Aruba this month staying at Riu for a week. You guys are great. Thanks so much for advice where to eat ❤❤❤
Currently in Aruba. Staying in Palm Beach. Ate @ Cafe080 tonight. Loved it ! Thanks guys. Had Gelato in the double decker bus. Yum! Tried to dine @ Zeerover. Was closed. Appreciate the recommendations. We are heading to Cabarete in The D.R in two months. Maybe you guys can go there first & advise ? Haha. Safe travels. Love your videos. Shawn from Toronto. 🇨🇦 Also enjoyed your Quebec videos. We love that province. As well as the east coast. NB,NS,PEI. ❤
I was just sitting here wondering where that accent is from because it sounded familiar then I scrolled and saw "Nashville" in the description box. Hey y'all from Knoxville! Thanks for the informative video... can't wait for my trip in a couple weeks.
Nice video. I'm heading to Aruba next month. You guys have given me a lot of great ideas. Also, it was super weird hearing Metatron's voice randomly pop up in your video 😆
I love your videos. Excellent job at portraying the island. We have been to Aruba many times and consider it our second home. I noticed you stayed by Turibana. We started staying their when it was new and used to stay their all the time but recently we started to notice it seems a little run down and customer service is not as great as it used to be.
Aww thank you so much! We appreciate you tons! 🥰 Thank you for taking the time to watch & for your kind comment! We had such a great time in Aruba! Yeah it was definitely what we paid for… which was $50 a night. 🤣🤷🏼♀️ So we didn’t have high expectations lol thanks again for watching!!
Geeze, you did not even scratch the surface. e.g. Peruvian restaurant in the low rises, Argentinian grill in Palm beach, Infinite, 2 Fools and a Bull, Que Pasa, Bavaria, LG Steakhouse. There are a lot more. You did not do credit to all the choices available. Been traveling to One Happy Island since 2005.
I'm new to your channel...I would like to say congratulations on ya'll anniversary 🎊🎉..so glad that I found it...I'm from Washington DC never been out the US...I'm look forward to traveling this beautiful world...I just need a traveling partner first Hint hint 😂🤗
