LATEST UPDATE 🌊 of Beach 🏖️conditions on Aruba🏝️ 

Thanks!

Can you give an explanation on what happened? When did it happen? Was it a hurricane? I can't find any information on it

In October 2023: There were no direct hits from tropical storms or hurricanes in Aruba. The closest storm was Hurricane Lisa, which passed south of Aruba from October 27 to November 5, 2023. While it didn't make landfall, it may have brought some wind and rain to the island.

Where is the best location to stay at Tamarijn where no rocks are in front of your room? Looks like bunker bar area is very rocky. Is Divi better then Tamaeijn? We are thinking of visiting.

Hi Hyro! I know this was posted a few days ago, but how are the beaches now? My boyfriend and I are coming by next weekend and I was wondering if it will still be grassy or will it be/is it already cleaned up? Thank you for your walk-throughs!! I love your videos 🇦🇼

Thank you, I always enjoy your videos! I must say, the water still looks beautiful and clear, even with the seagrass in it. I live in NYC and after going to Aruba and other places in the Caribbean, I don't even bother going to the beach in New Jersey or Long Island because it's so brown and ugly. I stay home and save my money for plane tickets because Aruba spoiled me! Around 7:00 there were so many shells - did all of those conch die? Also a couple weeks ago there was an owl nest on the beach, are they okay? Thank you again for all you do!

Is July a good month to go ? I’m going the 1st-8th first time ever

Thank you so much ! We are coming for the first time this Thursday ! Staying at the Tam. Hoping to have a marvelous time - it looks beautiful ! I suppose we can walk to the Divi for beach access !

Thanks for the quick update! Glad to see the Fofoti trees survived and the amazing recovery of Divi beach. I was there in May and I'll be back in 4 weeks. Can't wait!

Thanks for the update; we are a month from arrival now, looking forward to the beach what ever the condition.

HYRO, Quick Question…Ok So it’s 6 of us going to be in Aruba in December on a cruise. We don’t get there until 1PM and we know that most of the beaches and things will be busy already. We were thinking of going to Reflexions Beach Bar and Restaurant, but there are literally ZERO videos from that Beach Bar & Restaurant. I was wondering could you maybe do a video on that place?

Coming to Aruba in February, staying at Azure residences ! Looking forward to it ! Great video! Thanks

Wow, what happened? Super high tide? a storm?

I was there that week. It was a mess. sargasm came all the way up the sand to the walkway of the hotels. The water wasn't clear which was shocking. I've been coming to Aruba for 30 years and neve saw anything like that. They did clean up the next day but the water wasn't calm and not too clear.

Hi Hyro love the videos been a viewer for awhile we will be in Aruba on Saturday 5th year in a row staying at the Marriott should we reschedule what happened there?

Hi, from Tom and Marg in BC, Canada. Would you kindly give us an update how the Boca Catalina and other beaches faired? We spend a month in June and enjoyed that side of the island, lots of snorkeling for everyone, we did enjoy Eagle Beach a lot ..

Bon Nochi Great update! Lot’s of sea grass. Water is looking better/clear. Looks like the Tam/Divi beach and board walk had lot’s of damage.

Thank you Hydro for the update. My wife and I always stay at the Tamarijn and for the past couple of years Druif Beach hasn’t been so good. But WOW it’s back! Thanks God. And we will be coming this December to enjoy it. I haven’t seen it look this good in a LONG time! You made our day!

What kind of storm did you have?

Hopefully it’s better becoming every year since 2017

What is happening to Aruba? It seems like every couple of months the beaches are destroyed. Beach destruction doesn't seem to happen anywhere else.

I thought it was sargasm ..Didn't know it was seaweed

Thanks for the update, nice to see the clean up I am sure it will be back to perfection in 5 weeks when I arrive, looking forward to visiting your beautiful country. Cheers

It's unfortunate the current conditions there do not showcase the real beauty of the island. As a retired construction manager, we used to have a saying about all rehabilitation jobs... "The inconvenience is temporary.... the improvements are permanent!" Hopefully the hard workers will transform your beaches back to pristine conditions soon.

Oh no ! What happened to your beautiful island last week Hyro , I’m guessing some type of storm or rail end of a hurricane ?

Hello Hyro! Thanks a lot for the update news! 😮 wow it’s sad to see this at Aruba! But I know the Arabian people will work hard to fix this before winter, I’m happy to see Divi beach much much better ! That’s a positive good news. Take care my friend! And hope to see you all the round in Aruba! 👍👍

Thanks Hyro. I am headed to the Barcelo in a little over a month. I hope it is cleaned up but looking forward to my return.

Thank you Hyro for the beach updates, I want to know about the Tamarjin as that is where we stay . Hope things get better as we love Aruba.

Eating at bbq express tonight very good thank you

Glad to see the beaches are improving. We will be in Palm Beach on November 9th.

I will be in Aruba next Monday so if they need peoples to clean and do restoration I will be ready😢

Thanks so much, Hyro. Your video made us feel a whole lot better. Quite frankly, most of those old, smaller plastic palapas in front of the Divi were eyesores, badly in need of replacement, and a few were unsafe. We are glad to see them go, and hope that the Government will quickly replace them with the nicer, larger natural ones like the ones in front of La Cabana Resort.

Thank you for the update of this unfortunate situation. Coming back in 4 weeks, we are so looking forward to it. 💗 We were going to renew our vows but think we will wait until March when our son can come with us.

Very confused. What caused this?

Thanks for for all the information about the beaches in Aruba❤

Thanks for the update Hyro. Nice to see that the Divi beach has recovered more sand area.

Thanks for all you do, Hyro. Hope to see you when we are back in May.

Oh no I’m going next month I hope everything gets better by then

I’ll be at palm beach holiday inn nov 11

I hope you can do a follow up in a few weeks to show an improvement

Hello hyro.thanks for the update..

We were there just a few weeks ago, what happened

Just arrived back to Canada from RIU palace. This happened our last night there, we could hear the waves crashing from our room all night. The beach of the RIU was flooded with seawater. Nonetheless, it is very beautiful there.

What happened there and when was it?

Thanks for all that you and your wife do.

Good update and visual on damages to the beach’s Great to see Divi Golf Resort / on the move to improve the conditions. Thanks

My Bonita Aruba ❤ I love you no matter and will be there in January.

So what happened at the coast? why so much seagrass on the shore?

What happened???😱

I have been to Aruba several times, the last time about 12 years ago…..I noticed a huge difference, the beaches were a mess and the water was murky and unclean…..I said I would never go back…….the island has been ruined by too many tourists and the water by ocean liners, banana boats and whatever else that tourists can ride on…..it’s such a shame as it was a paradise years ago………..Donna in Toronto

Thanks!

I was never impressed with palm beach anyway. It never appealed to me. Wasnt as clear nor did the water feel right opposed to the other beaches there.

Jeetje wat balen dat er alweer veel schade is. Ik zag de enorme golven via de webcams van Amsterdam manor en Bucuti dit weekend. Dank voor je update.

When did this happen? Was it wind or sea damage?
