It will be our first time to go to Aruba. I want to know what and where is the perfect hotel to stay. My mother wants an accessible hotel where we can enjoy traveling different places. Will these so-called low rise hotels give us the best first experience of traveling nearby spots?
Just my opinion. The first time we stayed in Aruba, we stayed at the Divi Divi in among the low rises. It is a very nice place with a great beach. However, the low rises are somewhat isolated compared to the high-rises. At the high-rises, it is much more developed with tons of places to walk to for dinner, drinks, shopping, etc. At the low rises, you have a handful of choices, everything else requires a cab or rental car.
