When do you like to arrive in Aruba?

I like to get to Aruba by noonish their time. I spend that same day getting settled and making sure everything made the flight OK. What time do you like to arrive in Aruba?

I like to get in around early evening for the same reason as you. I spend the rest of that day getting in to the hotel and unpacked. I try to get a goods night sleep that first night.

I like to get there late morning/early afternoon, but I don't bother with unpacking and settling in. Get me checked in so I can hit the beach! The bathing suits and flip flops are always on the top in the suitcase so when I get in the room I change and run out the door

It's always a trade off for me between a really early morning start from home or take a later flight and arrive in time for dinner! I tend to go for the former as I like to have time to wind down and relax before sleeping.

I'm the same way. I've even been known to change in the lobby bathroom and head to the beach if my room isn't ready when I get there. A week goes by really fast and there's no time to waste

Afternoons have to be the best. If I get there early, it means that I was up all night, and will be sleepy. If I get there too late, I won't have time to enjoy anything.
