    Very nice airport. The check-in process was smooth even during the end of Thanksgiving weekend. Global entry made navigation thru the 2nd customs a breeze. Allow 3 hours when leaving the island.

    Every person we encountered was gracious and kind. This was my first trip to Aruba (and I'm not particularly fond of flying) but the entire process was smooth and the people were amazing. The airport (and its staff are the first and last things we saw on our trip, and it was great) I can safely say I will be back.

    Much better than 3 years ago. I have to give it up to Aruba, for their diligence in screening for covid-19. They have a great way of controlling the flow of people, And the way that they test, makes me hang my head in shame towards the American side. Even going to the shopping centers, doing groceries, everything is much more advanced here in Aruba in regards to the national pandemic that's going on now. Hopefully, America can get on board, and start protecting their people, as Aruba protects theirs and their visitors. Thank you Aruba, and we will see you soon!

    Friendly staff and they made coming into the country smooth and not intimidating. It’s a small airport so I wouldn’t want to be stuck here during a layover but the experience was fine.

    Sehr schöne kleine Wanderung. Die Ruinen sind wenig spannend, aber interessant zu sehen, wie die Natur sich wieder ausbreitet. Wir konnten Colibris und andere Vögel beobachten. Nur mal still stehen oder sitzen. Der Wanderweg ist nicht sehr lang, führt teilweise durch dichtes Gehölz. Bis zur großen Brücke und ein Stück weiter. Die Mangroven sind fantastisch. Festes Schuhwerk und Wasser empfehlenswert.

  • 4/5 David A. 3 years ago on Google
    Good little airport, must need your green ED check mark to enter. They should have more than 1 person verifying the green check mark. We stood in line way too long for that. And 14 booths for verifying your passport, and only 3 or 4 were open? Again they should have at least 7-8 open. It would make more sense to get people through the airport expeditiously so they could spend more $$ in your country. Those would be my only complaints. Seems like an easy fix. Otherwise it takes 90 minutes from plane landing to a taxi. That could easily be 30 minutes.

👍👍 My wife and I first ventured to Aruba for our honeymoon in 2020 and it was a life changing trip for us. When we returned in 2021 we were curious to see how everything would hold up. We had another wonderful time, but by far the experience for me that raised the bar even further was snorkeling with R...
