De Palm Pier — Attraction in Netherlands

May 14, 2023, Mother’s Day Weekend in Aruba at the Hilton Caribbean Resort Casino. On May 11th, 2023, my husband booked a Surprised 55th birthday “GetAway” in Aruba at the Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino. He wanted to create a memorable WOW factor for me and to my surprise he did! When he booked this excursion to our hotel where we were staying at The Hilton in Aruba. I was kinda, ifffffyyyyy being that I am not a strong swimmer. Our Concierge did explain that they had professional divers and lifeguards that were paying attention to all the guest that attended this tour and was told that we will be ok. The water was a little choppy yet beautiful. Bright aqua green water thin white sand, beautiful big fishes that you can touch at your fingertips. I enjoyed snorkeling and being able to see the coral reef deep in the sea. The concierge at the Hotel recommended a few excursions and packages they were offering at the time. My husband loves water, so he decided to pick a water activity for us to do. We are beach lovers and enjoy outdoor sports. On this trip we also did the Sea Trek excursion that was mind blowing. The helmets weighed 70pounds and went over the shoulder. This specialized helmet had oxygen flowing that allowed you to breathe and the magnifying shield allowed you to see far deep into the ocean. I recommend that you do wear a long sleeve wet suit. Why? Because the water is very cold. We did not feel nervous, they do give you a 10-minute course on the dos and don’ts. My husband and I saw fishes of all sizes and colors. It was beautiful. We walked 20 feet deep into the ocean and walked with our heads straight no looking down. The instructor did say if we look down then water will get into our helmets, and we did not want that. Keeping our heads straight kept the water out. They kept us in the deep water for 30 to 40 minutes, then we walked back to the pier. It was unbelievable. The crew also takes pictures and videos underwater for you to purchase at the gift shop before you leave, and they send it straight to your personal email. Holding a big Shell with the crab legs coming out was CRAZY to see. I always said the ocean is a place that you must respect. A must do when you take a trip to Aruba!!! I want to thank Djamel at the Concierge at the Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino Hotel was awesome in hooking us up with this memorable excursion. The only thing that I did not like was that the time went too fast! I felt for the money we paid we should have been there starting time at 8am to enjoy everything on the Island. I felt like we were shorted on the time. We were only able to do 2 excursions instead of the 6 excursions that were offered in the brochure. I feel that they should have extended the time a little longer to enjoy themselves more. Hubby and I are always creating...

De Palm Pier in Aruba is a fantastic spot that offers an unforgettable dining experience right over the water. The location is unbeatable, providing breathtaking ocean views and a perfect setting for both lunch and dinner. Watching the sunset from the pier is an absolute must.

The food at De Palm Pier is excellent, with a wide range of delicious options to choose from. We especially enjoyed the fresh seafood, which was cooked to perfection. The fish tacos and grilled shrimp were highlights, bursting with flavor and freshness. The menu caters to various tastes, ensuring everyone finds something they love.

The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, making it an ideal spot for a laid-back meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, providing great service without being intrusive. The tropical drinks and cocktails were delightful, adding to the overall experience.

De Palm Pier is more than just a restaurant; it's a destination. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or a fun place to enjoy with friends, this spot has it all. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Aruba – we can't...

I would recommend this location. I arrived at this location as a result of booking a tour through this brand name. I came here with my spouse and we walked down parallel to a hotel from the main Street in order to find the pier on the beach. We found the front of the facility and entered into what we saw after the fact was a well stocked small souvenir store and reception area. We spoke to the worker at the counter who gave us our tickets for the activity that we originally came to this location to board. While waiting for our activity, we discovered five or six other stores within this physical location that we did not know were co-located with this activity. This entire activity location is not just a departure location, but appears to be a well thought combination of stores and activities that could keep you fed and entertained for a few hours. We enjoyed our brief visit to this location and activity even though it was only about 30...
