Beach Bar — Restaurant in Oranjestad (city)

Nice place and view. Seems like they are still getting the hang of things. Bar seating on 4 sides and a few couches outside. Sitting inside at the bar makes the wind tolerable. They offer paninis and wraps and a few desserts. Also a DJ for music and we saw live music there one night. Be prepared to pay with cash or credit. We were told the option to charge to your room was not available yet. Hopefully they extend their Happy hour to match surrounding bars because right now it is only 1 hour from 5-6.

UPDATE Feb 2020: Couldn't wait to return here on our 1st day back this year. Arrived just after happy hour started and sat on one of the couches outside. Waited 15 mins for someone to acknowledge us as they passed by serving a couple of larger groups (there were only 2 of us). Finally went to the bar to be served - not quick - got our drinks and returned outside. I ordered a long island iced tea, which is something I frequently order. Visually the drink wasn't even the right color which should have been a clue, but the taste I can only describe as horrible - like no alcohol and no coke, only soda water with lemon and I don't like soda water. Again, waited for someone to ask how everything was as I didn't want to leave and miss the sunset. Never happened, I gave up trying to drink it and we left after the sunset, leaving the drinks there. Couldn't bring ourselves to go back for the rest of the week. Apparently we weren't the only ones as people at the Divi Bar were talking about how they weren't going across the street to the beach bar for drinks, especially by the female bartender. Coincidentally, that's who made mine. The bar is awesome and the view can't be beat, but until they hire staff that acknowledges customers, move a little faster, and make decent drinks, I'll stick with getting my drink back at the Divi bar and walk across the street with it. Downgraded my rating from 4 stars to 3. Will see what...

I went in the night, so there was no view. First, with only 3 people there, it took about 7 minutes to acknowledge me. I came for a hamburger because I was craving it. Took a while to come out (that's OK), but it was just mid. That's where the ultimate star rating comes from (I don't rate on service). It was what I call a "waste of my stomach" since I can only eat 2 full meals per day. I should have eaten somewhere else. There was nothing I can explicitly say about the burger being bad, but it wasn't worth what I paid for, and you can't say the "experience" was worth anything at all (unless you're talking about the struggling DJ behind me playing for the destination wedding or the smell of chemicals from cleaning the kitchen floor next to me). Save yourself and get a burger from some spot on the side of the road for half the price.

Do not go here. I repeat... do not go here. Unless you want to be disappointed. Then you should go! They will serve you frozen drinks without straws. "Because of the environment." But they do serve in plastic cups. The plastic cups fall down in the ocean when they don't notice. If you tell them this, they wont even bother to get them. If you ask them for a spoon for your frozen drink, they get mad.

Another cool fact. If you are overweight, loud, annoying and American. This is your place to go. They ruin every place in Aruba. So you should to.

The cocktails have a lack of alcohol. So if you want to pay much more for just a fruity drink, you should go here.

For the smokers, you can not smoke outside in...
