Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA): Approximate driving time is 10 minutes and distance is 5 miles (8 km.)

Driving directions from Queen Beatrix International Airport: Take the main road out of the airport towards Oranjestad. After Oranjestad, this highway curves into JE Irasquin Blvd. Follow the signs to the low-rise hotel area. Hotel is on the left.

Getting there: There is no shuttle service from this airport so taxis are the best way to arrive. Fares are in the $16–$25 USD range. Rental cars are available online for more than $36 USD. Arubus public buses run from across the road from the airport to the main terminal in the Oranjestad dock area where a transfer onto Bus #10 or #10A takes passengers to the hotel area. Fare is less than $5 USD. Fees are subject to change without notice.

Getting around: Guests can walk to neighboring restaurants and the evening-only Alhambra Bazaar for tourist stalls, but apart from hotel facilities, this district offers little choice in the way of shopping so visitors head to the downtown stores. Buses run from in front of the hotel into downtown for fares of less than $5 USD; taxis are $5–$15 USD. The hotel also operates a frequent complimentary shuttle to the Alhambra Casino and the Alhambra Bazaar, and a golf-cart shuttle to the neighboring Tamarijn Aruba Mega hotel. Guests have access to complimentary bicycles and can rent mopeds for more than $36 USD a day. Fees subject to change without notice. Because main roads are well-maintained and well-posted, driving (right-hand side) is a popular option.
