Packing Tips

Casual is the key to packing smart. Comfortable, warm-weather clothing generally is acceptable in restaurants, shops and attractions. Aruba rests in the paths of constant trade winds, which offer a cooling effect. Bring some dress casual clothing to visit night spots or to have dinner in an elegant restaurant.

Bathing suits are fine for the sand and the sun, but they are not permitted indoors in businesses anywhere on the island.

Time Zones

Aruba is in the Atlantic Standard Time Zone. Daylight savings time is not observed, so during the winter Aruba is one hour ahead of EST.

Currency/Exchange Rate

The Aruban florin is the official Aruba currency, however most prices are in U.S. dollars. Each florin is divided into 100 cents. Silver coins are exchanged in the following denominations: 5 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents, 50 cents, a whole florin one florin, 2 1/2 florins and 5 florins. The yotin is worth 50 cents.

Once the exchange rate fluctuates with the U.S. dollar, and once with world market; it fluctuates with the U.S. Dollar. U.S. dollars are widely accepted in Aruba, and banks may exchange other foreign currency. Most Aruba banks operate Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Banks are closed on official holidays. A bank is available in the Aruba airport to exchange currency. Meeting participants may use ATM cards to withdraw U.S. dollars.
