I love the Private Islands - no additional fees unless you want to rent equipment like jet skis, snorkeling gear and of course buy drinks, which can be charged to the S&S card. Best Caribbean Port of Call - Aruba. You are right in downtown for restaurants, shopping, casino's and local public transportation. Palm and Eagle beach are a short bus ride away with beautiful hotels for services. People are friendly and don't hassle you to buy things and the weather is beautiful year round.
