No one comes to Aruba looking for a cheap holiday.
Most visitors come to the island on package tours to luxury resorts.
Aruba has its own currency but the US dollar is widely used. They'll take your greenbacks in even the tiniest local bar, though your change is likely to be in florins. Major credit cards and travelers' checks are accepted at all businesses catering to tourists. Look out for ABN-AMRO bank ATMs, which will dispense cash in local currency or US dollars. We encourage you to verify any critical information with the relevant authorities before you travel.
