Question
Hello,
I am an american living in Colombia, approximately 2 half hours from Maracaibo Venezuela.  My husband and I would like to travel to Aruba from Venequela but not sure which airline is the most economical and safest.  Could you please advise.  In addition, we would like to stay in a quiet, nice place, timeshare, hotel, doesn't matter, but with a very nice beach.  Could you make some recommendations.  Thank you very much
Faith


Answer
Hi Faith! From Maracaibo, Santa Barbara Airlines runs at least one flight to/from Aruba daily. They are a small commuter airline, so I do not think you will have any problem. I would also suggest Aruba Beach Club for your stay. Very quiet, more adult oriented. Check out their site at  www.arubabeachclub.net    It is a timeshare facility, but they do have room rentals also. Next door is the Manchebo Beach Resort. I do not know the website for them, but they are operated by Best Western Motels. It's another favorite for adults. If there is anything else I can help you with, please do not hesitate to contact me again!
