Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Sheila JAtlanta, GA10 contributionsLearning salsa for the first time with ArubaSalsa and Reggie was a phenomenal experience. We chose private lessons and had a fun, enjoyable 1-on-1 experience with a great instructor. He not only focused on the lessons but also the proper instruction from steps, hands, and movements for both female and males. I would highly recommend this if you’re visiting and looking for a fun activity. After our lesson, right outside the studio the local community plays music and dances in the courtyard. Magical moments.Written 3 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LuxeFamilyFunUnited States1,274 contributionsWhat a great spot! After a great couple of drinks at Apotheek, we asked our driver to take us to one more spot in downtown Oranjestad, and he chose Cafe Chaos.
The owner, Howie, was behind the bar. Great, affable guy. Obviously, everyone knew him. Live music began (which was excellent) and the mostly full bar enjoyed the night.
The bar has a definite, "Euro" feel to it, with lots of futbol items. The crowd was unusual. It seemed like mostly Europeans - local maybe, but they didn't seem like native Arubans or even many tourists. I felt like we were in a pub in Amsterdam. I'm sure that is exactly what they are trying to create at Cafe Chaos.
Great work. It will definitely be in our regular Aruba rotation.Written 27 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sophie TGroningen, The Netherlands17 contributionsNear the airport of Aruba you can find this nice beach bar. The conditions of the ocean are perfect for swimming, but if you don't like the salty water, you can also cool down in the swimming pool of Nikki Beach. A small but nice pool right next to the bar, so no need to get out of the water for ordering a drink. The staff is very friendly and also the food is good.
On sundays it can be a bit crowded, because Nikki beach is also a popular place among locals.
Nice detail for everybody who is a bit addicted to their mobile devices, bring your charger! If your battery is about to die, just plug it in at the bar ;-)Written 25 August 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I went here two nights in a row, each time reveling in the experience they had to offer. A Cuban cigar and scotch never tasted so good. I highly recommend.Written 3 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JeffreyTravelClarkston, MI1,192 contributionsWe had pulled into Port on the Norwegian Epic. Aruba was our first stop after leaving San Juan and being at sea for a day. A friend and myself wanted to explore Aruba and hit some restaurants and try some appetizers. This was our first stop.
It was very close to the Cruise Ship. We had a beautiful view. It was a very nice place. Stephanie was our server and she was excellent. She made it a great dining experience. We ordered three appetizers . Pictures attached. The Garlic Shrimp were fantastic. We both really loved them. All three were good but the Garlic Shrimp were memorable.
The weather was great, I could have sat there much longer but we were taking a Submarine ride and had to leave.
Give this restaurant and try the Garlic Shrimp. You will enjoy. We did.Written 16 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Troy, the owner very friendly and definitely guides you through all the cigars they have to offer.
Amazing staff and an awesome place to relax on your lunch break or after a busy day of work as a local. Awesome place for tourists too!Written 17 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ellen PTwickenham, UK117 contributionsWent here to watch a World Cup match with my parents and sister. We were welcomed with friendly smiles and good service even though it's clearly a locals bar and we were clearly tourists.
