Aruba

[DDS71]

I have been traveling to Aruba once or twice a year since 2005. I really wonder if the San Nicolas red light set-up is going to survive this pandemic. I remember back in 2005, there were probably a dozen or more really good bars with 5-6 (or more) great looking Colombians in each bar. The last 5 years things have been dwindling each year. Black / White Bar, Copacabana, and Chesterfields were about it the last time I was there in August 2019. Now that there have been no Colombians the last 6 months I really wonder how the remaining bars are going to survive. Also, with the oil refinery shut down for years now I think the Aruban government would like to repurpose that entire area. Will be interesting to see what happens, I will always have great memories of my times in San Nicolas.

August 4 there were 8 active Covid cases in Aruba. Yesterday, 1160. New cases trending down, but still at 60 yesterday. Aruba will not be on my list of travel destinations any time soon.

I live here

Apparently, JustIncognito lives on Aruba, too. In May 2017, he posted:

I live on Aruba. I have a US Passport.

Everything is open.

Everything? Take a look at the following website:

https://www.visitaruba.com/news/gene...avel-to-aruba/

Scroll down to August 5, 2020, where it states:

"August 5, 2020 Aruba government announces additional measures including closure of bars and nightclubs. During a press conference this evening, the Aruba government has announced that all bars, rumshops and nightclubs are to close as of tonight at 8:30 pm until further notice. "

So, has that changed, especially given the fact that it is now August 24? If bars and nightclubs are closed, that is definitely going to impact mongers in Aruba, as many reports written here in the Aruba ISG thread indicate WGs can be found in the bars and nightclubs.

The island is on lockdown. Most flights stopped between islands and a few still coming to / from Holland and the us with very strict rules. Now is not the time to even think about going to Aruba. Wait until 2021. Nobody will be out and about there--people are getting panicked, the island is in chaos and the economy in shambles. If you give a shit about anyone on the island besides yourself--you will stay away--and that is true for all these small Caribbean islands!

All true except that Aruba is not in lockdown. I live here. Everything is open. Hotels, Restaurants and stores are all open. There are only a few restrictions. There cannot be gatherings with more than 4 people and you have to wear a mask in every establishment. There is also social distancing rules in every store. But outside you don't have to wear a mask. Furthermore the economy is picking up. Things will be fine. Tourist are welcome here. It is a perfect time to come and relax because the Island will not be crowded.

Anyone on the ground in Aruba or been since reopening?

Is San Nic operating like usual? Or closed due to Covid?

A local Aruban guy went to Holland. He returned, left quarantine early and worked in 2 bars and a night club. All while having and spreading the viirus without knowing it. In 2-3 weeks Aruba has gone from 5 cases to over 1000! There are about 1000 active cases on the island right now giving it the highest per capita covid rate in the world! The island is on lockdown. Most flights stopped between islands and a few still coming to / from Holland and the us with very strict rules. Now is not the time to even think about going to Aruba. Wait until 2021. Nobody will be out and about there--people are getting panicked, the island is in chaos and the economy in shambles.

I read that Aruba will be one of the first Caribbean islands to reopen in June or July.

My question is this: did the Colombian club girls in San Nicolas, or the Venezuelan freelancers in town, go home when shit hit the fan in March? Or did they ride out the storm, so to speak, on Aruba. I suspect that the former is true, but I am curious if there is any evidence of the latter.

I might want to go to Aruba anyway for other reasons, but it would be even more appealing if there are any Colombians or Venezuelans left.

If Tinder is any indication, there are still some under the radar. I've learned the sweet spot when looking at distance and most of the stuff I'm seeing is spot on, though I could be picking up some Punto Fijo or Campo Alegre by accident.

My second island experience was much better than the first. This time I went with a "this is what I want list" and stuck to it. As with my first trip to Aruba I had limited mongering time due to my travelling companion. But this time I was less frantic as I'd scoped San Nicholas out the previous year and had lost my cherry. This year I was not to be distracted by anything but what was at the top of my bucket list. My first early morning in SN I cruised and saw a few but none were what I had "bucket listed" so I passed them by. Took a 30 minute drive and returned to a similar situation. OK. Strike three for my first attempt but I had no regrets. My second attempt started like my first but I did see a few other mongers cruising and learnt there route. I took an hour drive hoping for some new choices would appear. I made two passes and was getting nothing but the same and I was weakening as it was my last day to relieve my stress. On my third and last pass I found her. Thin, dark skinned. She spoke less English than I spoke Spanish but we managed to agree on $60- and we were off to the races. Her room was clean and neat. At 5'2" she was very well proportioned and I had a great time exploring her Colombian assets. Safe sex was all that was on the menu which was fine by me. Things started hot and heavy with lots of foreplay and when we finally commenced, I didn't last long as seeing my white hips pound her beautiful black ass put me over the top. This was a long time fantasy and a first for me. Hoping things go even better next year!

Hey fellow mongers,

I am going to Aruba this June and if I can sneak away from the family I would like to see a Venezuelan prostitute. I won't have much time so go to SN is put of the question. I might be able to see someone hanging around Gustos as I will be staying in a hotel 10 minutes from there. Do you guys know of any incall close to Gustos?

I'm arrived yesterday and I want to know if.

Someone already used City of Love I want.

To meet Barbara and I want to ask if.

Someone here knows her.

Cheers.

So am I safe in St Nicholas in the evening.

Hate to say it like that, but it depends.

If you can find a parking spot right in front of one of the 3-4 remaining clubs, and it's not too late (like 8 pm), and you go directly into the bar, do not get drunk, do "the deed", leave the bar when it's not too late (like 8:30 pm-9 pm), survey the area to make sure there are no shady looking people hanging out near your car, walk straight to the car, get in and drive off. You should be ok.

IMHO I don't think walking from bar to bar (especially at night), stopping in the alleys, stopping and exiting the car without surveying the immediate area for at least a few minutes is not safe. Of course, the majority won't be robbed and won't have their car scratched or otherwise vandalized. But there have been plenty of incidents and let me assure you that will continue for at least foreseeable future.

Also I recommend having good and reliable car insurance.

I went back to Aruba in January on business. I was down there from a Sunday to a Wednesday. It was a fast trip but saw some different things from my December trip. I stayed in an Airbnb near Palm Beach.

I arrived on Sunday and did not get a chance for any mongering Sunday night.

I worked all day on Monday, and finally got some time to have some fun Monday night. Unlike December, there were very few VZ's. I did not see any at Gusto's. So I had to stay up till 1 am and go to The Mill. I met a smoking hot VZ who was very nice but she said she could not leave till 2 am. Anyway, I sweetened my offer so she would leave with me at 130 am. We agreed*on $150 and went back to my apartment. She was stroking me the whole 5 minute drive to my apartment. We got back there and had a great time. She was a spinner and was 4'10". She had big fake bolt-on's and was a GFE. I dropped her back at The Mill at 245 am and went to bed.

Tuesday, I had to take my boss to the airport and continued to San Nicholas afterwards at 1:30 pm. There were a lot of chicas, and I went for a thin one with fake one's from Cali. She was at the bar next to Copacabana. She was a great time and cost me $30. In the evening I came back to San Nicholas around 10 pm and was shocked to find only a few bars open. Chesterfields, Copacabana, Roxy's, Black and White, and 2 other bars were open. All others were closed and the girls were working out the back doors. I decided to go to Chesterfields and met a very nice girl there from Cali with natural one's. I had a great time with her and paid her $50 and another $17 to the bar for drinks, condom, and room fee. I talked to the owner for a while, and he told me that most of the bars are now only open Friday and Saturday nights. He said things have gotten very bad in San Nich and most of the girls are working out of rooms and the bars are not opening.

Summary-San Nicholas has gotten worse, and the bar scene there has definitely declined in the last 6 months. It was much more active in September when I went then it was in January, and September is the low season. Will be interesting to see what happens down the road to this old refinery town.

I was in Aruba in December from the 16th-20th. I stayed up at the Hilton in Palm Beach. As soon as I landed I rented my car from Tropic which is always a Hyundai Accent. I rent from them because they do not have their company sticker on the vehicle windows. So not to stick out doing the 500. LOL. They are also much less*expensive.

Right after I got the car, I headed straight to San Nicholas. It was around 3 pm and I did the 500 as usual for about 20 minutes. In the alley behind Black and White where Fan is, there were quite a bit of undesirable local guys there that were quite shady looking. I kept driving and as I drove by American Bar I saw a beautiful girl walking back to her room with her lunch. I pulled up and ended up going to her room. She worked at Copacabana. She was awesome, and I was very happy with her. I spent $30 plus a $10 tip. The best GFE I got in Aruba. I did not get her whatsapp number but wished I had. Later that night I messaged girl on Whatsapp that I had met on badoo. She was a VZ an I met her near Gusto's at 11 pm. She came back to hotel with me for 120 and was total wrapper. Beautiful with great body but not much else to talk about.

Tuesday, I drove down to San Nicholas and had lunch at Charlie's. After lunch the pickings were slim around 3 pm, and I ended up settling on a girl with braces at Caracas Bar. She was terrible and her room was pretty bad too. The living conditions in this place were much worse than others I have been too.

Wednesday, I decided to take the night off from Mongering and got drunk instead and partied with some local ladies who I had met on a previous trip. There were about 30 VZ's outside of Gusto's around midnight. Seems like there was lots of them on this trip. They were all trying to get my attention but I was with my local friends.

Thursday night I used Yap Yum and got a VZ girl delivered to my room for $150. Gene was easy to work with through Whatsapp. He sent me pics of 4 women and I picked one. She was very nice and of course spoke no English. It's a good thing I know a small amount of Spanish. She was very hot, and we had a lot of fun. Not a full GFE but decent.

Summary-San Nicholas was still active during the day, and there are plenty of VZ's at night up in Palm Beach. Not the best mongering destination but can still have a good time.
