The Experience

I’ll be honest, I was kind of bracing myself for chaos at Queen Beatrix Airport. But the second I spotted my name on that sign (handwritten, not printed—somehow that made it friendlier), everything just slowed down. The driver—his name was Miguel—grinned, took my suitcase before I could even protest, and asked if I’d ever been to Aruba before. I hadn’t. He nodded like he already knew what that felt like.

The van smelled faintly like coconut air freshener, which made me laugh because outside it was all salty breeze and sunscreen. Air conditioning hit me in the face (thank god), and for a moment I just watched palm trees flicker past the window while Miguel pointed out a bakery he liked—he said their pastechi is “dangerous” if you’re hungry. It’s maybe a 20-minute drive to Palm Beach, but honestly I lost track; we talked about Carnival costumes and how wild traffic gets in February. For a private Aruba roundtrip airport transfer, it felt more like getting picked up by someone’s uncle than a service.

The return was just as smooth. Miguel texted the night before to confirm pickup time (he uses WhatsApp, which saved me from international call panic). There was this weird comfort in knowing exactly who’d show up—no last-minute scramble or line of taxis staring you down. If you’ve ever landed somewhere tired and sweaty, you know how much that matters. And yeah, I still think about that first whiff of coconut when we slid into the van after a long day in the sun.
