Aruba Sunset
Old saying: after rain comes sunshine [image by ArubaSalsa]

Yesterday morning it poured down in Aruba. The rain was too hard for me to go out with a camera. Others did though. All in all Aruba received 1.7 inches of rain yesterday morning, according to the local weather service. As a reminder, Aruba receives average 16 inches of rain a year. All is well though. Water receded in the majority of the primary roads and the sea seems to have calm down to regular proportions.

La Cabana Racquet and Beach Club is currently undergoing big changes. The resort is in the midst of an all-out renovation round. Additionally the resort is reviewing the units within its core business. After the review it appeared that the department of Food & Beverage is losing money where the owners reportedly found themselves forced to cut in that department. The resort used to be the largest one in Aruba when La Cabana Villas - now The Aruban Resort - was part of the whole complex. The majority of the bars and restaurants were located at La Cabana Resort. Since the split two years ago, La Cabana’s F&B remained the same size staff. According to La Cabana they find themselves forced to cut jobs. Layoffs in Aruba are highly unusual, especially in the hospitality industry.

Lastly, I would like to end the week with a hot deal I came across recently. Highly regarded Aruba Radisson Resort is offering ‘Early Winter Sale’. This deal includes a slashing of the nightly prices by as much as $190 per day! Click for more information ยป
