While visiting the island on a cruise ship with another couple, we had decided that we wanted to visit a more local beach and bar area instead of heading to where everyone else on the cruise ship was going. We read great things about this...Beach Bar & Restaurant on Tripadvisor and decided this was going to be our spot for the day. We are so glad we did. We walked from the port. It is a little bit of a walk but it wasn't awful. It did take us over an hour, but we made some quick stops at some vendors and bars along the way. We did end up taking a cab back to the ship. Make sure you take time to dry off before getting into the cab, which the staff advised us of prior to calling the taxi for us. The clientele here was a mix of all nationalities, which was so fun. We actually only met one other American couple the whole time we were here. We also met a few cruise ship employees from another ship who said they come here whenever they port in Aruba, which I think says a lot for the place. There are lots of options for seating here. You can grab a table at the beach; on the patio area; at a bar stool on dry land or in the swim-up pool bar; or on the beach at a table, in a chair, or in a lounger. You have the option to get as much sun or shade as you want or need. We started our day with some appetizers and buckets of Balashi Beer at a table on the beach. The food was good and reasonably priced. The beer was delicious and ice cold. We tried a couple new foods and really liked them. After eating, we decided to enjoy the beach for a little bit. The water was refreshing and pretty calm. The beach was beautiful with nice clean sand. There were tons of spots to sit at tables, beach chairs, and loungers. We even saw a plane flying over the water near us into the nearby airport. We really liked this beach. We then decided to move the party to the swim-up pool bar, which was super clean and just slightly cool (perfect). There were only a few people in the pool at any given part of the day. We never waited for drinks. The staff were always on top of making sure we were taken care of. The bar had lively music playing in the background. We were enjoying ourselves so much here that we didn't get out of the pool until shortly before we had to head back to the cruise ship, except to go to the bathroom. By the way, the bathroom doors here have some nice eye candy on them. lol We continued with the buckets of beer for most of the day for a good price. We also had a few fruity shots at the recommendation of the staff and even had a round bought for us by the owner, which were all yummy. Speaking of the staff, have I said how amazing they were. The were always smiling, joking with us, taking and posing for pics for and with us, and even did some funny photo bombing in the background, which we found after we came home. I can honestly say the service could not have been better anywhere else. This is a slice of paradise in Aruba that we are blessed to have been so lucky to visit. We would not hesitate to recommend a visit to this Beach Side paradise to anyone.More

The service was good. We were greeted with a smile and seated immediately. The restaurant offers several different options for seating. Bar/restaurant or beach. We visited 3 separate times and sat in different locations each time. We were there for sun and some beach time....While there we had drinks and had appetizers. Moderately priced drinks and the food was good. Because we went 3 separate times (at different times of the day) we saw a different atmosphere each time. Very laid back and casual during the day which is exactly what we wanted. As it gets later in the day the cliental changes and the atmosphere seems to gravitate to the crowd. We were lucky enough to catch them on a night they had a bad. Great music and an even better time. I've been going to Aruba since '93; I can honestly say Reflextions is a new addition (or tradition) that we will have each time we return to the Island.More

My husband & I stayed within walking distance to Reflexions. We had amazing service and food. We met the owner & son who interacts with the people. I’m definitely hanging out here in July. It’s First class & relaxing. You won’t want to leave 💗🇦🇼
