My husband and I went there but I guess they were closed. Nothing was open in the area. Would have liked to see the area it was in.

My husband and I were looking for this Windmill but as you know if driving in Aruba there are NO street signs. We went up and down Palm Beach and Eagle Beach and then one day we turned around by mistake and there it was! Beautiful Windmill!

Well if you like feeling like you're on spring break and 20 years old again this is the place for you. Drink like an animal and dance the night away until 5 AM.

This attracting is closed. Look at it as you drive by and you've seen all you need to see. There was a nightclub in the building underneath but it is also closed.

Right in front of The Mill Resort. Great for photos. The oldest cigar shop on the island is also there. Worth a look.

Nothing special and it is not a wind mill just propellers on top of the building not very impressed at all, it looks like a windmill from a distance but once in front of it you realise it is not.

The wind mill itself is worth stopping by to see, including reading the history and viewing the two old mill stones that still stand nearby. However, the wind mill itself is now a night club, and during the day is surrounded by several shops selling thing such as cigars and a real estate agent.

This is a truly unique site to visit - a bit of the Netherlands/Holland - in the middle of ARUBA. If you have never seen a windmill by all means at least drive or walk by this one. It may not be exciting but it definitely is worth seeing.

Nothing spectacular, but a part of the local history. You could not come to Aruba and not stop at the WINDMILL and take a few pictures.
