Affiliate Disclosure

Transparency about our partnerships and recommendations

This Affiliate Disclosure outlines the affiliate relationships of ArubaBuddies.com with other companies and products. In compliance with the guidelines set forth by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), this page is intended to provide complete transparency regarding our use of affiliate links throughout this website.

Affiliate Links and How They Work

Some of the links you will find on ArubaBuddies.com are affiliate links. This means that if you click on one of these links and subsequently make a purchase or complete a booking, we may earn a small commission from the merchant or service provider. This commission is paid by the third party and does not result in any additional cost to you.

Affiliate marketing is a common method used by websites to generate revenue. It allows us to continue producing content, maintaining the website, and offering helpful travel-related information free of charge to users.

Identifying Affiliate Links

To make it as easy and transparent as possible for our users, we have implemented a visual indicator for external links throughout our website. Links that lead to external websites (outside of ArubaBuddies.com) are marked with an external link icon to help you identify when you are leaving our site.

Our Transparency Commitment:

You can generally assume that external links marked with the icon are affiliate links. This is our standard practice to help you identify which links may result in a commission for ArubaBuddies.

Please note that while we have made every effort to consistently mark all external affiliate links with this icon, it is possible that some affiliate links may not have the icon due to unintentional oversight. If you notice any external links without the icon, we encourage you to assume they may be affiliate links as well.

Internal links (those that navigate within ArubaBuddies.com) do not have this icon and are never affiliate links. These links help you explore more content on our website.

Affiliate Relationships

We are affiliated with a number of companies in the travel, retail, and booking industries. These may include, but are not limited to:

  • Tour and activity booking platforms (e.g., Viator)
  • Accommodation booking services (e.g., VRBO)
  • Online marketplaces (e.g., Amazon)
  • Restaurant reservation platforms
  • Travel gear and accessory retailers

Whenever you see a product, service, or experience recommended on ArubaBuddies.com, and it includes a link to a third-party website, please assume it may be an affiliate link unless otherwise noted.

Our Approach to Recommendations

While we may receive compensation through affiliate links, we strive to ensure that our recommendations are based on value, relevance, and potential benefit to the traveler. We do not receive free products or payment in exchange for positive coverage, nor are we obligated to feature any specific partner.

We aim to suggest experiences, accommodations, tours, and products that align with the interests and needs of our audience. Our content is created with editorial integrity, and we do not allow compensation to influence our opinions or recommendations.

However, you should always do your own research and make decisions based on your personal travel preferences, budget, and needs. ArubaBuddies is not responsible for the services or quality of products provided by third-party vendors.

Transparency and User Trust

We believe that transparency with our audience is critical. The inclusion of affiliate links does not affect the price you pay, and in many cases, using our affiliate links may provide you with access to special discounts or curated options.

By using this website, you acknowledge that you understand our use of affiliate links and agree to the terms outlined in this disclosure.
