Hello,

Does anyone know if it is possible to get access to Fontein (and how to do so)? I have been reading about the fresh water pools and other sites there and would like to explore there, but I have read that access has been off and on.

Any info and good directions would be appreciated.

Thanks, Janet

It is not open and belongs to the Mansur family in Aruba. It would make a wonderful park and recreation area. Anyone want to raise money and buy it..????

Thanks for the info, even though it means we can't look forward to seeing the area.

I remember years ago we got to visit the area and the pools were all empty , but still able to enter the " cave " with little plastic hard hats and see some birds in cages..the plantings were beautiful and thought the site had great feeling, agree it would be a nice attraction if some work was put into it
