Malocafamily Is a travel, information, entertainment and mobile destination guide that fits in your pocket.
Malocafamily is about combining easy to use hi technologywith Aruba hospitality. The concept of Malocafamily.com has its origins in the Aruban hospitality tradition. That tradition is steeped in the habit and experience of welcoming thousands of people over hundreds of years to a small Caribbean island some fifteen to eighteen miles of the coast of Venezuela, South America. Back then, they were the Caiquietio Indians. They are not only reported to have had a strong culture, but are also largely described as peace loving, family oriented people, with a strong tradition of welcoming and accommodating others into their homes. The Caquetios lived in oval homes, in which one or more groups of people lived, or at times several families. Such an oval home was called a Maloca and represented the center from which the essence of life in Aruba was experienced and shared. While Arubans no longer live in Maloca’s, we still wish to welcome you and assure that you feel at home. Maloca, our product, is thus our way of welcoming you into our family and allowing you to experience all that Aruba is. Today the Caribbean Island enjoys over 1 million tourists to its shores and the majority of those guests have been North Americans returning year after year. The idea of Malocafamily is to combine, lifestyle, social networking and must have accessible information in one handy device while on holiday.

The Maloca which is a pocket device – smartphone PDA – made, designed and deployed by a Caribbean based technology and consulting company called the Grendon Mcgregor Group, based in Aruba. It is Aruba’s official mobile pocket and destination guide and offers much more than a local telephone call home, when you are abroad, or locally when you want to reach friends or family in another hotel. The Maloca holds hundreds of possibilities when it comes to dining, water sport, cabaret shows, shopping, nightclubs, bars, events, personal services and more.
