Boardwalk Boutique Hotel Aruba
The accommodations are no mere rooms, but casitas, complete with kitchenettes or full kitchens, air conditioning, and private patios with barbecues and hammocks; some feature outdoor showers. The bright and breezy décor is lit by plentiful sunlight, and while the style leans in to the inspiration of the tropical locale, it feels fresh and full of personality.
There are two expansive pools, and the hotel maintains its own spot on Palm Beach, complete with palapas and lounge chairs, with food and drinks served by the neighboring Ritz-Carlton. And the meals are provided by Eduardo’s Beach Shack, a locally owned and family-run restaurant with expertise in light fare like smoothies and protein bowls as well as more conventional comfort-food options. And there’s more going on here than pure simple pleasure — the hotel’s Do-Good program offers ways guests can give back to Aruba, encompassing everything from switching off unnecessary lights to participating in beach cleanups or even adopting a stray local animal.

From the moment you step on the property, everything is so well-curated and manicured, you can't help but breathe a big sigh of vacation relief. The grounds are beautiful - tropical plants and trees everywhere; the pool is so nice to sit by, you'll forget there's an ocean paradise a block away; the room is very clean and comfortable; and the service is incredibly friendly. I can't wait to go back.
This hotel was totally lovely and met the description in Tablet to a “t”. Amazing grounds/landscaping. Really lush and natural. The property over all was very serene and calming. The main pool near our Casita was perfect temperature, perfect size (not huge) and the hammock over the pool was the best. Even sitting out there at night was magical. All the staff were delightful and accommodating. Everything was clean. Food (breakfast and lunch was healthy and delicious. Location was perfect, not right in center of all the action/noise but a short walk/ride away. And Palm Beach is across the street and beautiful.
