9 Best Hotels in Aruba, From Adults-Only Resorts to Family-Friendly All-Inclusives
"Set in a former coconut grove, The Boardwalk Boutique Hotel is locally owned and family-run by twin sisters Kimberly and Stephanie Rooijakkers who were born and raised in Aruba. While it's less than half a mile from the heavily populated Palm Beach, it somehow feels worlds away. The property features 50 casitas surrounded by lush, tropical landscaping, and is the ideal place to truly unplug. Expect to spot every type of traveler here, from groups of friends and families to honeymooners and solo travelers. While it's not directly on the sand, the resort is just minutes from the beach, accessible via a short walk or by the property's shuttle. The casitas are private, while still offering all the amenities of a resort, alongside rarities like kitchens and BBQs. If you choose to eat out, the on-site Coco Café is a laid-back outdoor restaurant serving classic Aruban culinary treats, Belgian items, and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine." - Jacqueline Dole
