From checkin to checkout, It was an INCREDIBLE 9 days at The Boardwalk! The property is stunning (inside and out) - very well maintained and very safe and secure, as it is gated.
To start, Genesis was incredible. She always had a smile on her face and was willing to help when needed. With that said, everyone who worked the front desk was excellent to work with. All around, we only encountered great people in all working areas of the property.
Two things that are a MUST about this property is getting a massage at the spa and eating at Coco Cafe (the restaurant on property).
My partner and I did the Self Love spa package and it was worth every penny plus some! Liliana and Paola were hands down one of the best massages we have ever had. Liliana did a relaxing massage and Paola did a deep tissue massage. Both were over the top amazing!
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the Coco Cafe were some of the best meals we had while in Aruba. The Manager, Coliene, was very nice and friendly to speak with. Marijn was our waitress a few times and was very attentive and had a great personality. Ruby was also another great worker in the restaurant. She had great energy and always ensured your area was clean, food was brought out quickly, and your water was refilled. Many props to the Chef - as every dish was beautifully presented and top notch across the board!
We spent much of our time at the beach where the service we received on the beach by Ferry, Diego and Julen was unmatched.

We had a fantastic stay at Boardwalk Boutique Hotel. The beautiful, tropical grounds are immaculately maintained, and the pool area was always clean, peaceful, and relaxing.

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and the breakfast was excellent every morning. Our casita was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable.

Don't let the short walk to the beach put you off—it's an easy stroll to a quieter section of Palm Beach with amazing views, you can book a palapa the day before, although we always found one available, even when we forgot to book it.

There are plenty of restaurants nearby within walking distance.

We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

We were so happy to stay at the Boardwalk hotel in Aruba for a quiet, beautiful, laid back yet still luxe experience. The casitas were lovely, spacious well designed and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. The gardens are beautifully maintained and the pool is relaxing and a great spot for happy hour. We enjoyed our breakfasts at the Coco Cafe and relaxing under our palapa on the beach during the day. It is an easy walk across the street to the private beach but a shuttle is offered if you need it. The water on the private beach is turquoise and extremely calm (if a bit shallow). It was well worth it to stay at the Boardwalk Hotel especially if you are not a huge fan of humongous chain resorts, this property is extra special and ticks all the boxes,

I just simply cannot believe how wonderful this hotel was! Everything was meticulously clean and the landscaping was beautiful! The casitas were well stocked. They provided water bottles and even a pitcher of iced tea upon our arrival. The service here is top notch. The check in process was easy and they explained everything about the property and escorted us to our casita and explained even more. There is a nice shuttle to the beach but the walk is only 3 minutes. The shuttle is nice if you have a packed cooler (which they provide). They provide beach service for drinks and food and the lounge chairs have nice cushions on them! The pools are wonderful and relaxing. They even had a sunset happy hour on the beach Monday night with free drinks and snacks and a saxophone player providing music! I would 100% stay here again and will tell anyone I know of that is planning a trip to Aruba to stay here.

From chocolate covered strawberries to champagne, they made it their mission for this trip to be romantic. Coco Cafe has some really good food. Happy hour by the pool was also really nice. Clean rooms and great location (a block away from the beach). Would love to go back again.

This property was perfect for a low-key vacation. It was close to everything and the beach was easy to walk to across the street. Boardwalk beats the Marriott and the Ritz that are right across the street. It is a better environment, and the service is the best. They staff does a great job making it a perfect experience and creating a relaxing environment.

This is hands down the our favorite place to stay in Aruba. The whole property is your own private oasis-no kids, the property is stunning & gated, it is peaceful but with great energy, and the staff is so friendly & always happy to help. The walk to the beach is only 5 minutes and they have a non-stop beach shuttle to drive you across the street if you do not want to walk. The private beach is the least crowded and awlays has staff there to deliver you lunch and or drinks. The amenities are made for a great beach week- coolers in every room, reusable water bottles for each guest, super easy transportation, etc. The only place in Aruba we will stay!!

Boardwalk is a beautiful place with an incredible staff that is super-responsive to the guests. The casitas are roomy, have a kitchenette which is really handy for leftovers, etc., and a nice menu for lunch and dinner. The only downside is that it's not right on the ocean--there's a little shuttle that takes you to the beach, or you can walk there in about five minutes. Always enough palapas by the pool and by the beach!

This hotel is an oasis of palm trees. pools., beauty, and privacy in an area which is otherwise covered with towering hotels, casinos and parking lots in an arid desert terrain. Service and dining are of the very highest level and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. If you want to experience the dining and nightlife it is only 4 - 5 minute safe stroll to that world..

\"Boardwalk\" refers to the wooden pathway which connect the well appointed and immaculate chateaus .

First it was Adult Only.
Very relaxed atmosphere. Room design was very chill. Walking around facility tropical in a very arid environment. The ads do not do this place justice.
Check in was great. Pool area is a bit small but very relaxed and beach was just across the street and amazing!
You do need to rent a car. But area is easy to navigate. Lots of big hotels near and lots of dining options but hotel dining was very good.
Breakfast can be challenging but really this place is made for relaxation so keep the vibe and be chill and enjoy environment.

This hotel is so special. It’s a hidden away little gem surrounded by lush vegetation, flowers, and other plants. You feel like you’re in the middle of a little tropical forrest. It’s especially beautiful in contrast to the big austere hotels in the area. We had such a lovely time that was unfortunately cut short due to a family emergency.

The main pool is beautiful. We loved the choice to not play music and instead leave us with some peace and stillness. Also, the birds and other wildlife provided a nice little soundtrack.

I think my only complaints would be that the surrounding area is slightly annoying to walk around. A lot of dirt roads, some traffic areas, but cabs are plentiful and quick. Every establishment will call you one as well with no complaint. We would be tired after each day and would have liked to have a little more in terms of room service food options but truly, that’s barely a complaint because the food was really great.

Beyond this, it was a true relaxing experience that we will treasure. It was especially significant considering the state of the world right now. I didn’t think I’d be able to relax and turn my brain off but Boardwalk Boutique created the kind of atmosphere and safe space for me to do that. We hope to return.

little slice of Aruban heaven

this is the perfect place to stay in Aruba for a couple. It is a smaller hotel with its own stretch of beach so no fighting for chairs and palapas. The sig up process is very easy and there were plenty available. It is in a part of the beach that is not too busy but close to the bustle if that is what you want. The property is lovely, quiet and serene and the staff was very friendly. Will definitely return.

Boardwalk Boutique is an incredible Arubian secret spot. Its lush vegetation transports you to a world away from the touristy hotel area to your own private paradise. We cannot say enough good things about the staff, location, food, or property! Do not pass up the opportunity to experience this amazing resort!! We will definitely be back. Mashi danki to all who work here (especially Suzanne, Arianne, and Julen - you rock!) and treated us as if we were your only guests.

Absolutely beautiful gardens surround each of the Casitas, perfectly manicured and lush, providing an amazing backdrop to a tropical vacation. Service unparalleled, beach just a few steps (or free shuttle ride) away, food and drink at the hotel and within the vicinity were outstanding. We even stocked our fridge with some breakfast pastries, lunch options for on the go, and sweets and treats from Super Food just a few minute taxi ride away. Outstanding week and we will be back. One of the most (if not the most) relaxing hotel experiences we've ever had.

We were so happy with the Boardwalk

We were so happy with the Boardwalk. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the service, friendliness and hospitality of all the staff (bar none) was excellent. Our room was stunningly decorated, spacious, immaculately clean and contained everything we needed. The reception staff booked an airport pick up, hire car, several taxis and a morning scuba dive for us and each of these went like clockwork. The staff were also helpful with dinner recommendations and how to best deal with an unexpected medical concern. We also loved having ChiChi take us to the beach (even though it's only a short walk away), the inclusive beach palapa's (sun shade and loungers) plus Henry the chicken and Fluffy the cat wandering between the tables at the onsite bar/cafe/restaurant.

The Boardwalk is a unique place to stay in Aruba. Your casita is surrounded by tropical plants which gives a more island feel than a big hotel. The rooms were large and very clean. And only a three minute walk to the beach. Highly recommend!!

This place is a beautifully landscaped property with only 50 rooms. You truly feel like you’re in a jungle. Same amenities of a chain luxury hotel without the “corporate” feeling. Will definitely book again.

Bon Bini Birthday!

Amazing property, friendly staff, great food and adorable rooms. We loved the location and peacefulness of the hotel and room. We had a Coco Casita with a patio and it was cleaned daily. We also enjoyed the short walk to the beach and the drinks on the beach (served by the Ritz next door via segway). The pools were clean and temperature was perfect. The tropical grounds of the property were breathtaking and relaxing. We enjoyed celebrating my husbands birthday and cant wait to come back in the future!

I highly recommend this property. It was everything we hoped and more. Friendly staff everywhere. Great Happy Hour around the pool. Tropical oasis even though you are next to a road. Easy walk to beach or take the chi chi provided by the hotel. Free use of towels for beach or pool. Cooler in every room for use at the beach. Absolutely amazing!!

It was like a little slice of heaven! What a beautiful, tropical oasis on a desert island. Walking the meandering pathways made of stone and wooden boardwalk planks was like stepping into a tropical storybook setting. With palms swaying in the breeze, pink flowering plants, and pastel colored casitas, we felt instant tranquility. The 2 pools with private nooks to lounge surrounded by a lush garden and the fabulous poolside service for delicious island food and drinks was a treat to the eyes and palate. At night, the setting becomes even more magical as the landscape lighting turns this tropical oasis into a beautiful work of art! We loved every minute of our time at the Boardwalk Boutique Hotel!

Wonderful vacation at the Boardwalk Boutique hotel

We had a wonderful stay. Staff is very friendly and helpful in every way. Food is delicious at the restaurant. The \"casitas\" rooms are comfortable and include a small kitchenette. Our only complaint was the pillows were hard and our bed creaked very loudly when we rolled over.The beach was a very close walk, or you could take the free shuttle. We enjoyed both the ocean and the pool.

Our only complaint was the pillows were hard and our bed creaked very loudly when we rolled over. Woke me up every time my husband moved, but I'm a light sleeper. My sister stayed there as well, but her bed was fine so it was just ours. The beach was a very close walk, or you could take the free shuttle. We enjoyed both the ocean and the pool.

This a quiet peaceful place in a private setting. It’s so much better than big box hotels. Our casita was spacious, well equipped and lovely. Absolutely spotless- the whole property is well maintained. The staff friendly but not intrusive. Perfect place to renew what needs renewing.

It was our second time here & we will go back. Friendly & nice staff. Quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the hotel strip but close enough to walk to the other big hotels if you should need anything ie casino, sunset drink at the beach, etc. Nice job collaborating with the Ritz for beachside service… they were also wonderful!

This was a great place to stay. Everyone has their own casita with great privacy. The grounds are lush and green and a great place to wander through. The beach is very close and only takes 5 minutes to walk to. The property is just outside the main hotel strip so the area is quite, but still close enough to all the restaurants and shops of the main strip.

My vacation here was amazing! I traveled solo and chose this place because I didn’t like the idea of leaving a big city in the US with high rises to go vacation in another high rise hotel. I was looking for a chill, laid-back, quiet experience and I got exactly that!

The staff were friendly, front desk was also resourceful and responsive! I got locked out twice after nights out and there was always someone on-call ready to let me in. A quick taxi ride will take you to the area where all the nightlife action is.

The casitas were beautiful, the cafe had many drinking and eating options, the hotel had a more nature & vacation feel to it.

10/10 experience I really enjoyed my stay and can’t wait to come back!

Overall A experience. Outstanding staff, facilities and beaches. Small things went a long way like refilling our water each morning and refilling our iced teas each morning which was complimentary. Taxis were limited which is my only critique. We wanted to do some eating where locals eat which made obtaining a taxi sometimes difficult but if planning to just stay local to the property, taxis aren’t needed.

Beautiful Property and Stay

What an amazing place! I am not a huge fan of large resorts and this small, boutique hotel exceeded all of my expectations. The design of the casitas, the property and gardens were so lovely. We especially enjoyed our private outdoor shower and happy hour at the pool. Don’t let the very short walk (or ride in the adorable chi chi shuttle) across the street to the beach deter you. The staff was amazing and so welcoming. If we return to Aruba, we won’t stay anywhere else.

Hotel is gorgeous, our casita was breathtaking. Loved our private shower, very romantic. The TV did a cool thing where it turned on a 360 degree axis too (fun). Amenities, spa, service were great. Not directly on the beach and the beach area for this hotel is next to the Ritz, shares the Ritz's crazy overpriced menu. However, the pool for this hotel is fantastic, really gorgeous and relaxing. Had a great stay.

This is a beautiful gated property! The casitas are so cute and they provide everything you could possibly need. The pool is very nice with lots of lounge chairs. The onsite cafe provides room service and services the pool area. The staff are so sweet and helpful. The hotel is literally across the street from the beach (like a 2 min walk). It's around the corner from a bustling nightlife scene with plenty of restaurants, bars, shopping, other hotels, etc. We will definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Aruba in the future.
