A Love Letter to our Guests And Thank You to Vote Us Best of the Best Top 25 Hotels
Ever since we, two Aruba-born twin sisters, took over Boardwalk in 2011 while it was a very low key vacation retreat and surfers paradise with 13 casitas and a total staff of six, we made it our mission to deliver the best possible service, overall cleanliness and most memorable vacation experiences in Aruba.

From surf retreat to boutique hotel
Fast forward to 2024. We didn’t sit still over the last thirteen years. Improvements included a major overhaul of our overall product and amenites, rebranding to a boutique hotel, expanding to 48 casitas and a staff of 50+, adding a dedicated beach for Boardwalk guests and an all-day restaurant and bar, The Coco Café. Needless to say our following on social media and review platforms grew simultaneously.
