We just got back from a six night stay at The Boardwalk. We could not have been happier. We are a family of five (3 children: 9, 7, 5 yrs old and Mom and Dad) and The Boardwalk suited all of our needs. We were in Casita Number 8, a two bedroom/two bath house. The casita has everything you need.... more

We researched where to stay in Aruba and preferred not to stay in the cookie-cutter high rise hotels. I learned about the Boardwalk Boutique Hotel on TripAdvisor and contacted them directly for availability and reservations. Every single experience with this hotel was pleasant and wonderful, from booking to our arrival and during our stay. The hotel is located behind the... more

I just spent 10 days at the Boardwalk Retreat with a girlfriend whose move out of the province means we don't see each other much anymore. We decided we deserved a 10 day "Mom Camp" and chose The Boardwalk as our venue. I am a 19 time visitor to Aruba, my friend has been to Aruba only once before but... more

My husband and I just returned from our first trip to Aruba and our stay at the Boardwalk was wonderful! The owners have obviously put a lot of thought and time into their beautiful "retreat" to make it a fantastic place to stay. The intimate atmosphere and charm could not possibly be duplicated by the large resorts and timeshares that... more

One man’s ceiling is another man’s floor We we’re told that we were reserving a little studio with a sea view and technically it’s true. When you look out from the rusted stairway you do see the water shimmering on the horizon. Had we brought some powerful binoculars we might even have been able to see the beach. If sea... more

This is a gem of a resort! It truly makes you feel as if you are part of the island and not just a guest in another hotel. This was our fourth trip to the island and previously we had stayed at the renaissance marina hotel (very nice) and the marriott surf club (great condo living) but this time, we... more

Our family of five (including a 4 year old, 5 year old and 6 year old) stayed for 8 days in late January/early February, along with some friends who were traveling with their two children (ages 2 & 5) and their parents. We occupied half of the resort that week! It was a fantastic place to stay. Our friends have... more

The Aruba Boardwalk was just perfect for our trip there this past January. We wanted a low-cost option that would allow us to cook and eat in whenever we wanted, and didn't care that much about being by the beach. True to our desire, the Boardwalk filled every need. Our suite had a large living area where we hung out... more

Tucked away within a couple of blocks from Palm beach is one of Aruba's best kept secrets. The Boardwalk is family owned and operated and a lovely tranquil getaway from the crowded, casino-dominated beach hotels. There is nearby bus access to town and the hotel is within walking distance to the restaurants in, and near, Palm beach's high-rise hotels. Each... more
