It felt like we were in a tropical oasis ♡♡ this property is intentional and so well thought out. A great "adult" escape. Our room was spacious and clean, the pools are secluded and accessible 24/7, the entire staff was helpful and friendly, there's beach transport & access, and lastly, the Coco Café never missed !! Each meal we ordered was chef's kiss !! Would highly recommend the private dinner experience or the breakfast tower for your casita's patio; perfect way to take in the natural beauty.

Beautiful boutique hotel with semi-private feeling to the casitas and the greenery. Definitely do the BBQ boxes. Cafe was great, lots of options and reasonably priced for the type of place (NY prices). Beach palapas can be reserved with service from the Cafe. Pool was pretty too and they hosted happy hour cocktails. Adults only, so mostly couples and adult families were there. Super easy to get to from the airport via taxi (around 20mins $31-38 plus tip).
The pillows and mattress were a little on the tired side, but everything was clean. We prefer firmer pillows so its nice when hotels offer spare/additional options.

The property was lush, beautiful, and laid back.
We weren’t right on the beach, but a close walk (across the street)

Everything and Everyone. The rooms were spacious, private, clean and very comfortable. Restaurant on premises was very convenient. Located a very short block from the beach.
I can not think of a thing.

It’s remote yet across the street from a gorgeous beach. The gardens are lush and the casitas feel very private. The staff is friendly. The small restaurant had excellent food.

Very private, lush gardens around casitas, pool area very private, quaint, location, staff, private beach with huts for sun protection, chairs provided to take to other beaches. Breakfast was delicious.
Need a car and can’t walk right out onto the beach, but still walking distance to hotel beach.

Feels like a little oasis off the beaten path but still close enough to the action that you can get anywhere. Loved the pool and short walk to the beach.

This was my sister and my second trip to Aruba this year. Your resort was top notch!! The front desk ladies were always very friendly and helpful. The prompt availability of taxi service and shuttle to the beach was greatly appreciated.
We realize that there is not a lot that can be done about the mosquitoes, but that was the one thing that was unpleasant. We just wouldn't return during the rainy season. Not exaggerating, between my sister and I probably have 100 bites. So because of that we felt that we were not able to enjoy sitting outside on the deck. Overall, our stay was super pleasant and we would recommend Boardwalk to our friends.
