The Aruba Tourism Board recently hosted me for an exclusive visit around their “Happy Island”. It truly lived up to their tagline! During this opportunity, I was able to visit 15 hotels. While all were fabulous to tour, several really caught my eye as wonderful gems for our clients. One of these gems is Boardwalk Hotel Aruba. This boutique hotel features one and two bedroom casitas.

As soon as you enter the lobby, you will be surrounded by lush, tranquil gardens. The quiet, laid back atmosphere is perfect for adults only or families looking for relaxation amongst their adventures in paradise. The best part is that this oasis is just yards away from the white sands of Palm Beach as well as the shopping and dining/nightlife experiences. In your casita, you will find a fully equipped kitchen, dining and living spaces in addition to the bedroom and bathroom. Step out onto your private patio where you can lounge in your hammock or enjoy a meal made on your BBQ grill. Around the grounds of this former coconut plantation you will find two pools, a yoga deck, a fitness studio as well as a smoothie/ acai bowl bar by famed Eduardo’s. My favorite is the special Palapa Lodge sitting atop the fitness studio featuring a 360° wrap around thatched roof terrace with gorgeous beach views. This is the serenity you deserve!

If Aruba is on your “to visit” list, let Upon A Star Travel help you to get there! I know you’ll love it as much as I did!
