Boardwalk Small Hotel, Aruba
Sure, you could stay at a high-rise hotel smack on Palm Beach. But wouldn’t you rather bed down somewhere that offered an authentic taste of Aruba? Run by twin sisters, Boardwalk does just that with 14 spacious colorfully decorated casitas set on a former coconut plantation that’s near Fishermans Huts beach (and a quick walk to the marquee strand at Palm).
