Boardwalk Small Hotel Maybe you’ve been to Aruba before, maybe you’ve been to the bigger hotels. Maybe you’re looking for something different. That’s where the Boardwalk comes in. This is Aruba’s premier boutique hotel, a cozy, funky, happy little hotel set in a sea of coconut trees just a few minutes’ walk from Palm Beach. The story here is the colorful, comfortable “casitas” and the warm, boutique service. Even better? The hotel offers its own beach service and chairs on Palm Beach.
