Boardwalk Boutique Hotel Explores Aruba with Treasure Map Challenge
Boardwalk Boutique Hotel recently launched the Treasure Map Challenge in Aruba, a unique initiative designed to immerse staff in the island’s best experiences. Through this interactive adventure, team members explored Aruba’s top tours, dining spots, and activities—just as guests would. The challenge reinforced Boardwalk’s commitment to authentic hospitality while strengthening connections with local partners.
Discovering Aruba’s Top Experiences
The Treasure Map Challenge was inspired by Boardwalk’s exclusive Treasure Map, a guest resource highlighting Aruba’s best restaurants, tours, and activities. Each team selected a dining experience, a guided excursion, and a self-guided adventure to discover Aruba like a visitor. This hands-on approach provided firsthand knowledge to enhance future guest recommendations.

Several Aruba tour operators and local businesses contributed to this challenge, ensuring a well-rounded exploration of the island’s unique attractions. Participating partners included:
- Outdoor Adventures: Climbing Hooiberg, admiring San Nicolas street art, and visiting Arikok National Park
- Excursions & Tours: Tranquilo Sailing, Monforte Luxury Cruise, Aruba Walking Tours, and Fusion of the World Food Tour
- Wellness & Activities: Aruba Wellness Therapies, Butterfly Farm, Vela Aruba, and Aruba Active Vacations
- Dining Experiences: Infini, Caya, Atardi, Quinta Del Carmen, West Deck, Fish House, and Barefoot
Strengthening Hospitality Through Learning
Beyond the fun, the Treasure Map Challenge in Aruba deepened staff knowledge, making guest recommendations more authentic and personalized. Each team created presentations with photos and videos, which are now being used to train the wider Boardwalk team. This initiative fosters engagement, teamwork, and expertise, ensuring guests receive the best local insights.
The winning team, recognized for the most engaging presentation, was rewarded with a two-night stay at Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort.
