Boardwalk Aruba Honored as Small Caribbean Hotel of the Year in 2024 Travel Awards

Aruba Online News – Boardwalk Boutique Hotel Aruba has achieved prestigious recognition as the Small Caribbean Hotel of the Year in the 2024 Caribbean Journal Travel Awards. The annual awards, highlighting outstanding performers in tourism and hospitality across the region, have bestowed this esteemed title upon Boardwalk Boutique Hotel for its meticulous commitment to hospitality.

Tucked away in the lush gardens of a former coconut plantation in Palm Beach, Boardwalk Boutique Hotel impressed the Caribbean Journal jury, who remarked, “You can spend a week here and not find a single flaw. That’s how meticulous the commitment is here to hospitality, a place where everything is so friendly, so smoothly done, so creative that going to any other hotel is a bit of an adjustment. This collection of casita-style cottages in a lush oasis-style setting near Aruba’s Palm Beach is just that good.”

The 10th edition of the Caribbean Journal’s Caribbean Travel Awards serves as a regional celebration of travel and tourism excellence, recognizing individuals and destinations contributing to the Caribbean’s remarkable success. Boardwalk stands out as the only hotel in Aruba to be ranked on this year’s list, while Aruba itself claimed the title of ‘Honeymoon Destination of the Year.’

Kimberly Rooijakkers, hotel manager, and co-owner of Boardwalk Boutique Hotel expressed gratitude for the award, stating, “We are thrilled, honored, and flattered to receive this award from the most in-the-know publication when it comes to Caribbean hospitality. At Boardwalk, we do it our way, providing added value and dedicating energy to elements that make a Caribbean vacation unique, truly comfortable, and authentic. We truly appreciate receiving this acknowledgment from Caribbean Journal for what we do.”
