Boardwalk, Small Hotel ArubaOur Story for ATA Representatives of the USA
How it all started
✤ In 1991, based on a former coconut plantation, a young couple started renting out the original plantation house to vacationers
✤ With a strong focus on the windsurfing tourism niche market they slowly but truly grew their business from 1 to 13 “Casitas”
✤ “Casitas” are vacation houses, each with a fully equipped kitchen, living area, bathroom, separate bedroom and private patio with outside dining, BBQ & hammock
The discovery
✤ A couple of years ago my sister, my dad and I discovered a tropical oasis, located at the end of Palm Beach. It was love at first sight!
✤ A garden so lush, tropical and incredible beautiful, we couldn’t believe we hadn’t discovered it before
✤ In 2011 the previous owners were looking for new owners
How it all continued
✤ Stephanie & Kimberly took over Boardwalk mid 2011
✤ The grounds, layout & gardens were beautiful, but the “Casitas” were in need of renovation
✤ Fall 2012 all houses were completely renovated
