Aruba Surfside Marina
Ocean-front apartments minutes from two beaches
About this hotel
Travellers staying here will find apartments and studios that open onto a garden overlooking the sea, with air-conditioning, a ceiling fan, flat-screen cable TV and an open balcony with garden views. Kitchenettes carry a fridge, microwave and coffee maker, letting a beachfront breakfast happen on the balcony instead of a restaurant. Surfside Beach sits at the doorstep and Niki Beach is a five-minute walk, while Betico Croes Square and Simon Bolivar Square are 180 metres away for a change of scene. The on-site Pinchos Grill & Bar serves international grilled food, and diving, snorkelling and fishing can all be arranged directly through the property.

- On-site grill restaurant
Our take
This suits travellers who want a longer, self-catered stay right on the water, with the kitchenette making a week-long visit realistic rather than a rushed weekend. Couples rate the location a 9.5 for a two-person trip. Anyone wanting a full hotel restaurant and daily housekeeping on a resort scale should look at one of Oranjestad's larger properties instead.
- Request an ocean-front unit specifically when booking, since not every apartment faces the water directly.
- Walk the five minutes to Niki Beach for a change of scene from Surfside Beach itself.
- Arrange diving, snorkelling or fishing directly through the property rather than booking separately elsewhere.
Why we love it
- Ocean-front garden setting
