voco Surfside Aruba by IHG
Private beach area two minutes from Surfside Beach
About this hotel
Travellers staying here will find family rooms with private balconies, air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi, close enough to Queen Beatrix International Airport that guests land, check in and reach the pool within the hour. The private beach area, year-round outdoor pool, hot tub and lounge give families a self-contained day without leaving the property, while the two-minute walk to Surfside Beach adds open sand whenever guests want it. The family-friendly restaurant serves international cuisine with vegetarian and vegan options, and breakfast includes fresh pastries, cheese, fruit and juice. Hooiberg Mountain sits five kilometres out and Arikok National Park thirteen, both close enough for a half-day detour.

- Family rooms with balconies
- Near Queen Beatrix Airport
Our take
This suits families who want a pool-and-beach combination without picking one or the other, and the short airport distance makes it practical for a trip that starts or ends with a flight. Travelers wanting a downtown, walkable address should look at one of Oranjestad's central hotels instead, since this property sits closer to the airport than the harbor district.
- Book a family room with a private balcony specifically if the view matters as much as the pool to your stay.
- Walk the two minutes to Surfside Beach for open sand rather than relying only on the private beach area.
- Check the family-friendly restaurant's vegetarian and vegan options in advance if dietary needs matter for your group.

Why guests love itFor a family trip to Aruba, voco Surfside Aruba covers the basics well: family rooms come with private balconies and air-conditioning, the outdoor pool is open year-round, and Surfside Beach is a two-minute walk, with a private beach area on top. The on-site restaurant serves vegetarian and vegan dishes, useful when everyone eats differently. I would pick it for short stays, since the airport is close, though it sits nearer the runway than the harbor district.
