Hotels near Boca Grandi Beach

"Secrets Baby Beach Aruba ranking an 8.2 is a giveaway that some reviewers don’t actually understand Aruba. My family has been coming here for decades and we now own a home on the island; I’ve stayed for weeks at a time at nearly every major property—Palm Beach high-rises (Hyatt, Marriott, Ritz), Eagle Beach low-rises, every major timeshare (Divi, Casa del Mar, ABC), boutique spots like Manchebo, and even checked out JOIA—and this is easily the nicest hotel in Aruba. Baby Beach is hands-down the best beach on the island for swimming and chilling: calm, shallow, crystal-clear water with none of the Palm Beach chaos. The complaints come from people expecting “action” on the quiet side of the island; if your idea of nightlife is a few guys drinking until 1am in a Palm Beach bar, you booked the wrong resort (and maybe the wrong beach). Secrets is for honeymoons, anniversaries, birthdays, and couples who actually want to relax. Think the EDITION brand—ultra-modern, design-forward, polished, calm and actually is all-inclusive, and the food is included and exceptional. On a very small island with a limited supply chain, Secrets somehow delivers the best food in Aruba: four excellent dinner restaurants, outstanding Italian (best risotto on the island—my partner is Italian), the strongest buffet I’ve seen here, and sushi that’s shockingly good for the Caribbean. Aruba is about weather, beaches, and unwinding - Secrets is a 10 as good as it gets. "
