About this place
Surrounded by the lush tropical gardens of Boardwalk Boutique Hotel, The Coco Café Aruba offers a dining experience that feels refreshingly connected to nature. Open to both hotel guests and outside visitors aged 18 and over, the restaurant combines Caribbean hospitality with a menu inspired by Aruban ingredients, Belgian traditions, and Mediterranean flavors. The open-air setting beneath palm trees creates a peaceful atmosphere that contrasts with the lively Palm Beach resort area just a short walk away.
From breakfast through dinner, the kitchen focuses on fresh, locally sourced ingredients supplied by Aruba’s farmers and producers whenever possible. Guests can enjoy everything from tropical smoothie bowls, avocado toast, and Belgian waffles to colorful salads, grilled seafood, gourmet burgers, pastas, and premium steaks. Vegan and gluten-friendly dishes are permanent features on the menu, making it an excellent choice for diners with different dietary preferences.
As evening arrives, The Coco Café transforms into a romantic garden restaurant illuminated by soft lighting and tropical surroundings. Live music on selected evenings adds to the relaxed ambiance, while handcrafted cocktails and attentive service encourage guests to linger over dinner. Poolside dining and barbecue boxes for Boardwalk’s private casitas further distinguish the restaurant from traditional cafés.
