voco Surfside Aruba
Mid-size hotel by Surfside Beach, near the airport · L.G. Smith Blvd 2, Oranjestad, Aruba
Why it's on our list
A 69-room hotel on the edge of Oranjestad, about 150 m from Surfside Beach and roughly 3 km from the airport, run under IHG's voco brand in the building long known as the Talk of the Town. It suits short stays, first and last nights, and travellers who want town and a calm beach without resort prices.
voco Surfside Aruba occupies the hotel that for more than six decades traded as the Talk of the Town, on L.G. Smith Boulevard where Oranjestad meets the airport road. IHG lists 69 rooms in four categories, from standard and premium rooms to one- and two-bedroom suites; rooms have a microwave and fridge. There is an outdoor pool, The Nook restaurant (07:00–22:00), free Wi-Fi and free on-site parking, though only 12 spaces. Designated rooms accept pets for a fee.
The hotel is not on the sand, but Surfside Beach is about 150 m away: a small beach with calm, shallow water. The seaside path of the Linear Park runs from here into downtown, so you can walk or cycle to the centre.
Location
The address is L.G. Smith Blvd 2, at the eastern edge of Oranjestad, roughly 3 km from Queen Beatrix International Airport (IHG figure). Downtown sights such as Fort Zoutman are a short drive or a longer walk along the waterfront; for Eagle Beach and Palm Beach you will need a car, taxi or bus.
