About This Guide
Aruba has embraced pet-friendly travel with open arms, and these hotels lead the pack. Whether you're traveling with a Great Dane or a Chihuahua, each property on our list has been vetted for genuine pet welcome — not just a grudging 'pets allowed' policy, but thoughtful amenities that make your companion feel as pampered as you. Our top pick, Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino, stands out for its dedicated pet concierge service and custom pet beds. Amsterdam Manor Boutique Hotel offers a particularly impressive pet menu, while Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort & Spa provides a private garden area perfect for morning walks. When choosing a pet-friendly hotel in Aruba, location matters as much as pet policy. We've prioritised properties near parks, walking trails, and pet-friendly restaurants so you and your companion can explore together without constant taxi rides back to the hotel.

Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Oranjestad
The Renaissance's centrepiece is a genuinely magical amenity: a private island accessible only to hotel guests, fringed by a flamingo beach that has become one of the Caribbean's most iconic images. The hotel's twin towers span an Ocean Suites tower with rooftop pool and a Marina Hotel closer to the private island ferry — together forming Aruba's most characterful urban resort.
Eagle Beach
A charming Dutch colonial-style boutique hotel sitting just steps from Eagle Beach, Amsterdam Manor offers intimate, romantically styled rooms and suites around a central pool courtyard. The property's small scale means service is personal and warm; the award-winning Gasparito Restaurant, set in an authentic cunucu house, serves exceptional local cuisine within walking distance.
Palm Beach
Set on a prime Palm Beach plot, the Hyatt Regency offers 360 generous rooms, a cascading waterfall pool complex, and the Stillwater spa among the island's best amenities. Camp Hyatt's children's programme makes it particularly suited to families, while the beachfront Red Sail Aruba restaurant delivers reliable seafood in a spectacular open-air setting.
Palm Beach
The Aruba Marriott anchors the northern end of Palm Beach with 413 comfortable rooms, a sprawling pool complex, and a large casino that draws both guests and island visitors. The resort's beachfront position on one of Palm Beach's best stretches, combined with multiple dining options and the full Marriott service infrastructure, make it a reliable all-round choice for families and groups.
Boardwalk is the most charming small hotel on Aruba — 45 individual casitas with fully equipped kitchenettes nestled in garden grounds a five-minute walk from Palm Beach. The absence of pretension, the genuinely welcoming staff, and the pretty pool courtyard create an atmosphere closer to visiting a very hospitable friend's home than staying in a conventional hotel.
Palm Beach
Divi Aruba is a classic Caribbean all-inclusive that has been welcoming families and couples to Druif Beach for decades. Low-rise buildings, lush gardens, and multiple pools characterise the resort's pleasantly unhurried setting. The beach here — calmer and wider than much of Palm Beach — is a genuine asset, and the included meals at four restaurants hit a consistent standard.
