About Waffles Beach House
Waffles Beach House makes its waffles fresh to order with proper Belgian-style yeasted batter — crisp on the outside, fluffy inside, served warm with options ranging from classic powdered sugar to fully loaded sweet and savory builds. Beyond waffles, the menu spans smoothie bowls, fresh-pressed juices, hearty breakfast plates, and lunch bites. The dining room is bright and casual with both indoor and outdoor seating. The atmosphere leans family-friendly with a Caribbean-beach-house vibe. Hours are typically morning through afternoon (breakfast and lunch only — confirm current hours when planning).
Signature dishes & menu highlights
The Belgian Waffles are the headline order — pick from sweet builds (banana-Nutella, fresh berries, whipped cream) or savory (chicken-and-waffle, smoked salmon). The Smoothie Bowls are visually stunning and packed with fresh tropical fruit, granola, coconut, and house-made nut butters. The Pressed Juices are excellent — try the green juice for a clean energy boost. Eggs Benedict and Avocado Toast round out the savory breakfast options. Coffee is properly Italian-style espresso, not the watered-down resort-zone version.

Frequently asked questions
Are Aruba beaches free to use?
Yes. All beaches in Aruba are public up to the high-water mark, including the stretches fronting the big resorts. You can walk on and lay a towel down anywhere, though loungers and palapas belonging to a hotel are for its guests.
Which side of the island has the calm water?
The western and southern coasts. That is where Palm Beach, Eagle Beach, Manchebo and Baby Beach sit, and where the water stays flat enough for swimming and snorkelling. The north and east coasts face open Atlantic swell and are not safe for casual swimming.
Do I need to book a beach chair?
Not on the public stretches. On Palm Beach the hotel palapas fill early and are reserved for guests, so arrive before mid-morning if you want shade or bring your own.
Is the water warm year-round?
Yes, sitting around 27 to 28°C, so no wetsuit is needed at any time of year.
