TripAdvisor Traveler Rating

I can only give 5 stars because this resort is truly such a gem. We have stayed here all 4 visits to Aruba and are welcomed back like family. The staff alone is what keeps us coming back year after year. We know them by name and from the moment we drive up we are greeted like long lost friends, visiting the restaurants and Pega Pega or relaxing by the pool or hanging out on their beautiful beach property, the staff is what keeps this place feeling like home and like the happiest place on earth. A special thanks to O’Neil and Andrew for the warm welcome, for carrying our bags and such a sweet farewell. We love all the breakfast ladies, they truly start the day off with a warm smile and delicious breakfasts. It’s a joy every morning. Pega Pega boys keep us smiling and were especially fun with happy hour and watching the World Cup! The beach of course is one of the most beautiful parts of the resort, spacious and comfortable and always a seat. My favorite part of Manchebo is the daily yoga in their open air pavilion. The teachers have always been lovely but I especially loved this years yoga instructor. She had some really fun classes that kept me coming back! I smile thinking about it still. Every year we return to this resort, it’s not the fanciest and it could use a little updating to the rooms and perhaps a revamp on the dated restaurants. It may even appear a little run down to some, but to us we adore its Caribbean charm and rustic laid back vibes. If you’re looking for a place to unwind and get away from it all you have found it. Some things to note this year on our 4th visit. Some for the better. Some not so much. They changed the old room cards to a digital bracelet. I loved this! It was great not having to keep up with key cards for the rooms. Randall the manager said they are hoping the entire resort will soon be able to scan to settle checks for room charges. I think this feature is a nice upgrade. The only problem we noticed at all was the beach was busier with non-hotel guests trying to use the public palapas that are located within the Manchebo resort area. While I believe Manchebo does an incredible job at keeping the guests and non guests happy with this situation as best they could by offering palapas if they are unused, I felt like as a guest I shouldn’t have to worry about this and it made the hotel feel less private and my belongings less secure. We didn’t have any issues however I think perhaps for the price point of an all inclusive resort they should not allow a public access point to the beach from the parking lot and maybe that would deter so much public traffic into the resort itself. I usually feel comfortable leaving my belongings at the palapas while I swim but that unfortunately was not the case this year. I hope they find a better solution for this. This resort is still my number one favorite and we will continue to return for years to come. I think repeat guests feel that the hospitality here is worth it everytime. Keep it up Manchebo!

If you are looking for a quiet and beautiful resort to get away to, stop looking. No hustle and bustle here. Perfect location. Everyone is so pleasant to be around. Always felt welcomed and part of the family. The staff was always welcoming and accommodating. At the beach, Julian, Joey, and Josh went above an beyond. The front desk was very helpful. The servers were very knowledgeable. Our beach was clean and well managed. The rooms were clean and ground well maintained. Everything was as expected.

We had an amazing stay at Manchebo! The staff was very hospitable and friendly. The room was spacious and they did a great job cleaning it daily. Even at full capacity, we had no issues getting a papala on the beach at any time of day. There are a ton of great food options on the island so definitely be sure to explore if you’re a foodie! There is a Top Drive representative in the lobby daily making it super easy to rent a car (you can pick up and drop off your rental at the hotel).

We had an amazing time at the Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa. It was our first time staying here, and it certainly will not be our last. Eagle Beach is absolutely gorgeous and the resort was the perfect place for a relaxing, restful, stay in Aruba. The spa offers massages overlooking the beach and ocean for an additional level of relaxation while you are on vacation. The staff are truly incredible and were there to accommodate your every need to ensure your stay was perfect. Del was an incredible member of their team who went above and beyond to help us enjoy our stay. All staff members greeted the guests with smiles and genuine hospitality. The rooms were clean, quiet, and comfortable with a gorgeous view of the beach. The food was delicious and there were several restaurants on property or close by to Manchebo within walking distance. The resort is on the low rise end of the island which offers a quiet, peaceful, retreat on incredible Eagle Beach. We have visited Aruba several times and have stayed at other resorts, and this was by far our favorite place to stay! We highly recommend this resort. You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay here when you visit Aruba! Kerry and David Hoag

My husband and I chose to book our Aruba vacation at Manchebo Beach Resort after visiting their incredible spa last year for our anniversary and my birthday. From the moment we stepped onto the property, we were completely WOWed and knew this was where we wanted to spend our next vacation. We stayed for five amazing nights, and the experience exceeded all of our expectations. One of the things we loved most was the intimate atmosphere of the resort. With only 72 rooms, it felt peaceful, uncrowded, and incredibly relaxing. We never had to compete for a spot on the beach, which was pristine, beautiful, and meticulously maintained throughout our stay. The grounds at Manchebo are truly a tropical oasis—lush, immaculate, and absolutely stunning. Every detail of the resort reflects the care and pride of the staff. We would like to give special recognition to several team members who made our stay even more memorable: Andrew, O'Neil, and Emanuel from the Front Desk team for their warm hospitality and exceptional service. Allan at Ike's Bistro Bar for crafting the perfect drinks every time. Josh, the best beach attendant, who always found the perfect spot for us to relax and enjoy the beautiful beach. Joey, our friendly and attentive beach server. Mackayla, who greeted us each morning at breakfast at Ike's with a warm smile and positive energy. If you're looking for a quiet, romantic, and relaxing getaway in paradise, I highly recommend Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa. It offers the perfect balance of luxury, tranquility, and personalized service. We can't wait to return!
