The staff and workers
The rooms could have been a little larger and updated
Really good location, right next to the beach with their own private palapas.
Pricey per night rate and good was ok
Es muy cómodo y al ser pocas habitaciones,da sensación de privacidad permanente .El personal y su atención es cálida y familiar..Muy recomendable..
Nada..
la playa el personal muy amable
El desayuno puede mejorar.Y la comida poca variedad y repetitiva
Best beach at Aruba for sure. Breakfast is amazing with many options, staff very helpful and friendly at all time. Restaurants in the hotel with great election for everygody's taste. Nice gym, an the beach, once again the beach... paradaise!
Nothing, I have absolutely nothing to complain. This was our second time we went to Manchebo and I will do it next year again.
Das absolute Highlight ist der wunderschöne, breite Strand direkt vor dem Hotel. Es gibt ausreichend Liegen mit Palapas, und während unseres gesamten Aufenthalts haben wir eigentlich immer problemlos einen freien Platz gefunden. Auch am Pool waren genügend Liegen vorhanden und der Pool war jederzeit gut zugänglich. Die gesamte Anlage ist sehr schön, ruhig und ausgesprochen sauber und gepflegt. Unser Zimmer mit Meerblick im Erdgeschoss hat uns ebenfalls sehr gut gefallen. Gerade die größere Terrasse und der direkte Blick Richtung Meer waren für uns perfekt. Das Personal geht zudem sehr gut auf individuelle Wünsche ein. Insgesamt eine wirklich wunderschöne Anlage mit einer tollen Atmosphäre
Der größte Kritikpunkt war für uns das Mittagessen. Bei einem Aufenthalt von acht Tagen ist die Auswahl einfach zu klein und zu eintönig. Man hat im Hotel mittags nur sehr begrenzte Möglichkeiten und die Speisekarte bietet auf Dauer deutlich zu wenig Abwechslung. Auch beim Service gab es spürbare Unterschiede. Abends in den Restaurants war der Service sehr professionell und man merkte deutlich, dass dort ausgebildete bzw. erfahrene Kellner arbeiten. Beim Frühstück und Mittagessen war das wesentlich wechselhafter. Einige Mitarbeiter waren ausgesprochen freundlich, aufmerksam und gut gelaunt, bei anderen wurde das Essen dagegen teilweise einfach nur auf den Tisch gestellt, ohne wirklichen Service. Hier fehlte uns etwas die Konstanz, die man bei einem Hotel dieser Kategorie erwarten würde. Ein weiterer Punkt war der Umgang mit einem kleinen Hund eines Gastes. Wir mögen Hunde grundsätzlich, fanden es aber nicht angemessen, dass der Hund auf den Liegen lag, sich direkt am Pool aufhielt und in Strandtücher des Hotels eingewickelt wurde. Gerade im Hinblick auf andere Gäste mit Allergien oder Angst vor Hunden sollten hier aus unserer Sicht klarere Regeln gelten.
We have been coming to this resort for 15 years. On our most recent stay my wife had a serious medical emergency which required immediate hospitalization in Aruba. This started at 230 AM Sunday morning, on the day we were scheduled to check out. The resort provided transportation for my wife to the hospital emergency room immediately. The manager met me the next day and informed me that my wife and I were family and they would provide any assistance needed. They provided me with frequent rides to the hospital to be with my wife and extended my stay on the island. Management checked in with me daily to address my needs and inquire about my wife's health. On the day of my wife's discharge, one of the managers personally drove us to the airport. Words cannot describe the compassion and caring that the Manchebo family offered us. My shout out list is long: Edgar, Randall and Patrick in management. Melvin, overnight for his immediate and decisive attention. Andrew and Del who's compassion and support was unmatched. Brandon, for always being there for me in the evenings. Nacio, who is like a brother to me. Everyone in reservations for always finding another room for another night. And finally, my review of the resort: The rooms, food, beach and staff are the best on the island. Please stay here. You will fall in love. Paul and Christine.
…our weeklong stay (May 2026) at Manchebo Resort on Eagle Beach was so enjoyable that we have booked ourselves a repeat stay at this gem! We are returning for Thanksgiving week stay at Manchebo!!!
We went for our honeymoon and they provided a world class experience. So peaceful clean nice rooms truly best service. Would recommend 10/10!
From ther welcome mojito as we checked in, we loved our experience at The Manchebo Resort and Beach Resort. The ocean there is clearest and bluest I have ever seen. The beach is just breathtaking. We had a great ocean view and the beds are so comfortable in the rooms. Each day, we got a beach palapa to enjoy the day under. The breakfast is delicious..I highly recommend that you get the breakfast option. We explored other nice restaurants in the area for dinner. We felt very safe walking around in the evening. We would love to return!
Love the location, clean room, beautiful beach, very quiet, very relaxing. If we ever come back to Aruba, we will definitely stay at this place again.
None
Our family loved our weekend stay at Manchebo. The 24/7 pool, beautiful white-sand beach, peaceful gardens, and ocean views made it the perfect place to celebrate our birthdays and our kids’ graduations. If you are looking for a relaxing stay with quiet evenings, beautiful surroundings, and a chance to truly unwind, Manchebo is the perfect place. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely return.
I chose this hotel after a detailed review of all other options, first staying there in 2025 as a birthday trip for my wife. It was so fantastic that we decided to repeat our stay at Manchebo in 2026, and we'll try to do it again in 2027. This is a completely different experience compared to the "monster hotels" like the Marriott, the Ritz, or so many others along Eagle Beach. All those hotels look like fancy condos, but they're still condos — luxurious, full of stores and casinos, with the type of tourists you'd meet in Cancun, Miami, etc. Manchebo is a completely different story: a two-floor boutique hotel with personalized attention, a great staff, and that hard-to-copy, relaxed, quiet way of vacationing, surrounded by people who share your cultural values. On top of that, you get the best of Eagle Beach — a privileged zone with probably the best beach in all of Aruba. I love this place. It's not a tourist factory, but a home, with great people taking care of you.
A praia do hotel é maravilhosa com por do sol fantástico. O café da manha é perfeito, a la carte com muitas opções. O jantar possui 3 boas opções de restaurante e alta qualidade nas bebidas.
O atendimento durante o dia deixa a desejar, tem apenas 1 opção de restaurante que atende a piscina e a praia (restaurante pega pega). Os garçons não sao muito prestativo nesse restaurante e pouca opção de comida.
From the moment we stepped into the foyer to check in we were in heaven. The check in was easy with the friendliest gal, she gave us a ton of information slowly so we could grasp it all. This was our first time to Aruba and Manchebo Resort. She welcomed us back with any questions during our stay, everytime we went to the front desk they were friendly and helpful. Our room was in the perfect place #6, bottom level close to the 4 yummy restaurants, the pool, beach and every sunset. Different nights had themes Tuesday - meet management in the Pavilion for appys and cocktails with a local market going on too. There were approx 10-15 local vendors selling unique souvenirs, very special. With a steel drum musician playing softly in the background - super fun! Wednesday night is Mexcian night, special chef with authentic menu and mariahi band playing. One night a sax player, one night a female vocalist etc. You can go and participate and listen or we sat on our porch and listened sometime with drinks. All the food was great! The staff everywhere was amazing. Plenty of palapas every day at any time, they have a towel employee that helps you with their custom hooded towels for the chaise lounges and regular towels, all fresh and clean for you all day long. The room we got was an ocean deluxe room I believe and it had a nice queen bed with 2 night stands, a huge dresser, with extra stands for suitcases, a large closet including an easy to use safe, a good sized refrigerator and a good size bathroom supplies with the best aloe liquid soap, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion made on island. It was not a strong scent, but a soft refreshing fragrance. We celebrated our wedding anniversary so there was champagne & a congratulations card upon arrival - very special. Also included is 2 brand new reusable water bottles, very tastefully done. Everything was great, the welcome, restaurants, activities (or not), the room, the spa (amazing!) but nothing compares to the sand and the sea. There is no shortage of sand here. It goes on as far as you can see left and right and it's deep out to the sea. Crystal clear blue water, no sea grass! White fine sand not hot to your feet, no scary drop offs just gradual slope out to deeper water. Nice waves but not agressive and of course nice wind to cool you off. We went in July for our anniversary, it's the low and hot season but it was perfect with the breeze. All palapas have beach food service via Segways, really cool.
Just amazing. One of the best beaches I’ve seen. Staff are exceptional. Food was delish. Poke bowls and tenderloin steak a highlight but honestly didn’t have anything we didn’t like. Snacks for travel home a very nice touch. Booked a return trip already.
We enjoyed our stay at Manchebo very much. The whole stuff was incredibly kind and helpful. E.g. Delseta, Ana Maria and Julian were lovely. The location of the hotel is outstanding. Also, the food was delicious.
Loved everything about our stay at Manchebo!! The staff was so welcoming and so helpful our entire stay. The rooms were super clean and very spacious. It was our first trip to Aruba so we wanted to be right on the beach and we definitely got that with Manchebo. The beach was absolutely perfect! We had visited another popular beach while we were in Aruba and we wished we were back at Manchebo instead. The palapas were great to relax under and there was always one available for us. There are delicious restaurants on the resort and very close by in the shopping area if you’re not wanting to go far for food.
The only thing I can think of that was a little bit of a let down was there not being a microwave in the room. But that was just a minor inconvenience. I think you can request a room with a microwave
We stayed at Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa from July 24 through August 1, 2026, and had an absolutely amazing experience. The resort is beautiful, peaceful, and in a location where we always felt completely safe. The weather was perfect, and everyone we encountered was welcoming and friendly. What truly made our trip special was the resort staff. They consistently went above and beyond to make sure our vacation was comfortable and memorable. We would especially like to recognize Delseta, Ana Maria, Julian, Felisha, Andrew, Zennon, and Fanny. Each of them contributed in their own way to making our stay exceptional, and their kindness and attention were greatly appreciated. Our only minor suggestion would be to move the designated smoking section a little farther away from the guest rooms and outdoor sitting areas. There were only a few smokers during our stay, but the smoke could sometimes drift toward the rooms while we were sitting outside trying to enjoy the peaceful morning or evening air. That small issue aside, we had a wonderful vacation and would highly recommend Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa to anyone looking for a relaxing, friendly, and memorable Aruba experience. We are very grateful to the entire staff for making our trip so special.
Simply wonderful! Curated in every little detail and on an amazing beach! From Switzerland
We had the most amazing honeymoon at Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa in Aruba! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The location was absolutely perfect—we were just a 30-second walk from our room to the beautiful beach, making it easy to relax and enjoy every moment. The service was outstanding throughout our entire stay. A special thank you to Allan, who went above and beyond to make our honeymoon even more memorable. Every bartender and staff member we interacted with was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. We also booked the honeymoon package, and it was well worth it. The spa was fantastic and such a relaxing treat during our trip. The resort itself is peaceful, beautiful, and the perfect place for couples looking for a romantic getaway. We truly couldn't have asked for a better honeymoon destination. We can't wait to come back someday!
This was our sixth time at the Manchebo, and as usual it did not disappoint! We were there for a vow renewal and a week stay. Staff was as friendly as ever. Nyoka was amazing in arranging the ceremony, and made sure that everything ran perfectly. Delseta assisted and was our cheerleader! Delseta also hosts at Ike's, and it was always a delight to see her sunny smile! It was great to see Nacio at the Pega Pega again, he always makes us feel like we've come home. Alejandra was our favorite server, and it was always a pleasure to have Andrew heartily welcome us when we arrived at the lobby. Loved getting to know Oscar as well, a friendly presence on staff. I know I am forgetting so many people, because everyone here is just so kind and welcoming. Need I mention the best beach on the island? The rooms are pristine, and you feel relaxed as soon as you walk on the property. It is a quiet, peaceful slice of heaven.
We just got back from celebrating our anniversary at this amazing resort! Only our second time in Aruba (Last time was near the high rise. section), we decided to try this resort and have a more tranquil experience. WHAT A FIND! From the minute we got there, everyone greeted us with a smile and so accommodating. Our room was perfect (room 13) right off the lobby. Our room was perfect in comfort, coffee in the room ( and complimentary coffee bar right outside in Ike's bistro - one of their four wonderful restaurants. The air conditioning worked perfectly, we had fresh clean room each day, they provided all the amenities we needed for showering), everything was so clean. Our room was on the first floor and had sliders were we had our coffee each morning facing the beach view.. it was about 20 steps to the sand so that was a nice suprise!!! The vibe is bohemian tropical with three restaurant styles. We had dinner at the chophouse which was delicious! They even gave use two complimentary glasses of wine with our room checkin for dinner! One night was a theme night, Mexican, with a casual menu of delicious Mexican favories (Must try the fish tacos or Mexican bowl) and they had a live Mariachi band! Our favorite part of the resort was the beach- not too busy, always had a spot on the beach set up for us under a palapa by the beach attendant. Water was PERFECT! Food was served on the beach if you liked by attentive beach servers. We also enjoyed a spa day at their on site spa- Spa De Sol. The outdoor spa cabanas werer private enough with open air breezes. Our couples massage of 80 minutes was divine, with a calming relaxing zone after for enjoying the glow of the treatments. Each morning there was beach yoga in their pavilion, The instructors varied but what a site for a complimentary yoga class each day! Breezes blowing, yoga mats provided, and a supportive instructors. It was such a highlight! There was also pilates after that looked great if you are into that too. All complimentary with the resort. The staff was so kind, always helpful and our favorite was Andrew who greeted us when we arrived, always checked in on us when we passed and ushered us away with a big smile ( and cookies and peanuts for the plane!) We were so sad to leave and are counting the days until we can return. It was the absolute perfect vacation thanks to all they offer at this perfect resort!
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
A localização era excelente e fácil estacionar
Desde a nossa chegada, a experiência foi extremamente desagradável. A reserva não foi encontrada de imediato e os dois funcionários da receção demonstraram pouca disponibilidade, comunicação difícil e uma postura pouco preparada para lidar com a situação. Ao longo da estadia, tornou se evidente uma clara falta de formação por parte da equipa do hotel, refletida não só na receção, mas também no restaurante, onde o atendimento foi bastante insatisfatório. Além disso, o hotel apresentava sinais visíveis de degradação e falta de manutenção. A zona onde eram servidas as refeições tinha um cheiro muito desagradável, o que tornou a experiência ainda mais desconfortável. No geral, a estadia ficou muito aquém do esperado e deixou uma impressão bastante negativa.
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!
My husband and I spent our honeymoon at Manchebo Beach Resort and would highly recommend to anyone, especially those looking for a relaxing, rejuvenating experience. We did the all-inclusive package and loved the dining options at the resort—every meal was delicious. The beach was also relatively calm and quiet, which we enjoyed as this is more our speed. We will cherish the memories made at the resort and hope to be able to come back for an anniversary trip in the future (:
We rarely return to the same destination twice because there are so many places we’d like to explore, but after our stay at Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa, we’re already planning our next visit. If you’re looking for a beautiful, quiet resort with direct access to stunning Eagle Beach, this is it. Our room and the entire property were spotless, well maintained, and clearly cared for. We chose the all-inclusive package, and it exceeded our expectations. The biggest highlight was the à la carte dining—every meal felt like dining at a quality restaurant rather than a typical resort buffet. We especially loved the Aruban breakfasts, fresh smoothies, incredibly fresh seafood, perfectly cooked filet mignon, and the delicious tableside Caesar salad. We also received a dinner voucher for The Old Cunucu House, where we enjoyed an authentic Aruban meal. The oxtail stew was outstanding! What truly made our vacation unforgettable was the staff. Every person we encountered was warm, welcoming, and genuinely committed to making our stay special. A special thank you to Jorman, our beach waiter, whose friendly personality and exceptional service made it hard to leave the comfort of our palapa! Thank you to everyone at Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa for an amazing vacation. We left relaxed, refreshed, and already looking forward to returning. We highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a peaceful, first-class beach getaway in Aruba.
Stayed at the Manchebo for a total of 10 days. Best beach and hotel on the island in my opinion. Had a rental car and traveled the island but couldn’t wait to get back and chill on the beach at the Manchebo. Del and the rest of the staff were so welcoming and attentive to every detail. Hated to leave and come home after being so relaxed. One of the top resorts I’ve ever visited hands down.
Manchebo is the perfect place to stay. Beautiful resort, beach and water.
We stayed nine days at Manchebo Bay Resort and Spa and had a wonderful time. It is a beautiful resort with a phenomenal staff. The beach is pristine and the resort is well manicured, landscaping gorgeous, with the most amazing sunsets. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Our beachfront room was cleaned perfectly each day. The air conditioning also worked great. A huge shout out to Marissa who did an amazing job as our room was spotless and refreshed each day. We had the all inclusive package, so we didn’t have to worry about added costs. I’m not sure we got the most for our money as we really didn’t take advantage of all the food options, since we tended to skip meals. A lot of it was due to the heat, and we just weren’t that hungry. The food we did eat was fantastic. We both have a food allergy to shellfish, and they went out of their way to make sure the food we ate was safe. Since we went in September it was extremely hot. The sand was even hot walking to get into the water. Each day we would head out to the beach to find a cabana for the day. Reniek was always there with a smile and a kind word getting our area ready with towels and anything else we would need for the day. Such a wonderful young man who is a huge stand out for taking care of guests. Niguel and Eurek were on the beach making trips to the bar bringing us lots of water and any drinks we requested. They have a pole with a flag to put anytime we needed service. My husband loves snorkeling, and this is not a beach for that. The water was beautiful and a refreshing break from the heat. We took daily morning walks, and the beachfront was wide in both directions from the resort. My husband enjoyed running on the beachfront in the morning. The pool looked nice, but we really didn’t spend any of our time there. There were a few days I wasn’t feeling the best because of the extreme heat and Jean at lunch made sure I was well taken care of and always checked on me. Delseta also went above and beyond each day at lunch to make sure we had anything we needed during meals. There were many more staff members during meals that made sure our experience was enjoyable. We took an all day excursion of the entire island with ABC tours and we can’t recommend them enough. It was fantastic and there were only six of us on the island tour. We went all around the island and went to some places only they were able to navigate through. Definitely not recommended if you have a bad back. Our tour guides were Curt, Jay Jay, and Joshua. I would book directly with ABC tours. We booked through Manchebo Bay and were charged $30 for booking through them. This was one of the highlights of our trip. I know I left out many staff members who made our trip fun and memorable during our stay. We would highly recommend anyone visiting Aruba to stay at Manchebo.
This was our second visit to Manchebo and it was as wonderful as the first. Eagle Beach is beautiful and while Aruba is known for its winds, having the option to hangout by the pool is also wonderful. We love that the resort isn’t huge so it doesn’t feel overly crowded, and the ability to get service from Pega Pega so easily during the day or along the beach is wonderful. The restaurants are great but we had more time to explore nearby restaurants and while they have an all inclusive option, staff is available to give wonderful recommendations. It’s much quieter and more peaceful than other areas of the island, and the staff is wonderful. Josh, who set up towels at the beach, was wonderful every day. Brandon was also so helpful, friendly, and fun. Everyone at Manchebo is wonderful and while it is not a budget vacation by any means, it’s a wonderful spot that feels luxurious but not pretentious. We can’t wait for our third trip back!
Breathtaking and 100% accommodating. Every little detail was thought of and our stay was stunning. It was everything we needed and much more than we hoped for!
What a welcoming, beautiful place! We stayed on the all-inclusive plan for five nights, to include one dinner downtown. This was the start of husband's big birthday, and Manchebo went all out for us! We stayed in enormous suite with ocean view, which was fantastic! Everyone on the staff, from Andrew, Brandon, Luis at the Front to Harald making Caesar salad in the ChopHouse, to Aaron at the bar, were super solicitous, helpful, kind, and fun. Off-campus, we walked across the way for a little souvenir shopping, and had excellent dinner at the Driftwood (which doesn't need our review -it lived up to its famous reputation). The beach is perfect, the beach attendants are super helpful, no waits for breakfast, easy reservations for dinner and great service every evening. Off season was great! Only regret is that we waited until departure to go with Darren, thanks to Andrew, for a mini-sightseeing tour before the airport. Wish we'd done that for an introduction before the last hours! The photos of Manchebo and the beach are real - it's amazing! Cannot imagine a better place to be on Aruba
This was our fourth time at Manchebo. It is truly our happy place. Not only is the beach stunning, the water turquoise, the pool quiet, the vibe chill and respectful, it’s really the staff that makes this feel like we are coming home each time. Special shout outs to Andrew and Delista, Brandon, Nacio, Josh who got us our palapa each morning, Cynthia, Rachel,Aracelys,Kiki and really every server at Ike’s and Pega Pega. Oh and the Lomi lomi massage is the best you’ll ever get. Gratitude to our favorite vacation community. 6-7!
I have been looking forward to my return to Manchebo since my first visit in March 2025. It was incredible to return to a warm welcome and friendly faces. I personally can’t fault the experience, for a solo traveller it really in a slice of heaven. The food at the resort is incredible, the service warm and friendly. I had the same from as last year a garden deluxe which was perfect for me. The beach is stunning and the grounds are pretty and well kept. Monica who attended my room each day kept things spotless. All the staff were friendly and welcoming and it’s lovely to see some familiar faces on my return. It was sad to have to leave. I don’t have any big areas for improvement. The minor tweaks, on checking out, I can’t remember the name of the guy I dealt with and I didn’t see him last time. But he was a little abrupt, and I had to sign my last bill which I noticed was wrong and wasn’t mine. He didn’t really apologise for that mistake and I was told to just leave my stuff.. the security guard came over and assisted me and was lovely and he assisted with everything on my return for my flight a few hours later, escorting me to the room to change, arranging my airport cab, helping with luggage etc. he was incredible, the guy on reception then called me over whilst I was adding some books to the library and quizzed if I had checked out and settled my bill and returned my wristband. Having only encountered me 3 hours before. So this tiny element wasn’t my expected check out experience but again didn’t ruin the stay in anyway just was a little Kurt and abrupt. I am already planning my return to Manchebo for next year and hopefully will see you all again soon. Thank you
Celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary at Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa was truly a blessing. From the moment we arrived, Andrew welcomed us with such warmth and enthusiasm that we instantly felt at home. The entire staff—from the restaurants to the beach attendants and grounds team—provided exceptional service throughout our stay. Our room was comfortable and inviting, and the mattress delivered some of the best sleep we’ve had in years! The spa’s oceanfront setting was tranquil and beautiful. One note: our couples Swedish massage felt more like a deep tissue massage, so be sure to communicate your preferred pressure. As longtime plant-based eaters, we were especially impressed by the variety of delicious vegan options available. We enjoyed far more than salads and never felt limited in our choices. We loved the peaceful rhythm and relaxed pace of the resort. The daily Pilates and yoga classes were a wonderful bonus, and the unobstructed views of the white sands and turquoise waters of Eagle Beach were simply breathtaking. If you’re looking for a place to relax, reconnect, and be well cared for, I highly recommend Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa. We left refreshed, grateful, and already talking about a return visit.
O sossego…
Venta muito na ilha toda Bom pra vela
A couple of the themes of the Manchebo Beach Resort are "Welcome Home" and another is 'family". The Management and staff of the Manchebo Beach resort make you feel very welcomed and like you are going home but without the drama. You notice the friendliness and helpfulness right away as you check in. At the Manchebo they do everything possible to make your stay a wonderful experience. Just kick back and relax and the Management and staff will take care of the rest. We first stayed at the Manchebo 20 years ago and would never stay anywhere else. Why would we? We have the best of everything at the Manchebo Beach Resort. It is quite, clean, friendly, right on the beach and offers the best service.
stunning location. wonderful resteraunts..fun outdoor bar..attentive pool and beach services. Resort was absolutely lovely. Spa experience was wonderful We will be back for sure.
Our wedding week at Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa was truly one of the most magical and unforgettable experiences of our lives. Aruba has held such a special place in my heart for years, so being able to marry my best friend there surrounded by the people we love most was a dream come true. From the very beginning, the entire team at Manchebo made us feel so cared for, supported, and celebrated. Every detail was handled so beautifully, and you could genuinely feel how much love and effort went into making our wedding week so special — not just for us, but for all of our guests too. And we truly cannot say enough amazing things about Nyoka. She was more than just our wedding planner throughout this process. She was calming during stressful moments, reassuring when I overthought things, incredibly organized, and always there whenever we needed her. Planning a destination wedding could have easily felt overwhelming, but because of Nyoka, it never did. She made everything feel effortless and made sure our vision came to life even more beautifully than we could have imagined. One of my favorite parts of the entire experience was seeing all of our friends and family fall in love with Aruba the same way I did years ago. Watching everyone create memories together in such a beautiful place meant everything to us. Walking down the beach, hearing the waves, seeing the sunset, and marrying the love of my life in a place that means so much to me is a memory I will cherish forever. We are beyond grateful to Nyoka and the entire Manchebo team for giving us a week and a wedding we will never stop talking about. Manchebo will forever feel like home to us now, and we already cannot wait to come back.
My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary here and it was amazing. The manager Luis was so kind and helpful and went above and beyond. The staff is friendly and always smiling, especially our favorite beach guy Julian. Josh is great too! The themed nights are fun, the food is excellent and the live entertainment is great. We are counting down the days until we can go back!
My wife and I stayed for six days at this wonderful resort - it was unforgettable vacation. The beach is gorgeous, the staff super friendly and efficient, the rooms great and the food excellent. It was a week in paradise !
Nothing - it's perfect ! Only one problem: I can not imagine a beach trip that can top this incredible place !
At first - I have to confess - I suspected photos of the beach at Manchebo (like the one on this page) to be a little bit "enhanced"; it just looked too gorgeous. But they reflect reality.. The beach is wide, the sand almost white and incredibly clean. Manchebo Beach Resort (I leave the "Spa" out, we didn't use it, shame on us) is just incredible and I'm not sure if we (my wife is the beach person; I go along and enjoy reading books in the shade of the huts) can ever find a resort that can match up with Manchebo. The staff is great, always friendly, doing everything with a smile. Rooms are super clean, comfortable and steps from the ocean. All four restaurants/bars are outstanding. The Japanese place is memorable but so is the pool/beach bar Pega Pega. As a beer lover, I would strongly recommend theAruba-brewed Chill. A word about the vicinity/region: A few steps away from the resort is a little mall with a good Mexican restaurant (El Patio) and also a cozy coffee shop (Santos) Oranjestad, Aruba's capital, is clean and easy to walk around, but it's also a typical cruise ship destination with shops that you'll find on any of the islands. To sum it up: Manchebo was so good that you won't want to leave!
We were delighted with our stay at Manchebo for our anniversary trip. The beach is absolutely stunning and the staff were so helpful and friendly. We took advantage of the daily yoga and also did a couples massage. The service on the beach was very quick and delicious. It was hard to leave when our vacation ended!
3rd trip to Manchebo (our 10 year anniversary). Quick staff shout outs: Stephanie (we've seen her every visit and keep in touch - our favorite), Jean (the best smile), Jono/Jonathan (welcomed us upon arrival, such a nice guy), Ignacio (greeted us with a delicious mojito at check in - he is a legend), Julian (took care of the entire beach and us), Diana (so friendly), Alejandra (has a great laugh), Fabian (awesome bartender), and Elton (delivered the food with a smile every time). Thank you to everyone we encountered this trip - YOU are what sets Manchebo apart. Thank you, thank you. Okay, to the various details of our trip: 1) getting there was piece of cake as usual (we arranged our own transport to and from the airport), 2) check in was smooth - we were onto the beach in 15 minutes upon arriving, 3) room - could tell our room had recently been updated - it was immaculate, 4) hotel and grounds - a well oiled machines as always - you would see the various areas being rotated for deep cleans each day, maintenance, etc. There was even a gentleman working during the days sanding down various areas to be repainted - just an example of the attention to detail here, 5) pool - awesome as always, great if you want a break from the beach, 6) restaurants - we hit every single one, spoiled for choice - tons of options for food, drink, and dessert, 7) car rental on site - rented a car for x1 day as usual, we had a great time exploring the island (just brush up on navigating traffic circles and you'll be fine driving around), 8) staff - as mentioned at the top, everyone was so nice, friendly, and a few of the same folks from previous visits we caught up with, 9) weather - nice breeze, sunny, rained for maybe 5 minutes one day - but honestly, even a bad day of weather in Aruba beats being anywhere else in the world - it is paradise, and 10) the beach (I'll add a note below about this for more details), the beach was great as always, not crowded, put your flag up and you'll have a drink or food in no time. Really love that touch when visiting Manchebo. Recap: if you can't be happy here, that's a you problem. We loved our third visit!!! Beach/palapas: okay, so you'll see some recent negative reviews mentioning this...at near by properties as well. Wanted to chime in... Eagle Beach is NOT crowded. Go spend 5 minutes up North by the 'high rises' and it will put everything into perspective for you (that place is jam packed). We never had an issue getting a seat when we were at Manchebo - wanted to mention that first. Okay... so the palapas... those are public, so is the beach. Manchebo just so happens to be on this little slice of paradise with palapas in front of it... 10 years ago we never saw or read of any issues, same with 5 years ago (no issues)... now talking to the staff and the locals on this most recent visit (as well as some Googling), Aruba is just more popular now - and people can Airbnb their condos/timeshares (which there are a few nearby Manchebo - not on the beach). So now you just have the perfect storm of a previously vacant area that's now been discovered (rightly so - it's beautiful), and a hotel that never had issues until recently with any of this. They're doing their best. Don't leave a negative review about the hotel over a beach chair. To recap: it's a large/wide beach - never had any issues (it was not busy). *Did see one gentleman call the police about not getting the exact palapa he wanted, but I personally was just so glad it was NOT an embarrassing American who called (not sure where he was from). He eventually got another one, his wife looked more angry at him than the situation. My best guess: eventually Manchebo will set up their own guest area and then have a public area (there is plenty of room for both). Just a guess. Everyone is entitled to the beach, to paradise, and if disagreements over seats is the biggest issue during a visit - we're all doing okay =)
This is our 3rd time at Manchebo and it didn’t disappoint! So beautiful, so clean, so relaxing! The staff is top notch and so friendly! Love the lunch crew at Pega Pega!! They are the best! Thanks for another great vacation, we will see you in 6 months!
Manchebo is an awesome resort! the staff are friendly the restaurants are EXCELLENT the location is prime and for our 3rd visit we were still impressed with the service level, cleanliness, and general atmosphere at Manchebo. The spa services are top notch as well. We have stayed at Manchebo 3 times in the past 15 years and have plans to return next year. Best value and certainly a gem of a resort!
Fabulous place with the best people working there - very relaxed and just so beautiful! We had a great time.
The service location and food were absolutely incredible. There is not a better beach out there.
Manchebo is peaceful tranquil setting on expansive beach with turquoise water aka my slice of heaven… as you navigate pathways throughout this intimate property your senses will delight in its thoughtful tropical landscape (enhanced at night all lit up)…perfect venue for events is the open air pavilion on the beach (daily yoga setting)…impressive large rectangular saltwater pool … mild disappointment is no hot tub… most convenient is gambling casino located across the street located amongst some shops and restaurants… $12 taxi takes you to Super Foods a comprehensive supermarket worth the trip… Manchebo has concierge desk so friendly and informed… frankly the ENTIRE Manchebo resort staff was top notch!!!
Top location on Aruba, direct access to the beach and sea, very friendly and polite staff, extremely good food. Close to Palm Beach and Oranjestad for shopping.
If you are looking for a peaceful getaway, this is a must book resort. We had an amazing and relaxing time. The staff is so friendly and the resort is immaculate. You can walk anywhere around the resort in just a few minutes. Had the gym to ourselves every morning. We so loved the beach and all the top of the line food and service. Wonderful!!!
We just came home a few days ago and we are still thinking about Manchebo Beach Resort. Upon arrival, Charles greeted us with a huge smile, took care of our luggage, set us up in their lounge area as our room wasn't ready yet. It was air conditioned, couches, coffee, bathroom, showers, everything you need. We received our welcome Mojito, and had lunch at Pega Pega. They gave us tee-shirts since it was our Honeymoon, complimentary champagne in our room for us. The rooms are big enough, we stayed in a garden view, there was a balcony with a table and chairs you can see the ocean from it. If you are looking for a quiet place, this is it. They have a library area if you wanted to get a book, they had live music at night. It was such a pleasure staying there, very quiet, well maintained, great service. We ate at the Chophouse, my husband said it was the best steak he's ever had. We ordered Pega Pega a few times from the beach, it was delicious. Never an issue getting a Palapa, they do have security monitoring the area. We did a couples massage at the Spa De Sol, it was perfect. There are other places to eat in walking distance. Felt very safe. It was a great stay and lookin forward to going back.
Manchebo Beach Resort has been our escape for the last four years. It’s our home away from home. The people there welcome us back with open arms (and mojitos)! Eagle Beach is the best with white sand and lots of room between palapas. The water has just enough surf to make it fun without being too rough, and so clear you can see your toes. We look forward all year to our next visit!
Friendly staff and very relaxing picturesque resort . Short trip to many casinos , one directly across the street , and to attractions .
We had a fabulous time. Your staff was very accommodating and fun. Andrew was there to welcome us in and send us on our way home. William always made sure we had our beach palapas with towels. Julian was readily available to keep us hydrated. Loved watching Joe on his first day on the Segway. Anna was our lunchtime waitress when we came in out of the sun for a while. We loved all of their smiles and personalities. Thank you so much for our great vacation🩵
All meals were very good especially dinner at the chop house
Some areas of the property are starting to look dated and need to be updated. 2 twin beds pushed together to form a king/queen size was very unfcomfortable
Everything was as I remembered from last year I visit. This time I took my girlfriends with me for a week of fun. We loved it! Great food, drinks, bucket of Chills, staff, weather! Room and beds were excellent and we already want to come back!
We had a lovely honeymoon at Manchebo! Everyone was so friendly and helpful, shout out to Jono and Luis at the front desk for all of their recommendations and assistance every day. Beautiful beach and very easy to get a palapa. Quiet and relaxing, good food options at Pega Pega for lunch and delicious drinks. security, front desk, and all the waitresses/waiters were very warm. Great massages at spa del sol. Had the honeymoon package which was perfect because we were able to eat at the restaurants and have a romantic dinner on the beach, and also explore the island for other restaurants!
We stayed for 4 nights and 5 days. I can't think of a thing we asked for or wanted the staff didn't provide. The food was excellent. We didn't buy the meal plan in case it wasn't but ended up eating every meal there. The staff is amazing. You need to figure out the beach cause it's public although the shade and loungers aren't. Don't be shy get out there early and speak to the staff to reserve your spot. The provided sun lotion is 10/10. We ended up ordering some for home cause our US 30spf I got burned using. Did I say the staff is lovely? Make it like home, engage and you will feel like family. Room was spotless and comfy. We will go again
Its a very special, familiary place to feel well. Every body is friendly and helpful. We come back in November
Manchebo is perfect and the best place to stay in Aruba. The resort is beautiful. The entire resort team is welcoming and provide outstanding service. The rooms are spacious and immaculately clean. The variety of food tasted was excellent (especially the fish tacos). Andrew is awesome! He promptly provided anything needed and/or requested.
This is our second time staying here. It is awesome. The beach is one of the best beaches in the Caribbean. It’s never too busy in the off season. You always get lounge chairs on the beach. And they are spread out not on top of each other like other resorts in Aruba. This is a perfect resort for couples who want privacy and peace. The rooms are perfect size with a small balcony. Bed was comfortable. The shower is a very nice rain shower. Ike’s restaurant is very good. Pega Pega outside bar has good bar food and drinks. The Chophouse is ok, but the service is great. But what makes this hotel stand out is the staff. From the second you pull up to the hotel you are greeted and treated fantastic. The gentleman that has been here many years who helps you check in is so nice and helpful. He even drove me to the pharmacy. The front desk is great. They help you with everything. Everything you need is here. You can walk to a little outdoor mall that has a convenience store and liquor store and some other restaurants. You are 5-10 minutes from everything at this hotel. I love this hotel. Like I said, the staff here is second to none. I travel the world all the time. I’ve never been treated better anywhere than I have been treated at Manchebo. We will be back in August/ September.
this was our second time at Manchebo, and we'll be back next year for sure! the stay, beach, food and drinks were wonderful
Absolutely the best resort we ever stayed at. Besides the beauty of the beaches and water, the entire resort was landscaped beautifully and I cannot say enough great things about the staff, they were fabulous!
Outstanding! First trip to Aruba and we will back. I wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else. It is quiet and relaxing. The beach is literally outside your door. The service and hotel staff are incredible and friendly! If you are wanting more hustle and bustle, this isn’t your place. It is small & boutique and extremely peaceful!
Our first stay at Manchebo, we had a very good time with our friends who we were traveling with. The resort is very dated, but in a very charming way. The staff is wonderful throughout except for the Pega bar. Bartenders were not very attentive or friendly. Beach is very nice, but this resort has a terrible time with squatters who are not guests of the hotel. In Manchebo’s defense, they have excellent security. You always felt safe. Aruba must figure out this public beach and palapa issue!
We have visited Aruba 11 times at various locations. This was our 2nd visit to the resort (in consecutive years), and it did not disappoint during our 10-day stay. The staff was outstanding and the facilities were immaculate. The vibe is definitely quiet and relaxing. It is a great place to rejuvenate. It was an easy walk from our room to an outstanding beach and palapas are plentiful. We shared a room with a solo friend, which made it a great value, and the room was more than satisfactory. The location works well for access to a variety of conveniences (restaurants and shopping) whether walking, using a taxi, or driving a rental car.
Highly recommend! Great location and service was excellent! Loved the beach access and it was over crowded.
Everything positive you have read about this resort is TRUE! It was perfection. Things we loved…the welcoming staff, Andrew had the best smile. Our room was super clean, the bed & pillows were the most comfortable, loved the Aruban Aloe products, cooler in the room to use at the beach, the robe & slippers were a nice touch. We did the AI and felt it was worth it. We ate at all the restaurants, our favorite was Pega Pega…food was delicious, drinks were good and the servers were full of smiles especially Yanika & Nacio. A great vibe all the way around. All food at the restaurants were wonderful. The grounds were amazing. There is so much space..which I believe is intentional to create a space that is almost sanctuary like. It’s just beautiful. Although the property isn’t as new or modern as some, it has been well maintained and it shows. We could not believe how many repeat guests there were…the staff knew their names, were giving hugs etc. This was our first stay but hopefully not our last. Finally we just loved the beach. It was so expansive. I’ve stayed in the Palm beach area before and the palapas were stacked so close together and there was hardly any room for walking the beach. At this beach, we walked every morning. It was stunning. We loved that the resort offered sunscreen to their guests so you didn’t have to pack it. William set us up each morning with our towels. He was great. We loved the beach service from Joey and others bringing us drinks & food on the segways. Some people complain that the locals or other visitors who are staying elsewhere were taking over the beach but I disagree. The beach is so large and the security team did a good job directing them to where they could sit. There was enough room for everyone to enjoy. All around we loved it. It was the perfect spot, a well needed vacation and I would return in a heartbeat.
I cannot say enough positive things about this resort. If you are thinking of booking this, please don’t hesitate! This was my first all-inclusive experience and Manchebo has set the bar extremely high. The staff are friendly and very attentive to your needs. Everything from the daily yoga classes, the spa!, the beautiful rooms with ocean views, the food (some of the best vegan dishes I’ve had!), were outstanding. Manchebo is the perfect place for relaxing and resetting. This will be my solo getaway!
What a wonderful getaway! We stayed four nights at Manchebo and have nothing but positive things to say. The rooms, while perhaps not as modern as other resorts, are clean, spacious enough, and more than suitable for the stay especially if you’re spending most of your time at the beach! The restaurants (Ike’s, Chophouse, and Omakase) were all delicious, though we preferred Omakase and Ike’s. To us, what truly set the experience apart was the staff and service. From the moment we were greeted by Andrew at the front desk, we were always met by smiles and warm welcomes. Also a shout out to Nacio at the Pega Pega Beach Bar whose well deserved fame is memorialized in a signature drink - “Nacio Smiles.” Overall Manchebo is the perfect couples getaway if you’re looking for restful days underneath a palapa on a picturesque beach. Excellent service, good accommodations, and a truly beautiful location. We hope to be back!
My husband and I stayed here April 16-21 with another couple. Never stayed here before. Absolutely love Manchebo and Eagle/Manchebo Beach area. We have stayed at the Hyatt on Palm Beach which is very nice but this experience on this beach in a boutique type resort with only 72 rooms is much nicer if you like the less crowded side of Aruba. We walked the beach in one direction and the round trip was almost an hour so nice walking. The ocean is great to go in; doesn't drop down like a lot of beaches. A few waves before it flattens out but no problem at all. The resort has 2 floors only. We stayed in a partial ocean view and it was spectacular. The room is quite spacious and we had a deck which was great. The restaurants on site are excellent as well as all cocktails. We did pay extra for the all inclusive and we are so happy that we did. We ate all meals there even though they offer a voucher for other restaurants. There is live entertainment every night. The sound is perfect and not too loud at dinner. The entire staff cannot do enough for you. You feel like everyone is family. The entire atmosphere is very islandy and laid back. You never have to worry about getting beach chairs and a palapa. The beach service was great, too. We can't wait to go back here. We didn't use the pilates/yoga or spa services because we really wanted to be at the beach a lot.
From the time we arrived until the time we left, we had an amazing stay. The staff was always very friendly and willing to wait on your every need. They were super helpful if you had a question or need, such as advice for activities, getting taxis, or squeezing you in for a couples massage. We were never wanting for food as meals were plentiful and delicious. The beach was amazing and the beach boys were great in helping us get a palapas every day to enjoy at the beach. The waiters at the Pega Pega bar came to your palapas on a Segway to get your drink or food order and brought it right to you. We were so well taken care of at the resort that we did not want to leave. We definitely will be returning again.
Our first time to Aruba and we absolutely loved The Manchebo Beach Resort and Spa! A small, quite Resort away from all the crowds. Beach location is perfect and the entire staff is amazing! We cannot wait for a return visit!
We had a tremendous time. The resort was fantastic in terms of setting, beach,fo od and the overall hospitality and service of the staff. Highly recommend if you want a peaceful and relaxing vacation in a beautiful place.
Great vacation for couples or families. Great activities, wonderful comfortable beach, and amazing staff.
Amazing experience at Manchebo! I cannot say enough about the staff, the hotel and the food. Julian was one of our favorite staff members. Jason was a great bartender! Erick the chef at Pega Pega made the best calamari. The chef at the Chophouse was incredible. John helped every morning with our Palapa. If you’re looking for a quiet, calm, peaceful spot to relax, you should definitely check out Manchebo.
I could not have been more pleased with my first solo vacation. I enjoyed just about every amenity the hotel had to offer. Loved watching the sunset from my room each evening, and taking short walks to the beach. Pilates instructor and experience was amazing! Every staff person was kind, gracious and super accommodating. The spa - top tier experience. I cannot wait to return and I've told everyone about how magical my time was. Thank you!!
I love Manchebo Beach Resort and rave about it to everyone I see . . . this was our 4th visit in less than 2 years! Unfortunately, the "palapas are open to public" dilemma has made it's way to MBR and it was not a great experience on the beach this time. Non-resort guests hover like vultures and as soon as a palapa closest to the water opens up they swarm in to take it over. The "non-public" palapas are all in the back and farther away from the water. This problem doesn't seem to be as big an issue at neighboring resorts (ie Bucuti & Tara) and I can only hope that MBR management gets the issues under control. If that means removing the palapas and replacing with umbrellas, so be it! The staff at MBR treats you like family and that is worth a lot . . . from arrival with Andrew and Oneil to days on the beach with John, Joey and Josiah, I can't say enough about the level of attention and service this resort gives. It's unmatched.
Room was dirty when i entered - they knew that and offered to mop the floors again lol. Like shouldn't that have been done before? Beach area, they gave my seats away to OTHER guests after just 1 hour of going in the water. Food the one time i ordered was wrong. And it was cold. After 1 night sleep i left to go to somewhere else on the island. And for the price this is absolute insanity. Would never ever recomened this place.
Manchebo exceeded all of our expectations! They have incredible staff, restaurants, and amenities. We had an amazing massage and mud wrap right by the beach. We can’t wait to return!
This is my 3rd stay at Manchebo Beach Resort and we plan on making this an annual family event. Our family did try a different resort before Manchebo, but nothing compares to this resort. The resort, restaurants and beach here are top notch. They have differant daily specials (Monday is lobster and shrimp night). Tuesday local artisans bring their craftes which you can enjoy and purchase while you enjoy free "adult beverages". Wednesday is live Mexican music at the Pega-Pega cafe and beach bar. Every day and night is a special experience. Their staff are extremely accommodating! I honestly can't say enough about them. HIGHLY recommend.
We spent five days at Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. When we first arrived, we had several questions about how the all-inclusive package would work, but by the end of our stay—especially when reviewing our final bill—it was clear everything functioned exactly as described. It made for a seamless and truly relaxing vacation. The daily yoga, included with our stay, was a perfect way to start each morning and quickly became one of our favorite parts of the trip. What truly set this resort apart, however, was the exceptional staff who made our experience so memorable. Each morning at breakfast, Delseta greeted us with a warm, genuine smile that made us feel like more than just guests—it felt like we had known her for much longer than a few days. She was attentive, welcoming, and consistently on top of everything. Out on the beach, Hugo went above and beyond. If we arrived early, he would already have our chairs and towels set up. Throughout the day, he made a point to check in, always with a smile, making sure we had everything we needed. Julien, our beachside server, seemed to anticipate what we needed before we even asked. His attentiveness and timing were spot-on every time. At lunch, Nacio brought great energy behind the bar—engaging with guests, singing along to the music in multiple languages, and creating a fun, lively atmosphere. At The Chophouse, Harold combined excellent service with a great sense of humor. He was quick, attentive, and added a personal touch that elevated the dining experience. Jason, the late-night bartender, was the perfect way to wind down the evening. He created a relaxed environment and was always up for a thoughtful conversation about life. Finally, Jono at the front desk was incredibly helpful and friendly. He went above and beyond to guide us on our evening plans, offering great recommendations for the Palm Beach area and making sure we felt confident in our choices. It’s clear that Edgar, as General Manager, runs an outstanding operation. The level of service, attention to detail, and overall atmosphere reflect strong leadership. If you’re looking for a peaceful, high-quality getaway in Aruba with exceptional service from start to finish, I highly recommend Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa.
Awesome resort and just what my wife & I and friends were looking for. Laid back, quiet, well maintained, super friendly staff, not over crowded ANYWHERE.
Manchebo Resort is a truly lovely place to relax, unwind, and restore. From the moment we arrived, everything about our stay felt thoughtful and special. The resort went above and beyond to help us celebrate two meaningful milestones—my 50th birthday and my daughter’s 20th birthday. This trip will forever live in our memories. The service was exceptional throughout our stay with the staff were consistently warm, friendly, and attentive, creating an atmosphere that made us feel welcomed and cared for at every turn. If you are looking for a place to truly relax, recharge, and feel pampered, Manchebo is the perfect choice. I highly recommend this resort and absolutely plan to return again and again.
We just got back from five nights at Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa… it was exactly what we were hoping for. This was our first trip to Aruba, and we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary, so we really wanted something more quiet, romantic, and relaxing. Manchebo nailed it. The location on Eagle Beach is just beautiful. The sunsets alone are worth it. We loved having the palapas with loungers and little tables, it made it super easy to settle in for the day or even just a few hours. And the servers on Segways taking orders and bringing drinks out to you… such a fun (and appreciated) touch! If you’re not into all the sand, the saltwater pool area is just as nice, with plenty of chairs and loungers. Though honestly, if you’re really not into sand… Aruba might not be your place 😂 From the moment we arrived, everything just felt easy and relaxed. We were greeted with a complimentary mojito (rum optional), given a quick tour of the resort, and then helped to our room with our luggage. We stayed in a Deluxe Ocean View room, and it was perfect for the two of us. The balcony overlooking the property and out to the ocean was small, but nice—two chairs, a little table, and even a drying rack for swimsuits and towels, which was really handy. We also added the breakfast package and the Romance Package and both were totally worth it and really added to the experience. If you’re looking for a smaller, more peaceful resort with a laid-back vibe, a beautiful beach, and great service, this is it. We will absolutely be back. 💛
The staff at this resort are fantastic ! Special shout out to the Ikes bistro crew for breakfast especially Delseta and the bar staff Liz & Dianna ! This is one of those resorts where the staff added to the already excellent experience
This was our third vacation in Aruba and we wanted to stay somewhere different. Manchebo came up in a search and the price was right and the accommodations looked great. We got a Deluxe Ocean View room and were only a 2-3 minute walk to the beach. The room was clean, albeit smaller than we expected, but really, the only need to be in the room was to sleep and shower. And the shower was great! One of those rain showers from above. The bed was very comfortable and the A/C worked well!!! The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. We needed to make a special request before arriving and they had no problem helping us. We purchased the breakfast package as we knew we wanted to revisit some of our favorite restaurants on the island for dinner. Breakfast at Ike's was consistently fresh with a variety of delicious healthy choices. The coffee was excellent (particularly in the room!) Before we went for breakfast, we'd grab our beach towels and get assigned a palapa. The palapa came with two lounge chairs, towels to cover the chairs, a clip to keep the towels in place, as it was very windy, and extra towels for when we got out of the water. Also, our room came with a small cooler that we brought to the beach which was a great touch! There's a sunscreen station where you get your towels, so we didn't have to bring our own. (SPF 30) We enjoyed lunch at Pega Pega a few days and were offered a variety of healthy, fresh meals too. There are two water stations on the resort where you can fill your own bottles or use the complimentary sustainable bottles gifted to you upon arrival. I had intended on participating in the daily complimentary yoga classes, but never made it. However it was almost always close to full and another nice touch. It's a quiet resort, which we were very happy about. Not a lot of families with children, although there were a few. Most of the restaurants we enjoyed were less than a 10 minute taxi ride, which the front desk happily calls for you. Across the street from the resort is a Casino, which we did not use, but there's a few shops and restaurants if you want to explore. It's in walking distance. One of the best experiences of our trip was that we were able to watch the sun set every night. The resort is located in the perfect position for that breathtaking picture. We highly recommend Manchebo and would definitely go back!
