Manchebo Beach Resort and Spa

positive constructive visit, not as nice overall as previous years, restaurant experience not as good

We always look forward to recovering from the holidays at Manchebo. The beach is beautiful and we always receive outstanding service. We love the yoga and Pilates classes, followed by a healthy breakfast at Ike’s

We have been to Aruba in excess of 13 times over 45years and have stayed at several hotels. 45 years ago it was the Concord high-rise. Then stayed at the LA Cabana many times and when we couldn't get in, we stayed at the Amsterdam Manor . We also stayed at the Marriot Stellaris in Palm Beach. The hustle and bustle in the palm beach area was a great place to shop eat and visit but wore thin for relaxation. La Cabana under went its big Renovation and so we , by suggestion from our Nephew, we booked Manchebo. The staff was just super! - always with a big smile and a Bon dia from the gardeners to the restaurant wait staff, housekeeping to the management. The vibe was a breath of fresh air-the beach was nicer (how could that be?)-the sand seemed cleaner then a mile north and not clogged with bussed in cruise ship guests. The water was definitely clearer-with at least ten foot visibility. The grounds had a real Zen feel , there were strategically placed water dispensers that tallied that each machine had saved 24K+ plastic bottles from the environment! NICE. The Restaurants were all first class-the chefs are the real unsung members of this hotel. Great presentation be it at the acai bowel at breakfast or the creamy fish chowder at dinner!! And lunch was a hoot-Beverages and a full menu delivered via Segue to our palapa. We vacation 2-3 times a year and this visit was a fill in trip between two other trips-Next year Manchebo will be a headliner-to look forward to!! When People as us how we liked our stay -we almost don't want to share this secret jewel of south Eagle Beach-but just have to!

I’ve travelled extensively around the world staying at luxury resorts. I’d would place Manchebo near the top of the list. The only area of concern is the fact that non-registered guests would occupy the beach on the property and use the Palapas without using the Resort chairs. I appreciate this is beyond the hotels control although we did not see the same next-door at Bucuti and Tara.

Our amazing travel team recommended this resort for our adult family of 6 people. It was the most amazing time, the service was excellent, the ambiance was perfect, the staff was exceptional! Our entire family said this was the best vacation we have ever taken. We are so thankful for the time we had together!

Manchebo Beach Resort had the best access to one of the widest beaches on the island. The beach never felt crowded. The resort provided so many nice touches. The yoga instructors were excellent and the setting perfect.

Excellent vacation overall! Beautiful beach but long distance to water. Hot tub at spa desperately needs to be replaced with an updated model and should actually have hot water.

Perfect size property on the cleanest, widest, lest crowded stretch of Eagle Beach. Elevated dining with fantastic staff throughout the resort. Can’t wait to return.

We liked: - Nice beach. - Good vegan options at every meal. We did not like: - It often takes a very long time to get your food at the restaurants. - The New Year's dinner prix fixe was very disappointing. It was trying to be fancy but totally fell flat, almost all of the dishes were not good. I expect more, especially given that it was $90 per person.

We had the Best time at Manchebo for our 40 th. Anniversary. We had a beautiful time and the room was perfect and you walk out to the ocean view every day. We had the sweetest maid named Joan and she did everything to make our stay wonderful. On the beach we want to Thank Juliane for the wonderful service on the beach. The drinks were amazing and he was fast. All the wait staff were very friendly and amazing. We had great food in all the restaurants. The chop house made our Anniversary one to remember. I can’t find anything bad to say. We will be back.
