Manchebo Beach Resort and Spa

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!

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!

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!

Highly recommend! Great location and service was excellent! Loved the beach access and it was over crowded.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
