Manchebo Beach Resort and Spa

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.

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.

Great vacation for couples or families. Great activities, wonderful comfortable beach, and amazing staff.

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.

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!!

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.
