Manchebo Beach Resort and Spa

After my first trip to Aruba, I will be back unless I am dead and THIS resort and their people are absolutely the reason why. If you haven't stayed here you should. The people here epitomize what the phrase "Happy Island" means. The location is beautiful and the staff and resort are beyond exceptional. I mean Eagle Beach is breathtaking. The resort is constantly maintained, cleaned, attended to and as a result is a stunningly beautiful place. To stay at a place like that on a beach like that was life changing. The entire Island is gorgeous. The water, beaches, walks, excursions, naps, culture, ect. are dream worthy almost everywhere there in my opinion. You should also know it is relatively easy to go visit/do all the stuff you want to up around the Palm Beach area and retreat back to this paradise on Eagle Beach that I can't imagine not returning to. (Basically, give yourself an extra 20 -30 minutes each way to get to anywhere just because you're on island time and have the most fun & relaxing time of your life.) As far as the staff is concerned, I can not possibly speak well enough about the staff as well as the other guests. The experience was truly dumbfounding. I have included more about a personal experience If you care to read it. I had a couple of situations (which had NOTHING to do with the resort) occur and Randall along with all the staff looked past my frustrations and made sure I was heard and it really mattered to them. It mattered not just in the way that they are required to care. WE ALL KNOW what that looks and sounds like... and this was different, way different. They even offered to make up for someone else taking advantage of my poor judgement. I mean who does that? I would never accept it, and I mean NEVER, but the offer was genuine and that meant more to me than any dollar amount. I know it is their job, but I also know these folks must have problems all their own, but you would never know it. They are true professionals, earn every dollar spent and deserve the praise they get and then some. They are phenomenal and they made us feel way more important than we ever deserve to be. Here they treat you like family while crossing no professional lines what so ever. Seriously, everywhere on that island is beautiful, some in very different ways mind you,but not everywhere on that island has them. That's the difference. Go there ,relax and enjoy. On a personal note, Thank you for caring about all your guests and treating us so well. My review is an understatement to say the least. You all give your very best and you all deserve the best.

First time in Aruba and I am in love! Every single person that works here was so kind and so friendly they definitely do cater to you. The location is super safe, beautiful views. The water is unbelievable, at times you think you have the beach to yourself. The chophouse restaurant is absolutely delicious. I wasn’t too crazy about the Japanese place They don’t have a lot of options for those who don’t like sushi. Overall, my experience was absolutely wonderful. I will definitely be back here. The only reason why I gave it Four stars is because I feel a resort like this should be adults only it’s kind of hard to relax when you have kids running around yelling in the pool this is a place where people come to relax that’s why it’s called a spa. This is not Disney World or Sesame Street or the park . Other than that the food was great, The atmosphere was great. It’s definitely a safe place and the beach was absolutely unforgettable. The rooms can be bigger, especially the bathroom. We didn’t have cold water the whole time we were there , maintenance did try to come up and he was super helpful even though nothing got fixed, but we do appreciate the effort. They do have a little store in the resort but get ready to spend a arm and a leg just for a couple of things me and my boyfriend bought a couple of souvenirs and ended up spending a little over $300 just on a couple of keychains, a pair of pants and T-shirt.

My girlfriend and I visited this hotel last summer. I really enjoy staying at this hotel because of the low key relaxation it offers. There will not be many children at this hotel and there are ample palapas on the beach for all of the hotel guests. There is no inconvenience of reserving beach chairs . Just walk out onto the beach and someone will help you to a palapa. The chophouse restaurant serves delicious food. I have stayed at this resort twice and I really like it. The rooms are a little distance from the ocean, so beware of partial ocean view rooms because the ocean can appear to be far from the room. Also, the one negative experience I had was that the hotel put another woman’s name on the welcome card and my girlfriend read the card. It caused problems for us the first night at the hotel. I had visited Manchebo many years before with a different woman at the time, and it appears that they just put the same name on the card without first asking for the names of both guests. When I complained to the front desk, the lady nervously laughed and apologized and that’s all they did to make up for the problems that ensued on the first night there. Also, we are a lesbian couple and one of the older female employees often looked at us while shaking her head. I ignored her, but I think it’s worth mentioning. I would still recommend this hotel because it is hassle free, very comfortable , and caters to adult guests.
