  A wonderful, relaxed hotel on the most fantastic beach

  It doesn’t matter where you stay in this hotel, the beach is a few steps away. The water is crystal clear, balmy and you can always swim. The beach really is the best on Aruba. The complex is not so large that there are crowds anywhere, our stay was very relaxed and comfortable, the room very clean and quiet. The chophouse has an amazing kitchen, well worth the visit. Breakfast is menu based, but eating your way through the selection is a joy. Most of all, the friendliness of the staff and their help in any situation is great. If we ever make it back we’ll be sure to stay here. A special mention to the topdrive car rental in the hotel who gave us a cute little jeep for our stay.

  Manchebo is a serene beachfront retreat with top service, Aruba-style Lomi Lomi, and great dining. We’ll be back!

  A True Sanctuary of Hospitality, Relaxation, and Wellness From the moment we arrived at Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa, we were embraced with warmth and hospitality. Andrew greeted us immediately, making us feel right at home, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay started off perfectly. Though our room wasn’t quite ready, he quickly secured one for us while we enjoyed a refreshing mojito and a tour of the beautiful property. Andrew remained attentive from start to finish, ensuring every detail of our stay was seamless and enjoyable. As we walked through the resort, we had the privilege of meeting many of the incredible staff members—several of whom have been with Manchebo for decades, dating back to its time under the well-loved Cohen family. It was clear that the resort has maintained its commitment to impeccable service and guest experience. Exceptional Staff & Service—Hospitality at Its Best Throughout our stay, the hospitality was unparalleled. Every staff member we encountered was attentive, friendly, and proactive. Whether it was helping with extra pillows, offering thoughtful restaurant recommendations, or arranging taxis, they made sure we had everything we needed. The staff’s genuine joy in their work was infectious. It was evident that management treats their full-time employees incredibly well. Many work long shifts, rotating a couple of days off, especially during high season. Yet, despite the demanding hours, there wasn’t a single moment when we saw a sour face—only smiles from sunrise to sunset. Special shoutouts to: • Cynthia, the warm and welcoming manager for the morning food shift, whose presence made every meal more enjoyable. • Fanny, Ada, Jean, Avi Maria, and Aracelys—who went above and beyond with attentive service and a kind-hearted approach. • The beach staff, who graciously set up our Palapas each morning and delivered delicious food and drinks throughout the day. • The security and groundskeepers, who ensured a safe and welcoming environment—even in a place where we already felt completely at ease. Many guests we met were return visitors, some for six years, others for many more—which speaks volumes about the quality of service and experience. A Location That Feels Like Paradise Manchebo’s location is breathtaking—nestled right on the shores of pristine white sands and tranquil turquoise waters. The resort offers Tiki huts (palapas) that you can reserve, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the serenity of the ocean. The resort’s beautifully designed layout creates a sense of community and tranquility, making it feel like a private sanctuary. The three main restaurants and the pool are all centered around an open-air dining space, creating a cozy yet airy ambiance. Spacious, Beachfront Accommodations Our room was spacious, offering the perfect balance of comfort and beachside convenience. Stepping outside, we found ourselves just seconds from the sandy shores, making each morning feel like an absolute dream. Additionally, the in-room safes provided an extra level of security, giving us peace of mind for storing valuables. Incredible Wellness & Spa Experience—Don’t Miss the Aruba-Style Lomi Lomi! Manchebo’s spa is an absolute must! Luz, the spa manager, is expertly trained and licensed in multiple types of massage and ensures her staff is equally well-trained. Don’t miss the Aruba-style Lomi Lomi massage! This traditional massage is done with coconut oil and long, flowing strokes that create an incredibly relaxing and therapeutic experience. We indulged in double Lomi Lomi sessions—I had mine with Camile, and my partner had theirs with Shadel. Both were phenomenal! If you’re used to deep massage and open to whole-body flowing muscle strokes, we highly recommend splurging on the 80 minutes! We also tried the Shiatsu massage, which was equally rejuvenating, thanks to the skilled hands of Erlinda. Delicious & Fresh Dining—The Breakfast is a Must! We opted for the inclusive breakfast and loved it! Highly recommended—it runs from 7:00 to 11:00 a.m. every day. • The Açaí bowl was a favorite! • We tried every smoothie (get them before 10:45 a.m., made fresh by the wonderful Fanny). • The fresh orange juice is a must! • If you’re not a coconut lover, skip the French toast option. Activities & Wellness Options • We enjoyed the Vinyasa yoga class, which was a great way to start the morning. • The resort is located right by a walking/bike path, which made for a scenic run. For beachgoers, the resort provides coolers and free ice, along with SPF 30 aloe-based sunblock just off Pega Pega restaurant. There are also two filtered water stations to keep hydrated throughout the day. Adults Only One of the aspects we particularly loved was that Manchebo is an adults-only resort. This created a peaceful and intimate environment—exactly what we were looking for on our getaway. Final Thoughts Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa is a true sanctuary—a place where hospitality shines, the staff genuinely care, and every detail is thoughtfully curated to create a relaxing, luxurious, and memorable stay. We left the resort with hugs, a testament to how much we felt at home. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful beachfront retreat, outstanding service, or a top-tier wellness experience, this resort delivers on all fronts. We can’t wait to return!

  Another amazing stay at the Manchebo

  This is our second stay at the Manchebo and it is still our favorite resort in Aruba. The food is so good! Fresh & healthy! Absolutely love the Pega Pega salads and a special shout out to Jen our server for most of the week. Always smiling and so friendly. Truly the best service! Also would like to recognize Shilpa and Rocheline for handling our reservations and room. We appreciate all your help. Lastly Andrew needs special recognition as he greeted us every time we entered the resort and left with a smile and offer of any help we may need. We can’t say enough about the beauty of this resort, its special place with immaculate grounds. Also took advantage of the yoga in the pavilion which is such a great start to your day. We can’t wait to go back!! Thank you Manchebo for another memorable vacation!

  Mancheba Beach Resort is a hidden gem

  Manchebo Beach Resort &Spa is truly a hidden gem. This was our 2nd trip to Manchebo. I would highly recommend Manchebo. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. As we were signing in the restaurant came and served us a complimentary drink. They have a beautiful pool area the staff is so friendly getting you a drink or something to eat.
