  An absolute hidden gem

  I would come here time and time again. Secluded, expansive and gorgeous beach, beautiful gardens and just so peaceful. My mom and I had the most amazing and can’t wait to return.

  Fabulous, as always!

  This was our fourth stay at Manchebo Beach and we're already thinking of the next trip! They have the best beach on the island and the staff are all fabulous. Don't miss a trip to the spa.

  Absolute Bliss at Manchebo — The Ultimate Aruba Retreat

  If you’re looking for a serene, adults-only slice of paradise with five-star service and a soul-soothing vibe, Manchebo Resort and Spa should be your next stop. We just returned from a stay that felt like an exhale I didn’t know I needed. Let’s start with the spa, which deserves its own fan club. I had one of the best treatments of my life — a full scrub, wrap, and massage — all steps away from the beach, with the sound of the waves replacing spa music. The staff? Impeccable. Everyone was friendly and attentive, but special shoutouts go to Andrew, who went above and beyond. Luggage, cars, island tips, you name it — he handled it with ease and a smile. And Liz behind the bar? A gem. Her cocktails were top-notch and her energy lit up the space every evening. Rooms were recently renovated and beautifully done — sleek, modern, and super comfortable. I loved having a private balcony with easy access to outdoor space. It’s clear they’ve paid attention to every detail. Beach service was the cherry on top: private palapas, menus delivered straight to your lounger from the beach bar and grill, and even a cooler provided by the hotel so you can keep your drinks cold without lifting a finger. Now that’s hospitality. The on-site restaurants were consistently excellent — fresh, flavorful, and with options to please every palate. Whether you’re going all in with a multi-course dinner or grabbing something light by the water, you’re in good hands. In short, Manchebo feels like the kind of place that remembers what true hospitality looks like — relaxed luxury, personalized attention, and a deep respect for rest and renewal. I can’t wait to come back.

  Always our Favorite Resort

  This was our third visit to the wonderful Manchebo and we will return! There a few reasons why we keep coming back (great property, great food, the best beach, relaxing atmosphere etc.). However, the biggest reason is the staff. Many have worked there for decades (a testament to the quality of the management) and they are all so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. You'll see...

  Wonderful Relaxing Week on a Beautiful Beach at a VERY Special Resort!

  If you are looking for a big, beautiful beach with palapas spread far apart from each other and a boutique resort feel, this is it! We are 67 and semi retired. We have traveled to many islands and stayed at many resorts over the past 30+ years. This was one of our favorites. We started our day with the Yoga and Pilates offered, then beached under a palapa and drank and ate from Pega Pega, which had excellent food with fast beach service. Get the cob salad! When we were too hot, we dipped in the gorgeous pool which never seemed to have more than 4-5 people in it! Everything is very close in proximity and very easy to get around due to the resort's size. For dinner, we enjoyed Ike's and the Chop House but honestly, there are so many nice restaurants in Aruba to chose from. What makes Manchebo so special is a combination of the staff (who many have been there for over 30 years), the beach real estate which is larger than any other resort here and the quaint, intimate, two-story resort feel you get with less than 50 rooms. Also, there is a manager's meet and greet every Tuesday from 4-6pm in the pavilion with free drinks and some really good local vendors to buy treasures from. We loved our 8 days and will definitely be back!
