The hotel

Staking its claim to a prime patch of Eagle Beach — Aruba’s widest and arguably its most stunning arc of sand — Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa certainly makes the most of its seaside setting. You rarely have to tear yourself from the shoreline, whether you’re dining, drinking, or enjoying downtime — although all the fun of Oranjestad is just 10 minutes away if you do and it is well worth a visit. Its spa features beachside cabanas for al fresco treatments. Its Pega-Pega beach grill dishes up casual lunches and an attentive beach cocktail service. Its daily yoga and Pilates classes are held in the seafront pavilion. And even its fitness room overlooks the beach. If that’s not close enough, you’ve got 55 beach cabanas and plenty of complimentary loungers on the sands themselves. Featuring four restaurants including The Chophouse, Omakase Sushi Bar, Ike’s Bistro and casual beachside dining at Pega-Pega Café and Beach Bar, there is something to satisfy every tastebud. An optional premium all-inclusive program is available, so you'll be able to sample all the delicious delights that Manchebo has to offer, not forgetting the premium open bar of course!

We were the first flight from the US to land in Aruba after it officially opened to the US. When we arrived at the resort the entire staff including a band were there to welcome us. Little did we realize that they were welcoming us as the first guests back after reopening!! The staff is wonderful, their attention to cleaning due to the new restrictions was very obvious. During the time closed they are remodeling the entrance which will make the arrival experience very special. The entire week was special. This is our fifth time staying and each time it gets better. Several associates that deserve mentioning are Phoebus, Carmen, Ajelandra, Sandra, William, Joe, Emily, Stephanie, Ada, Joan, Agnes and Majilda.. Read less

Although we are disappointed, we are grateful that we are healthy and safe. Unlike many others. Plus, it’s always nice to have something to look forward to. Vivian was very fast to respond when we had to cancel. She was very kind ,like everyone we’ve encountered in our past stays. I would never even consider staying anywhere but Manchebo. Best place ever. Laid back with superb staff. Hope everyone is well, and safe. See you all next year! Read less

This was our third visit to Manchebo and it was long overdue! My husband and I first came here back in 2014 and 2015 before we were married. We have traveled to some beautiful places since then, but we always kept comparing them to Eagle Beach and Manchebo. The food is delicious, the staff are so fun, friendly, and accommodating, and the beach is breathtaking. I wrote a pretty detailed review the last time we visited, but I wanted to write this one to shout out to some of the staff who made our stay extra special this time around. First, the sushi is a must have if you are able to get a reservation. Normally sushi isn’t my first choice when we go out to dinner, but I actually requested we go for the night of my birthday dinner while we were there because it’s that good!! Mylene is the chef there and she does an amazing job. She puts so much thought and creativity into her dishes and she is just the sweetest person to chat with. We met her in 2015 when the restaurant first opened and were so excited we got to reconnect and catch up with her on our visit. She even made me a delicious birthday dessert :) Jordanny was our server both nights we ate at Omakase and he was fantastic as well! On the nights we didn’t eat at Omakase we ate by the pool at Ike’s Bistro. Our server Jason was THE BEST! He was so warm and welcoming and he kept us laughing for our entire stay. We wound up stopping in to say hi to him even on the nights we weren’t eating at Ike’s. Finally, happy hour is a lot of fun at Pega Pega and they have great drink specials if you’re not doing the all inclusive. Ignacio is hilarious behind the bar and knows how to make some great drinks! We miss it there already and can’t wait to come back someday! Read less
