I can't say enough about our incredible stay here. My wife and I stayed 5 nights at Manchebo. We splurged a little to get a room with an ocean view, and we are so happy with our decision. The entry way was so beautiful, with the best breeze on the island. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful...

Miss it already! My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and we had a magnificent time. From check-in, to hanging out on the private beach, to having lunch at Pega Pega, to the spa services, everything was highly satisfactory in every category. The staff was absolutely wonderful and the hospi...

All in all we had a pleasant stay, the service is remarkable. You build a relationship with certain personnel and that makes the stay very lovely. The beach is beautiful and we had the chance to see life prosper in front of our own eyes in form of hatching sea-turtles. The only critique I have is th...

What a great place to spend a week. Resort employees are very friendly and helpful. We ate breakfast all but one day at Ikes and it was great with an awesome view. Ate lunch several days at Pega Pega and it was good. Beach is quiet and not many people. Just overall a great place to be to unwin...

Inclusions change and vary by room category and season, so always confirm with the resort before booking. How we verify this.

Rooms & Suites

Who fits where at Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa

The right room is personal: a swim-out for the pool people, a top floor for the view people, two real bedrooms and two baths for families who like a little distance. Here's the lineup from the resort's own accommodations pages.

Deluxe Garden View
1 bedroom · 32 m² / 344 ft² · Garden
Deluxe Ocean View

From the resort's own accommodations pages. Categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.

The Daily Reality

Food, pools & the beach itself

Where you'll actually spend the week: how many places there are to eat and drink, what the pool scene offers, and what the water in front of the resort is really like.

The beach itself

Gradual walk-in entry

Wide Eagle Beach setting with a quiet, low-rise resort feel; swimmability is supported by recurring guest/community discussion but beach conditions can vary.

Venue counts come from the resort's own pages; beach conditions draw on monitoring data and consistent traveler reports. The sea doesn't read press releases, so treat seasonal notes as odds, not promises.

For Families

Taking the kids to Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa?

A family week turns on the details brochures skip: whether the kids' club is genuinely supervised, who watches the baby on date night, and whether four of you fit in one room. Here's what we've verified.

Pros

  • Excellent Eagle Beach location with a quieter low-rise atmosphere.
  • Small room count and four named restaurants make the property easy to navigate.
  • Premium all-inclusive option is unusually food-focused for Aruba.

Cons

  • All-inclusive is optional and may not be the best value for light eaters.
  • Limited pool scene compared with larger Aruba resorts.
  • Not designed for nightlife seekers.

Things to know

  • All-inclusive is optional, not the default rate; compare the premium plan against breakfast-only or room-only pricing before booking.
  • The resort is intentionally small and wellness-oriented, which is a strength for quiet beach stays but a limitation for travelers wanting a large-resort entertainment program.
  • Premium bottles and selected high-cost menu items can carry surcharges even on the all-inclusive plan.

Hidden tips

  • For short stays or guests planning several off-property dinners, the optional all-inclusive plan may not beat paying as you go.
  • Garden-view rooms can be a practical value play because the resort footprint is compact.

From Reddit
