EXCELLENT place to spend a romantic getaway! Hotel is quaint, quiet, and has a very wide and deep beach. Multiple restaurants on site. Service staff is very friendly and helpful. Car rental on site. The whole complex is extremely clean with lots of wildlife (birds, lizards, etc) roaming about. Pool is very nice. Beds comfortable, bathrooms nice. Our TV was not a smart TV so we wouldn’t have been able to stream or cast anything but they changed it out when we asked! My only complaint is the lounge chairs on beach could be more comfortable. There is no lumbar support and the highest angle they sit up is about 45 degrees. And no neck pillow/towel for neck support. If Manchebo would upgrade the chairs, this place would be absolutely perfect. We would definitely stay here again!
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 unwind and relax.
Stop looking for the best- you’ve found it. A warm, welcoming place to stay on a stunning beach with both a very easy to access coast (and palapas ready and waiting!) and a gorgeous pool. Plus solid cocktails and decent food, lovely attendants who treat you like family, remarkably clean surroundings, and yoga. You can land and immediately change for the beach in the hospitality suite, and spend the afternoon there after checkout before heading to the airport. How fantastic!
Our wedding week at Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa was truly one of the most magical and unforgettable experiences of our lives. Aruba has held such a special place in my heart for years, so being able to marry my best friend there surrounded by the people we love most was a dream come true. From the very beginning, the entire team at Manchebo made us feel so cared for, supported, and celebrated. Every detail was handled so beautifully, and you could genuinely feel how much love and effort went into making our wedding week so special — not just for us, but for all of our guests too. And we truly cannot say enough amazing things about Nyoka. She was more than just our wedding planner throughout this process. She was calming during stressful moments, reassuring when I overthought things, incredibly organized, and always there whenever we needed her. Planning a destination wedding could have easily felt overwhelming, but because of Nyoka, it never did. She made everything feel effortless and made sure our vision came to life even more beautifully than we could have imagined. One of my favorite parts of the entire experience was seeing all of our friends and family fall in love with Aruba the same way I did years ago. Watching everyone create memories together in such a beautiful place meant everything to us. Walking down the beach, hearing the waves, seeing the sunset, and marrying the love of my life in a place that means so much to me is a memory I will cherish forever. We are beyond grateful to Nyoka and the entire Manchebo team for giving us a week and a wedding we will never stop talking about. Manchebo will forever feel like home to us now, and we already cannot wait to come back.
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 hospitality was truly taken to the next level. As someone who works in the hospitality industry, my expectations are always set high, and they did not disappoint at Manchebo! Luis and Jason were fantastic bartenders, and Josh never missed a beat on keeping our cups full and our towels dry as we relaxed on the beach. We also booked a Lomi massage with Spa Del Sol, which was incredibly relaxing. Yda was spectacular! The ChopHouse was one of our favorite restaurants on our entire trip, as we explored the island a week before coming to the resort. Cheloi was our server both nights and brought laughs and proper recommendations during our dining experiences. Speaking of recommendations, we did the all-inclusive package, and felt it was highly worth the price tag. We ate and drank to our hearts content. This resort has an eye for detail, and if you're looking to celebrate something special, or simply want to relax and not worry about a thing, let Manchebo resort take care of you!
