The real beauty of Manchebo is the gorgeous beach. It is massive, the sand is soft and the beach is generally uncrowded.
What I wish I
could change:
The hotel runs a high occupancy due to its popularity, so book early if you are traveling during peak periods.
Why YOU should
go:
If you are looking for probably the best best beach in Aruba, affordable accommodation, and a couple of excellent on property restaurants, look no further. There is also the Alhambra Casino a short stroll away. Be sure to do one of the beach front massages.
This intimate resort on Aruba's widest beach offers Caribbean charm with just 71 well-appointed guest rooms. A place for rejuvenating vacations featuring a lush outdoor Caribbean-Balinese style spa facility overlooking the turquoise sea. Optional all-inclusive program and close to the Alhambra Casino.

The Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa is nestled on the largest of Aruba's beaches an unspoiled expanse of soft white sand in which one can almost get lost, and to which one will long to return. Enjoy swimming, scuba diving, windsurfing, golfing or just relax under a palm tree sipping on a passion fruit daiquiri.
Whatever your pleasure, you are sure to find it here at this wonderful resort modeled after paradise. The small property is situated on 14 acres. Ten of those are comprised of a prime section of Eagle Beach, a stretch of white, powdery sand dotted with 40-plus thatched roof shades, offering personalized service in an intimate atmosphere.
Adjacent to the beach, an open-air health spa features thatched-roof wood gazebos built in Bali, a wet-treatment room, a steam room, spa tub, and a variety of massage treatments, facials, and nail care (surcharges for all spa and beauty products, treatments, services).
