- Lakegirl75 contributionsManchebo Beach resortManchebo Beach resort was not our 1st choice but stayed because we couldn’t get a room next door at Bucuti Beach resort. However, I couldn’t be more pleased ! Everyone works to make you welcome and relaxed as soon as you arrive and continue to work to stay turned in to your needs, comfort , and privacy. We would definitely book again! Bucuti is adults only but ai think Manchebo will allow children. Both are directly on Eagle Beach which is perfectVisited May 2023Written 16 May 2023
- PuraVidaRoseAsheville, North Carolina100 contributionsQuiet resort beach.This beach is part of the Manchebo resort and part of Eagle beach. The chairs and palapas are reserved for guests only and they will run you off the chairs if you aren’t a guest. This is not the place for kids. It’s quiet and the waves are bigger. The undertow or current is also stronger here. If you have littles I’d go to Palm beach area, Arashi beach for easier swimming. With that said we enjoyed the beach, it was great for relaxing and peaceful naps away from the hustle. We would definitely recommend here or Eagle beach.Visited July 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 20 July 2023
- Sally B1 contributionAnniversary TripWe went for our 50th anniversary. The property is beautiful and the staff from the beach to the front staff is amazing. Thank you to Randall who welcomed us the first day and made our anniversary dinner special. Thank you to everyone on the staff who were so helpful. A special thank you to Christian, Karel and Andrew in security who helped a scared wife get her husband to the emergency room. And a special thank you to Setchel, Sandra, Swinda, Majida and Klark who drove me back and forth to the hospital. If I forgot a name, I’m sorry. Thank you to all. Hoping to see you for #51.Visited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten 5 October 2023
- charlottemary13 contributionsPerfect LocationMy husband and I just returned from Manchebo Beach Club and Spa. This was our third stay at this hotel. The beach is amazing and the hotel is beautiful just 73 rooms. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect calm and never crowded. It's like being on a private island. You are just a short cab ride away from all the night action. There is no better place to stay.Visited November 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 11 November 2023
- Colleen C2 contributionsPerfect Couple GetawayWe had the absolute best time at Manchebo! This was our second trip to Aruba and first time at Manchebo but will certainly be back. From our check in, O’Neal gave us a great tour and answered all our questions. The beach is beautiful, well maintained and plenty of sitting with palapas for everyone! All of the meals were excellent and the breakfast was great- we loved the smoothies. Jean was very helpful at breakfast at Ike’s. The resort was very peaceful and tranquil and there is yoga offered daily. The room was spotless. The entire resort was clean and the staff made sure anything you needed was taken care of. Renick at the beach helped set up chairs each day and provided plenty of towels. Magaly at Pega Pega Bar made great drinks and was very personable. We liked the mushroom burger for lunch. Although there are 3 dinner options the food is delicious and we loved all our meals. Manchebo created a paradise within paradise that we didn’t even want to leave the resort! We will certainly return to Manchebo on our future trips and highly recommend!Visited December 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 27 December 2023

Pretty beach! Rough surf! Currents cross at the point and makes swimming potentially difficult. Dangerous for small children. But again, the beach is pretty.

The facility is beautiful with open space, interesting landscaping, and a wonderful beach. The staff is equally wonderful and provide a great experience. We have gone twice and plan to go again.

A very beautiful beach. Postcard perfect sand and water color. Not crowded but there’s very little shade and he water can be rough at times. Still one of the best beaches in Aruba…

Located near the low rise resorts, this beach is well worth a visit and walk with soft sand and great views

Is the water really rough compared to palm beach? I really want to stay here but am concerned about the rough water. Basically can I put a raft in the water and just relax without getting sea sick ? And can I swim without waves weighing me down? Just want calm waters and don’t want to waste my money staying at this hotel if the water is rough. This is my only concern.

I spent the month of January in Aruba and choose to go to Manchebo beach almost all the time. Never had problems with rocks/coral or waves being too rough. This is my favorite beach on the island.

Hi I will be coming here in 2 weeks which will be my 2nd time in 10 years, I loved this place as then it was perfect, now I've read some reviews the there is coral or rocks in the water and the waves are rough, it was so calm the this is the reason we are returning, hopefully there are no issues with the water this time.

I spent the month of January going to mostly Manchebo because it was our favorite beach. I never saw rocks or coral. It is so clear and doesn't drop the way some of the other beaches do. If you walk further down towards the Divi, they have rocks all over the beach. Very disappointing. Going the other way is Eagle beach and they have lots of drops into the water. If you want rocks and coral, go up past Palm Beach and you will find plenty of beach to snorkel if that is what you want.

We are staying inland. Are the beach chairs/shade only for resort guests or can anyone use them? What about parking? We are traveling with small kids and want a beach that we can have access to facilities. Thanks! We didn’t care for baby beach.

We rent through Airbnb and stay a month in Aruba in January. If you rent a car, you can park anywhere, near any beach. Manchebo is our favorite and it is not just for hotel guests. What you can't do is use their chairs. Ask your hosts if they supply beach chairs and coolers. Ours do and did. Manchebo has parking in 2 different places. We have walked and used the Divi's bathrooms or gone the other way and used that resort's bathrooms. No one stops you, especially if you stop for a drink at their bar on the beach. Eagle beach has plenty of parking too. I didn't care for Baby Beach. Go to Arashi beach if you want to snorkel. The Cabana resort across from Eagle beach has happy hour and so worth it if you are on the beach.
Have fun!

Yes, you may take a taxi from the cruise port - not very expensive. All of the beaches in Aruba are public. WCWV always parks in the hotel parking lot at Spa Del Sol - Manchebo Resort Hotel and walk through the lobby. There are two very nice restaurants in the hotel - a chop steak house and a asian type. Both are outstanding! Walk pass the hotel pool and follow the path to the beach. Again, visit the SPA - a must! Tell them World Class Wedding Venues referred you. 100%, you will LOVE it!

Get a massage at the Machebo Spa and you will get a beach chair, towel, and use of the shower for free. World Class Wedding Venues - Say "I Do" Worldwide - our team visits the spa several times a year and LOVES it, love the beach at Manchebo. In front of the spa is a great Fig Tree - the best tree on the island. You can have your chairs placed there. You can also walk down to Ricardo's for a great inexpensive lunch.
