| Nice hotel, nothing special: you get what you pay for. Very friendly staff and beautiful setting. Right on the beach that is relatively quiet and caters to an adult crowd.

| We have stayed Manchebo 4 or 5 times. In past years, our rooms were cleaner. The floors were not swept during our week's stay as evidenced by a couple of dead flies we killed in the room. They stayed on the floor. Otherwise, the French Steakhouse was as good as ever.

| The Manchebo Beach Resort is a gem. It's in the low rise area so if you're looking for a party vacation, this is not the right hotel for you but if you're looking for the most beautiful beach in Aruba and a relaxing, quiet hotel, you can't do better than Manchebo. It's within an easy bus ride to shoping and the high rises and very close to a casino. While the rooms could use some sprucing up, overal it's a good hotel at a good price with very nice and helpful employees.

| We stayed at Manchebo for our Honeymoon. They have the most beautiful beach on the Island!! The Hotel is very comfortable. Not crowded like the High-rise area. The staff very friendly and helpful. When we go back we will definitly stay at Manchebo Beach resort. The food was good, a little pricey. Wonderful place to vacation.

| This lovely hotel retains the relaxing atmosphere of older tropical hotels with wicker furniture, tropical print accessories, and a welcome relief from buzzers, horns, and other reminders of the faster-paced life that we came from. Couple this with the most genuinely courteous and kind staff, excellent eateries and the berautiful beach and gentle trade winds, and you will have found a small piece of paradise in the paradise that is Aruba.

| A great place to relax and close to both ends of the island. Most beautiful beach on the island. Excellent food, but not much variety. Pool left a little to be desired, but overall a great place to stay!

| I must start out by stating that the three most outstanding features of the hotel are 1) the warm friendly and over accomodating staff 2) Food quality & presentation that should rank with the "big boys" of Aruba restaurants 3) The Spa. We attended my son's wedding which was held at sunset on the beach. The arrangements for the wedding service were executed perfectly. The dinner in the outdoor pavilion was served graciously. The attention to detail was supurb. The rooms leave a little to be desired, but are clean and comfortable for sleeping. They are not the type of rooms you would want to spend a rainy day in ( are there rainy days in Aruba?). Would I stay here again? Yes, but not as a first choice only because of the spartan room amenities.

| We enjoyed staying here. It was very relaxing-we could just walk straight to the beach from our back door. It is an older hotel-& more quaint than the newer higher rise hotels. Close to good restaurants & the food was very good at the hotel. A great casino is in walking distance. A great hotel for quiet & rest. If you want to party-you need to stay at a high rise hotel.
