The beach is beautiful, quiet and relaxing
My wife and I agree, this has been the best vacation we have had in 25 years. We returned to Manchebo for our 25th anniversary last week and had a great, great time. The beach is beautiful, quiet and relaxing. There is no getting to beach early to get your pick of spots, every spot is the best. The service is unmatched, the outdoor bar is fun and entertaining, the rooms are great. We can’t wait to come back next year. We will be like so many other people that we met at Manchebo, who return year after year.

Everything was perfect for us!
We stayed at Manchebo Beach Resort from December 15-22 to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. There are just too many great things to say about the hotel, staff, beach and restaurants in such a few sentences. Everything was perfect for us, and we were able to leave our watches and cell phones in the safe while dreamily enjoying the white powder and uncrowded beach, warm clear ocean and swaying tropical breezes for a week while friends and relatives back home froze in 6 inches of ice and snow. What a contrast! Many, many thanks to Edgar, Jonesey, Sandra and Sandra for going out of their way to get to know us and make us feel more than welcome. The food, drinks and prices were well within our expectations and we had only good surprises. Our 30th anniv. honeymoon will stay with us forever.

This was our third trip to Manchebo
What a great place. Beautiful beach, good service, excellent food. This was our third trip back and we just couldn’t imagine being anywhere else. The rooms were nicely updated but the beach is what you go for. Sundays are a bit busy with the local people but other than that it is peace and quiet. The water is warm and tropical, the sun is hot hot hot. We always do the All Inclusive and really enjoy the French Steak House. Raymond is the best; and our breakfast would not be complete with Ada - good luck with the little new one. If you are looking for a quiet resort to just kick back - this is it. Try sitting on the beach at night - you’d be amazed at the number of stars you can see.
We did venture out one night to the Flying Fishbone but it is much more crowded than the pictures show and my husbands chair was actually on a slant so steep he had to sit on the edge of the chair to eat! The food was okay but very expensive.
But back to Manchebo - the air conditioning was excellent; the rooms always clean, the grounds are very pretty and the spa is not to be missed. Excellent as always.

Manchebo was wonderful!
My husband and I recently returned from our stay at the Manchebo to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. It was wonderful! The room was clean, the beach was beautiful and the food was delicious. The waitstaff was friendly and knew us by name by the end of our trip. We would highly recommend the Manchebo if you’re looking for a quieter stay away from the high rise area. The beach was not crowded and it was easy to get a spot close to the water. The rooms are nice, but they don’t have the frills of the high rise and it was well worth the price. We did the all inclusive and found it was definitely worth it. We had a voucher to go off the resort for one evening and it was a nice change, but we found the restaurants at the resort to have a variety of food and every meal was excellent. If you have the chance, visit the Spa for a massage, it was the most relaxing we’ve had!We can’t wait to return to Aruba and we would stay at Manchebo again!
