More Than Anything

What sets Manchebo apart is its staff. Measured by both tenure and temperament, this stellar team exudes a relaxed yet reliable vibe. Many have worked together for decades and their easy rhythm is evident throughout. It’s not unusual to see returning guests in a happy embrace with their favorite bartender or to find the resort’s longtime manager chatting with guests before a yoga class or to discover that the chef has tweaked the day’s menu to accommodate the arrival of a local fisherman’s morning catch or to watch four full-time gardeners tend to whatever is blooming in the resort’s two greenhouses.

Like a Gentle Undercurrent

The island’s Dutch heritage is subtle yet ever-present, a fact that would delight the resort’s founder, Izaak “Ike” Cohen, a hotelier, entrepreneur and exuberant entertainer from the Netherlands who envisioned Aruba as a prime tourist destination long before the larger world discovered this island’s charms. Aruba’s history and heritage shine though in ways large and small.
