Located in the middle of Manchebo Beach, Aruba's largest, widest, and quietest sugar-white beach, Best Western Manchebo Beach Resort is known for its friendly, courteous staff whose personal attention, combined with a relaxed casual European atmosphere, make you feel right at home. Our setting is a coconut grove, with 71 air-conditioned rooms overlooking either the beach, palms, or brightly-flowered gardens. All have cable TV, direct dial telephones, safe deposit boxes and refrigerators.

Guest facilities include an Olympic-sized freshwater pool and a volleyball court. Our full-service dive center, Mermaid Sport Divers, has certified instructors and equipment rental for snorkeling, scuba diving and underwater photography. The waters off Manchebo are crystal clear and ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and windsurfing (available nearby). Tennis courts are located next door and gambling and shopping at the Alhambra Casino & Shopping Bazaar across the street.

Our first-class dining options include the open-air Patio Restaurant and the Pega Pega Bar and Grill, the French Steak House with its gourmet menu and savory salad bar and Bistro Aruba which has festive special theme nights, island shows, sumptuous buffets, international a-la-carte dining, and dancing to great local music.
