Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort

Overall, a mediocre experience. Arrival was great, got a dixie cup of some rum punch stuff. Staff welcomed us and got us situated right away and very professionally. Room was average at best. We got the manor studio and certainly not much too it. A few inoperable things in the room that we didn't have a use for, but wanted to try (some LED light on top of bed, air purifier).

There is a Caffiety system brewer in the room. Could not figure out how to use the darn thing, only brewed 2oz at a time. Still, nice to have.

Didn't use the pool because it opened at 8 AM and closed at 8 PM. Those hours are pretty poor in my opinion, La Cabana next door, Hyatt, Barcelo, Embassy, and Raddison nearby all had pools to use into late evening hours. Certainly missed this from Amsterdam.

Location was probably the most negative aspect to this hotel. Two reasons: smell and street noise. The resort is immediately downwind to Aruba's wastewater treatment facility and you can clearly smell the feces/waste. Reviews from 2022 note the smell as well and the resort's response note that the country is investing money to fix this. More than two years later and nothing changed, means that is not true and/or someone in City government simply got rich. The street alongside the hotel and in front of the resort is apparently a popular spot to street race/rev engines/squeal out....very disrupting into all hours of night. Not sure they have Polis that care enough.

5/5 for the staff though. Very nice and helpful. Great team there.

In front of the resort, on the beach are numerous huts for guests and most of the time they were occupied by other tourists or locals. We could not get a hut several times and just setup in the open sand. They don't enforce this apparently as we watched staff walk by and nothing. They also do not provide service to the huts despite a sign on the huts saying otherwise. Beach is dirty. Trash, cigerattes, plastic, rope etc.. I stepped on broken glass in the water in front of the Manor's beach--fortunately, it was sharp side down.

Me and spouse have traveled to several tropical locations over the past 5 years now and this [Aruba in general] ranks dead-last. Expensive, dirty, a desert environment, smelly, and everything is ala carte, imported an flat-out expensive.

Beer here is in 7oz bottles and about $7 at 5% ABV making this a very poor deal, walk to the Super Foods and buy 'em for about $2/bottle there.

We would not return here mainly because it smells pretty bad and the street noise made two nights pretty tough. Our room was on the corner of the main drag and this side street, C11.

Property is nice, but the smell of feces from the water treatment plant is unbearable. We couldn’t sit outside on the beach or on the terrace. We ended up leaving the property during the day to get away from the smell. The smell ruins the entire experience.

Dear Guest, thank you for taking the time to share your experiences of your recent stay with us. We were pleased to learn that you really enjoyed your time with us. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the from time-to-time unpleasant smell coming from the Aruban water treatment plant, the authorities are occupied with solving these malfunctions and seem to be successful. We do hope that despite this inconvenience you enjoyed your vacation on our happy Island.

Kind regards,

I had an unforgettable stay at Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort on Eagle Beach in Aruba. From the moment I arrived, the friendly staff made me feel right at home. The resort's charming Dutch colonial architecture, surrounded by lush gardens, set a picturesque scene. My spacious one-bedroom suite was beautifully appointed, featuring a comfortable California king bed, modern bathroom, and a private porch with stunning ocean views. Dining at Horizons Lounge and Passions on the Beach was a culinary delight, offering exquisite dishes with breathtaking views. Just steps away from the pristine Eagle Beach, Amsterdam Manor provides a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, with excellent amenities, reliable Wi-Fi for remote work, and easy access to local attractions. This resort truly made my trip to Aruba extraordinary!

Thank you for taking the time to review us in detail! We are excited to hear that you had such a great experience. Seeing that you loved the location, and the staff means a lot.
We look forward to welcoming you back to our One Happy Island and thank you again for the great review!!

Soso poor a schale of 1 to 100 an 50 would be my choice for the stay and not too bad but come so da da attitude of the team overall is still overrated and overpriced in my view for my stay .The was good t least we could enjoy instead of freaking snow in Europe.

We apologize for the disappointment with service. We'll address this with our team. Your insights help us improve.
We hope to welcome you back for a better experience.

Second time here. We love this hotel. Everyone is so friendly snd helpful . They upgraded our room and this time we had a pool front room., which we greatly appreciated. The room was renovated , clean and spacious with good storage . The hotel is small but very well maintained . Location is great , across from a beautiful beach and down the block is the fabulous Suoer Foods where you can buy most anything . There’s a lovely cheese store a half block away. Free parking is a plus . On a few occasions we noticed the smell while lounging on the beach but it didn’t bother us and quickly dissipated. We love going in may when prices are more affordable . Great hotel.

Thank you for taking the time to review us! We are happy to see that you loved the quiet atmosphere and the location. Thank you for the kind words, and we hope to welcome you back shortly.
