My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here with a 4-night/5-day stay. The property, food, and hospitality were all 5-star!
We let the property know that we were celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary, in advance of our stay, and they surprised us with delights from the moment we arrived. This really made us feel welcome and celebrated from the start.
Our room was pristine and spacious. I highly recommend suite "L1" as it has a soaking tub and dual showers in the bathroom, a separate living space with a kitchen, and a large bedroom. Housekeeping ensured that everything was spotless, even as we tracked sand into our room (unavoidable), replenished our guest towels and amenities daily, and remade our beds with fresh linens daily.
The property is BEAUTIFUL! It is located on Eagle Beach, the longest stretch of white sands and turquoise waters, and has a beautiful pool we took daily dips in. Although it's entitled "Amsterdam Manor," the architecture reminds me of a Spanish hacienda-- so lovely.
The food served here is scrumptious! If you visit, you MUST dine at "Passion on The Beach. It's a highly sought-after restaurant that offers tables on the beach so you can dine at a table on the beach! We enjoyed breakfast AND dinner here, as well as snacks/drinks at their bar. Be sure to have drinks and light bites at the bar above the pool area as well!
We will be back. We couldn't have asked for a more spectacular stay!

I can guarantee I'm never going anywhere else in Aruba! Our first trip to the Happy Island and our stay at the Amsterdam beach manor was amazing, from the service provided by each and every one of the staff, to the attention to detail in daily room refreshes. Patrick and Jenifer at the front desk were simply amazing through our stay and greeted us with a warm welcome every time they saw us.
The rooms were expansive and clean (we were in a two bedroom condo) with all the kitchen supplies you could dream of giving you the option to cook some quick meals, although I would still recommend Horizons or Passions! Each meal we had at Passions and Horizon was to die for with knowledgeable bartenders to help find you the perfect drink to complete your meal.
The location is simply unmatched with the beach just steps away from the hotel. We explored the entire island and many other beaches, but Eagle beach was our favorite as it was far less crowded than any others we saw, plus the complimentary chairs and umbrellas with beachside service from the staff. Not only are the beach views amazing, but this property is feels like it transports you to a different world somewhere between the Netherlands and Aruba. With its iconic yellow color and red roofs it makes every turn an Instagram perfect picture. (attached for reference!)
One last special thank you to Alfred and Jurgen, for treating us so well and making our first trip to Aruba a vacation we will never forget.

Unfortunately this place has a sewage treatment works just behind and this leaves a bad taste in your mouth when the wind blows (much off the time). We could not use our outside space at all due to the endless smell of raw sewage. The beach restaurant also gets a whiff now and then.
I understand the problem is being addressed and Aruba is spending 16 million addressing it but this does not help us guests staying now.
The hotel does nothing to apologise or compensate for this inconvenience. They just say its being addressed! Well that’s all very well but for guests visiting Aruba now and in the near future I would avoid The Amsterdam Manor Hotel for this reason until the problem is addressed or until the Hotel offers some kind of additional benefit for staying making it worth your while ingesting raw sewage
Nobody wants to breathe in human sewage while spending 1000’s staying in paradise.
Maybe the hotel is fighting a losing battle here, but this is very much at the guests expense.
Beach restaurant is rather basic, frozen pizzas at lunch, 20 minutes for a cocktail, 45 mins for lunch to even arrive. The staff are plentiful and very nice but it seems nobody is in any rush to do anything. Dinner on paradise beach is beautiful, the setting is perfect. Service is odd! So many staff but yet still slow. They seem to be running in circles, the food is ok, good steak but nothing special or exciting. They certainly don’t wow on a culinary front. The rooms are extremely clean and very well equipped The staff are all very friendly This is a hotel doing all it can with what it has.
The beach itself is chilled, service here also slow! Seems to be no pattern or system. Don’t sit to the left side, at 4pm they start bringing out the dinner set-up and clearing the beach down which creates noise and chaos. They even try to move guests along to the other side of the beach so they can set up for dinner service which must start at 7pm I assume.
The sunbeds are free and its first come first serve, they have a 30 min rule so nobody can leave towels out and reserve beds and then go back to them. However this rule they break themselves, we watched a front row couple of beds not being used all day! With towels on them, when guests from the hotel tried to use them they were told no and moved on! All very odd and unsatisfactory behaviour. If you have rules and they are written down on sheets above the beds (see image) then stick to these rules. Im not sure how they explain this behaviour.
In short I would avoid this hotel until they have fixed their many issues.

Dear Jamie A, Thank you for your detailed review concerning your recent stay with us. We truly regret that your stay with us did not meet your expectations as you were seriously inconvenienced by the from time-to-time bad smell coming from the nearby Aruban water treatment plant and as our services rendered on the beach were not of the expected standards. However, we were pleased to read your comments about our friendly team members and about the quality of your suite. Once more thank you for your valuable feed-back. Kind regards, Alfred Kaufmann General Manager

VERY good hotel, located on one of the best beaches in Ariba, Eagle Beach. The structure of the hotel is excellent. The rooms have a very functional kitchenette, balconies, quality amenities, sun loungers, beach towels and everything you need for a great stay. The staff, and there are many, are extremely attentive and polite. The breakfast, on the beach, is excellent... it's not a buffet, it's à la carte. The beach structure is also very good, with palapas, sun loungers, chairs, parasol, bar, freshwater shower... everything is very functional and well maintained. The location is also good, at the beginning of the north of Aruba, close to the Super Foods market and Palm Beach beach. The only drawback of the hotel is the location relatively close to a sewage treatment plant, so, depending on the direction of the wind, at times the beach and the entire region have a not very good smell in the air, similar to urine. ... but it's not something that happens all the time and it's not the hotel's fault. It also does not reach rooms that have excellent sealing. Anyway, at least it's better to know that the island treats its sewage and does not dump it into the sea, although the smell can be an inconvenience at certain times of the year. It didn't bother us.

A small unpretentious hotel. Fabulous staff. Clean modern rooms. We had the Ocean facing penthouse suite, it was stunning. Had everything for basic meals. Toiletries Dish washing bits and dishwasher tablets to get you going. A family of four, our childcare adults, we had plenty of space to relax and dine both indoors and out. A great place to watch sunset. A short walk across the road to the beach where guests can use the beds for free. We've loved our stay here

Our second trip here. We stayed in the least expensive room which overlooked a courtyard and had two chairs and a small table outside. We were in the building furthest from the beach and even at that, we were 70 steps from the beach. Rooms, especially the kitchenette, was well-appointed with everything we needed for breakfast and lunch. Tea and coffee pods were supplied. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They provided a drying rack for our suits when we asked. We did not rent a car. We walked the 1.5 miles to Noord most nights for dinner and then took a cab back. The cab cost around $10 USD. We plan on returning next year!

Fabulous! This is our home away from home. We stayed in a one bedroom suite. The bedroom was perfect, with a comfy king bed, 2 closets (their lights went on automatically upon opening!), and a roomy dresser, and it's own AC with touch thermostat. The bathroom was luxurious, with a great shower! Lots of fluffy towels, and beach towels provided, too, fresh each day. The bedroom had a door that closed to the rest of the suite, which helped us immensely. There was a smartTV in the bdr and living room. A full kitchen with stovetop, fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee maker ( coffee and tea creamer and sugar provided), hot water pot, blender, full sink, and all accompanying dishes, pots and pans, flatware, cookware etc. There was already a pitcher of cold water and bottle of wine in the fridge upon arrival. The dining room table was great, with 4 comfy chairs. LR had a sofa and easy chair. Two entrances, one to the ocean and pool side ( great pool!) and the other to the parking lot side. ALL the staff we encountered were wonderful, helpful and friendly, and bilingual as well! We would recommend this resort, with it's fabulous location just a minute walk to Eagle Beach, to anyone! Great Horizons Bar with fabulous sunset views right on site, and Passions restaurant right on the beach (B, D)..We loved our time at Amsterdam Manor!

My spouse and I were pleased that a small room opened up six weeks before we planned to arrive in country. We arrived to our room mid-afternoon to find something mechanical had fallen from the ceiling, the table and chairs were drenched and a large puddle on the floor. Front desk and porter employees were charming and we were told maintenance would fix the problem but apparently it was beyond a quick fix. After over an hour of waiting a new room was found but we could only stay there one night and then they would move us to a third room. We were comped $150. Unfortunately we were given conflicting information that our third room would be cleaned first thing in the morning because our second room was already reserved but then were also told we could stay in the second room until 1 in the afternoon. We were told not to settle in and to keep our bags packed in preparation for the move and it was implied that we ought to be grateful that we were getting a huge upgrade in the process. As this was being explained, a woman approached the front desk complaining that her room was smaller than it appeared online and she wanted a bigger one. She was immediately accommodated. No juggling, no wait, no problem. Meanwhile, our comfort was being seriously impaired. What was supposed to be a once a year indulgence, and a pleasant, relaxing retreat from northern climes felt like a continuation of our 23 hours of travel to Aruba. Finally after pressing the issue, by noon we had a new space in which to rest.

This was our 3rd or 4th stay at Amsterdam Manor. This time it was to get married! We stayed in one of the Penthouse Suites and as always the stay was incredible. The only reason we didn't stay in the Honeymoon suite was we stayed there on our first visit in 2021 when they upgraded us simply fo visiting during a tough time. There were 30 people in our party and we fielded comments about how great the property was the whole week.
The staff is friendly to the point of being joyous about going about their day. Everyone says hello and smiles and in an age where customer service tends to be slipping, this is not the case here.
The staff was always ready to assist in getting taxis and arranging room cleanings at odd hours. Also, some of our guests checked out early and their staff moved items left behind to our rooms to ensure they got back to the owners.
Passions is great for casual food and ease. We opted for it for a good percentage of our meals even though we love other restaurants on the island simply because it was easy and the food is good.
The wedding was amazing. Anne coordinated with our wedding planner and the night was remarkable. When we were there they acted as though we were the only ones. 1 note, be patient if you are planning a wedding here. Leading up to it, it was not always easy to get a response. This may be an east coast thing but we tend to expect everyone to be on our schedule when it comes to answering emails and that is not always the case around the world. In the end, the wedding was perfect!
We will be back again and going by our guests' responses so will they!
