Best hotel you can ever ask for clean comfortable accommodation at its finest. Never have I been to a resort before that had all the checks Amsterdam manor has everything you can ever imagine. It’s absolute paradise from rooms to beach to food!!! Incredible stay I would definitely return (stayed in a 2 bedroom condo)

We stayed here 1 night when we extended our trip 2 years ago... we had been renting beach chairs here as the Blue Residences where we were staying had no beach. This year when we decided to return to Aruba, staying at the Amsterdam Manor was an easy decision. 2 years ago we stayed at one of the penthouse suites (the one closer to Mangos) which we thought was a bit nicer (balcony and view) than the suite we had this year on the other side of the hotel (the balcony much smaller and view of the water not as good as we had more trees/the beach bar in front of us). The hotel is super clean, with decently comfortable beds and pillows. The suite has a kitchen (dishwasher, stove, small fridge plus plates/glasses, etc). No washer/dryer in unit which would make this place 100% perfect (but it is available at the hotel for a fee). The tub in the master is incredibly deep and can be hard to get in/out of and I just don't understand the concept of showers that don't have enclosed doors as no matter how hard we try, we inevitably flood the bathroom, especially trying to bathe a small child. Palapas on the beach are first come, first served but chairs/mats/towels are available. Nice wide beach with beautiful water. Small pool + cute shallow kids pool were fun to splash around in. Beach bar was great for drinks (non-alcoholic this time for me!) and for lunch. Staff across the hotel is excellent - I can't say enough nice things about them. Our crazy 3 year old may have helped make some friends haha. We met some very nice people staying at the resort as well! Really hoping all of the building going on around the hotel doesn't make the beach as insanely crowded as Palm Beach up by the high rises... Also as some other reviewers mentioned, there was often a stinky sewer smell that would waft around at varying points in time that was not there 2 years ago. We will definitely stay here our next visit to Aruba!

Our first time to Aruba and we wanted a small, low key place to stay. Check in service was great. We were greeted with a rum punch cocktail. Our room was not ready. We were early for check in. We sat by the pool and enjoyed our drinks. We returned to check in and the room was still not ready (now post-check in time) and were given free drink coupons and were escorted to our room literally five minutes later. The room was spotless. It had everything we needed. Well-stocked kitchenette with toaster, microwave, blender, small fridge, cook top etc. There was a small, easy to use safe, iron and ironing board, hair dryer and make up mirror. Huge bonus points for the plastic food storage containers and the large drying rack. Minus points for no hook on the back of the bathroom door to hang the robe provided with the room. The resort itself was fairly quiet. We took advantage of the manager's happy hour at the bar and enjoyed the live music. One night we sat by the pool and enjoyed the DJ from the beach bar across the street. The gorgeous beach was a two minute walk from our room. Towels and lounge chairs were plentiful. You do have to get to the beach pretty early in the morning to secure a palapua. Thankfully, my partner can sleep anywhere so he would get up, secure a spot and fall back to sleep under the palapua. The only thing that would have made our beach experience better was if towel clips were provided along with the towels. It is windy. There is a great grocery store nearby. Technically walkable but you would have to cross a rotary so we opted to drive. You do have to provide your own shopping bags for your purchases. No plastic shopping bags in Aruba. The pool area was nice but a bit small. There were never more than ten people sunbathing or in the pool at any given time. All in all, this was the most relaxing vacation I have ever had. We are already talking about our return.
