My Favorite Aruba Resorts
During my recent visit to Aruba, I had the opportunity to explore several resorts firsthand, and a few really stood out for their charm, service, and overall experience. Visiting these properties allowed me to see what each has to offer and recommend them confidently to my clients.
Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa – This is a beachfront property with a peaceful, intimate atmosphere. I toured the grounds and loved the serene setting along Eagle Beach. It’s perfect for travelers looking for a luxury, wellness, and relaxed experience. Manchebo offers some all-inclusive options, but it’s especially known for its spa and boutique feel.
Boardwalk Boutique Hotel – I found this hotel charming and full of character. Set slightly off the busiest tourist areas, it provides a quiet retreat while still offering easy access to the island’s highlights. The property is moderate, not fully all-inclusive, and perfect for travelers who enjoy a cozy, boutique experience in a friendly, low-key environment.
Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort – I was impressed by this adults-only resort, which sits directly on Eagle Beach. The focus on luxury, privacy, and sustainability is evident throughout. It’s not all-inclusive, but the level of service and the beautiful beachfront make it an ideal choice for couples seeking a romantic, tranquil escape.
Divi Aruba All Inclusive & Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive – Both properties are full all-inclusive, beachfront resorts that cater to a wide range of travelers. I toured the grounds and saw how they balance fun and convenience with beautiful settings along Eagle Beach. These resorts are moderate in style, perfect for families or couples who want a hassle-free, activity-rich vacation while still enjoying Aruba’s natural beauty.
Visiting these resorts in person gave me a firsthand sense of what makes each unique. From boutique luxury to family-friendly all-inclusives, Aruba has options for every type of traveler, and these four properties are among the ones I most enjoy recommending for their combination of service, location, and overall experience.
