What to Expect at the Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort Aruba:

Among the most popular low-rise hotels in Aruba, Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort Aruba attracts more guests from Europe and South America than it does ones from the USA. Rather than having a bland corporate face, Amsterdam Manor emphasizes its Dutch Caribbean heritage.

Honeymooners and other couples appreciate the wide swath of Eagle Beach right across the road from the hotel. In season, turtles come ashore to bury their eggs there.

Guest Rooms at the Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort Aruba:

Don't expect high style or state of the art amenities there. In its studio, one-, and two- bedroom suites, the modest (and modestly priced) Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort Aruba provides basic necessities: air-conditioning, cable TV, phone, safe, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, minibar. Each unit also has a kitchen area equipped with a refrigerator, small stove, microwave, coffeemaker, toaster, blender, pots and pans, china, and silverware. The hotel has wi-fi.

Dining at the Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort Aruba:

Mango's is the Amsterdam Manor's all-purpose restaurant, open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. All-inclusive meal plans are available, as in room service. Couples can also opt for "Passions," a romantic three-course dinner served on Eagle Beach.

Weddings at the Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort Aruba:

Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort Aruba hosts many weddings and offers a la carte packages so couples can choose the elements they want to celebrate with. Eagle Beach provides a beautiful backdrop for a ceremony or picture-taking.

Honeymoons at the Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort Aruba:

There are two dedicated honeymoon suites at the Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort Aruba. Like the rest of the rooms, they are clean and simply furnished. Unlike the larger resorts, there is rarely jockeying for a beach palapa.

What Could be Improved at the Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort Aruba?:

Room decor needs to be upgraded. Beds are old. Note: Aruba's sewage treatment facility is nearby, and the aroma may be strong at times.

Is the Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort Aruba right for you?:

If you like a low-key, easy-going, unpretentious resort beside a beautiful beach, yes. Just don't expect the amenities a larger hotel can provide such as a casino, business center, big swimming pool, shops, spa, etc. But Aruba is a small enough island that you can easily access those conveniences at nearby hotels.
