Manchebo Beach on the island of Aruba is a beautiful, white sand beach that is often referred to as Punta Brabo. It is perfect for a relaxing day at the beach with family or friends, and features luxury resorts and spas along with clear water.
This beach is pretty close to the Eagle Beach and offers similar style umbrellas which are a bit further away from the sea.
It has a very convenient parking spot just nearby, and is awesome if you want to play frisbee or volleyball on the beach, as it has way more space than other beaches in the area!

The waves are too dangerous. Period. No way I would bring small kids here.
The Manchebo beach is the most beautiful beach but is too dangerous, especially for kids. The Palms beach is very calm and nice for kids but less pleasant due to seagrass. The Divi beach is the golden middle.

One of my favorite beaches on Aruba because of its soft white sand and long stretch of beach.

It was then not the newest and not the fanciest location - but we had the best beach and only a limited crowd. it was more family like.

Unbelievable pride in making everything as best as they can. From the garden, to the beach, restaurants, staff. It feels like a quiet paradise you can forget about everything

Very pretty water but rough and not great for kids to swim

Wide open beach, not overcrowded in any way. Constant rolling waves provide a fresh ocean atmosphere as opposed to the more stagnant waters of Palm Beach. Manchebo is our favorite beach on the island

Beautiful wide Beach. Bring your own chairs if you're not staying in the beach resorts as all the beds and Umbrellas are for them. Even if they're not being used or waiting to be used security will not let you stay there.
The ocean is very rough and gets deep very quickly so not good for kids or weak swimmers

Fantastic wide beach. Clean sand, plenty of space. Sunsets are incredible from the beach. Due to its size, the beach never feels crowded. The sea is a little more rough than Eagle Beach but this doesn’t detract from it. Plenty of great beach bars and restaurants around this area too.

La Cabana Beach Resort & Casino is an upscale beach resort and casino located along the shores of Aruba's famed Eagle Beach. The property includes a beach bar, fitness center, and restaurant.
This is a wonderful family stay. Rooms are very nice. Hotel has a great beach location. The pool is very nice. It is nice to be away from the hubbub of the highrise area. You have a gas station across the street as well at a top grade grocery.

Right across the street from the beach. Provided chairs, towels and paplapas on the beach where the water was teal and blue and perfect temperature in February. Large pool on premise along with slide. There was a couple restaurants on premise that were pretty good. Also a casino on site. Everything was clean and staff was very friendly. Lots close to the resort, shopping, exploring, beach, etc

This place is great! The staff is always friendly, polite and accommodating. The units are clean and spacious. Housekeeping does a great job. The pool area is so well kept. Happy hour every day. The restaurants have good food at reasonable prices. Ocean views from our balcony was beautiful. #1 Eagle Beach right across the street! Couldn’t ask for a better vacation spot.

My partner and I stayed at La Cabana last year and we had a great experience. This year we decided to stay at Eagle Aruba Resort and Casino which is across the walkway from La Cabana. I brought my two Maltese (small 7lbs) service dogs on this trip. On one of the first days of arrival of the current trip, my partner and I walked through the lobby and pool area of La Cabana with our service dogs and there were no issues. However, two days ago my partner and I were going to speak to someone at the car rental desk located within the lobby of La Cabana and were stopped by security at the entrance of the building and told no pets allowed. I calmly explained my dogs were in fact service dogs and not pets. We were asked to wait a minute while I assumed security was checking in with management. After what seemed like 5 minutes of standing outside with no word or update from security, I proceeded to walk inside the lobby and speak to another employee and explain the situation, as well as the purpose of me being on the premise. At one point the bellhop suggested I walk around the building if I didn't want to wait. I again explained that I wanted to get information about a car rental that was located in the lobby, not on the side or back of the resort. The employee, with reservations, allowed me and my partner to proceed to the rental car desk. This experience wasn't positive at all and added unnecessary stress. It makes me consider whether I would stay at an establishment that cannot accommodate service animals and begs the question of whether this establishment is welcoming and inclusive to all.

Great resort. Been twice now. Clean. Friendly staff. Used it as part of Blue Green (which has recently been bought out by Hilton). When you use it as part of the time share, they tend to give you the rooms with the worst views though eg. parking lot, parts under construction. If you just want a place to stay using the bonus time option and don't really care about the view, it's good. It tends to attract an older crowd who enjoy the BINGO around the pool during the day.

Have been coming here for many years, overall is ok, but the last 3 years there is a heavy Sewer smell that at times will come by the beach area.
It seems like it is getting worse each year.
Beautiful beach but the smell kills it.

Older, well kept resort that appears to cater to an older clientele. Some families but lots of retirees. Great location right on eagle beach. Several pools and hot tubs, live music every afternoon. Photo is from early morning before the beach gets busy.

Don't forget to use Hᴏᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏᴍ when booking any hotel. This web site will compare countless booking web sites and typically will have prices much cheaper than others! Thank me later! This place is one of the most well known in the area. I've been staying here for a long time. If you choose this place you won't regret it.
Somewhat older timeshare but very clean and well kept. Rooms are in the process of being updated. Very kind and helpful staff including front desk and housekeeping. Aruba is just beautiful with many things to explore and visit nearby the LaCabana Resort.

Amazing location across the street from Eagle Beach. The pool area is great and usually has live music during happy hour. The restaurant is pretty good and the service at the resort is great.
If you get an interior room it will be noisy, poor design and lack of soundproofing. You hear every conversation in the hallway. If you like to sleep, it can be very annoying.

La Cabana was very nice. The rooms were nice, the staff was amazing, the food was really good, the resort activities were fun, the pool was nice, and the resort was right across the street from the ocean. We really enjoyed ourselves there. The only downside was the construction, but they are working on making the pool area better and I can't wait.
William Brown — Google review
We had a great stay at La Cabana. Rooms were clean and the bars, staff, restaurants, and pool were all great. My only complaint is after a few days their security started asking our kids about their wrist bands. They hadn’t done it earlier in the week and no one told us they needed to wear it. The bands were far too big for them and would have lost them had we kept them on the kids.

We have a timeshare here at La Cabana and it’s like a home away from home. The location is great, the beach is just a short walk across the street (many activities to do on Eagle Beach, HIGHLY recommend tubing) and there are many restaurants in walking distance nearby. The rooms are always clean and comfortable. new updated furniture has been added pretty recently in the rooms (new beds, couches, tables) Each room has a small kitchenette if you prefer to make meals (which also has a dishwasher and fridge and freezer). The service is also great. Bed was made and towels were replaced pretty much everyday. Every worker is so kind and helpful. Not to mention happy hour is 3 times a day every day and the nightlife and day life is so much fun. although there is some construction going on, it’s hardly in the way and the new additions will be very nice. i highly recommend this amazing place!

I booked this hotel because of the prior reviews but I was honestly disgusted by this place. 1st incident was when I was assigned to a mold stinking room. I asked for another room but they were supposedly all booked so they sent someone to drop off a humidifier in an attempt to clean the air. 2nd our coffee maker didn't work. 3rd when we were in the pool it had a strong sewer odor coming from nearby 3rd I stood 3 nights and not one time did they clean the room or offered to leave us some fresh towels 4th we ordered some food by the restaurant pool, they forgot our food ! They felt so bad the manager had to come and offer us free drinks..it was a complete nightmare. I was expecting more for a resort.
All in all Aruba was a wonderful place with nice people and the ATV was definitely a favorite and well worth the money.

Best spot! Great pool, plenty of lounge chairs, tables, on the best beach in the world, Eagle beach!
The beach is not jammed up like the downtown high rise hotel's with kids , noise and watersports.
A $10. Taxi ride will get you downtown when you need to.

I have been an owner for over 20 years. La Cabana is a well run and beautiful resort. Staff are polite and attentive. Located on beautiful Eagle Beach. New pool is in progress and rooms/decor went through a recent renovation. Centrally located with easy access to stores and restaurants.

This place is peaceful and amazing to stay near the most beautiful beach I have ever been to.
There are plenty of activities to do if you are just staying at the place and a nearby bus route of you want to go north or south of the island.
Its also very near to a very complete and economic super market.
The staff is super friendly and the rooms are nice.
Great place!

Overall, the resort was nice, but the room was smaller than expected and dated.
The pool and proximity to the beach was perfect.
For those who like to save a bit and cook some of the meals themselves, the grocery store was less than an 8 minute walk.
The casino was small and only 3 table games but an adequate number of slot machines.
Check-in and check out was simple, and the fact that there was an on-site car rental was amazing and very affordable for the daily rate.

Right across from beautiful Eagle Beach, great pool, nice staff, helpful concierge, comfortable rooms, and with SuperFood across the street plus kitchenettes with everything you need to whip up quick meals you can save a lot of money not needing to eat in restaurants for every meal. Noisy if you're facing the pool but very quiet if you have a non-pool facing room. I've been in both and the non-pool facing experience was much more relaxing for me.

We love LA Cabana! This is our 11th visit. I am a little disappointed in our room placement. Not everyone can have a pool view, but the garden view is isolating.

We have stayed here twice. The location is great and it is right across the street from Eagle Beach. We were there during busy season so it wasn't easy to get a palapa, unless you are a die hard and get out onto the beach before 7 am. For me, I'm on vacation and I'm surely not setting an alarm to get a palapa. There are many restaurants in walking distance and a large grocery store that you can walk to as well. They also had several places to eat on site as well as a small casino. The pool area is nice, they had a kiddie pool, an adults pool and a main pool. Happy hour each day was fun and it definitely gets busy and lively. We didn't take advantage, but they have various activities each day. Although we did not bring ours on this trip, this resort would be a good place to bring kids and we will definitely be bringing ours back next time. We loved our stay here and would likely only stay here or at Eagle Aruba right behind this resort.

Excellent experience. Only complaint we had was the constant smell of sewage while outside around the pool and beach. Smelled like a septic tank overflowed or water treatment plant nearby. But staff was nice rooms clean and not musty. Any issue we had with the room was immediately addressed by the staff. Would recommend!
Malmok Beach is a popular beach on the island of Aruba for snorkeling and sunbathing. It has clear blue water and views of the sunset. The rocky coastline provides an interesting backdrop for the aquatic life that inhabits the reef. Villas line both sides of the road leading to Malmok Beach, giving lucky owners access to its beautiful waters.
Lovely beach it was very quiet during our visit

This is by far the best beach on the island. It’s not sandy, but easy to walk on without shoes… it is absolutely gorgeous, the water is so clear, and if you have snorkeling gear, this is the place to do it. It’s rocky, but you can walk into the water barefoot, just go slowly. Once you’re in, swim out past the first cliff and start swimming in the right direction, following along the cliffs edge. It’s very deep and very clear and so many fish to see. We saw a large turtle on our last visit there just a couple of days ago. Malmok Beach is by far my favorite place on the entire island. It has 4 built in to the rocks/sand umbrella tables, so if you get there first, you claim one and you’ll have some shade. It’s mostly rocky terrain, so just be prepared for that. If you have water shoes, I would recommend wearing those. But it’s not impossible to walk without them. Best time to snorkel the area is morning time. Highly recommend this beach. So glad we did. Also the perfect spot to watch the sunset.

A great place to snorkel. We stumbled upon this location while riding our bikes to the lighthouse. There were 2 pirate ships anchored just off shore and a bunch of people snorkeling. We saw a ton of different fish and 2 anchors on the bottom of the ocean. Just make sure you wear something on your feet when you go in. It is a great place to visit.

Tim Birbeck — Google review
All beaches in Aruba are beautiful and free. This happens to be a secluded spot because it's on the side road and it is an old coral reef skeleton. You will need water shoes and a plan to get back up. Its rocky and different. Water is clear and there are a lot of pelicans. There is a spot on the right side where you can walk into the water. Jumping is not recommended!

What a find! I stumbled upon this beach on a run and it completely took my breath away. The closer I got to the water, the more stunning it became. There's this massive coral skeleton that stretches across the sand, like a secret world just waiting to be explored. Snails, shells, and even live sea urchin were all nestled within it — a real-life treasure trove. It’s a side of Aruba that's off the beaten path, where nature puts on a show just for those who wander. If you're here, make the trip; it's an undiscovered gem that's worth every step.

The Antilla Shipwreck in Aruba is a popular attraction for snorkelers and divers. It is covered with coral, anemones and fish, making it a fruitful diving spot. The ship sank in 1940 and is named after the SS Antilla cargo ship. Being one of the largest shipwrecks in the area, it lies near Malmok Bay at a depth of 60 feet.
Definitely one of the coolest places I’ve ever snorkeled! Great place for scuba as well. Saw lots and lots of marine life, beautiful shot of the turtle and got a picture of this cute jawfish:)

My favorite thing to do in Aruba! Awesome experience. Absolutely stunning and the crystal clear water adds to the experience. It can be done with a private charter through one of the hotels or as a group outing on one of the large boats. Just depends on what you are looking for.
Stephen Medlin — Google review
Nice shallow dive perfect for pretty much all experience levels, we had no current which made it an even better dive for looking at some of the macro life, this anemone had a couple of shrimps you can barely make out in the picture and the sand bed had tons of life, including some very cool Jaw-fish, seen poking his yellow head in one of the pictures.

I was able to visit this shipwreck as one of three stops on a snorkeling catamaran cruise. It's about 60 feet down, so from a snorkeling viewpoint, it's a bit hazy. We saw a few varieties of tropical fish near the site. I think for this site, scuba diving would be a better way to explore it. From what I could see as a snorkeler, it was OK.

this is like my favorite place on the planet. best scuba diving. The wreck is so huge and if you can dive, you should do that instead of snorkeling. the water is calm and I saw like six turtles. awesome would give six stars if I could

This was probably the best part of my birthday trip. Me and my party literally took over the entire boat. lol We had a blast. The crew was so cool and down to earth. Jumping off the boat was my favorite part. I love swimming and it's just something about the water in Aruba that makes your body feel so good. This will definitely be another place I visit on my next trip to Aruba.

We went on a organized snorkeling adventure to the Antilla Shipwreck with "Pelican Adventures". It was a good trip out there and the crew was very fun to be around. They first brought us over the wreck so that you could snorkel in that area. The ship is big 398.3 ft (121.4 m) so you will not miss it and it is sitting at about 60 ft (18.2 m) in the water. But depending on the lighting will depend on how well you will see the boat. After about an hour we left that area and moved closer to the shore and more shallow water about 10-15 feet (3-4 m). A lot of little fish and my wife spotted a sea turtle.

This spot was quite impressive. From the ship I took, you could snorkel along the entire ship which is not that far from the surface. Although I was able to touch it, my ears popped so I would recommend ear plugs. Scuba diving is available at the spot as well. The water is so fantastic to swim in all over the island of Aruba.
