Book Oranjestad Bed & Breakfast

"No swim up bars. Breakfast was good, lunch was very limited and mediocre, dinners were pretty good IF you could get a reservation. We did not get any and had to escalate to a manager to get one. If we hadn’t, we would have had to eat the buffet all week. Housekeeping staff was friendly, reservation dinner wait staff was good. Staff was not friendly at Bars and lunch/buffet places. Great location and beach, could definitely improve on the food and drink options, staffing, and reservations. "

"The property was clean. Seating at the pool was hard to come by and at the beach was nearly impossible. Food was OK but they did serve my son food he was allergic to even after double checking with them. "

"Staff is always friendly. Rooms property clean. Great location. 3 minute walk to beach 5 minute walk to super market. This is my 4th time staying at this location "

"We were only there two nights, but it was a great stay. This was by far the best Marriott property as far as recommending my loyalty status -Everybody in the whole place. Loved the pool, but coulda used more loungers in the sun. Food and drinks were excellent, as was the service at all (especially the private island - Jennifer). And speaking of the private island, we loved every bit of it - The boat ride, the loungers on the peninsula, the food and service, and plenty of towels. The shuttle drivers were great between facilities. The only negative was the checkout process, which was extremely slow - There should be a separate desk."

"We love the Tam and have been here many times. This time was a different vibe. We were unable to get reservations at all our favorite restaurants. Their system now is terrible. They closed the Tams buffet dinner option so many nights we stood in a line for the golf cart to the Divi. The food at the Divi dinner buffet was kind of terrible. This made it so much harder to get restaurant reservations. One day we went to one of the pools that used to be for only timeshare people. It’s now open to the resort, but the people at that pool were horrible to us. Butt hurt that we were also allowed to be there. I used to love this resort because the guests were so nice and we all had a good time together. People should feel at ease on vacation and nicer. The staff are wonderful but seem tired and not happy like they used to be. I felt bad for them. We love Aruba so much but may try a different resort next time. We will see. "

"Great, clean, new property with helpful staff. Near the airport in relatively quiet place, but if you like always active lifestyle, this property is about 4/5 km away from the main activity area. You will either need a car or need to take taxi to all events. Nice small pool. We like bit of quiet place after a day full of activity so this was perfect for us. We would definitely recommend it to others. "

"Fresh breakfast every morning. Hotel stay was wonderful. Staff were hospitable. A++++. "

"To have a good experience the staff needs to be welcoming and respectful. And that is certainly true at Manchebo. Best beach in Aruba helps too. Good variety of restaurant options, both at Manchebo and in walking distance. The Manchebo beach area is lower key then the “hi-rise” hotel district, avoid there if you can. "

"The staff was great, the apartment was spacious and accommodated my family of six (2 adults, 4 children) well. The property is clean and quiet. If visiting and want to explore the island, a rental car would probably best. "
