What our reviews say

The verdict and the catch are our own words from each review: a local team's assessment, never a claimed stay.

Manchebo Beach Resort and Spa

Eagle Beach. Eagle Beach: quiet, low-rise.

Our verdict

A serene 72-room boutique with daily beach yoga and a Caribbean-Balinese spa.

The catch

Not strictly adults-only, so school holidays can feel livelier.

Near the door, from our guide

Manchebo Beach (170 m), Eagle Beach (680 m). Straight-line distances.

Booked direct nearby

Beach Yoga with Sound Bath, $30 per person, on Eagle Beach.

Opens the sample week, Dec 5 to 12. Change the dates on the next screen.

Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive

Druif Beach. Eagle Beach: quiet, low-rise.

Our verdict

The value side of the Divi pair: every room oceanfront and steps from the sand, and on the standard all-inclusive plans one wristband covers both resorts.

The catch

A long-established resort, so rooms feel more dated than the newest builds, and Druif Beach sits south of the high-rise strip.

Near the door, from our guide

Druif Beach (80 m). Straight-line distances.

Booked direct nearby

Beach Yoga with Sound Bath, $30 per person, on Eagle Beach.

Opens the sample week, Dec 5 to 12. Change the dates on the next screen.
