Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort

Excellent uncrowded and beautiful beach. Friendly and efficient staff, always smiling and helpful. Loved the relaxed atmosphere at this smaller jewel of a hotel.

Thank staff and the people of Amsterdam hotel for wonderful vacation, very friendly, very clean and cheerful there.

This is a pleasant small quaint hotel. The staff is wonderful and personable. The people who stay here are from many parts of the world giving it an international feel. The restaurants on the hotel site have good food. The absolute best part of this hotel is that it is across the street of the finest beach on Aruba.

Quiet, relaxing and restful. Beautiful beach. Perfect weather.

We loved everything about the hotel! The location was perfect, close to everything. Eagle beach was amazing and the hotel service, staff and accomodations was exceptional!!

The staff was courteous but the hotel is lacking some basic amenities. The location is on Eagle Beach which was beautiful.

Amsterdam Manor was absolutely the perfect place for us. Quiet. Peaceful. Relaxing. Beautiful. Great location. Best beach in Aruba. What more could we ask for? If we had stayed at a high rise I would be writing a different review. Folks from the high rises (and the cruise ships) were at "our" beach to get away from the crowds...and kids. No glitz and glamour here. Just good, clean, comfortable rooms with great service and friendly staff. When we wanted excitement, shopping, fancy restaurants, or crowds the bus was very convienent. Having the kitchenette was a real money saver. We didn't cook meals--we were on vacation after all--but we were able to prepare breakfast and some days a light lunch. We're beach people and the Amsterdam Manor fit the bill.

Excellent beach; very nice room accomodations; timely and efficient maid service; good food quality for lunch but the eating area needs more attention and staff; too many birds and flies and the live in iguana above your head and then around your table needs to be diminished or eliminated; beach dining in the evening was superb with great food and service; breakfast needs improvement. The resort caters to large families which infringes on the couples when it is time to eat; easy access to the buses which are most reasonable in cost; the staff is friendly in response to a greeting, but few greetings are initiated which is in stark contrast to Puerto Plata. Some of the facilities were open on a hit or miss basis--more staff is needed.

We were able to enjoy the sun and relax on the beach which is only a couple steps away from the resort. This location was great--we were right in the middle of the High Rise Hotels and downtown Oranjestad with the bus stop right outside our door. You want to do one of the many excursions Aruba has to offer than stop at the Concierge desk and they can make it happen.

The Amsterdam Manor has terrific service - we were welcomed with rum punch and a smooth checkin. The lobby is small but has a nice book collection, and the concierge desk is staffed until 5:30pm. Three computers are available for guest use just outside the lobby. We booked a standard studio (the pictures online are all of the larger rooms), and I was disappointed in the size of the room, and the bathroom had no counter space in which to keep toiletries. Though it has a vaulted ceiling, I still felt cramped. We were offered an upgrade to another single room, but there wasn't much difference in room size. Furnishings were modern, but the tv has terrible picture quality, and you have to request a remote control from the front desk. I mentioned it was our anniversary when I called to confirm the reservation, and the reception desk indicated that they'd send a complimentary bottle of champagne to the room, but we did not receive it. Location was terrific - we had a short walk through a courtyard to the pool, which was overlooked by a deck bar. Then, the beautiful beack was across the street. The road is only 2 lanes, but during the day on the beach you do get a lot of traffic noise. We had dinner one evening at Passions on the Beach - Eagle Beach has beautiful sunsets, and it was definitely worth it. The hotel staff is the best part of this resort - they make an effort to know your name and will help with any issues or questions you have. They were very kind and welcoming.
