Fodor's Expert Review Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort
J.E. Irausquin Blvd. 252, Eagle Beach, n/a Aruba, Aruba
Amsterdam Manor is an intimate, family-run hotel with a genuinely friendly staff, offering excellent value without too many frills. The gabled mustard-yellow hotel is built around a central courtyard with a waterfall pool and wading pool. Eagle Beach is right across the road with water-sports operators (one of the few places with Jet Skis), and the restaurant, Passions on the Beach, is a romantic toes-in-the-sand dining spot frequented by off-property guests and locals as well. Tile-floor rooms range from small, elegantly appointed studios (some with ocean-view balconies) to two-bedroom suites with peaked ceilings and whirlpool tubs; all have kitchenettes.
