Mammaloe

The accommodation provides well-equipped kitchens, friendly staff, cozy rooms, and a central location for exploring the island. Guests appreciate the delicious breakfast and maintain a clean environment.

Mammaloe's is an amazing place to relax in Aruba after exploring or relaxing at the beach. What makes Mammaloe specia apart from the charming and colourful rooms is the amazing way that you meet other people. The breakfast room and the outside common kitchen with seating next to it was the right place to chat, make new friends and exchange travel trips with fellow holiday makers. There is a pool to refresh too should you wish to unwind. Mrs Willeke is always ready to assist and with a lovely smile. I had an issue when I arrived which was really stressing me but she immediately offered to help and I was able to manage what I needed to do. I cannot thank her enough for that. Moreover the location is surrounded by trees and you are constantly hearing and seeing birds. There is yoga too and breakfast if you wish. I cannot recommend Mammaloe highly enough.

Mammaloe's is somewhere between camping, an Air B&B, and a regular B&B. Breakfast does NOT come with your room rate as a normal B&B would be - this makes it more like an Air B&B. We were not aware of the $10 charge per person before arriving. The pool bar/restaurant was not open accept in the morning if you pre-ordered breakfast (we made out own in the provided kitchen). There is a list of rules you must follow, including AC only after 7pm and before 9am - not a huge deal and not abnormal, just wasn't aware ahead of time. Stayed in the Casita Azul - it was like camping in a tiny cabin with a bed. There is a little dorm-sized fridge to keep your food in, which was really great. The TV never worked while there (we asked, but it was never repaired), but we don't watch much anyway. The orange kitty hanging around is very, very sweet. The pool, although small, is very nice. The location is fantastic - close to everything, but yet away from the tourist resort craziness. Be aware of the bugs and tree things falling - that is very much like camping. We bought a citronella candle to burn (left it there for the next group) outside. Also is a clothes line to hang your clothes. Shower was warm, too, if you want a warm shower.
