I really enjoyed staying here. My partner and I coordinated with a friend from afar to stay here as a first time visit. We knew nothing of the property and were pleasantly surprised with our visit. The owner couple were friendly and helpful with everything from restaurant recommendations, beach recommendations, food market recommendations, taking care of personal needs, nuances to island activities and so much more. The property is absolutely inspiring with a very nice swimming pool, colorful room decor, and bright and warmly painted exterior walls throughout. Be sure to check out the story of the namesake if you don’t already know it. The layout of the rooms are not cookie cutter so don’t be shy to ask and state your needs. Our room, lavender by name, was large and had in-room shower and toilet. The room was spacious and space for our luggage and a nice refrigerator. I am a tall guy and I had plenty more than elbow room to feel comfortable in the room. One of the most unique features of the B&B was the common dining space which is covered and outdoors. You can eat in a group or find a private space to eat. Cooking and refrigerator facilities are available adjacent to the eating area with nearby grocery shopping available. We were lucky to meet new friends and cooked meals together with some nice dining and wine moments making new memories. As you can see from my photos there are lots of flowering plants around the property which confirm the tropical environment. Also the property is at a nice elevation in the area to capture the tropical breezes throughout and cool down from the heat of a sunny day all day long. We had one evening of rain which was not wasted with friends in the covered dining area, so no fun lost. There are some rules and norms to follow which are guided by island resource sustainability and conservation. You will need to understand your transportation while staying here.

Nothing I didn’t like.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Mammaloe. We were stayin in the Roma appartment.The property was not only beautiful but also clean. What I particularly loved about this accommodation was its unique setup – it felt like a mini village, complete with cozy cottages and greenery all around. The atmosphere was tranquil and serene, perfect for a relaxing getaway. While the pool may have been on the smaller side, it was incredibly well-maintained and provided a refreshing escape from the Aruban heat. As for the room, it was spotless and decorated. They came to clean the room three times a week, ensuring it stayed clean throughout my stay. The location of the accommodation was also great, centrally located on the island of Aruba. While it was convenient to explore the island from this central point, having a car was necessary to access the attractions and beaches. The host was incredibly kind and accommodating throughout our stay. She also assisted us in booking a snorkeling tour. Lastly, I appreciated the secure parking within the gated property. It provided peace of mind knowing that my rental car was safe and easily accessible whenever I needed it. Overall, my experience at this accommodation was really nice!. From the cleanliness to the friendly host and convenient location, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay at Aruba

Unfortunately, we had to pay an additional fee to keep the air conditioning on during the day. While this is understandable due to the high costs, we did miss some cooling in the room occasionally when we were there during the day. However, the pool provided the necessary relief.

This property is very charming, the room was clean and as advertised. One of the most unique stays I have had while in Aruba. The hostess Ms. Willeke, even made us breakfasts to go since we had an early flight. Her attentiveness an friendliness made me feel right at home and I really felt a sense of tranquility while I stayed at this property. I enjoyed my stay very much, I will definitely stay here again when visiting Aruba.

The property is a little far from the main tourist area, so a rental car is needed since the taxi fairs are fairly expensive. But that makes this property that much more appealing for travelers who are looking to enjoy a little nature and peace away from home.

I love the property. It gives off the energy that this is a healing and safe space. The atmosphere is one that everyone is comfortable, friendly, but the need for privacy is respected. So much love and care has gone into every detail. I am so happy that I came here and Mamaloe’s will be the place I would happily come back. I don’t want to leave!

Nothing. I have no complaints.

The place and hosts are great for people looking to relax, have fun and meet likeminded travellers. The hosts are most helpful for anything you might need, so feel free to ask. 👍😄

Since it is close to the middle of the Island you need to rent a bike, scooter or car. Or you wait for the bus 😁

Excellent artistic quirky aesthetic of the entire property! The attached covered veranda was wonderful, and the small pool tucked away in the cactus forest was unique. There were several adorable private reading areas sprinkled through the property.

I didn’t like having to put the toilet paper in the trash can, and the bed was a futon (VERY firm). Although we’ve encountered this before in rental homes on Aruba, I was surprised to discover there was no hot water for the shower, just the single valve for tepid tap water. Lastly, the floor of our room was gritty on our bare feet.

I cannot say enough good things about the property! Willeke was super welcoming when I arrived and showed me right to my room. The room itself was so adorable and the property was very quiet. Breakfast every morning was delicious. If you’re looking for a retreat away from the tourist side of the island definitely stay here. Perfect for solo travel

Mammaloe's is an amazing budget property! The staff are very friendly, the property is very cute and they have a lovely little pool. There is a shared kitchen as well which makes for great budget travel! The soap and shampoo were nice and beach towels are available for a small fee. The property is located very close to many beaches and everything you would want to see on the island!

Everything was great - but expectations should be adjusted that the property is a bit like glamping/hostel living - the pool deck is wood and not sealed, so splinters are a possibility in bare feet. The TV literally fell off the wall in my room because it was not hung properly (quickly fixed by the owner but yikes!). There's no hot/cold water, nor a door to the bathroom, so when staying with another person you are only a couple feet away while they use the restroom.

I loved the atmosphere, and the people. You couldn't help but smile being at this place and walking around. The design of this place is amazing. The staff was very friendly. The owner Larissa was great! For sure get breakfast while you are here. Larissa is a great cook. It was delicious, and it was only $10 USD cash. You can't beat that price.

the property was very welcoming and beautiful just a perfect place to relax and be in piece and close to many of the aruba s attractions and beaches and larissa was an amazing host and makes the best breakfast and very helpful i wouls totally come back next time i come to aruba thank u for making the trip a cool experience
