A Great Spot!

This is a great spot if you like a thoughful, fun space. My experience was fantastic. Everyone is so friendly it almost feels like staying with a friend. The location is great for seeing the island (rent a car). The space itself was very groovy and had an awesome island vibe. The outdoor kitchen and hang out space really make you feel like you are in the space.

Enjoyable, comfortable and great location

Mammaloes is a creative and beautiful space with everything you could need, plus the owner is very welcoming and accommodating. You will need a car, and its best you just rent one from the airport. The A/C can only be used from 7pm-8am unless you want to pay a fee. My room was not the one I booked, which was a little upsetting because it was very moody/dark and it looked out on the parking lot, but it was comfortable and had what I needed and I decided not to switch rooms despite being offered that option mid-stay. This place is in an awesome location, its great value, and breakfast was a nice touch. Value add was being able to use a beach chair and snorkle gear one day. 10/10 recommend!

Loved Our Stay at Mammaloes B&B! This place is full of charm and warmth. Our room was cozy and comfortable, and we loved having a little patio to enjoy breakfast. The whole property feels peaceful and full of character, with thoughtful details everywhere. The hosts were kind and gave great tips for exploring the area. We honestly didn’t want to leave and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Good choice if you are looking for a more authentic stay away from the busy hotel zone. Will need a car rental as it’s in a residential area. Facility is basic, charming and quiet.

This was a great place, located in the real aruba, and not the artificial tourist areas. No traffic on the roads and the noisiest neighbors are the birds in the wild.

We LOVED our stay at Mammaloes! It felt authentic and was simply delightful. We loved the location near the donkey sanctuary (one of my favorite spots) and Willeke was so helpful and considerate, helping us quickly secure a car (we had forgotten) and super attentive to anything we asked for. Already ready to go back :)

Olga was amazing. The instructions were clear and breakfast was very convenient. We stayed in two of the villas which allowed for 5 people to sleep comfortably. She had great recommendations for beaches and restaurants. The pool was relaxing and clean. The outdoor kitchen and refrigerators were helpful. I would stay here again. Met other travelers from around the world while we stayed. The gated property added a level of safety for parking I was not expecting.

Mammaloes is magical. If you're looking for a! Easy to experience Aruba without the hustle and bustle of the resort areas this is a wonderful place to do so. A short drive from all the beaches and attractions but quiet and serene. Very safe for solo travelers.

Mammaloes was a quiet, friendly and unique experience that I won’t soon forget. The outdoor shared kitchen makes for a great way to meet people from all over the world. The space was visually pleasing with a beautiful pool featuring gorgeous artwork, perfect for great photo backdrops! It’s best to rent a car when choosing this location as it is tucked away from all the hustle and bustle of the City providing a more authentic/local experience. Perfect for couples or single travellers alike. The Host had great communication and was knowledgeable on all the secret local spots! She has everything you need to enjoy the island. If you’re looking for basic hotel vibes, unlimited AC, and boring pastel walls, this isn’t the spot for you. BUT if you’re open, you may find yourself a home away from home at Mammaloes! I will be back very soon!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming boutique hotel, and it exceeded all my expectations. If you’re looking for a place that offers great service, reasonable prices, and a welcoming, home-like atmosphere, this is it. The hotel is small and cozy, with a lovely pool and beautifully designed common areas for dining and relaxing. These spaces are perfect for socializing with fellow travelers, which added a warm and communal feel to my stay. The shared kitchen was a huge plus - ideal for anyone who enjoys cooking their own meals. Although it’s a bit away from the beaches, ample parking makes it easy if you have a car. Nearby attractions like Arikok National Park and the Donkey Sanctuary are relatively close, making it a great base for exploring the area. For those without a vehicle, the owner - a truly kind and generous lady- went above and beyond, even driving me to the national park herself. Highly recommend!

As someone who loves the island of Aruba I was looking for different places to stay to learn more about the island. When I came upon this property I was in complete shock! My favorite color is purple and to see that they had a purple gypsy wagon I knew this was the place for me! It made me forget that I was on the island of Aruba it takes you to a place of peace and tranquility. Planes do fly overhead since it is not far from the airport but after awhile it fades away. This is truly a great spot if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the resort area.

Get ready to pay for AC. Yes, air conditioner. $50 btw. I was greeted with an email stating a payment of $25, in cash, was expected upon arrival as a "resort fee". It's not a resort. Along with a page full of rules - which basically, if you don't follow, you'll be charged a fee. For example, if you stain one of the two towels provided.. it's a $25 fee per towel. It didn't feel welcoming at all, everything was a fee. Not even complementary water.. Felt like I was being watched the entire time. Oh, and how could I forget the gigantic cockroach walking around the room... Been to Aruba four times- first time I experienced something like this.
