We absolutely adored our stay at Mammaloes. We booked a week in Queenie and loved having a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown and popular tourist attractions. The property is beautiful - colorful, bright and unique. We especially enjoyed the cactus garden and pool that we often had completely to ourselves. The real star of the property is the manager. Kind, generous, and informative. On the first full day on the island she gave us a thorough rundown of the island that gave us a huge leg up on knowing where to go and how to spend our time. If you’re looking for a calm, unique stay in a bohemian paradise… look no further.

Our recent visit to Mammaloes in Aruba was fantastic & I want to share the good vibes with everyone! Right from the start the place looked great & was easy to find. The staff's hospitality shone through even before our arrival, as they provided us with clear directions & promptly addressed any questions we had, setting a positive tone for our entire experience. The overall vibe of the area exuded a reassuring sense of safety, allowing us to fully unwind & savor our time at this hidden gem. The unique choice of accommodation, a cozy gypsy wagon, added a whimsical touch to our stay, making it stand out from the typical high rise hotels. The various sitting areas scattered throughout the property were cozy, creating inviting spots to relax. The pool area became our go-to spot for unwinding after a day of exploring Aruba's beauty. While my overall experience was overwhelmingly positive, I would like to offer a constructive suggestion for improvement. Some of the decking around the pool seemed a bit worn, with a few loose boards. Updating this area would not only enhance safety but also contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal. Additionally, a few more cushions for the pool chairs would be a welcome addition, making the sitting areas even more comfortable and inviting. Overall, I'm very happy I chose Mammaloes to spend a week with, & I can't wait to go back! Thank you again for your kind hospitality & for all the hard work you do to maintain your beautiful location.

My 26 year old daughter and I cannot speak highly enough about our stay at Mammaloes! We wanted a mother/daughter time away from the crowds and we couldn't be happier than having chosen Mammaloes. First- it was indeed incredibly peaceful and quiet. We felt as if we were in our own little home in the hills. Larissa takes care of EVERY detail-- from car rentals to quiet beach recommendations-- to attending to our every need in terms of day to day care. The place is quiet and peaceful and completely safe. SO comfortable too. I had been worried about there not being hot water-- but it turns out the shower was one of my most favorite things-- tepid water, refreshing after the days' outings. Larissa's breakfast are repeatedly excellent and plentiful and she recommended Baby Beach in the south which turned out to be stunningly beautiful. We can't say enough about our stay here-- thank you Larissa! You made our stay so easy and memorable!

Loved that it gave me a taste of true Aruban countryside. Swimming between cactus was the highlight. Did not like the many large gecko's roaming around at night.

Beautiful location: fruit trees, local flora, hummingbirds flying around, and utter quiet. Close to Arikok Park, Baby Beach, and other nature locations (with a car or ATV). Breakfast was affordable, large portions, and tasted good. Overall, would visit again. Advice for guests: keep windows closed to avoid bug bites. Cons: rusty metal decorations need to be replaced inside and outside the cabins. Owners and hospitality staff were Dutch, and they weren't very knowledgeable about the island; only Arubans were cleaning and landscaping staff.

The property is beautiful and clean, but is not a meditation and yoga retreat. I spoke with the owner many times, and explained that I want a yoga and meditation retreat, she had 1 day of retreat that was horrible and I was overcharged for it, the hiking was to a horrible place where I was bitten by mosquitoes, we talked all day, then we had a 10 minutes massage, the yoga was actually a stretch, with a dog and airplane noise. It was horrible! I can’t believe that she charged so much for a horrible service. My friend could not even finished the day, it was a waste of money and time. I felt taken advantage of.
