Our stay at Mammaloes was absolutely wonderful. The property offered everything we needed. The pool area is perfect for lounging in the afternoon, right at the hottest part of the day. The outdoor kitchen is well equipped and the rooms very suitable to a cozy stay.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Wonderful spot! What an amazing place to relax away from the hustle and crowds you find at around the northeast. Close to Arikok and the hidden gems among the islands beaches.

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 :)

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 é um lugar mágico, lindo, muito aconchegante, tranquilo, de muito contato com a natureza e com os animais. Willeke é um amor, nos recebeu muito bem, sempre muito prestativa e nos fazendo sentir em casa. Nos apaixonamos pelo Eddie, nosso anfitrião felino. Com certeza voltaríamos. Thank you so much, Willeke! We're gonna miss Mammaloes and Eddie, the cat.

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.
