    I wasn’t a fan of the lizards but I realize that’s nothing that can be controlled by management. I wish there was hot water to take a hot shower. Although the weather is hot, people still enjoy a hot shower.

    The property was very beautiful. I loved the bright welcoming colors, that complimented the beautiful flowers and plants of nature.

    I arrived on Saturday evening and felt a little lost upon arrival- only bc there was no staff to greet me/answer questions. They did, however, send very thorough instructions beforehand!…. My lack of data/ WiFi made checking in alone a tad anxious- but this was no fault of theirs.

    Safe, beautiful, peaceful, immersed in nature.

    Mammoloe's is a hidden gem for me. Super nice relaxing place. Everything you need is there and if not - just ask. Each detail is arranged with love, and it's super colourful. I really liked it.

    Our stay at this guesthouse was truly unique! The hostess was extremely friendly and made us feel welcome from the very beginning. She gave us great tips on the best places to visit, which made our trip even more special. Every morning, she brought us breakfast right on time in a beautiful basket—a lovely touch that made us feel taken care of. The guesthouse itself had a very special vibe, resembling a trailer park in the best way possible. It was charming, different, and full of character. If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary with a warm and personal touch, this is the place to be!

    Our bed wasn't very comfortable. The mosquitos at night were kind of annoying. I get there isn't much you can do about that.

    We really liked the aesthetic of the place and the rooms! Staff were super friendly and gave us recommendations of things to do in the area. Everything was very clean.

    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 😁

    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. 👍😄

    Nothing I didn’t like.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
