Mammaloes

A fun and colorful place to stay! Amazing outdoor areas! We always enjoy staying here.

We stayed at the property for 5 nights Pros: -welcoming host. She helped us with information about the island and various requests - cool vibe, nice property - located near Mangel Halto and arikok national park. Short drive to San Nicolas - excellent breakfast Cons: - felt like a boarding school. Signs telling us what not to do, even on our breakfast basket. Interestingly, no sign with the cost of breakfast. - Although stated in the reservation, I have not stayed in a B&B where breakfast was not included. Isn’t that the definition of B&B? - we were not allowed to keep our bags at the check in when we arrived early. Instead we went to the beach and risked our car being broken into. - I had the worst sleep scores in over a month due to sleeping on a hard bed with awful pillows. - Never been in an accommodation where I had to pay for air conditioning. I have travelled to 61 countries.

If you love nature and outdoors, this is the right place!

The place is fantastic, I love the decoration in the room and the hostess is very sweet! I recommend this place 100% .

I liked the room very much. The place is peaceful. The staff was okay. I'll choose to go back there next time.

Let’s start with the highlights. The staff on ground were superb, friendly, patient, welcoming, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Solidified feeling safe there. The check in process was seamless. I received a message prior to landing with the process super easy. The pictures are pretty good depictions of the sight. The location is great if you have a rental car but it’s away from the main routes. However, the big concerns were the hidden fees, I was not a fan of them. There was a $75 fee that was cash only. Also there were signs in the room for charging extra for towels and using the air conditioner during the day.

Room was clean. But required an additional $75 fee if you book through expedia. Wish we knew that beforehand

The room was way smaller then the pictures show its hot their and they don’t want you to turn on the ac until after 7pm and turn off by 9am or else they will charge you a 10$ a day fee. Don’t book here! I was bitten up by bed bugs they claim I got bit by laying on the beach and at no time did I lay on the beach. No I got bitten up while laying in their bed!

A very unique experience. It met my expectations. Owner was very accommodating. Need a car, but then everything is very close. Nice pool, nice private outside areas as well as common areas. Extremely affordable. Keep in mind , I stayed in the Gypsy wagon Queenie for 2 weeks, it’s small but it has what you need. They also have an outdoor kitchen area where we occasionally cooked our own breakfast. Owner gave us a dozen eggs . I look forward to going back again

Overall a truly great and unique experience!! We are animal people so seeing the turtles and the pets on site made us very happy. Only suggestion would be to have travel guide/policys printed out in rooms and/or posted on website as we were often confused on that!

Our host was EXCELLENT! friendly, kind, and super responsive, even off-hours. The property is very off the beaten path, so a car is a must, but the gated parking was a big plus. The Gypsy wagon/room was adorable. That said, a few things made the stay less than ideal. The power went out twice (island-wide, not the property’s fault), but both times were overnight and made it hard to sleep when the room got hot. The AC rules were also tough—only allowed from 7pm–9am or you’re charged $10 each time. I get being eco-friendly, but after a full day in Aruba’s sun, waiting until 7pm to cool off is rough. Suggestion: keep the fee but only charge if AC is abused. Towels come with a $25 replacement fee if stained, and no beach towels are provided, so bring or buy your own. Shower water never got hot, but it was refreshing after the sun. The bed was rock-hard, pillows limp, and the kitchen coffee setup lacked regular coffee and accessible milk. Other oddities: one night a stranger knocked asking for “the man who lives here,” another night a, what I could only assume was a drunk person, at the neighboring house, was heard screaming and then singing after a blackout, and once someone even walked into our room (my fault for forgetting to lock the door, but still unsettling). The barking dogs out front didn’t help either. Would I stay again? No. But for solo travelers or those who like quirky, shared-style stays and don’t mind a 20-minute drive to beaches, it could be a unique experience.

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.

A lovely place to stay ,the owner she’s a lovely woman who make you feel so comfortable, definitely will be back ❤️.. thank you Mammaloes for made my vacation great.

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!

Our stay here was excellent. The staff and owner are incredibly nice and do everything they can to make your stay as comfortable as possible! Great little area, very cute, very affordable. Owner gives great recommendations as well for all sorts of things. Will definitely stay here again!

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.

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.

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.
