All-Inclusive Resorts on Eagle Beach, Aruba: Options, Prices, and Alternatives

Eagle Beach in Aruba has a few all-inclusive and near-all-inclusive resort options, but far fewer than neighboring Palm Beach. The true all-inclusive properties on or immediately adjacent to Eagle Beach are Manchebo Beach Resort and Spa, Bucuti and Tara Beach Resort, and the Divi and Tamarijn resorts on nearby Druif Beach. Nightly rates for all-inclusive packages typically range from $200 to $500 per person depending on season and room type.

Aruba does not follow the large-scale all-inclusive model found in Mexico or the Dominican Republic. Most Eagle Beach resorts operate on a European Plan (room only) or offer meal plan add-ons. This guide covers the properties that do offer bundled meal and drink packages.

Manchebo Beach Resort and Spa

Manchebo Beach Resort and Spa is a boutique property with 72 rooms on the widest stretch of Eagle Beach. It offers a Premium Culinary All-Inclusive program that includes daily breakfast, a la carte lunch and dinner, and premium open bar with cocktails, wines, and spirits. A Half Board option starts at $65 per person per day, while Full Board starts at $97.50 per person per day. The resort focuses on wellness, with complimentary yoga classes on the beach.

Bucuti and Tara Beach Resort

Bucuti and Tara Beach Resort is an adults-only property directly on Eagle Beach, consistently ranked among the top resorts in the Caribbean. It is certified carbon-neutral and has won multiple sustainability awards. The resort offers all-inclusive packages that include meals at its on-site Elements Restaurant, drinks, and resort activities. Rooms start around $350 per night for the all-inclusive rate. Bucuti is best suited for couples and honeymoons rather than families.

Divi Aruba All Inclusive and Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive

The Divi and Tamarijn resorts sit on Druif Beach, immediately south of Eagle Beach (about a 10-minute walk). They are the most traditional all-inclusive properties in Aruba, with meals, drinks, water sports, and entertainment included in the rate. The Tamarijn is the more casual of the two and features a kids’ club, making it the better family option. The Divi includes access to a 9-hole golf course. Guests at either resort can use the facilities at both. All-inclusive rates typically start around $250 per person per night.

Non-inclusive alternatives on Eagle Beach

Barcelo Aruba has 373 rooms and is located near Eagle Beach. It operates primarily on a room-only or breakfast-included basis, though meal plan add-ons may be available. Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort is a smaller property on Eagle Beach with studio and suite-style rooms, including kitchens for self-catering. It does not offer an all-inclusive plan but its location on Eagle Beach and lower room rates make it a good value option.

Note: Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort and Renaissance Aruba Resort are sometimes listed as Eagle Beach options, but they are located on Palm Beach (about 3 miles north) and in Oranjestad (about 2 miles southeast) respectively. They are not walking distance to Eagle Beach.

Getting there

Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA) is about 10 minutes by taxi from Eagle Beach resorts. Taxi fare from the airport to Eagle Beach is approximately $25 to $30. Most resorts can arrange airport transfers in advance, and rental cars are available at the airport. Aruba is outside the hurricane belt, so weather disruptions are rare year-round.

Best time to book

Peak season runs from mid-December through April, with the highest rates around Christmas, New Year, and Carnival (February). The shoulder months of May, June, and November offer lower rates and fewer crowds with similar weather. Aruba averages about 82 degrees Fahrenheit year-round with very little rainfall, so there is no true “bad” season to visit.

Frequently asked questions

Are there any all-inclusive resorts on Eagle Beach?

Yes, but options are limited compared to other Caribbean destinations. Manchebo Beach Resort and Spa and Bucuti and Tara Beach Resort both offer all-inclusive packages directly on Eagle Beach. The Divi and Tamarijn resorts on adjacent Druif Beach are the most traditional full all-inclusive properties in the area.

Which Eagle Beach resort is best for families?

Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive on Druif Beach (a 10-minute walk from Eagle Beach) is the best all-inclusive family option. It has a kids’ club and allows children of all ages. Bucuti and Tara is adults-only, and Manchebo is more wellness-focused without a kids’ program.

How much do all-inclusive resorts on Eagle Beach cost?

All-inclusive rates range from about $200 per person per night at Manchebo (with meal plan add-ons) to $350+ at Bucuti and Tara. The Divi and Tamarijn resorts start around $250 per person per night for full all-inclusive. Prices are highest from December through April and lowest in September and October.

Is Eagle Beach or Palm Beach better for all-inclusive resorts?

Palm Beach has more large-scale resorts (Hyatt Regency, Riu Palace, Hilton) but fewer true all-inclusive options. Eagle Beach has a quieter, less crowded atmosphere with smaller boutique properties. If you want a traditional full all-inclusive with kids’ clubs and large pools, the Divi and Tamarijn near Eagle Beach are your best options. If you want a luxury boutique experience, Manchebo or Bucuti on Eagle Beach are better choices.

Is Aruba a good all-inclusive destination?

Aruba is excellent for beaches and weather, but it has fewer all-inclusive resorts than destinations like Cancun, Punta Cana, or Jamaica. The all-inclusive options that do exist tend to be smaller and more upscale. If you prefer a quieter, more intimate all-inclusive experience on a consistently sunny island, Aruba works well.
