About this house rental
Marazul Dive Resort is located in Westpunt, western tip of the island, 30 minute drive from the airport. Surrounded by the green nature of this part of the island you have found your vacation spot if you like to enjoy peace and quiet in a tropical setting. MDR is a privately owned, oceanfront, quiet, gated community nestled among lush tropical plants and palm trees set on a small cliff. The stairs on the cliff wall lead you into the warm crystal clear turquoise water of the sea for snorkeling, swimming and diving. The house reef is within a few hundred feet from the stairs and full of many forms of sea life.
The location and its beautiful open grounds with palm trees, tropical flowers, and a sparkling pool invite you for a week or two or a winter getaway. Landscape offers the perfect postcard photo at every turn. The unobstructed sunset seaviews, complete with trade winds, sunshine, beautiful bird life and security. The front yard is the Caribbean Sea. You never have to leave the resort to snorkel, swim and dive to your heart's content. With a perfect view of an amazing sunset every day of your holiday as you watch the sun goes down while enjoying dinner/cocktails on the terrace.
We have the very best of the island’s natural beauty, and it’s calmest, most protected water. Five of the island’s most pristine beaches: Knip, Playa Kalki, Playa Lagun, Cas Abao, Porto Marie, (each with very good shore diving and snorkeling). Two beautiful national parks (not to be missed) are about 7 minutes away: Mt. Christoffel, Curaçao's highest peak, a 360° views of the island on a clear day and Shete Boka where large, unpredictable waves crush against an underground cave. We have 6 restaurants less than 5 minutes away (including 2 of the island’s highest rated ), and 2 full service dive shops in this same area. The capital city of Willemstad -- UNESCO World Heritage City with museums, colorful, fascinating architecture and lots of shopping, restaurants and casinos -- is just a 35-minute drive.
Our 2-story oceanfront townhome, “home-away-from-home” is just steps away from the waters edge and an unobstructed views into the blue sea. Our condo has all of the comforts of a home and provides everything needed to enjoy an unforgettable vacation. A fully-equipped kitchen will make meals easy and entertainment.
Each unit in MDR is individually owned and furnished. We strongly believe our townhome is the best in class and the best choice for your stay. We take pride in our home and this is our 2nd home which we spend 3-4 months a year and not just rental property and every effort has been made to make sure our home is a place our guests will greatly enjoy and a place to which you would like to return and refer to your friends.
We have the best location in the resort, close to the pool but not on top of it. There is secure parking and we have a friendly/helpful on-site manager who checks in with you each day to make sure everything is fine. He arranges fishing with the local, diving, grocery shopping, or whatever you might need.
Our home is completely renovated and updated with everything new with all the high end upgrades to our home for your relaxing vacation: Wi-Fi, IPTV with all the US channels, movie channels including HBO and Showtime, international channels including Canada., air conditioning units, ceiling fans, brand new Samsung French door refrigerator/freezer Feb 2022, induction cooktop (2/2024), microwave, large countertop Cuisinart convection toaster oven, toaster, blender, electric kettle, 12 cups Mr coffee maker, small coffee grinder, cutlery set, induction nonstick cookware set, Oneida silverware for 8, open-plan living area with a King size orthopedic sofa bed, and dining table for 4. All new louvered door and windows and new downstairs sliding doors. It has two full baths and hot water in the kitchen and hot water in the upstairs bath. New louvered door with keyless entry lock for security while at the pool or diving so you don't have to worry about carrying a key while out. All the doors, sliders and windows have screens which are very important on the island.
Expanded master suite (one of the largest townhome bedrooms in resort) with brand new Serta King size bed Feb 2022 for a comfortable sleep and sitting area has a sofa bed. The bedroom suite has an ensuite bathroom, large walk-in closet with a safe for your passports, valuables and big enough for a small laptop/tablet (a surprisingly rare - but very necessary amenity!!). The master suite opens onto a beautiful terrace with breathtaking ocean views to watch the beautiful sunsets and enjoy cocktails or dinners.
On the property is a tranquil pool overlooking the ocean surrounded by beautiful Bougainvillea and palm trees and with comfortable lounge chairs present the perfect spot for reading or sunbathing or just relax with a cocktail.
Upon booking we’ll send you a welcome/information packet about Curaçao / Marazul which will help you prepare for your island vacation. We have done extensive research and it covers from A to Z (activities, beaches, car rental, groceries, restaurants, etc.) so you will be well informed. Please contact us 1.914.715.0589 or Marazul5B at Gmail dot com
Curaçao is located in the tropics, just 12° north of the Equator and outside of the hurricane belt making it a spectacular vacation destination any time of the year. Curaçao has a warm, sunny climate year round. The average temperature is about 27° C (mid 80s F). There is a refreshing trade winds blowing constantly from the north-east. Curaçao has the safest drinking water in the world. The drinking water is desalinated and better than the most expensive bottled water. You can drink the water straight from the tap.
Curaçao a Dutch Caribbean Island, is known for its beaches tucked into coves and its expansive coral reefs rich with marine life. Curaçao has been voted the #1 Destination in the Caribbean by Readers Choices and #1 and #2 every year for scuba diving and snorkeling in the Caribbean. Visibility is well over 100 feet. Serious divers have long flocked to Curacao. Whether you’re looking for a challenging wall dive or a shallow snorkeling spot, you’ll find it here with sugar-fine sand and calm waters. Be sure to explore Willemstad, Curaçao’s capital city. Its charming pastel buildings and equally colorful history earned it recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage City.

Hue and Carl's home was the perfect home base for a relaxing Caribbean getaway. Hue and Carl were incredibly responsive and helpful leading up to the vacation, and onside, the property manager was available for anything that came up (which was nothing!). The home matches the photos - very clean, well-stocked with dishes, appliances, and beach/ocean needs - cooler, chairs, snorkels/fins.

We had a wonderful stay! We appreciate all the helpful information sent beforehand. The unit was clean and well-stocked. Thank you for a great stay!

This is a wonderful place. Quiet. A view of the sea. Close to all the best beaches. And all from wonderful, easy-to-deal-with hosts. We hope to be back again.

This condo was the perfect honeymoon location for us! Beautiful condo and view! Close to so many beaches! Whenever we come back to Curacao, we will stay here every time! We did not have any communication with the property manager but we did not need anything. Carl & Hue gave us all the information that we needed to enjoy our stay. We were at the beaches for most of the day everyday. However, we did see the manager's office door open. I am sure that if we needed anything, they would have assisted us. We had a wonderful stay!
5.0 / 5.0
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this townhouse! We loved the location. Quiet area but still close to great restaurants. Also only a few minutes from what became our favorite beach! The views were incredible. Watching the sunset each evening from the patio and the sea wall was a real treat! We enjoyed snorkeling at the bottom of the access steps. Looking forward to returning to this incredible island and beatififul townhouse!

Beautiful views and clean accommodations. Definitely get a car for your stay. Hue is sweet and responded quickly when we couldn’t get our door open. Listed accurately as one condos with the best views. Private entry to the water for snorkeling or diving off the cliff side and close to several beaches and restaurants within walking distance.
5.0 / 5.0
This property was clean and has the most amazing views. The hosts are unreal. After we booked it they sent us a packet with details of beaches, restaurants, car rental recommendations etc. It was very detailed and became our travel guide. Our trip would not have been as amazing as it was if it weren't for the hosts providing this guide.
The snorkeling at Marazul was amazing. The restaurant within walking distance is delicious. We went beach hoping one day and made it to 5 beaches that are all close to Marazul. Each was unique and amazing!
The bed was comfortable, pillows could be better. The kitchen had everything we needed for meals etc.
We stayed 4 days and loved every minute. I highly recommend Marazul 5B

5.0 / 5.0
Just as advertized - Marvelous!
Loved it!
Hue was an awesome and an available (online) resource. The condo is exactly as described, near the pool and equidistant to the compound's two water access points.
We had a real hard time leaving, kind of hoping that winter storms in the US would strand us in Curacao for a longer stay!
Kitchen has all the pans and utensils you would need for cooking in-house for a week as we did. We used the Weber charcoal grill just once and relied on the 4-burner stovetop for all else. Used toaster oven to bake small surprise birthday cake too
We only turned on A/C one night when breeze through the place died. The cross-breeze with occasional supplement from ceiling fans were super comfy all other times.
We relied heavily on wifi with ZERO problem.
We never met property manager, though we THINK we know who he was. Other grounds crew and late-night security were super friendly.
Hue's instructions on securing items and unit are probably prudent, but know that we never had concern, feeling, or worry about security on the grounds etc.
We enjoyed company of some other new renters we met and some new owners of a unit, as well as some long-term repeat renters Hue introduced us to.
The world is so big, but if we can get back to Curacao, Marazul is for us!

Great tropical location!
We had a great stay at this tropical property! The space was the perfect size and the hosts were great at communicating with us on what to expect. We loved both terraces, especially with the views of the sea, sunsets, manicured property and pool! The location was closer than expected to restaurants, beaches and our favorite...Christoffel National Park. Don' miss the iguanas sunning themselves on the wall around the property each morning or the snorkeling off the 2 different stair entries on each end of the Dive Resort's property. Would definitely recommend!

Recommend highly!
We had a wonderful stay in Marazul Dive Resort in this townhouse, which was well-equipped with everything we needed for an enjoyable stay on lovely Curacao. We especially loved the upstairs deck, with its views of the coast, ocean, and sunsets. The resort is very nice with a pool, well-kept grounds, and a population of green iguanas along the wall above the sea. In the area, there are many beautiful beaches in the area, several parks, and several good restaurants. The resort manager has very responsive to questions. We enjoyed visiting the rugged Atlantic side of the island too. The owners sent us useful information before our visit - be sure to follow their advice. Wonderful place!

Maralzul 5B Vacation
We really enjoyed our vacation at Marazul Dive Resort. Unit 5B was everything we expected and would love to stay again in the future. Hue and Carl provided an enormous amount of information that helped us in many ways. We met many other guests on the property and it was a wonderful experience!
Rene, the property manager, was extremely helpful and informative.
We can't wait to return to Curacao and Marazul 5B!
5.0 / 5.0
Awesome place. Just as described!
We stayed in 5B from March 11-18. Very nice unit with everything we needed. Comfy bed and well equipped kitchen. The info packet sent before our arrival was complete and very helpful for our first time on Curacao. Snorkeling out front was great and complete with sea turtles! Had a car and went to nearby beaches. Somewhat remote area with 4 restaurants close by. They were adequate with Sol Food being the best. Not close to grocery store so glad we planned ahead. The only minor thing I didnt like was the bedroom AC blew directly on the bed. We loved this island and will definitely be back soon!
5.0 / 5.0
Amazing, Wonderful Home away from home
Our 4th trip to Curaçao and second stay in 5B. We stayed in other unit last year since our dates were not available and found 5B to be the most updated, well maintained, equipped and CLEAN. The condo has been completely renovated, beautifully decorated and comfortably furnished. Very well and thoughtfully stocked with everything you would want/need (with snorkeling gear, beach chairs, cooler, towels, nice fridge, kitchen gadgets..
Very spacious and comfortable living areas open out to the patio overlooking the pool and the Caribbean Sea.
The bedroom is spacious with a comfortable king size bed and a sitting area opens to the beautiful deck with amazing views of the sea and the village of Westpunt.
Nice outdoor furniture on both decks.
Front door has keyless entry which is a GREAT PLUS as we never had to worry about carrying the key around .
It is well located, close to pool, very quiet and relaxing.
The grounds of Marazul are well maintained. The pool is very clean and always plenty of chairs. The resort itself is very safe, quiet and gated.
The location is perfect, easy access to some of the best beaches on the island.
We can’t say enough about this unit and Hue and Carl are wonderful, very friendly, and a lovely couple to work with and responsive to all your needs.
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!!
AND thank you Hue for the great restaurant picks!
We highly, highly recommend this home!! 😊

Beautiful, safe location for 2 right on the ocean
This property is in a great location for snorkling with very good access on-site and it is also very close to a number of West End beaches and coves. The apartment was clean and well equipped. The owners, Carl and Hue, are very responsive and provided lots of information before hand so we were well prepared for our visit. The site manager was also very helpful. There were a number of good restaurants in the area as well. Our only problem was the rather steep staircase, a difficulty for the joint challenged.

This is a great place!
We had a wonderful stay here: the clean and very well-equipped townhouse provides great outdoor living spaces on both floors; the Marazul Dive Resort is just a short drive to some of the most beautiful beaches and snorkeling you'll find in Curacao (or anywhere else); and Carl & Hue are responsive hosts who provide lots of helpful, pre-trip information about things to do, places to visit, and great places to eat in Westpunt.

In Paradise! Perfect Place to Stay!!
We loved our stay at All New Oceanfront with Magnificent Views of the Caribbean Sea, 5B. The home was spacious, clean and well-equipped for absolutely everything we wanted or needed. Comfortable bed and the AC in the bedroom was quiet and cooled down quickly. Hue and Carl were wonderful hosts, answering many questions. The info booklet was an invaluable guide (28 pages) and had everything we needed to plan our island vacation from history, fast facts to things to do, where to go for grocery, gas, snorkeling/diving sites, restaurants, etc.
We’re early risers and began our days with breakfast on the upper terrace taking in the incredible view. Exploring the island, went to many different beaches for diving/snorkeling and some of the best snorkeling/dive right at Marazul. Coming home to breathtaking sunsets. We went to town one late afternoon and tried our luck at the Carnaval Casino in the Renaissance hotel.
This was our first visit to Curaçao with lots to dos. Very easy to get around (must have a car), safe and the locals are friendly. Without a doubt we will be back next year and would certainly rent this villa again. We have stayed at many vacation rentals and this one was by far the BEST! We’d give this a PERFECT TEN!!
5.0 / 5.0
Perfect vacation
We had a lot of fun staying at this property. The owners are super responsive and even followed up after hurricane Florence to found out if we were ok, really appreciated it, thanks!
The unit has everything that you may need. It is close to the pool, but not so close that it is a bother when people are in there. That pool was actually a godsend after a day swimming and being in the sun.
The property is very nice and clean, the gardens are nice. I think the palm trees may need some TLC though. Snorkeling right from the property was very nice, especially early morning. The sunsets are spectacular.
The actual condo we stayed in was nice, enough packing space for clothes, everything in the kitchen you may need, those stairs, phew . . . I had a knee replacement a few months ago and I sure got my exercise in. We never used the television. We had dinner every night upstairs on the porch and breakfast in the morning out there as well.
Should we visit Curacao again, we will probably consider staying at this unit again. We went to Willemstad for an overnight trip halfway through our stay and it was actually a waste of time, Just stay on the west side of the Island.
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your house.

Great Vacation, Great Location! Amazing Views!!!
It was everything we could have imagined and more, comfortable, breezy, clean and felt like at home immediately. Resort is very private and quite. Great customer service by Hue and Carl with all little details provided by them. Kitchen had the best equipped of any rentals we’ve ever been in (even items like vegetable peeler, cheese grater, coffee grinder, etc) owners thought of all little things. Loved loved loved the expanded bedroom, lots of room, walk-in closet with a large safe. Comfortable bed.
We drove to different beaches where we did some snorkeling, saw some turtles at Playa Grandi!!! We enjoyed going to town but couldn’t wait to get “home”. We cooked most of our meals and enjoyed them in the upstairs terrace. Had a nice dinner at Shelterrock recommended by Hue. Centrum market had every we needed.
We were be beyond happy! We highly recommend Marazul 5B. Thank you Hue and Carl for sharing your home. We will return, that’s for sure!

Awesome stay in Curaçao at Matazul!!
We loved our stay in Curaçao. People were very friendly, great food and wonderful culture.
We really enjoyed our stay at Marazul. Clean premises all over property, Réné was awesome. Very friendly and helpful always inquiring if we were ok and if we needed anything. Beautiful views from the hillside, pool was always clean. Our unit was very clean and well kept. All equipment was new, spacious. We appreciated the owners checking in on us midway through our stay and offering us fresh linens and towels. Very much appreciated. Only thing that was a little bothersome was the smell and presence of mildew underneath kitchen counters in the cabinets. Whatever we used needed to be thoroughly cleaned before using them and when it rained the odour was stronger. Other than that we were very happy with our stay and strongly recommend it to anyone.
We will definitely be returning!

Quiet island getaway
Everything was as pictured. We had more privacy than we expected. Beautiful sunsets and iguanas. Enjoyed both balconies. Kitchen was functional. Be sure to plan on cooking breakfast there. Not much around open for breakfast and markets are not close by. Wi-Fi was excellent. Owners were very responsive to all texts. Loved it.

Close to awesome beaches.
The property was as described, good view of the water (we saw a pod of dolphins one morning), convenient to the pool. The property was secure. The king size bed was very comfortable and having the safe was very reassuring. The stair case is steep so my husband's touchy knee got a good work out (Ha!). The town home was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed our time on the island!

Wonderful stay at Marazul
My husband and I stayed at this property for 5 nights after spending 3 nights in Willemstad. It was a welcome break from the hustle and bustle! The far end of the island is very peaceful with many beautiful beaches. Marazul is a pretty, well maintained, quiet, gated community.
It was fun meeting people from all over Europe, South America, and North America! Our condo was clean and comfortable. Everything was exactly as shown/described on the website. We would definitely stay there again if we return to Curacao (not sure about that, as the weather was very hot in early November).

Relaxing Getaway at Marazul
The townhouse was great--clean and well furnished. It was super hot and you can't run the air all the time, so the huge floor fan was a great help. The property is really nice--beautiful pool and a great snorkeling area off the cliffs. Hugh and Carl provided awesome information. And you definitely need a car to get around.

Enjoyed our stay
The accommodations are excellent very clean. They have everything you need in townhome. The information package sent out by Hue and Carl was very helpful to make it easier for you. You did a great job. Marazul is very quiet and the grounds are kept clean. The pool is also very clean. We rented a car which was very handy to get around. We stayed a month and did not want to leave. Enjoyed the different beaches with our friends who stayed in a different town home on the property. Shopping was good as they have everything you need. We really enjoyed our stay. Weather was great. We did have some rain but not enough to spoil your time. We will visit again.

Excellent vacation spot. Exactly as advertised
Just got back from two amazing weeks at Marazul 5B (end of Nov/early Dec 2016). Photos on VRBO accurately showed the unit and grounds at Marazul. Nothing in the posting was misleading. It was very quiet and relaxing and the neighbours were friendly and very helpful. The information package sent out by Hue and Carl was extremely detailed and useful. Contrary to the weather "forecasts" for the area the weather was exactly what one would expect from a Caribbean vacation - sunny and hot. The beaches were great with our favorite being close to home - Playa Grandi. Saw tons of cool things there including sea turtles and a bait ball. Favorite meal was Lionfish at Sol Food - also an excellent location to watch the sunset while you eat. After navigating around the island for a little while getting from one place to another is pretty simple but having a gps was helpful once we started looking for more obscure things in the "Big City." Overall we enjoyed our stay immensely and would recommend Marazul 5B without hesitation. Thanks Hue and Carl for allowing us to stay in your home.

Bon Bini Curacao at the Marazul Dive Resort!
Bon Bini Curacao! We visited Curacao from September 23- October 1. I miss it daily. It was absolutely gorgeous during that time of year. The weather was consistently sunny, clear, and hot. The only anomaly was the birth of Hurricane Matthew, which brewed right around the Southern Caribbean. Hurricanes are a rarity in the Dutch Islands, and thankfully we were minimally affected.
Prior to travelling (and packing), I did not know Curacao is literally a desert island. The trees on the island are comprised of various species of Cactus plants. Very different, but very “cool”. It is HOT and DRY. So prepare for just that. You will want to wear clothes than you can breathe and sweat in.
Hue is one of the greatest hosts out there. She is kind, trustworthy, friendly, and attentive. I had an A+ experience working with her and I would highly recommend booking with Hue and Carl because you won't have to worry and you can rely on people who truly care about your vacation.
Pre-vacation: Hue will send out an informational packet that she put together. It served as our bible on the island. It includes helpful resources on everything from traveling to the island, local car rental agencies, things to do (diving sites, beaches ((there are TONS)), great local restaurants, safety precautions, grocery stores, gas stations, and all the nooks and crannies in her home.
I think vacationing to Westpunt, Curacao is for the adventurous spirit. You will definitely be on the remote end of the island. It is local and less touristy which we preferred. We went to the real touristy spots a couple days and did not enjoy it at all compared to our private oasis up North. You will need a car, but be careful...The road rules on the island are almost nonexistent and up to interpretation. Just drive carefully.
At Marazul Dive Resort, the town home was quiet and quaint. The resort (this time of year) was not busy, not loud, and a total oasis. There are friendly iguanas all over and they love fruit and scraps.
If you are looking for something new and different, then go with the Marazul Dive Resort.
Thank you for everything Hue and Carl!!!

My wife and I visited Curacao for the 7th time and this was our second visit for New Years eve and it was a blast, I would go every year if we could. We spent our first 3 nights downtown at the Renaissance and then moved to the unit at the Marazul resort of Carl and Hue. We have stayed at other units in the resort, I must say that their unit was the most updated and convenient one we have stayed at. The unit had everything we needed to be comfortable and the kitchen was great with a really nice refrigerator, everything you need is at your disposal. We have a routine over the years of doing our own shopping before coming out and renting a car for getting around the island, and we go everywhere. We like to visit the local beaches and swim with the turtles after the local fisherman filet their catch in the morning. Out front of the resort is some great snorkeling, diving and swimming along with breath taking views. We visit the local restaurants with Sol Food being one of our favorites and if you like to mountain bike talk to David at the Sol Food. I cannot say enough about this beautiful Island it is my favorite after going to Aruba for years, we even have a timeshare their. So if your looking for a nice relaxing vacation where you have so many options of things to do then Curacao is the place to go. If your looking for a nice and quiet place to relax and recharge your batteries then rent Carl and Hues unit , we will be booking soon and hopefully it will be 2 weeks next time instead of one.

11 days in Marazul dive resort
I want to thank you Carl and Hue, we enjoyed every day we spent at their villa in Marazul, on the beautiful island of Curacao. Our first visit to Curacao with our two boys of 6 and 5 years old. The villa was very confortable (for the 4 of us) and clean, pool was inviting for the whole family, we enjoyed the BBQ almost every night and had a really restful and refreshing stay. The owners gave us all the information we needed and even more, like a "home made" Curacao travel guide, really helpful for the active family we are.
We wish to come back soon...

Wonderful Vacation Home - Great Vacation!
My husband and I just returned from a wonderful 10 night stay in Curacao. We first visited Curacao 2 years ago and enjoyed it so much that we chose to return to the same property, although a different unit this time. Owners Hue and Carl were lovely to deal with, responding quickly to all our queries. They provided a great package of things to see and do on the island as well. They have done a lovely job of decorating and upgrading their unit. The kitchen lacked for nothing, and everything was new and worked beautifully. All furnishings were very comfortable, including the outdoor patio sets where we spent much time. Having screened doors allowed for the incredible trade winds to blow through constantly. The only time we used the air conditioning was in the upstairs bedroom to sleep. The views from the unit were stunning and we loved having our breakfast outdoors while watching the many beautiful birds and hearing their song. Sunsets on the upper patio every evening are gorgeous and we enjoyed a number of dinners there. We were close to the pool without being right over it, and met many of our neighbours while there. The property manager, Rene, was always available to answer questions, and was very prompt to help us with a minor problem, and we were very pleased to see that Marazul as a whole has continued to be very well maintained. The flowers and shrubbery are gorgeous and in full flower, a sea ladder was added to the water entrance at the far end of the property while we were there, making entrance into the sea much easier. A car is a necessity at this end of the island, and we enjoyed visiting some of the nearby beaches (our favourite snorkelling spots being Playa Lagun, and Playa Kenepa Chiki , as well as Playa Grandi where the fishing boats come in and we snorkelled with loads of turtles of all sizes). We visited Shete Boka this time - definitely worth the visit. The ribs at Playa Lagun are fabulous and they will prepare them for take-out to enjoy at home later in the evening, Trio Penotti is a fabulous restaurant where we enjoyed two dinners, and Willemstad is only about 40 minutes away for major grocery stores and sightseeing. But it was always wonderful to return "home" to Marazul where it is much quieter and more peaceful! We would definitely recommend this rental unit. It has all the amenities and wonderful owners to deal with. Although we rarely repeat destinations, we hope to visit Marazul again in the future!

First trip to Curacao. We loved the island. Marazul is the perfect location for travellers looking for a tranquil location on the less developed side of the island. Beaches are beautiful quiet coves with excellent snorkeling in crystal clear water. The unit has been renovated and one the best equipped rentals I have stayed in. The view from the unit was breathtaking . Dining on the upper balcony was magic with the sunsets. The resort was landscaped with tropical flowers. Driving was easy and the car rent a must. The owners were a pleasure to deal with. They provided us with many helpful tips and maps to find the resort. We have spent many weeks in the Caribbean and this location and unit is definitely our favourite! We highly recommend this unit and resort. There was a grill, well equipped kitchen and many little extras that made it unique.

We loved everything about this beautiful home in Curacao. Though there was no beach on the property, there were many excellent beaches to choose from only minutes away. The pool was perfect. It was a perfect end to our day. Stairs leading to the ocean was perfect for snorkeling. Sunsets were spectacular. We did not miss one. The unit has been very nicely renovated and has everything you could possibly need. Loved having the water and ice dispenser. The view is breathtaking from both patios. Two full bathrooms!!! The property manager was very helpful and checked in on us every day. The grocery stores on the Island are very well stocked with fresh produce and meat. We enjoyed the outdoor grill every night. The owner, Hue was wonderful to correspond with and was always prompt in responding to questions. We highly recommend this property. Lise and Dave

My husband and I were looking for a place for just the two of us to get away to the beach. There were many condos to choose at Marazul and after exchanging emails with several other owners and we decided to choose 5B. Just like the description said each unit is individually owned and furnished and others were slightly less in price but “you get what you pay for.” We glad we made the right decision. We met some really nice couples by the pool and got to know one in particular and invited them over for cocktails. Once they saw our condo they were mesmerized and they wished they had chosen our unit.
So here is our review..
It is quiet, stunningly beautiful, with wonderful beaches nearby and great food options. The resort and this unit 5B in particular are so beautifully maintained! We agree with everything that's been said by the other reviewers; but we want to emphasize, this condo is SPOTLESS! The kitchen is very well equipped and exactly as described and it truly felt like a home. We took full advantage of that to cook our meals in - the bb grill was great. The view having coffee in the morning on the covered porch is breathtaking. We loved relaxing on the upstairs terrace at sunset and the spacious master suite.
It was wonderful having two full bathrooms, his and mine! The bed was so comfortable and I got the best sleep of my life, it is so quiet and peaceful. I cannot say enough how private and perfect it is! The location is the best! The pool was just steps away from our unit and so convenient. There were 2 sets of stairs directly to the sea and we snorkeled each morning after breakfast and the best snorkeling in Curacao is right here.We went to town a couple times and it was always so nice to come "home" to our beautiful, peaceful condo. The onsite manager checked in on us every morning to see if we needed anything. The information booklet provided by the owners was priceless. The owner, Hue was wonderful to correspond with by both phone and email. Hue was always pleasant and prompt in responding to questions and you can tell that she and her family love this property. Thanks again Hue and Carl for making our trip a very memorable one. We can't wait to return.

This was our first trip to Curacao and we stayed in 5B at Marazul and what an awesome place!! The owners were very helpful and answered our questions promptly prior to booking. Thank you Carl and Hue for such a beautiful and unforgettable vacation from the beginning to end. The info packet was a life safer; it covered from A to Z as this was our first trip to Curacao and we didn’t know what to expect.. The minute we walked in the door, we felt right at home. The condo and pictures were just as described or more. It is sparkling and spotless clean. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you would want in a home. We loved the fridge with the water dispenser, what a nice touch! The bed was so comfy and we slept to the sounds of the ocean. The ac was so quiet and cooled quickly and most of the time we just slept with the windows open. Amazing view of upper terrace. Great bbq grill and we grilled every night while watching the sunset and oh my my, sunsets are absolutely breathtaking! The grounds were beautiful with a sparkling pool and lots of lounge chairs. There are so many beaches within 10 minutes from the resort. Our favorite is the Knip. We climbed to the top of Mt. Christoffel and the amazing views of the island.
If you are looking for the most relaxing beautiful true island experience, this place is for you and I highly recommend 5B without any hesitation and we’re definitely planning on returning in the near future.

It was nice, quite and relaxing. We wanted to get away and relax and we got exactly what we wished for. It was relaxing and we had plenty of time for just us and the beach. Facilities were in great shape and had all the amenities described.

My husband and I stayed almost two weeks and enjoyed every second. If was difficult to leave. Quiet, relaxing and oh so beautiful. Everything was spotless and had all we needed in the way household and kitchen items was provided and Renee, the Manager, was awesome and so helpful and friendly. We met several other couples by the pool or walking the grounds and had great conversation about diving the area. Diving was fantastic in front of the property as well as at several shore locations up and down the immediate area... all within a short 5 - 20 minute drive. WiFi was provided as well as TV (but who had time for those with paradise right outside your door). Oh, and sunsets were to die for... everyone in the resort would stroll out at that time of evening just to be amazed at the colors and beauty. Several great local restaurants that we loved (island cozy environment) and you HAVE to try the lionfish on the menu at Sol Food just down the road. Say hi to Sunshine and David for us. We did have a couple of short rain storms and lost power twice but, as Renee explained to us, if power is down for more than a short time the government has to start reimbursing local businesses, so it wasn't down long. All and all, we had the time of our lives and we will be back soon. Thank you, Hue & Carl for all the advanced info and answers to all of questions. We'll be in touch! Deborah & Ron

We stayed here for a week to shore dive around and it was great. We actually liked the diving in front of our place more...more turtles, seahorse, lots of fish. The place is great because it has a downstairs washroom as well. Everything was spotless when we arrived. The manager and owners were very helpful with information. WiFi had excellent connection. All the supplies are there. They can even go shopping for you. It's close to all nice beaches and dive sites. They have security there at night and the place is gated. It felt very safe.
