Um apareceu na varanda cortando grama cedo enquanto dormiamos e o outro da recepcao beeeem grosso Preço ok, mas voltando a curacao escolherei outro hotel

Buena ubicación, malo el servicio.

Los cuartos son amplios, la playa es maravillosa y la ubicación es excelente.

La edificación es muy vieja, se rompió un tubo en el baño y se nos inundó el cuarto. No nos hicieron servicio de limpieza en los 5 días que estuvimos allá a pesar de haberlo solicitado todos los días. Ni siquiera entran a tender las camas, es un verdadero desastre. El restaurante con el que tienen convenio es bueno pero funciona muy regular, todos los días esperando el desayuno más de media hora. Es un hotel de 550 dólares la noche y en general todo (menos la playa y las piscinas) es muy deficiente para lo que cuesta.

Enjoyed our vacation here.

We booked this place due to its location. It was close to where the family was getting scuba certified. The beach was clean and nice. The beds were comfortable and pool was well maintained. Maid staff were all super nice and did great cleaning up the room. We also really liked that we can use air conditioning and it was not based on usage. The full size fridge was fantastic but needs ice trays. There was dual Euro and USA plugs so that was helpful. Restaurant onsite does not belong to the hotel but had good food. But you can't charge to the room. Only the bar by the pool. It was walking distance to Mambo Beach and all the restaurants and shopping was nice as well. Also was able to get an onsite/beachside massage. The lady does different things on different days and you book at the front office and can charge it to the room. She gave a great massage. There is also a shuttle that comes each day you can sign up for that will take you to the local grocery store which is very well stocked. If you rent a car the city is close, lots of restaurant options less than 10 min drive.

So the check in was a bit cumbersome. Not sure if the person was new or what but instead of telling me what they needed all together they kept asking for items individually so that I had to run out to the car a couple of times. One of the beds leg was bit broken. Still worked just had to be careful with it. No scissors in the room, nor do they provide it. No plastic reusable cups either. The worst part which thank goodness was only the first night was when my oldest found a cockroach under his bed. He trapped it and threw it out. But being we were on an island we didn't make a fuss and it was only that one night. I did wonder if we didn't keep the kitchen spotless if we would encounter another one.

Lovely resort with great location and friendly helpful staff.

Loved the location and the ease of getting a beach chair. Everyone who worked there was easygoing but serious about their dedication to making our vacation perfect. The pools and jacuzzi were devine. The restaurant had amazing food and especially loved the breakfast, fries and pizza. They got us a rental car that was reasonably priced and easy to extend. We had a room that faced the Seaquarium and got to watch the dolphin show daily from our balcony which was awesome. There were plenty of places to eat and shop along Mambo beach just a short walk away. I absolutely loved this resort and will definitely be back again! Thank you!

Nothing was an issue.

Sea view rooms may not actually have sea view

This is a timeshare not a five star hotel. You get the room available from the owners of timeshare. If the owner shows up, they might make you change room (happens only in weekends), they make you sign a paper confirming you accept this, otherwise they do not check you in. Most rooms are not actually the one that is advertised in their ad with that amazing balcony by the sea. They are usually on ground floor so no balcony but a small patio in front, surrounded by bushes to provide privacy because the patio is right where the swimming pool is. It is not possible to see the sea because of the bushes (unless you stand up on your toes, then you can get a glimpse). When I complained, they trimmed the bushes down. Then you get a view over the pool and over the sea behind the pool (see pics for before/after). Staff was kind, I was there during xmas, it must be already difficult to work during those days and on top of that deal with a complaining client, but they kindly tried their best. I posted the pictures of the room's view before and after. I saw reviews complaining about the uncomfortable beds and run down furniture. In our case the room was comfortable including the beds, the furniture was some nice rattan furniture that looked nice and summery too. The air conditioning and the airing in the bathroom were however very old and super noisy to the point that if one uses the bathroom at night it's almost inevitable to wake up the other. As mentioned in previous reviews, couples have to sleep in separate beds so this may not be the right place for a romantic getaway. The beach area was very comfortable and quiet, there were plenty of spaces available and there were colourful fishes right where you go to water. All in all, this is a comfortable place but definitely not a five star hotel so it is definitely overpriced.

An OK stay

The size of the room was good. You get free parking near the hotel with a security guard. Beach and pool area by the hotel is nice.

All the very strict warnings all around in the room. It is notes everywhere about the huge fees you have to pay if you do this and that. It's not a very friendly way of communicating. The air-conditioning is very noisy and has few levels to regulate. We didn't have hand soap by the bathroom sink and went to ask for it, but that isn't something they usually have in the room..for us that was very strange not to have hand soap.

We will be looking for different accommodations the next time we go to Curaçao.

Our room was conveniently located on the property. We were close to the office, beach, and pool.

We couldn’t sit outside on the balcony because there were too many mosquitoes. We were responsible for the doing our own dishes from breakfast, otherwise there was an extra charge of $75.00. We had to use the same sink to was the dishes in as we used for brushing teeth and washing hands and faces. A tea towel for drying the dishes wasn’t provided until the second last day of our stay. The toilet seat fell off and landed on my husbands toe. There was no kettle to boil water for tea.

architecture of the hotel is bad … it can be more easier to walk through designs and beautiful

i love the VIEUW that they have and very beautiful sea ….nice to swim in the sea ….

1 ) the design of the hotel is very bad and old , so I was room number 113b and every day I need to jump to enter my room or to go to the pool to climb a few stones because there is no way to get faster ….you need to turn around and walk a lot tho …. the PARKING IS VERY BAD IT IS VERY FAR …..and very expensive for a old room they are charging that alot of money only for the VIEUW that they have ….

Very good place, but need to be better managed

It's a dream hotel for family. Ample bedrooms and a gorgeous Sea veaw. Besides, there's a blue water canal with very calm waters to swim. It was my second time at the sea aquarium and I do not have any regrets.

I gave a 7 grade overall, because in the last day there were no breakfast available (it was included in my fare) and nobody at the front desk knew why and did not offer any kind of refund or voucher to take breakfast in the restaurant in front the hotel. I was in a hurry to go to the airport and payed 21 dollars for each member of my family to have breakfast in front of the hotel and, after asking for it, I've got a refund of 20 dollars total (!). Financial, expectations and time loss.

Really beautiful place.

The Hotel was really beautiful. We had our own beach and small bay, which was opened to the open water. we could book a lot of activities from the Hotel. Next to the Hotel was the dolphin aquarium. furthermore was the mambo beach 3-4 minutes to walk away. The restaurant, which is in the hotel was really good and very very nice staff. The staff of the hotel was really good and we could talk at any time with them. They helped me to book a car and to arrange that after we finished with our stay in the hotel that the rental car would drop us off at the airport. really good.

everything fine. A bit expensive. But this is a problem at every place on curacao.

The Resort is clean, friendly staff, nice pool area and amazing quite beach

The rooms could use an upgrade, interior is bit outdated especially for the price u pay. Went for Lunch with 10 persons and Restaurant food was terrible, while before was not the case when we ate 2 people, clearly they are not equipped to serve a big group at appropriate level.
