Nice hotel, ambience is cool and everything worked well. The bed was a bit old, only thing that wasnt up to date.

The area is undergoing revitalization, with construction happening all around. Despite that, the property and staff were absolutely fantastic. We stayed in a two-level oceanview unit, which was incredible. While the A/C was only available in the bedrooms—something my wife found inconvenient—I enjoyed the natural ocean breeze throughout the rest of the space. The full kitchen was a great feature, making it easy to prepare meals. With just a few small upgrades, this unit could be a true showstopper. We loved the variety of dining options nearby, and the city center was just a short 10-15 minute walk away. Overall, it was a fantastic stay.

I love love the Scuba Lodge. Excellent location. The staff was very friendly and considerate. They surprised me with a bottle of wine for my birthday. I’m beyond grateful for their kindness. A extra special thank you to Delice. She’s very caring and compassionate about her work. An extra special thank you for what you have done for me. It’s the little things that counts a lot.

Beautiful property grounds. The hotel was small and quaint and the staff was so attentive. It is within walking distance to the floating bridge area where there are many bars, restaurants and shops. The on-site restaurant is excellent for all meals. Pools were perfect. It was our anniversary and the staff made extra efforts in our room to make it very special for us and it was so appreciated. There is construction noise at the moment due to a property being built directly next door. Not the fault of Scuba Lodge but it was very loud, very early every morning. Won’t last forever obviously but good to know. Ample parking for your rental car. Overall an excellent stay. We would stay here again.

Scuba Lodge was everything because of the staff! From the time I checked in, to the first welcome drink and throughout the week, the staff were the BEST! All of them made me feel welcome, safe, and well taken care of. The rooms were clean, spacious and beautiful. Housekeeping would come in every day and clean the room, thoroughly. The location was about 20 minutes from the airport and within walking distance of many cute restaurants. The restaurant at Scuba Lodge was delicious. The service was quick and everyone was so nice and accommodating. Right next door was another amazing little restaurant that served breakfast and lunch. The pastries they had available were out of this world.
The only recommendation I have for Scuba Lodge is to allow their staff to wear shorts. Jeans do not fit with the beach theme, they are hot and uncomfortable. I could not imagine having to work in such heat in jeans! The happiness of the staff is just as important as my happiness as a guest. These people are the reason I plan to return. They deserve any little perk they can be given. I was so sad to leave them but knew I would return! Scuba Lodge management, PLEASE take care of your top-tier staff because they represent your facilities perfectly. Thank you for a wonderful vacation and I will see you guys soon, hopefully in shorts!!!! :)

The room was quite nice and had good upkeep. The bathroom was large and clean. The only issue I had was the bathroom door was glass and took away a little bit from privacy. There were 2 pools that were nice although one was small. But it was secluded. Overall a great place in a super convenient location to downtown.

Mold in my room and smelled terrible. Left 3 days early for a medical emergency and they they would not refund. Food is not good and over priced. There is no beach front. I did try the massage and it was not relaxing or good. Overall experience is 2 out of 10

We were booked for 3 nights. Upon arrival we got to the front desk and right away the receptionist made us pay for the remaining two nights, the first one was already pre-paid. After paying we were told that our first two nights were not on their premises as they were fully booked, but in an hotel nearby. We would have to come back after two nights and checked in for our last night.
The receptionist took us to the hotel nearby, we were put in a very small room barely 12 sqm with no window. We were in shock as this was not what we paid for. Five minutes later I went back to the scuba lodge front desk to complain but it was already closed.
So we had no choice but to spend the night there. .
Back to our "closet room" I checked the room rate of where they put us and it was 100 dollars cheaper per night. Not only they put us in another property without telling or notifying us in advance, but they also tried to cheat us with a much cheaper night rate for what we paid for.
The next morning we went back to the front desk of scuba lodge and expressed our discontent.
We asked to speak with the manager and were told there were none on the property site.
We told the receptionist that we wanted the be reimbursed the difference in our two night rate and cancel our third night as we wanted nothing to do with scuba lodge anymore. No advanced notice, no apologies. They ruined our holiday.

Great location, pool and restaurant. Room was dated and mattress cleanliness was questionable. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Really convenient if you scuba dive, you get a discount on diving at their attached scuba facility.

We had an excellent time at the Scuba Lodge. We were there for four nights to explore Willemstad and we have to say that the location was perfect. We were able to walk everywhere
After a full day of sightseeing, coming back to the hotel to enjoy the infinity pool was very nice.
Our room included a well equipped kitchenette, a balcony and a large bathroom
The only thing that bothered us was the construction next door. Since our balcony was on the next door property, the noise from the site woke us up every morning. But this is no fault from the hotel.
We still had an amazing time and would return at the Scuba Lodge anytime!

The hotel is located in the vibrant Pietermaai district of Willemstad and looks like an actual dollhouse.
The staff is very warm and helpful.
I booked a city view superior room but because of a booking issue, I was given a standard room for the first night then I was moved into the two bedroom Ronde Klip suite to compensate for the booking issue.
The standard room was in the blue building above reception. It was very clean and well equipped but was pretty small. The room has a shared patio and it seems like this is the noisier side being above the reception and with guests using the shared patio (at some point, I had people sitting right outside my window which got a little awkward because I just got out of the shower and had to pretty much crawl to close the window shutters haha).
The Ronde Klip suite was on the second floor of the green building and it was amazing. It had a fully equipped kitchen (including a full size fridge with the an ice maker), the rooms were beautiful with super high ceilings and the large patio had shade in the afternoon so it was a great spot to hang out and enjoy the views of the city.
The grounds of the hotel are well maintained and beautiful. The main pool with ocean view was amazing. There was always room but shaded spots were sometimes not available in the afternoon. The second pool was nice too.
Overall, I would definitely stay at Scuba Lodge again!

I liked the historical character with modern conveniences including the infinity pool by the ocean.
Surprising lack of storage for clothes in our room.....as if it was planned for a couple of nights stay.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Scuba Lodge. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The restaurant was great and enjoyed all meals there. The Dive Center is located just a few store fronts over and the staff there was great as well. Hotel is right on the water with a small infinity pool looking out over the ocean as well as the restaurant . Would definitely return.

We had a cockroach in our room the first night. Very lazy house keeping staff. Had to continue to ask for items as they were not restocked. Pool and views were great.

We rented the 2 bedroom, 2 bath ocean view apartment (president suite). It is spacious, and you can see the ocean from the apartment. There's a huge wonderful patio, which is where we spent most of our time. Another plus about the property is its convenient location. We walked to many places. La Reina is a few doors down and has great iced coffee. St. Tropez and Bijblauw are both in walking distance and had good food (please try the omelets at Bijblauw). Many of the staff at the Scuba Lodge bar were kind, but Nadia, a college student, was the shining star. We happened upon the property manager, who was kind and asked how we were doing. Ok, the not so great...The bar/restaurant did not have American ketchup. We didn't know that the non-bedroom areas of the apartment are not air conditioned. (This could be an American expectation). And, the sitting area didn't have a ceiling fan. A couple times it was so hot that the sitting area was unusable! We socialized in our bedrooms, which do have air. Also, there is a tiny spiral staircase to the second bedroom. Be prepared to carry your suitcase up it. In fact, there's no elevator to the apartment so we humped it up another set of stairs to the apartment. The property is oceanfront but there is no beach for lounging. The property does not provide wash cloths (or face cloths) for bathing. (This could be another American expectation). Parking (on the street, no lot) in the eve was challenging but each time, eventually we found parking.

Overall, I had a great experience staying at Scuba Lodge. The customer service was immaculate. The only con I did have was the constant noise early in the morning that didn’t stop for hours do to renovations that were happening. The staff took care of any questions I had before my actual stay and had great communication. The room I stayed in was a standard room and honestly so cute. The area was perfect because there was so much to do just 10-15 minutes away. The queen Emma bridge was literally down the street just a 15 minute walk away along with many other cute restaurants and cafes/bars. I recommend a car to travel because taxis are expensive especially if you’re thinking about exploring the island. I absolutely recommend this place to stay and if you’re a solo traveler, curaçao is definitely an island you want to explore! Felt so safe and definitely stay around this area as it was so convenient to explore just using your own two feet. Scuba lodge and staff, we will see you again! Thank you for your hospitality.

I have had the best time at Scuba Lodge. From my check in process to the checkout process, everyone was very hospitable, welcoming, and eager to provide whatever service was needed.
Everyone at this property went out of their way to make sure my birthday was exceptional. Curacao is a must see island.
I am already planning my next trip. This is definitely a place of peace and is breathtaking. Definitely a must see.
Thank you to all of the staff..❤️❤️❤️

I give it 3.5 stars. I enjoyed my stay here and the staff is amazin. Unfortunately, the wifi was terrible. It barely worked in my room and then I lost complete service on my last two days only could use it outside my room.

The staff was great, very walkable, and the rooms were cleaned often. Parking is easy. If we circled around the block a couple of times we always got a spot in front of the hotel. Worst case you are a 1 min walk away to a parking lot.
We had a city-facing unit but took advantage of the spacious common areas for an ocean view. We often brought a drink or a home-cooked dinner to the man-made sandy beach area.
Easy recommendation!

The property was clean, nice beach view and friendly staff. The only problem I had was that it did not have electricity in the living room. The air conditioning was very cold at night even when you adjust the setting it still cold and no blankets available. Also on Thursday there was no electricity and the property does not have generator back up so it was hot, the restaurant was close due to lack of electricity. And I had great beach view but we can not used the beach we can only look at it because it’s not safe no one can use it.
4.0
This was overall, a wonderful stay. The property is a little away from where google maps brought us but it was close enough. There was no parking, it's all street but we never really had trouble finding a convenient spot. It just seemed a little misleading that the listing said "parking included." All the staff we came into contact with was very nice and friendly. My only gripe with the property is that major construction was being done right next to our unit and the work started early in the AM and ended at or around 3 PM every day. It was quite noisy and some days even very dusty. We really needed this vacation so we still found ways to enjoy the quiet that we did get after the work was over each day. However, it would have been nice for the hotel to apologize or even acknowledge that this was a pretty upsetting set of circumstances for us. The view when a construction vehicle was not present was unbeatable and we ate at the restaurant downstairs more than we planned, first because it is always open unlike most places in the area and two because it was so convenient.
