Just Great vacation. Both the villa and Beach area

We loved our Villa! It had everything we needed for our family of 4. This property is located next to plenty of bars and restaurants and an easy drive to Willemstad. I don’t love to repeat vacation spots, but we might need to do this one again.

People were very accommodating and were patient with us. resort was very clean and very beautiful

Amazing staff at the Breakfast area, very attentive and always willing to assist. Many options available for breakfast, good location and lovely view from our villa. Great experience overall, will definitely go back!

Outdoor was nice. Gated property, manicured well. Inside was old dated and poorly furnished. Supplies were low and had request for soap and shampoo daily. Beach towels needed to exchange daily. Access to the beach was good. Restaurants and shopping was good. Easy access and parking by car. Just to wish the inside was furnished to meet a four star upscale residence. It was to 2-star at best.

It used to be a nice hotel villa but not anymore unfortunately.Lot of changes happened that I don’t want to mention.

The staff was fantastic, specially the girls that work in the check in and the villa was spacious and comfortable. The only downside was the fact that there wasn’t air conditioning in the living room and the villa with ocean view wasn’t that close to the beach(around 10 minutes walking) The location is fantastic , because there is a supermarket in the papagayo complex and there are fancy beach clubs around , including Papagayo beach Club

Little town around Papagayo, walkable distance and beautiful views, clean area, nice beaches and people are so friendly

The location in Jan Thiel was great. We could walk across the street to the beach or Beach Club, as well as multiple restaurants. The villa itself was underwhelming. It seemed old and a little dirty, the doors didn’t work well so one of the bathroom doors kept slamming in the wind - I had to put a towel under it to keep it from slamming and waking me up. It was really nice to open the doors to see the ocean view but there was no AC in the living spaces which made it a little uncomfortable at times. It would’ve been nice to have the option of turning it on at some point. Overall, it was ok. Good location, villa wasn’t great. Won’t go back.

The resort is beautiful, and the villas are great. A little too big for just a couple, but it had a well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and clean bathroom. Special thanks to Kimberly, who made our check-in early, fun and smooth. Our only complaint was that re-fills of coffee were with additional charge (You'd think that a resort this price would re-fill coffee for free).

We loved the porch area around the cabana. On site restaurant was very good. Staff was excellent and friendly. Swimming pool was a disappointment….cloudy and algae filled….not safe to swim in.

The two bedroom ocean view villa we booked is not anything like it shows on the website. So disappointing that we went to another resort.

Bad service

This is my favorite resort and my go to place to stay when visiting my family. The staff go above & beyond to make sure that your stay is as perfect as possible. My favorite part? The birds & lizards! Put a big bowl of water out and just watch what happens. The Specialty Restaurant is closed for renovations but the restaurants at the beach are equally as good. Already booked my 2022 villa!!

This is my second time staying in the villas at Papagayo. As always, it was an excellent stay. It is wonderful to have the privacy afforded by the villas, as well as being able to make your own food in the full kitchen. The one thing I would say could be improved was the mattresses on the beds felt like they could probably be replaced, they were not the most comfortable. But other than that it was, as always, a great experience.

We recently stayed at Papagayo resort (the villas, not the hotel) for the second time. It is a lovely, well-maintained property, a short walk to Jan Thiel beach and a small supermarket. If youre looking for a place to relax where you can hang out on a private patio and enjoy the island breezes, this is great!

We had come to Papagayo Resort one day for the beach and found it to be quite nice, so when I booked my second trip with girlfriends, we decided on a two bedroom villa at the resort. Unfortunately, I so wish we would have gone back to the place we stayed previously as the service, amenities and staff were not up to snuff. I would be giving them an even lower review, but the manager did eventually contact me during the stay and apologize and refund our resort fees.The resort pool and restaurant was under construction, but they still wanted to charge us an extra $360 for 2 people staying at the 2 bedroom villa. I kept asking - what does that additional charge include? $30/pp per day is a steep fee when all your amenities are actually under construction and not usable. One morning at 8AM a huge truck backed up into the yard and dumped sand for over 20 minutes, so loud it woke up everyone in the villa.When we arrived in the villa it was definitely more run-down than the pictures show, paint was chipping, the floor boards were scuffed. All the plugs were European - we called down to the front desk as the welcome packet did state that they had converters available for use - they were SO RUDE, they said, no, sorry they didnt have any and its 8PM so we couldnt find any anywhere. We ended up walking down to the Hotel to borrow some after three screaming matches with the rude concierge. Everyone just seems angry/annoyed that theyre working there and not polite at all.

Really liked the overall beach experience, the supermarket nearby, the fantastic fitness centre, the fun design of the villa with sliding doors and the security. Was so not impressed with the Mothers Day brunch. Did not like the mosquitoes either. Overall positive experience. Thank you!

The property has a nice Infiniti beach close by to the hotel and always large availability of The papagoya beach resort with the villas is extremely outdated. The room walls are dirty, the sheets had stains, and there were always numerous amounts of tiny ants in the kitchen.

Open living room concept is terrible. Birds fly in when any of the doors are open, ants all over the places, no AC in the living good and terribly uncomfortable furniture makes it impossible to spend any time there. The porch is reall nice and the showers were great.

Important for non-European / non-Dutch visitors: Contrary to the rest of Curacao: there are only "Dutch" electricity plugs available in the villas, and no adapters at the reception area. So if you want to be able to use your electronic devises and charge your phone, you have to bring your own adapters.

The property is across the street from the beach, we had an ocean view room and barely saw any ocean, mostly just cars driving by. Living room area has no air conditioning and shutters instead of windows in living room and bathrooms. Only air conditioning is in the bedrooms. Lots of mosquitos, flies, ants and bugs all over. We were bitten up big time, even though we used bug spray and tried to keep all windows/doors closed. The beds are very hard. Cleaning lady came in one morning while we were sleeping, opened the door and proceeded to clean with my kids in the living room watching TV, this was very odd. When my husband asked her to come back later, she disregarded and continued to clean. Beach chairs that belong to this hotel are only by the Infifinity pool. The others you have to pay for. I did not enjoy the accommodations.

Loved the open air walls and the huge wraparound porch

The resort is very different from the hotel. The property is big, near the beach, and has almost everything you need. The resort was simply appointed. It was not comfortable though as there is no AC in the living room and the mattress and pillow were both hard. The towels, both bath and beach, were very used and should be replaced. Housekeeping was stingy with the towels too. Reception was nice but slow, on island time. While the bungalows are nice for groups I would try a different place on my next visit.

Just returned from a week in a villa at Papagayo Beach Resort and can’t wait to go back. Our villa was very comfortable (it has a huge veranda to enjoy those island breezes) and the two-bedroom, two-bathroom and kitchen setup suited us me and my husband, and my senior-aged parents) perfectly. The cleaning staff are great, coming every day and mopping the floors every other day. The resort staff were helpful and friendly. Papagayo is close to a well-stocked Dutch supermarket, very handy for groceries, and the the resort is a short walk from the beach. There is also a sushi place (Kyoto) we enjoyed, beside the supermarket!

We had a villa that was supposed to be ocean view,(133) which was not!!! it was all behind other villas and could see only through the trees (see pictures) ... we could see that there bunch of others offered as ocean view that were supposed to be over a hill... all obstructed !! The stuff was rude, did understand well either English or Spanish, and just decided to ignore our requests. I wanted an ocean view for a romantic weekend, so I paid double the price of the garden view. The air condition was insufficient for any of the two rooms, and the rest of the areas simply dont have any, so no romantic weekend also because all was a single sauna.
