Marie Pampoen Hotels, Willemstad

"Very clean and nice hotel. Very conveniently located, very friendly staff "

"I would rate our stay at this property as good overall. Our room was very nice and directly faced the Caribbean. Food was excellent and staff very friendly and accommodating. However we did experience some problems. Checkin was supposed to be at 4 but they didn’t have our room ready until 5:30. Then when we went to our room someone else was already in it. The resort comped us a spending voucher for this but it was not a great start after traveling all day. Other issues were with tv remote that didn’t work properly even after we complained and lack of wash cloths after the first day. "

"Great ocean view. Very chic hotel, excellent service and amenities."

"We absolutely loved our stay at Kontiki Beach Resort. The rooms are beautiful and our view was fantastic. We especially loved the little private plunge pool on the deck — it made the stay feel extra special. The beach area is very lively with great restaurants, beach clubs, and plenty of shopping nearby, so there is always something to do. Just be prepared for loud music on Wednesday nights due to the beach club events, but aside from that it was a wonderful stay and we would definitely come back."

"We had a wonderful stay at Avila Beach Hotel. The beach is beautiful and very relaxing, the rooms are comfortable and well maintained, and the buffet breakfast was excellent with plenty of options. The overall atmosphere is peaceful and perfect for a Caribbean getaway. We would definitely return. "

"We recently stayed here for a family vacation and unfortunately the experience didn’t quite meet our expectations. One of the biggest issues was the very loud nightly music, which made it difficult for our kids to sleep. After quite a bit of back and forth with management we were eventually moved to another room, which we appreciated, but the process was a hassle. The dining system was also frustrating. Having to stand in line between 10am–4pm just to reserve dinner for the next night felt inconvenient for an all-inclusive resort. We also found the food to be average overall at best. Our son has food allergies, which made dining stressful. At the buffet there wasn’t clear ingredient information, and even at the restaurants it was difficult to get clear answers about ingredients. Service at dinner was also extremely slow, which made the experience even more challenging with kids. Overall, many parts of the resort, including lounge chairs and common areas felt quite dated, and most staff interactions felt somewhat unfriendly until the last couple days of our stay when we did meet a few helpful staff members. Curaçao itself is so beautiful, but the resort experience fell short of what we were hoping. "

"yes yes yes beautiful"

"Don’t expect a relaxing getaway—with construction pounding next door the pool area is not a relaxing destination. There is kids screaming and running around in the evenings as well as playing in the pool area. Getting your room cleaned daily requires extra stops into the reception area to make sure you weren’t missed. They had to spray my room for tons of mosquitos and other bugs due to the plastic being cracked over the windows. Expect extreme island time for service at the hotel bars and restaurants. The highlight was definitely the massage vendor that came in as an outside service. Amazing views but would definitely not stay here again. "

"Incredible place if you want to stay in the heart of Willemstad. Rooftop pool was never used during the day, so it felt like I had a private rooftop pool, deck and area. Friendly staff and local to everything."
