The resort is in a beautiful location. The beach area was wonderful as were the pools. I also appreciated the shuttle to downtown as well as the grocery store. Overall we had a good experience, however I didn’t appreciate frequent calls from the staff if we had the door open to the patio and the reception was not as warm and helpful as other resorts we have visited.

It was a really nice resort it had a private beach. The water was so clear you can see the fishes. The room was very spacious. There was a hot tub and 2 pools. The hotel was very close to other beaches in the area. Mambo Beach was like 10 -15 mins walking. And there are restaurants and other resorts near by. They have an aquarium too.

The resort is located on a gorgeous piece of land connected to the mainland by a bridge, with access to a beautiful white sand private beach on a narrow straight of turquoise water sheltered from the waves of the open ocean. Our room was perfect, with a walkout patio leading to the pools and the ocean horizon as a backdrop. The faculty were friendly, very helpful and attentive. The food at the nearby restaurants was delicious with more great service. Absolutely pristine location, loved every second we had there!

Excellent location as it sits on the Caribbean but has a lagoon in the back of the property that is perfect for snorkeling. Across the lagoon from resort is Mambo beach which has a 2 floored mall with lots of shops and restaurants. All within walking distance!!

Our children loved the pools and beach. Snorkeling was great just at our lagoon. Most of the staff was friendly. They helped with ordering taxis and when we needed an extra blanket. The pool bar was nice to have and the restaurant next door is excellent! We ate there several times. Close to mambo beach and many other restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay again.

Our stay in Curaçao was absolutely incredible. We stayed here for our babymoon. The room was spacious and beautifully set up with a full living room and kitchen stocked with every accessory we needed during our stay. The location of the hotel was perfect, with a private beach just steps away and stunning sunset views from our room every single night. We also loved that the hotel provided complimentary snorkel gear and swimming accessories, which made relaxing by the water even more enjoyable. Free parking for our rental car was another huge plus. The staff was extremely friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything we needed. The on-site restaurant was delicious and quickly became one of our favorite spots. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Curaçao!

Kelly was not too hospitable and all the other Front Desk staff was great! She seemed as if she wasn’t happy to be there. We come on vacation to see cheerful, happy things, but I didn’t get that energy from her. Made it a gloom hoping she wasn’t at the desk when I went in for a question. The Resort is located in a centralized location, close to everything. Casino, Mambo Beach, Downtown, Restaurants, etc. I have to come back and have a redo.

Beautiful property that’s clearly well cared for—everything felt clean, fresh, and inviting from the moment we arrived. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile or a quick assist. The snorkeling was a highlight—crystal-clear water and plenty to see just steps away. Having the pools, hot tub, and ocean all in one place made it easy to relax or switch things up throughout the day without going far. Location is another big win—it’s an easy walk to a great mix of shops and restaurants, so you can explore without needing to plan much. Overall, a seamless, relaxing stay with just the right balance of convenience and beauty.
