Family of 4 (8 & 10yo) First Visit to CuraƧao. Objective: Snorkel from the beach and enjoy some Relaxation. Great weather. No Sargassum seaweed. Awesome wildlife and amazing coral. My only complaint about our trip is the lack of information available online. This pertains to the island as a whole and more specifically: dining options. We do plan to return. I didnā€™t realize the kitchen was so accommodating and I plan to pick up coffee and breakfast items prior to arrival on our next visit. We did buy reef-friendly sunscreen at the supermarket and bottled water however the tap water is absolutely fine. The restaurant next door is fine for a few meals and we will definitely go back. Mambo beach is a short walk; just stay near the water and pass by a few boats to get there. Unfortunately on the last day of our visit, my son hurt his knee and was unable to fully extend it. The Front Desk was super helpful and arranged for a doctor to visit to examine him. This saved us a lot of time and worry. My daughter and I salvaged the day and snorkeled from the beach at the resort, across the small channel and behind the rocks that surround Mambo Beach. It was amazing. We also really enjoyed Tugboat beach for snorkeling and Cas Abao beach for relaxation but we plan to return to revisit some areas and explore some new ones.

I like only snorkeling at the beach. Beach would benefit from more sand. Room was outdated, molds smell was very distinctive, coffee machine didnā€™t work properly. I requested a different room upon booking, when asked for a change of room upon checking in was told no rooms was available, hotel looked half empty during all our stay ( keep in mind this is timeshare property, which I didnā€™t know) so they only can give you thats available by timeshare owners. Housekeeping service very poor, rooms not clean properly, everything dirty and dusty. I had to clean everything myself. You have to chase then in the hallway to get toilet paper, towels, tissue. One day housekeep took the 2 rolls of toilet paper we had, so we were left with nothing. Bring your own soap and shampoo and body wash. You donā€™t get any. The worst was very loud music during weekend from nearby club, even with closed balcony and earplugs it was unbearable until midnight, whole room was shaking.

The hotel staffs and their services were excellent. However, the restaurant in the property was unfortunately terrible. My friend and I only ordered two appetizers and some drinks. Drink services are slow, and we waited for the appetizers more than 30 mins even though it wasnā€™t busy hourā€¦ It was the most poor service I have ever had in my whole life(BTW, Iā€™m early 50ā€™s).

We really missed the young man that made the smoothies by the pool last August! He was fun and entertaining. If we didnt know from last year, we would have had no idea what the girls were there for. They were doing each others hair and staring at their phones. Great time other than that!

We spent a week with our family. Super friendly and helpful staff. Resort was clean, quiet and safe. Beach and pool access was strictly limited to those staying at the resort. We rented a car, however most of the restaurants we frequented were within walking distance. Kids enjoyed the dolphin encounter right next door. Hope to return again soon!

I liked that this property had its own beach (more like a lagoon). It was close to Mambo Beach which had a few restaurants to dine it and a nice beach for bathing. Additionally, it was 15 drive away from down town and the Sea Aquarium was next to the hotel.

Wouldnā€™t stay here again!! The experience was not as expected and we didnā€™t feel very welcomed. My sister arrived before me and was asked by security if she ā€œbelonged hereā€. From the start they were slow to respond to email etc. if response received at all. Emails were sent several days in advance regarding transport from the airport and I was celebrating my birthday so I inquired about birthday packages for arrival. Emails were either not answered or very last minute. After several attempts at contacting them to set this up Chris contacted me the day before arrival and stated this is last minute. Provide 2 balloons , some chocolate which was nice however the treatment we received once we arrived was not up to standard. My sis had to call them when she was at the airport were given a room in the back of the hotel which was not fully booked. The customer service was very matter of fact when trying to convey needs etc. Shane the trainee told another employee donā€™t ask her for help when we asked for information. The staff was very condescending. Which made us not want to voice concerns. The bath tub along with the shower curtain was dirty. We felt like they were prejudice against us. Nyaisa was the only staff that was really genuine with assistance. Chris remarked and questioned if we ever been out the country (US) inferred that island time is different. Meanwhile we are world wide travelers. We had charges that were not accurate upon check out that we had to dispute.

Watch when you book this property. We booked a "suite" but got a hotel room. Based on the photos we chose, we were supposed to get a kitchen, a living room and a large balcony/patio, but we got a plain hotel suite with a TINY balcony. We had to upgrade to get what we had reserved, a bait and switch type situation. With that said, it's a great place to stay with a private beach and security on their own private island. Snorkeling was ok right at the beach. Not a lot of fish, but a lot of different fish to see. We could watch the dolphins in the aquarium next door from our patio, and my wife was happy to see that they let them out to swim freely in the ocean for exercise!!!
