Willemstad Resorts

Pros: Beautiful resort! You don’t like to leave it because it is just perfect to spend some days in the sun. Food was delicious and staff super friendly and supportive.

Cons: We booked the honeymoon suite but it was sadly located directly over the kitchen in which the staff started preparing the breakfast around 6 AM. So we sadly woke up multiple times from loud kitchen noises. They offered ear plugs but if you don’t like to use them like my husband who has tinnitus you should be aware of this fact. We can’t say anything about the noise in other rooms. The rest was just perfect and we would definitely recommend this resort.

Pros: The rooms are just extremely comfortable and nice, the staff is ever present and extremely helpful, the attention to details and the sheer beauty of the place. Hard to find a resort in Curacao possibly getting close to beat it.

Cons: Nothing at all

Pros: Everything was really good. Best place to stay in Curaçao.

Pros: Food options were amazing for all meals. Very relaxing secluded resort. Very little distraction.

Pros: The grounds are beautiful and the staff does a wonderful job with upkeep. Myrte, Michelle, and the chef were all wonderful. They helped make our stay nice.

Cons: We had a bad interaction with staff at lunch being rude about how I “must not be used to such high quality meat” when I said that the burger was not my preference. Additionally, one darling thing about the resort is that you get fruit each day in your room - two days of our five day stay we were not given fruit. Additionally, breakfast is free, which is awesome, but they forgot one item that we requested 3/5 days. Not a huge deal, but I expected more when we were paying $800+ per night for our honeymoon. We loved our stay, but aren’t sure it was worth the cost. They also didn’t do anything special for our honeymoon. We stayed at four hotels over the course of our honeymoon in Paris, Amsterdam, and Curacao and this was the only hotel that did not make a special gesture. The Lions Dive Resort in Curacao upgraded our room and gave us some Cava! It’s not as romantic, but it was a great resort with great staff.

Pros: Wide Comfortable and luxurious villas surrounding by mother nature. The gorgeous natural pool / lagoon is a differential. Staff could not be more effective and friendly. Food is excellent. Excellent choices on wine. I would certainly come back.

Cons: N/a

Pros: everything was just fine

Cons: Could be more local drinks to try

Pros: Incredible resort - very cozy and ideal for relaxation , sun and the beach

Cons: Being my 3rd this particular room didn’t have beach access and the pool was freezing so we didn’t use the outdoor patio much

Pros: Baoase is a pearl with its scenic beach, luxury facilities, and a staff that always walks an extra mile for you. There is no doubt that we will go back to Baoase when we get the chance, we loved it.

Pros: The Balinese ambiance was very relaxing. The staff was very attentive and accommodating. Private beach was staffed with butlers. The water was clear and had no rocks. The turn down survive was our favorite. The food at the restaurant was good as well. Best resort I've ever been to!

Pros: I came to celebrate my birthday for along weekend with 2 friends. Property is beautiful and rooms are nice (except for the bathroom issue noted). There were some mishaps relevant to plans my friend made to surprise me for my birthday. I will say the management worked very hard to address the issues that my friend brought to their attention, the staff was SUPER friendly and kind. I really liked them alot. The property is BEAUTIFUL. Truly and the beach is really close. If you like to party the location is perfect and its centrally located to lots of activities and action. The beach is BEAUTIFUL I mean truly beautiful. The massage I had on the beach was FANTASTIC. Definitely do that while you are there.

Cons: The breakfast buffet shut down at 10 am so we felt very rushed to get breakfast. The staff at breakfast was wonderful but they should probably extend breakfast to 10:30 am or 11 am especially on the weekend.There was a smell, pretty horrible, emanating from our bathroom throughout our stay. The hotel staff tried to address it and they aired the room out and it helped some but it smelled like spoiled cabbage. We had to keep the bathroom door open for the entire stay and open the doors when we were in the room to get some relief from it. If we closed the door then the bathroom smelled pretty bad. So going into the bathroom was not a pleasant experience. There were some mishaps with the arrangements my friend made to celebrate my birthday but the hotel staff worked hard to make it right and I appreciated that. I also experienced a lot of miscommunication around my check out. The day staff should communicate better with the evening and overnight staff. Didn't love the iguana that took up residence at the pool and once he jumped in I didn't want to use the pool because they carry alot of bacteria. Overall I had a pretty mixed experience at this property.

Pros: The hotel’s lush landscape provides for a lot of privacy. The beach is amazing; also loved the beach restaurant!

Cons: No issues

Pros: It is exactly as on the pictures, the rooms and facilities are extremely clean and the personnel very friendly. The location is perfect: right at the beach with the choice of 2 different beach facilities, and close to the center of Willemstad with many restaurants. The bar and food service is just exceptional. In short: your carribean dream come true! It’s a 4 star and a half hotel in my appreciation.

Cons: As described in many reviews there is music on the beach, even at night, but if you like to attend the beach parties, this is fine. Best is to ask for a room away from the beachfront if you don’t like that. For activities, best is to also use the internet to organize yourself since the staff is not always efficient. Just a minor inconvenience.

Pros: We stayed here on the second part of our honeymoon for 8 nights. The photos we had seen beforehand didn’t do it justice, it’s so beautiful. The room was spacious and the cleaning service was excellent. We had a huge veranda too for watching the sunset. We didn’t realize before we came that it’s located beside Mambo Beach so we were spoilt for choice with restaurants and bars and it meant we didn’t need to take taxis for dinner. Reception staff were helpful and pleasant. I can’t say enough about this place!

Cons: There is no gym at the property which we knew in advance but I would still prefer if there was one. The air con was a little difficult to use meaning it was sometimes very hot especially in the bathroom as the unit is located in the main bedroom. There is significant noise from the beach party nights but this didn’t bother us as we requested a room away from that side and also aren’t light sleepers.

Pros: Great rooms, beautiful beaches!

Cons: That we had to leave :(

Cons: the noise in the room the smell in the bathroom

Pros: Beach Service. Nothing was ever a problem for staff to assist with

Pros: The swimming pool is very beautiful, the service we got was good

Cons: Everything was good

Pros: Greenery in the resort

Cons: Bands were very loud and lasted long into the night

Pros: Paradise

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Excellent location and friendly staff

Pros: The hotel and beach were amazing. I cant wait to go back!

Cons: Due to Avianca airline we missed our connecting flights to Curacao and to Suriname the day after. Which forced us to go to Aruba instead. All this made we missed our hotel facility in Curacao and we were not able to cancel within the required period. However Avila hotel charged us the full payment of the hotel room not even used and was not even willing to give us a waiver, despite my writing and explanation. So that I am very disappointed in Avila hotel.

Pros: Good location and nice private beaches. Room was big and the bed was comfortable but the interior is looking a little tired and worn.

Cons: If you’re a vegetarian or a vegan and like to have healthy food you have very limited potoroos. Breakfast was over priced and not great.

Pros: Everything was really great, absolutely no complaints. We enjoyed the food and the staff members were very happy and polite. Would come back anytime.

Pros: Everything !!!! Facility was awesome! Staff was great!! Location was excellent!!

Pros: The buffet has everything you could want, the food is tasty and fresh and staff keep serving teas and coffees. the setting is lovely.

Cons: I think on some occasions they might have needed some more staff in the Schooner bar by the beach - at busy times, it could take a long time to get a drink even though the staff worked as fast as they could, but there were simply not enough of them.

Pros: This was the greatest possible vacation. We went for our anniversary/ 2nd honeymoon amd were simply delighted with the hotel and the island nation of Curaçao. A great room literally right on the Caribbean Ocean. Great staff and great food. So much fun - just rent a car at the hotel and explore all day.

Cons: No room service in middle of night

Pros: Location berfect. Private Queens beach was very nice. Staff extremely nice and helpful. A lot of restaurants and food variaties to choose from. Room service was best i have never seen!

Cons: Breakfast buffee quite boring after couple of days, but still good every day. Eggs and omelettes prepared and server as you like. Sometime staff at bar was out of focus, but i was thinking they were practising still (very young). Birds are agressive to steal food

Pros: Comfy bed and spacious bathroom

Cons: Hall area was noisy when other people were there

Pros: Clean rooms, location, helpful staff

Cons: The bathroom light couldn’t be turned off, the pool was too warm and the pool walls seemed to be dirty, could be fungus.

Pros: The front desk staff and the staff of the dive shop were very friendly and helpful. The cleaning was great and every day, including new towels.

Cons: The bar staff was not very welcoming. Breakfast and lunch were no good. Especially not the breakfast for 17,50 USD per person per day. "Fresh orange juice" was definently not fresh, but from a can.

Pros: Nice hotel/resort. Very good breakfast. Friendly staff and on site dive shop with also helpfull staff.

Cons: Prices for drinks and food were pretty expensive, and even went up during our stay.

Pros: Clean and convenient to the beach. Rooms are modern and very roomy. Great views

Pros: Pool and pool beds are ok, pool can use a little renovation. Diner wasn't that great, better to ride out and try one of the many restaurants.

Cons: Cleaning should be done better, not that it was dirty, but sometimes do a fresh up of the kitchen (doors were dirty) is not harmfull.

Pros: The location is really good, close to the beach. There’s also a store close. Staff is good. There was always going on in the night at the hotel, like live music or dancing class.

Cons: They never had hands towels and bath mat, just body towels. . Breakfast was ok, american style (egg, bacon, etc), there was bread but they should have more options.

Pros: Specious room, room was clean when we arrived, A/C and internet in room works well, most of staff was nice, nice pool, close to a small beach and some restaurants and shops, good diving in dive shop on premise

Cons: Dark room as it doesn’t have a window (only window in the bathroom and glass door), housekeeping didn’t change towels and never wiped surfaces in bathroom, no hair dryer, iron and iron board in room (have to get it from reception), the shaded, comfy loungers at pool were always busy with towels even if people were not there for hours, internet at pool and lobby area quite spotty

Pros: The Villa was nice. The beds were comfortable. Everything was fine. Had an Amazing Birthday.

Cons: Everything was fine.

Pros: The room was comfy and well appointed.

Cons: The dinner offerings were just ok.

Pros: Perfect stay

Cons: Everything was ok

Pros: Great location, private beach, & 5 minute walk from Mambo beach. -some service is good, some nice workers. -ice cream by the Italian restaurant during the day is the only thing I liked to eat from the entire resort.

Cons: -Ocean front room is literally on the ocean front. Price is way too high for that room considering the view is obstructed by beach chairs, the main pool, & a restaurant. -Room service never brought the correct food, something was always missing & it took forever -We switched rooms 3 times because of issues with our rooms. We had a leak in the ceiling & bugs in our room. -The food was absolutely awful. I literally had to force myself to eat it, just to get nutrients. I’m sorry but burgers, hot dogs, & chicken nuggets every day for lunch is not good food! We tried every restaurant & I wanted to throw up. The sides to dishes were mass produced and cold by the time you got it. The main dishes tasted under seasoned and nothing tasted good. The dessert was dry & they never had what was listed on their menu for desserts. We got cheese cake & the crust was hard. They used the same dry & old dessert that they had in the bakery. Who knows how long that food sits out & is served until it is inedible. -breakfast is buffets only. Most of the resort is food buffets. But breakfast sits out from 0700-11pm. I’m talking warm milk, warm fruit. The fruit even tastes old. I felt sick just trying to eat & get food into my body for the day. It felt awful. -Our mini bar/coffee was never restocked until 6-7 pm when we were trying to get ready for dinner. -People with orange towels that weren’t sun club members were using the sun club side of the beach & there was no accountability of checking who paid to use the sun club side of the beach & pool. -You can’t get room service unless you pay for a Sun Club membership but the room service is HAMBURGERS AND BAD FOOD!! You can’t get food from any of the restaurants as room service or to go. -Front desk called us late at night in the middle of our trip to pay for our room because booking.com didn’t charge us.

Pros: Our room was a "premium deluxe oceanfront" and therefore right on the beach. Loved that. Also, the property is beautiful, like something out of a movie. Can't beat the view. The staff was great. Very responsive and helpful if needed.

Cons: The pool area is very tired. It is a tiled pool and the tiles are cracking and have mold in the grout. It was still usable and totally fine, but it needs to be redone. There is a pool at the Sun Club (extra charge) end that looks like it has been updated, but no one uses it because it is far away. The swim up pool bar was hardly ever open while we were there. The wait time at that bar was always long, whether you were the only person ordering or not. Food was hit or miss. Also, only one small cafe is open 24 hours. All other restaurants close after service. The cafe only serves hot drinks and iced coffees and some pastries.

Pros: The beach is really nice.

Cons: The towels smelled like vinegar, the spirits are not good quality, the food wasn’t so good.

Pros: Bartenders were great and friendly. Staff were friendly and always said hello when we passed them. The beds are comfy, beach is beautiful, lots of tropical fish around.

Cons: The food was not great and the breakfast buffet was the only option for food in the morning. And it was the same food every day at the breakfast place. The buffet food in general was not good, whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The service at the bars were great but in the restaurants was horrible. Would take us 2 hours for just an appetizer and meal. The servers would just sit around and talk to each other. The restaurants never change their menus and I think they should have a "chef special" every night that changed just for something different for those of us who had a long stay, and ended up eating the same food every day. The liquor was watered down and not name brands. We drank and drank and drank and never felt a thing. I'm thinking they add water to the liquor bottles which is horrible. Our room was nice and the bed was comfy, the AC didn't work so great so our room was pretty warm the whole time. The beach was beautiful but it's very rocky near the shore so I recommend wearing water shoes. Oh and the swim up bar pool is pretty gross. We hung out there a couple times and our bathing suits would ring out yellow when we washed them. They need to do a better job at cleaning and filtering that pool water. As for snorkeling, they only allow you to rent gear for 1 hour per day because it's a separate company from the resort which is unfortunate, I should have brought my own gear.

Pros: Staffs were great! Always smiling, helpful, they were the highlight of the hotel. Big shout out to Dawn of the Bluewater Grill, to Ellie and his great spirit, what a wonderful personality, and to Val that was always available to help when needed. Beach was great. Hotel room always really clean, comfortable beds. Food was great. Entertainment was great too. Highly recommended!

Cons: We were not informed that the main buffet would be closed for renovation. Pool is outdated and needs some renovation. We went to ask about a later check-out and the hotel informed that they had hospitality rooms, we went in the evening as advised and they said that we should call in the morning, around 7am, we called and they informed to go to the reception at 9am, we went there at 9am and were informed that they did not have on that date. We would not mind to not have it, we just expected to be informed earlier.

Pros: The location was one of my favourite being on a beach and just walking distance from the sea aquarium and mambo beach. The staff are exceptional and the coco cafe is open 24/7. U can always get a sandwich or dessert or tea/hot chocolate. Complimentary downtown trip was definitely a plus.

Cons: The explorers club for younger children was a no parent zone so even if your child is the only child present at a particular time, you're not allowed to have some fun with them. Which is a pity because the play area is a pretty nice place for some father-son activities.

Pros: Beach area is nice. Location to Mambo beach is nice. Only good restaurant was the Japanese restaurant.

Cons: Food quality and cleanliness was poor. General buffet lacked choice, particularly for those of us who dont eat beef or pork, and could be way cleaner.....flies, flies and more flies. My wife found hair 3 times in her food (not hers) on three days from different areas in the resort. Our party of four all got sick from the food on the resort. Italian restaurant should be closed down...smells bad, and was the worst italian food we had. No premium bar available, and for bars that were open, there was only one bartender at a time, so service was very, very slow. Hotel is old and in need of general maintenance and upgrade. Construction ongoing near the main pool area (Sept 2019), so lots if jackhammering, drilling and pounding on what was supppsed to be a relaxing vacation. While I appreciate the need for better facilities, this should have been declared upfront in the booking process like other hotels do, so guests would know what they are signing up for....and even in the check-in, there was no acknowledgement or apology for it from the staff....it's like for them, it wasn't even there and guests should just ignore it. Sorry..I didnt come on vacation to hear jackhammering all day. We paid for an upgraded sea-view room, but basic amenities were missing from the room...no hairdryer, minibar only had soft drinks. Felt like a basic room experience. Wifi very unstable.....kept going and coming...made it difficult for those of us who had to work online. Hotel lobby and cafe area in need of some fans...extremely hot. Nightclub was an absolute dissapointment. Casino carpet needs cleaning. We requested to pay for a late checkout as we had a late flight, were denied, and then asked to complete a customer satisfaction survey.....seriously?? We asked to speak to the supervisor when we were checking out to provide some feedback...it looks like he read the survey responses we provided on the tablet and never came to see us.

Pros: Location, snorkeling, quiet beach

Cons: Up keep of room and property (vanity was falling apart, lamp shades extremely dirty, table at restaurants had hole in them), not enough beach chairs, food was not good, service not consistent, hard to get into restaurants, bar tenders didn't know how to make drinks on menu

Pros: Phantastic location on the beachside! Really helpful and friendly staff, despite wrong details for payment and yoga classes on booking.com!

Cons: The becah could be cleaned a bit more deeply

Pros: I was a little anxious about what to expect after reading so many recent negative reviews. However, our experience was wonderful. Our room was clean, with a great view of the beach. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The beach was clean and quiet and the water was clear. There were lots of activities to do throughout the day as well. The food and drinks were good as well. This was our first all-inclusive, so we don’t have much to compare it to, food-wise. However, we found a good variety, and I don’t eat meat (but do eat fish and there is plenty of that!) the restaurants get crowded, but a little planning prevented long waits. Additionally, if you do sun club, you can get room service, which was great for breakfast. I saw a review that said the drinks were weak- we did not find this to be true at all. Occasionally we tried some of the fruity mixed and frozen drinks and even those were strong. Overall, we had a great experience and highly recommend!

Cons: Though the restaurant menus indicated they had specials of the day, they never did. A more robust room service menu for lunch and dinner would have been nice.

Pros: The beach was gorgeous, a few rocks by the shore but once you're in the water, its amazing. The beds in the rooms were also comfortable.

Cons: The staff was generally overwhelmed and it is very apparent that they are short staffed and could benefit from hiring more people and training everyone on how to provide excellent customer service. The dining areas were hit or miss, in terms of the food choices and the service. The drinks were all sugary, no top shelf options at all. Don't waste your money at the spa, its overpriced and all they do is rub St. Ive's lotion. I kid you not, both my mom and aunt got different services done and they both said the same thing. My mom even paid extra to add the "hot stone" option to her massage...it was a complete waste and she felt even worse when she left than she did when she first went in. They place you in a dark room, on a squeaky bed...no dimmed lights, no scented oils or candles..nada. Save your money and skip the spa!

Pros: Nothing at all

Cons: No room service, horrible towels, dreadful pillows, old mattress, no water, no ac controller, ban tv remote, no shampoo, bad soap, no water pressure, not enough warm water, casino´s ac a joke!, etc. etc. etc.

Pros: The hotel had a great views and was within walking distance to some great restaurants. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons: This hotel is not on the beach side of the island.While the reception area is grand, the room that we had was old and not updated. There were very few amenities. There were only a few outlets in the room - no outlets in the bathroom. There were no wash cloths, no extra pillows; it was a very basic room. We were only in Curacao for one night so it was OK, but if we had stayed there any longer, we would have preferred a beach hotel on the other side of the island.

Pros: location was great, rooms were dated, but the rooms were large and clean

Cons: Some staff were not the quickest in the world...but hey, we were in the easy-going Carribean :)

Pros: Room is perfect,service is very good. The vieuw was very nice (swimmingpool).

Cons: The window from the room it can't open , for fresh air.

Pros: the location , the frontdesk staff and the food

Cons: The hotel is in a bad nead of renovation. The pool should not be open to guest untill it is repair. It is a shame to have guest swim in a pool like that.The floor is completely crack up.

Pros: The hotel has an excellent location, the rooms were spacious & the airconditioning was excellent. The views from the pool bar , which overlooks the harbour were stunning

Pros: it is close to the center (punda)

Pros: Above all its location which was idea. In general it was ok although "a little rough around the edges" (wtaer taps difficult to turn, somewhat worn furniture, etc.

Pros: city center was oke,

Cons: the hotel was little bite old

Pros: Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, always with a big smile

Cons: the bathroom should be refurnished. cleaning of room should be done more thoroughly and not limited to making up beds

Cons: no refrigarator on the room

Pros: Very Convinient!
