We had a generally nice stay at the hotel. The two-bedroom unit was spacious and well-stocked, but the view left much to be desired as it faced a neighboring building. While the beach was rough and the pool wasn't clean upon arrival, I felt safe and appreciated the close proximity to great restaurants. Renting a car is a must to access better beaches, but our experience was positive overall.

Our stay at this resort was absolutely magical! The beachfront location offered stunning views and easy access to the beach, perfect for relaxation. The spacious and clean accommodations felt like a home away from home. We truly appreciated the amenities and communication with the staff. However, the lack of daily housekeeping was a bit inconvenient, though we managed without it. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we can't wait to return for our next getaway!

Staying at this resort was an absolute dream! The beachfront location is unbeatable, providing immediate access to a stunning beach and fantastic snorkeling right at our doorstep. The condo we stayed in was immaculate and well-equipped, making our stay comfortable. While it was a bit inconvenient that we had to do our own laundry and wash towels, the overall experience was so relaxing that it hardly dampened our spirits. I would highly recommend this spot for anyone seeking tranquility and great amenities during their vacation.

Our stay in Curacao was absolutely wonderful! The beachfront property was perfect for relaxation, and the spacious accommodations had everything we needed. The location was private, and the snorkeling was fantastic right off the beach. However, we did encounter some issues with cleanliness and service that need addressing.

My stay had its ups and downs. While the location was nice and the unit felt like home, I encountered some significant issues that affected my overall experience. There were cleanliness concerns, and I had a frustrating experience with the service, which detracted from the enjoyment.

The unit was largely clean and spacious, but I did encounter some cleanliness issues like hair in the shower and popcorn on the floor from previous guests. It felt overall comfortable but less than ideal due to these issues.

The service was hit or miss. While I found some staff to be friendly, my interactions with Austin were quite frustrating, and my concerns about roaches and the fridge not working were not handled well.

The location is decent, but the scenic value might be misleading due to unexpected views of a barge from the patio. It is close to restaurants; however, be prepared to rent a car to access better beaches.

The facilities had potential, with a pool and nearby restaurants, but both the pool's cleanliness upon arrival and overall amenities seemed lackluster.
