“Looking forwarding to returning”
Food, Service and cleanless were excellent. The beach was enjoyable but some spots were rocky, you will need reef shoes. Snokeling was quite good outside the lagoon.
“Returning to upgrades”
This was our second time staying with the god folks at Lion's Dive. Since our last stay (which was acceptable on all accounts) the resort has tripled in size, and upgraded the older rooms. The service was great and staff helpful. Food at Nemo's was expensive, but worth the price, easily ranking among our best restaurant experiences on the island. I would recommend, if possible, requesting rooms away from the front desk, as EVERYONE checking in and out rolls their luggage to their rooms, and the pool area tends to be a little noisy. The dive operation was also superlative. Boats were large, well equipped and the staff experienced. I might suggest diving sites further away from the resort for variety, as most of the dive we did were in very close proximity from the resort and very similar to each other. Overall I highly recommend, and in my opinion, can't be beat for the price
“Gets better every year”
This trip stayed at the new apartments and loved it. Spacious, excellent views, every detail was considered when they designed this expansion. The infinity pool is nice, the shallow kids pool nearby good for parents to keep an eye out, the open-wall design outstanding. Made a big difference in our enjoyment this trip and felt more like home than hotel.
“Great for divers and family!”
Great resort. Clean and the staff is very friendly. The pool by the apartments is great. The beach is awesome. We went diving and snorkeling and the Sea Aquarium with the Dolphin Academy is great fun for the family. Definitely a dream vacation.
“Lions Dive- an excellent choice”
One of the nicest hotels we've stayed at in over 40 countries. The front desk could not have been more accommodating- getting us to our room at 9am instead of the typical 3pm checkin. The hotel was spotless, the beach pristine, and the dive shop operation top notch and very, very professional. While we hadn't planned on returning to Curacao, our experience at Lions Dive has changed our mind and we look forward to a longer stay next time. The given rating of 3 1/2 stars seems too conservative- it deserves 4. Highly recommended.
“Romantic Wedding on the Beach!”
My finace and I got married on the beach at sunset at this hotel in October and the enitre event was absolutely lovely. The hotel staff, manager Kurt, bartender Yves, F&B Ast. Manger Julliet and all of the other workers were pleasant, charming and overly courteous. It made our wedding an absolute joy. The hotel was under construction while we were there, so we can't wait to get back to see the finished product. Would recommend to anyone seeking nice beach, great resturant, friendly staff, and peace and quite.
“Lions Dive Resort”
Stayed at Lions Dive with my family for 6 nights. We were Very satisfied with the hotel and also the location right next to Ocean Encounters dive center and the SeaAquarium. Food in the restaurants was good and service ok. The SeaAquarium was highly appreciated by the kids and the entrance was free for hotel guests. The fitness center next to the hotel was of high standard and also free of charge, eventhough I never used it...
“nice place”
This was a very nice hotel. You need to make sure that you stay in the updated main campus of the hotel. You need to be right on the beach. the resort is extensive and there are newer updated rooms that are much nicer than the old.
“Fairly good”
Fairly good hotel, nice beach. Quite a small pool.
“Solid Hotel”
We stayed at the Lion's Dive in June (4 adults and 1 toddler) in one of their 2-bedroom apartments, which was just perfect for us. Our toddler had a BLAST between the beach, kiddie pool, and the seaquarium next door. Food is ok. Great for kids, but maybe not so luxurious for couples. Husband did alot of diving which was perfect for him.
