There were a few minor issues, but these were addressed by Diana (villa manager) quickly. Outdoor area offered plenty of seating in the shade, and the pool was refreshing after a hot day. The living room, kitchen, bedrooms, and baths were well-equipped and very comfortable. I heartily recommend Grandi Bista to anyone! ##### Emily S. Stayed 14 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 5, 2018 #### Great views, nice breeze, convenient and secure location. We enjoyed our stay here. The views were great and the breeze was welcome; we were able to sleep with windows open saving on the cost of AC. The pool was refreshing and the access to the ocean without having to travel to a beach was fun and convenient. Our concierge, Monique, was helpful and available when needed. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 12 nights in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey T.

This property was clean, cozy, and had plenty of room to hang out and enjoy the view of the ocean from the deck and pool and a view of the valley below from the back of the house!! I would recommend this property to anyone who wants to be away from the busyness of town and enjoy a quieter area living amongst the locals. ##### Jeffrey T.

This place is even better than the pictures and listing. It was a great set up for our family.Perfect location to be able to explore the island and then have a beautiful end to your night on the patio. We had additional family that stayed just up the road and we all were able to gather here comfortably at the end of the day for a swim, drink and games together. Highly recommend this house. Best of both worlds with the valley on one side of you and beautiful ocean view on the other.. ##### Mandy L. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Trudy F.

It is the first time I have rented a VRBO where we had to supply our own toilet paper and there were no cleaning supplies that we could find. ##### Trudy F.

Jan 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Great Escape Villa Grandi Bista is a great space for escaping the New England winter and relaxing in the Carribean. It was a clean with very open and comfortable common areas for stretching out. The kitchen was setup nicely and met our cooking needs. The master bedroom/bath was spacious, the other two bedrooms on the upper floor were small in comparison. We loved lounging under the palapa and cooling off in the deep pool. Communication with the property manager and owner was pleasant. A PSA for those interested in possibly walking to Cas Abou beach (not Cas Abou Resort's beach) - we tried to and found the trail was overgrown and culminated in a steep coral rock descent to the beach. ##### Jeffrey & Holly L.

Sep 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Vacation Homebase Our group of 5 had a wonderful time here at Villa Grandi Bista. The all around views are as good as you can get and the breeze through and around the house keeps it feeling comfortable all day long. Monique the host is great and very helpful from when we first arrived to any questions we had while we were there. We mostly drove to local beaches each morning and would come back in the afternoon to relax and recharge at the pool. We even cancelled dinner plans a couple of times so we could stay around the house in the evenings and enjoy the space. If you need the extra push - STAY AT VILLA GRANDI BISTA!! ##### Zack J.

Jan 2, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Almost Paradise We were a group of 5 and stayed at Villa Grandi Bista from Christmas to New Year’s Day - and it was so difficult to leave! This property is amazing - the pictures don’t do it justice. Monique was very attentive to our needs and full of suggestions for our first ever visit to Curacao. The neighborhood is very peaceful with amazing views all around. We could see fireworks on New Years from all over the island! We plan to come back to do some of the things we weren’t able to do on this trip - and we wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else. I can’t recommend this property enough. ##### Carmen V.

Sep 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved the rental, clean, well equipped, pool perfect This rental had everything we needed, was modern with an American style kitchen and fast wifi. Plenty of room to spread out, comfy furniture, all good. Pics of the rental are true. Awesome views, privacy, iguanas and birds fun to watch. It was unusually hot while we were there(both national parks closed due to dangerous heat) and the AC in the 3 bedrooms was not designed to cool the main living areas so be aware that it can be very hot depending. Good fans, though, and the pool was deep, big, clean and cooling. Monique helped us get to the rental; best to arrive during daylight. She was also helpful throughout. This location is close to the 3 snorkeling areas I wanted to do along the NW coast. Perfect. For dining we were close to Daniel, Landhuis Klein Santa Martha and for pizza Tomatoes beach restaurant in Piscadero. Great rental and fun trip! ##### Susan S. Stayed 14 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sue H. Mar 16, 2019 #### Wonderful property in a terrific location Our family of 6 spent a week at this property, utilizing the main house upstairs (3 bedrooms) as well as the apartment downstairs. It was plenty of house for 6 people. The outdoor living space is lovely, with seating for at least 8 for dinner, a grill, a sitting and lounging area, and a refreshing pool, all offering a beautiful view of the Caribbean. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans, etc. The doors open up to allow the cooling winds to keep the house at a very comfortable temperature. Bedroom doors can be closed to utilize the more than adequate cooling units present in each room. Cas Abou is a quiet part of the island, and we found our rental car a necessity to visit various beaches and parks. Monique, our contact person for the house, was attentive and very pleasant. We had a great vacation and highly recommend this property. ##### Sue H. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ardeth H.

De ligging is perfect, bovenop de heuvel met prachtig uitzicht over de zee én het binnenland. Dag en nacht een verkoelend briesje. Het huis is prachtig ontworpen en verkeerd in optimale conditie. Het is bovendien voorzien van alle gemakken. Het zwembad is precies het juiste formaat en de palapa biedt meer dan genoeg ruimte om met vier volwassenen te relaxen op de comfortabele ligbedden. Cas Abou was al onze favoriete plek op het eiland, maar door Villa Grandi Bista is dat gevoel alleen maar sterker geworden. ##### Stan v.

The location is away from the downtown area, which meant trading proximity to restaurants and grocery stores for access to better beaches and fewer tourists.

Fijn huis met prachtig zeezicht. Van alle gemakken voorzien, goed onderhouden en in prima staat. Er staat altijd wind op het huis en dat geeft een heerlijke verkoeling. De houten louvres zijn recentelijk vervangen door nieuwe stalen louvres, komt het geluid zeker ten goede. Ideale plek om tot rust te komen, heerlijk zwembad en fantastisch uitzicht. Zeer fijn ontvangen door beheerder en ook communicatie met eigenaar was uitstekend. De beheerder runt een duikschool en organiseert kayaktours, waar we allebei gebruik van gemaakt hebben - aanrader! Het eiland is op dit moment (augustus) Corona-vrij, we hopen dat dat zo blijft - de benodigde verplichte PCR test is een goed besluit van de lokale autoriteiten. Auto heb je zeker nodig, Willemstad ligt op 25min wat goed te doen is voor een avondje uit eten. Mooie stranden als Cas Abou en Porto Marie op 10-15 autominuten. ##### Gwenny v.

De master bedroom is ruim met een fijn bed. Badkamer idem. Op de bovenverdieping nog twee slaapkamers met eigen douche en toilet. Fijne grote keuken. Alles ziet er pico bello uit. Voor ons de ideale locatie. Stranden dichtbij, voor de boodschappen 25 minuten naar Willemstad. Ontvangst was vriendelijk en accuraat. Makkelijk contact via Whatsapp ter plaatse. ##### Hans v. Stayed 10 nights in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Rosalie O. May 22, 2019 #### Older property no longer alone The property now has other houses close by on both sides (so is not as isolated as shown in pics) and there is more building going on all over the estate. The views front and back are lovely and the pool is a great space to relax around. Unfortunately the old style shutter windows rattle constantly in the wind which was a real problem when trying to sleep (it was exceptionally windy the 2 weeks we were there). The main bedroom was large and roomy, however the other double and twin bedrooms were just ‘box’ rooms. Also the bedding was old and tired and the pillows smelt of stale sweat! All that said we did enjoy our stay and managed to work around all these problems. ##### Rosalie O. Stayed 14 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marco D. Mar 12, 2019 #### Very nice place with a very nice view! Nous avons bien apprécié cette maison avec une vue superbe! Très propre et bien équipée. Merci à Monique pour sa gentillesse et son efficacité. ##### Marco D. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Brenda T., Tucson AZ Feb 23, 2019 #### We enjoyed our vacation at Grande Bista The views, front and back, are wonderful. Inside, the house is exactly as shown, however, neither the photos nor the satellite shots showed how close the newly built neighboring house is. The development is gated and private but the very steep roads and local construction traffic caused intermittent road noise during the day. The driveway is “crazy steep” and our rental Jeep struggled to make it up with 4 of us. The proximity of the master bedroom to the neighbor’s parking area made for some early and late sleep disturbance. Esmee was very proactive in the booking process and Monique was a great help during our stay. The villa was spotless and well equipped. There is plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor furniture. Most of our time was spent on the deck watching ships and wildlife. The colorful tropical birds were spectacular and tame. Although there are plentiful books, they are all in Dutch and we could not find a bookshop on the Island – so bring your vacation reading with you. We were a party of 2 couples and we chose to use the master bedroom and the downstairs apartment giving us a lot of privacy and extra fridge space! The other 2 bedrooms are very small. The master was airy and the breeze made A/C unnecessary but the apartment bedroom got hot and the A/C was essential for sleep. Poor lighting is a problem particularly in the kitchen and on the deck making it difficult to prepare and serve food after dark. There is limited space for sunbathing around the pool and the pool is very deep with no shallow end. Grande Bista sits on a ridge and gets strong winds at the back but the seaward side, deck and pool are well sheltered. We enjoyed the “natural air conditioning” and the view at the back of the house on hot afternoons. One important point is that, despite being quoted in US Dollars, the rental fee was charged in Euros in Ireland. This caused a temporary problem with our credit card. Also, the renter is responsible for electricity and water charges (including running the pool).and this charge is deducted from the damage deposit. This seems to be normal in Curacao but adds an element of uncertainty to the final cost. The private beach mentioned has a steep, rough access and the beach is rocky but is a great place to go for a swim. It’s worth the 10 ANG to get onto the beaches Northwest of the house as they are normally quiet and are unspoiled (take your cool box (there are several at the villa), drinks and a picnic. ##### Brenda T.

The sunsets and sunrises were fantastic. My grand children loved the pool and we could just relax right there while they played. The breezes, which were constant, kept things pretty comfortable. While beaches are not all easy to get to, there was not a single place we went to that did not have a beautiful reef right off shore. If you don't go to the bigger popular beaches you usually have the reef all to yourself. The property manager Monique is a great assett. She was great with directions to grocery stores, activities, etc and a turn by turn direction to the house. She even got us all our tanks for our dives. That saved us a lot of bother. Thank you Monique. ##### Bryan D. Stayed 12 nights in Jan 2019
