The area was very nice. It was close to Jan Thiel Beach where you can find many dining options, and far enough you won't hear the partying of drunk kids. There's a convenience store Van De Tweel nearby. The frontdesk people were great, they work hard (they need a raise) but I never received the expedia VIP access but the apartment I stayed was great although I have to wait for there check in time at 4pm, 4 hours of waiting coz they don't do early check-ins. Rooms are newly renovated and the housekeeping was thoughtful, they brought me a hanging rack after seeing me drying my suits on the table. I had a problem asking for hot water at the cafe, it took the girl 10 mins before recognizing me while she was messing up the lattes so many times, clearly she needs some training and maybe a nicer attitude. And the Jan Thiel Dive Shop is located outside the property and that's a plus. I'd stay here again.

Staff was beyond welcoming. There is a little supermarket outside near the beach and has all essentials. You will need an outlet converter!

The only thing I like about this hotel is that it's close to the beach. The hotel room I stayed in was outdated. We were supposedly VIP access (paid for) but no VIP service was given. They give you a free bottle of water in the room when you check in however never replenish. There are no phones in the room so if you need the front desk you have to walk to it...they give you a whatsapp number to call or write but they never respond and leave you on read. Parking is terrible so you have to drive around the property to look for parking. Lastly there is no concierge service so you have to lug your luggage around yourself up the hill looking for your room. I saw an older couple walking around trying to find their room and were lost. I felt bad as they were older and the gentleman had a leg issue because I saw he was limping...they clearly needed help. So I offered to help them find their room. This hotel is old and lacks service I would never recommend or stay here again.

The property was close to the beach. There were dining options close by. Staff in general were very helpful. The restaurant was okay. Cleaning was hit and miss. One day no cleaning because of a shortage of staff. A local shuttle would have been nice to have.

Good hotel in a great location. About 5 minute walk to Jan Thiel Beach. Lots of dining nearby. Resort is well maintained. Rooms are fine, nothing to write home about. I will say that our room smelled intensely of lemon grass cleanser, it was very very strong. Also a lizard was in the room, but I was told this was normal when I asked reception for help getting it out. I know this is the Caribbean but I was quite surprised by the amount of lizards and chameleons I saw on the property. For me this was a bit… uncomfortable. Anyway, the pool area is quite nice and the hotel has a restaurant that stays open late. Overall I would recommend anyone to stay here mainly because of the location. If you are not a sensitive to strong smells and not afraid of reptiles than you will have an excellent stay, if you are than consider staying just a few nights.

Pool was not swimable because of all the debris in it. Restaurant staff was 1 person who watched us as we sat for 1/2 hour then came and told us they weee closed and would reopen later. Not sure when though?!?

The villa we stayed in was very spacious with ensuite bathrooms which accommodated our group quite well. Only thing is there was a funny smell on the date of check in and many of the facilities were a bit dated (cracks on the wall, porch furniture dirty etc). However, the surroundings seemed upkept on a regular basis. We were also able to park right infront the villa which was excellent. The staff at breakfast and the front desk were also very pleasant and welcoming. Cons: The breakfast was pretty much the same daily with absolutely no variety for non meat eaters. There weren't enough lounge chairs/cabanas for all guests to relax at the pool. There was no phone in the villa to contact the front desk so we had to use our personal phone or walk to the area to get service. The cost for laundry was high and the facilities unsavoury as you had to wash in the housekeeping area which was not set up properly for use by guests. It was a big displeasure for me. Nonetheless it was a good stay!

Recycling and sorting of trash is not done in Curaçao. So it is not the resorts fault, but something should be done. We loved everything about the resort. We asked if we could rent long term. Perfect.

I didn’t like the room we were in for 2 reasons. 1st the toilet is down the hall which is ok but you cannot put toilet paper in the toilet, it was very small and there’s no place or hooks to put a towel on after you wash your hands. We had to buy our own hand wash for the toilet area, the sink was so small you had to put the soap on the toilet bowl cover. The 2nd issue was, we were right beside the supply cleaning area. So it was extremely noisy when the staff we’re getting their supplies to clean the rooms. I was trying to do a yoga class and they had the music blaring. However they’re very nice and friendly people.

The pool area is nice. Half of the women working there are not the friendliest but it can be a cultural thing. This is the stingiest hotel/resort I have ever stayed at. They provide no complimentary items like coffee, tea, shampoo/conditioner….NOTHING. And then when I asked them why not, they said b/c it’s a resort smh. You can only get one pool towel a day. I’ve been to plenty eco friend hotels. This place is just stingy
