Top Santa Catharina Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Hotels & Resorts Livingstone Curacao

8/10 Good

"Overall, the hotel is in very good condition and we had a great stay. The breakfast was delicious, with a nice variety of options, and the front desk staff were always very friendly and attentive. The only thing to keep in mind is that we noticed some ants in the kitchen area of the room, so I would recommend being careful about leaving any food out. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again"

The Royal Sea Aquarium Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The Royal Sea Aquarium Resort has a very nice small protected beach with calm water. The restaurant is ok, we ate breakfast there every day because we had pre-paid for it. There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby to eat at as an alternative. The room was spacious and very clean. The pool area was beautiful but we did not use it with the beach right there. Definitely would stay again!"

Art Hotel Curacao - Luxury Adults Only

8/10 Good

"The Art Hotel was pretty awesome, clean, boutiquish, hotel in a great location and walking distance to many great restaurants and the downtown area. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful except for the Lemon Tree Restaurant. The food was above average, but the young attendants were not very attenative AT ALL !!! While they were very friendly they appeared to be overwhelmed, but I never felt there were that many people in the pool or restaurant area. Had to ask for drinks multiple times, barely checked on us and at the end unless you ask for the check you're not getting it. I thought this only happened at this particular restaurant, but noticed this at all the restaurants. Anyhow, I would definitely stay here again room was very cozy, balcony was large and please put handles on the outside of the sliding doors to the balcony's. Make sure to bring an adapter for the outlets if you're from the US."

The Ritz Village Hotel

8/10 Good

"The place was beautiful and very clean, the staff were decent. Little bit of a language barrier with some of the staff, overall was very friendly. Zia and kendrion at the hotel bar were amazing and treated us very well. Housekeeping came very early, asked if they could come in the afternoon one of them was impatient but other one that we got was very nice and understanding. For travel experience on the island was very smooth, hotel had an app for 24/7 drivers, where you could see the price of the drive. Very helpful. You are able to stick with one person for your whole trip which was amazing. Overall would recommend this place especially if want a kid free getaway"

Mangrove Beach Corendon Curacao All-Inclusive Resort, Curio by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Mangrove Corendon is truly a family oriented resort with lots to do. The resort is clean, well maintained and beautiful. The buffet was exceptional with a variety of food and drinks for everyone. The pool is clean is beautiful. There is live performances nightly that keeos the resort lively and engaging for visitors. There was aerobics, fish feeding and bracelt making for kids. We had a wonderful time and would love to return in the future."
