L Aldea Rainforest Mystery Tours and Activities

We had a great vacation in Curaçao, but Coral Estates fell short of expectations. Despite being marketed as a luxury resort, the experience in the suites was underwhelming at best. Cleanliness was a major concern. After requesting an upgrade, which the staff was clearly reluctant to accommodate, we were moved to a pool view room. While it was brighter and more spacious, it still had serious issues—most notably, large cockroaches inside the room and a visibly dirty toilet. That is completely unacceptable in any accommodation, let alone one advertised as upscale. Housekeeping appeared rushed and inattentive, and the overall condition of the suite didn’t reflect the price point or the “luxury” branding. Thankfully, Expedia stepped in and helped rectify the situation to our satisfaction. Maybe the villas offer a better experience, but I would not recommend the suites to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, or truly relaxing stay.

The resort was beautiful & located in a great spot on the island. Villa was clean & equipped with everything we needed. *Kitchen had plates, utensils, cooking supplies & even tupperware. *Dishwasher was helpful to throw everything in at the end of the day & wake up to clean dishes. *Bedrooms are wonderfully air-conditioned and comfortable! *No issues w/ noisy neighbors & plenty of parking. *Description said '1 bathroom,' but the villa had 2 full bathrooms *Fresh towels provided daily, or you could indicate using your towels more than 1 day. *Pools were great! We spent most of our time at the beaches. Papagayo's beach was a little confusing to figure out b/c each beach section is right next to the other. Cabanas are $69/pp according to 1 person. Someone else said they paid $100 for a cabana...? The beach chairs are free and worked fine for us. *Papagayo's section is a little farther from the restaurants which was ok. It was quieter and away from the DJ and crowds by the other restaurants. *Pool towels can be exchanged at the reception or @ the towel hut at the beach. *Grocery store nearby helped with buying essentials and snacks. *We drank the water straight from the sink & had no issues. *No restaurant on the resort property but plenty w/in walking distance by the beach. *Wraparound porch was lovely to relax on each night *Warning, there are def bugs both flying & crawling around the villa. It did not bother us but just a heads up. Everyone was so friendly!!
