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

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly and kind."

Saint Tropez Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 5nights and it was great. The view from the hotel period is beautiful you don’t need a ocean front room, we had room 33 lol and it had 3 other rooms on our side with a big balcony it was close to the beach pool bar everything. It’s a great location close to everything! They have hookah at the hotel as well it’s $60. Just book it, it’s lit, people from the cruise ship stop by that bar and for the view so it gets lit! Very safe! Walkable to everywhere"

Art Hotel Curacao - Luxury Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"An oasis of calm and beauty. My “partial ocean view” room had a perfectly framed view of the pool and beach. This came in quite handy during the Curaçao-Germany World Cup watch party, when they put up a massive TV screen. A sea of patriotic Curaçao blue, then of Nederlands orange. Delicious food, with many options nearby. Staff are all very kind and helpful, with plenty of recommendations for what to see, do, and eat. Will absolutely return as soon as I can!"

The Ritz Village Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed at The Ritz Village for 7 days in their advertised Penthouse Suite. However don’t be fooled by the word Penthouse lol. The room was small very small but the view was Penthouse worthy. They are very stingy with towels and they don’t give you wash clothes so bring your own. I always travel with my own personal items. The service was great, the food just ok but it is in a prime location. If you wanted to you could walk to the mambo attractions. Great stay!"

Avila Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I stayed for 3 nights in mid June. First, compared to other resorts that are within walking distance of downtown. Avila has the best private beach. There are plenty of beach chairs and palapas. The outside areas are well maintained. The staff was friendly. On that topic, it does take some time to get used to “island time” some cultures (especially American) might perceive the bar service as slow or inattentive, but others perceive it as laid back. The beach bar (Schooner Bar) was very laid back as a beach bar should be. Clyde was great and very attuned to the guests. We ate at Blues Caribbean Kitchen twice. The food was very good, but the portions are on the small side. I had the best coconut ceviche I have ever had, but it was served with only 3 plantain chips. The service at Blues was very friendly. The manager on duty checked on us and was delightful. I love to snorkel and I was able to find a few areas just outside the jetty with some solid coral and plenty of tropical fish. Our room was clean with a modern aesthetic and a very firm comfortable bed. Overall our stay was very enjoyable and I would visit again."
