We were very pleased with the location! It was right in the middle of everything. The room was good and the bed comfortable although a bit soft. We stayed 8 nights. Thursday through Saturday were quite noisy although, oddly enough, we had no issue sleeping. Noise stops at midnight. Staff was excellent. Would stay again.

Cleaning staff is wonderful. Concierge staff also wonderful - very helpful. The hotel is updated and modern although some small half ass work remodeling - still pretty good. The location is perfect. Walk everywhere or catch a tour or taxi right in front. It is loud due to the Cascada bar upstairs but that didn’t bother me. I joined the fun and went to sleep afterwards. My balcony room was great. 402. View of the ocean and the city. The reviews about the carpet were not accurate on my floor - 3. Carpets were clean and new. No worries about security. Most nights there was a security guard at the entrance. The door to the floors can only be accessed with room card Mar Y Tierra restaurant was great. I ate there a few times. There are plenty of options all over the place. Please walk around. Cross the Queen Emma Bridge. Google Maps will be useful. Casanova. Toasted Buns. Piace Bieu for local food. Kuda Handa Village. Get a tour for the beaches - mambo. Kenepa. The hato caves were spectacular. The San Marino casino was not good The people of Curacao were wonderful ! Enjoy. Talk to locals. Live well. Bon Bini!!.

If it's your first time to Curacao, this is a perfect place to stay. Despite some drawbacks, explained later, the location and overall vibe and amenities make this fantastic place to stay. No regrets! The room was comfortable - beds cozy with nice sheets and duvet, excellent pillow coverage (8 between two beds!! Without asking for extra). The bathroom was extraordinary and honestly on the list of things I miss from vacation. Huge shower. Excellent water flow. The air circulation and assume in floor heat must be pretty stellar because within an hour of three of us all showering the bathroom was completely dry. Air conditioner in the room was perfect, no issues. Slept great. Always a welcomed place to get back to the cool air after being out and about in the gorgeous Curacao heat and sun. WiFi was excellent, no issues three of us using it on our phones. Tv in room worked well, some buffering of Netflix occasionally but basically as good as home. The pool on rooftop is small but there was never anyone in it besides myself and teen daughters so it was perfect place for a quick dip after a day out or midday cooldown. View of Willemstad from that rooftop is unmatched. Go see it for yourself! Staff were kind and personable. No language barriers anywhere on the island and same true for this hotel. We didn't have our room cleaned through the week by choice. Kept it tidy ourselves and swapped out towels once during our week-long stay. One downside is it's loud from 7-12 pm. Earplugs.

GREAT LOCATION! Perfect for Punda Nights and Cascada. Rooms are really small but didn’t both us. Staff friendly. Have to communicate through WhatsApp or go to the front desk if you need anything. May take a while for a response in the App. Hallway carpet is filthy which gives you the impression your room may not be clean but our room was from what we could see. Would definitely stay again. Bring US adapter for plugs!!!

The entire staff was fantastic and very attentive to me. The property itself is lovely and the courtyard has a welcoming vibe. The pool area was lovely and hot. I think a few umbrellas would have been nice to have to make the pool area more inviting to lounge around during the daytime. I would not recommend staying at this property if you are older and have young children. The noise level on the rooftop is next level during the club hours, which is 7 days a week. It’s a hot spot for dinner and dancing which is fantastic! But not if you are looking for something more relaxed in the evenings. The location is great for those whom want a pure Punda experience which makes exploring the city so easy.

Our ocean view balcony room met all of our basic needs. Restaurants and shops were plentiful in the downtown area. The view of the ocean was as pictured with cruise ships visible. The major setback for us was the exceptionally loud music on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights with the commensurate activity going on well into the early morning. Parking in the area is also inconvenient.

Staff is friendly and helpful. It's loud at night because of the rooftop restaurant but that was not a problem for us. However, cleanliness was a problem. They really need to update the carpets in hallway, replace/ repaint areas that need fixing. Also, not every room is the same. We had a room with no closet, non-working safe, hangers, etc. Having the friendly staff and the rooftop views is what gave this hotel 3 stars.

For the price, the hotel is sufficient. However, it is very loud due to the rooftop bar, with noise continuing until about 1 a.m., which made it difficult to rest. The room also lacked basic essentials such as an iron and a phone to contact the front desk, which was inconvenient. Additionally, I was concerned about the lack of security. Hotel guests and rooftop bar patrons use the same stairwell and elevator to enter and exit the rooftop. This shared access could present a significant safety issue. Overall, while the pricing may be reasonable, there are important improvements needed in both amenities and security.
