Hotels near Curaçao Sea Aquarium, Willemstad

There were 4 of us that traveled to the Acoya Resort in Curacao in April 2024 using Air Canada Vacations. Our pregnant daughter-in-law was one of the 4. We booked a 2 bedroom apartment and a rental car at Acoya. The flight out of Toronto was 2 hours late in leaving which impacted our vacation due to late time of arrival. For 2 months prior to the trip, I was speaking with the car rental company to select the vehicle. Be careful with this as the most common rental car is very small and only suitable for 2 people. When we arrived, the airport bus transfer company made us wait in the sun for no good reason while they loaded people going to other resorts. This is usually a first come first seated service. The bus was comfortable with good air conditioning and charging ports on the seat. Check in was quick and easy. The girls at the front desk were helpful and professional. We got to our room which was a bit dated. The kitchen, dining room and living area were all good sizes. Our bedroom was good size but the room for our son and his wife was miniature. So small that they could not open the drawers in their wardrobe because it was right up to the foot of the bed. They could not unpack and had to live out of their suitcase for the week. The biggest problem we had was with the car rental company. After months of exchanging messages and pictures, agreeing on the car and the rates, there was no car available for us when we got there. He said he forgot about us and sent the car out. WHaaattttt!!! After all that, no car. He tried to put the 4 of us and all our gear into a tiny car smaller than a smart car. We argued for over an hour when he finally agreed to put us into an SUV. OMG. This vehicle was filthy, had rotting food in it, garbage inside, half inch of dust and grime, no gas and so dirty outside that you could not see out. We had to clean it ourselves and throw out garbage. Running on fumes, we went to Mambo beach for dinner. This was a pleasant experience. It was already dark so we could not see the beach. We ate at one of the restaurants, tried local dishes and loved them. Food and service were great. The next morning, we crossed our fingers, loaded up our beach gear and headed out. First stop, fill up the gas tank from empty. 10 Minutes into the drive someone driving next to us flagged us over to let us know that the front driver’s side tire was flat. We pulled over in a gas station, by now it was over 30 degrees C. We had on beach wear and were not prepared for what was to come. Flat tire and a filthy car, I called the company. Their response was swift. They sent a repair company to change the tire. Well, well, well. The small spare tire turned out to be rotten when they put it on. It could not be inflated. So now no front tire and no spare. Wait…. It gets worse. So the owner of the rental company comes to meet us. Meanwhile we cannot go into the vehicle, so we are waiting outside in the blazing sun and heat getting burnt. They take the

After a mix-up with the reservation, the manager resolved our issue. As someone who frequently stays at hotels on other Caribbean islands, I was not impressed with this property. I believe I read somewhere that they were supposed to have a welcome reception, but I could have misinterpreted the information. The staff at a hotel in the Caribbean should be friendlier. I'm unsure if they were unfriendly because of my complaint or if that's their usual demeanor. A welcome drink and assistance with luggage would be a nice touch for a hotel that is categorized as 5-star. On a positive note, the hotel is within walking distance of Jan Thiel Beach, has a restaurant, and offers good music every night.

The staff was amazing throughout. A big thank you to Stephany for her attentiveness and assistance. The breakfast staff was extremely lovely. However, the breakfast options need to be increased and should also include local dishes to promote Curacao's culture. The pillows and mattress in the room I stayed in need to be replaced.

I had a great time at this resort. The rooms were clean and comfortable. During my stay I went to the beach each day and received great service from Bianca. In the evening time I went to the 5'clock bar and my service was amazing once again. I went there for 3 days and Gabe, MaryDee,and Zurie were the best. I will definitely be visiting again.

Here my honest review..if you are all inclusif or beach hotel of course it is not for you..Hotel new very clean and nice, nice pool, spacious rooms. 6 minute walk to floating bridge easy acces to west point if rent a car..cleaning ladies very nice and respectful..check in in is a breeze if not to many people ladies there almost always alone so do great job..the breakfest is ok to start the day with great service and smiling servers..i seen that perks linked to status like free breakfast or late checkout are not available..the only negative about hotel is lobby bar in evening the waitress mainly stands around talking to bartender..and bartender is lost.. First night we sat waited 20 minutes she never came ask if wanted a drink had walk to bar and wait another 15 minutes to get drinks.. thought was just a bad night so we went back 2 days later was same..

I visited Corendon Mangrove Beach Resort with my boyfriend. We had a great time. Staff was very friendly, helped us with everything (shout out to the staff in the lobby). The food was very good and diverse. Loved the cocktails at flamingo bar, we tried a lot of them ;). Definitely coming back to this place. Don’t always trust the reviews you read here! Keep in mind it’s peoples personal opinion. In our opinion it was GREAT.

The drinks are good, the pinacolada was phenomenal and the hotel signature “Mangrove Sunrise” is delicious. Personal experience has been great, very friendly. The beach is beautiful. It was a treat to see sea turtles inside the beach area of the resort.

Lindo resort. Quarto bem amplo, linda vista para o mar. Piscinas maravilhosas, praia pé-na-areia e muito boa. Ótima localização. Há um hipermercado próximo (aproximadamente, 3 Km - Carrefour). Há uma galeria com várias lojas junto ao Carrefour. O resort Marriott Curaçao tem um bom estacionamento e fácil acesso às praias do norte da ilha, bem como aos bairros Otrobanda e Punda. Eu e minha esposa amamos o resort e Curaçao.
