Piscadera Harbour Village

Excellent!

While we had a lovely stay overall there were a few learning curves and challenges that would have been good to know prior to arrival. Pros: beautiful property, well appointed bungalow with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Great view of ocean/bay sunsets. Nice big balcony/patio to lounge on. Pool area was clean and lots of chairs available. Nice little beach and beach bar/pub within walking distance. Small washer and dryer in the bungalow which was very helpful. Cons: Communication- we rarely seen the administrative staff. The reception was locked and unattended until the last day when I went to check out. This meant that we didn’t have access to beach towels. Additionally the check in details were unknowingly sent via WhatsApp (while all other details were sent via email). I do not have WhatsApp and it was very challenging to get the info when we arrived, as there was no one in the reception area and it was locked. Amenities: no facecloths or hand towels were provided during our stay. 1 bath towel each. There was a 4 burner cooktop but no stove or BBQ for meal preparation. No access to beach towels unless you could find someone in the reception office. Electrical outlets: beware, the entire island is 220V. You will likely need a converter BUT hair dryers/electric razors etc will not work. We brought a converter and were able to charge phones, devices, however my Dyson hair tools were useless. It’s not something they can charge, but is essential to know.

Our apartment was perfect for 4 adults. Pool deck was nice and clean.

Didn’t like that we had ants and there were no cleaning supplies for your leisure. Love the location. Once on property don’t need a car but will need it to get to the beaches. Very quiet and cozy. We used the 2nd bd room to store our luggage, glad that we had that or else we wouldn’t have had any place for them. The island is expensive especially around the tourist spots

While the view was beautiful and so was the property it looked out at a new building with broken windows and graffiti all over it. It’s outside of the property but still an eye sore

I did like this property a lot. It was clean easy to access. There were some dining options within walking distance (the shrimp basket at De Visserij is a must, trust me). There is a nice, clean pool on the property. Concierge will give you beach towels if you ask. Great views from the property. The reason this place is not getting a perfect score is because of the toilet seats, they were clean, but stained from harsh cleaners. Additionally, its not a hotel, so there is no reception area, but they do have a property management concierge onsite, although it was unstaffed at times (they might have just been around the property taking care of stuff). Lastly, there are some unfinished or abandoned properties across the street that has graffiti on the buildings, but you stop noticing that by the second day, and the area is very quiet and safe, even at night. To summarize: The property is great! The folks around the property was friendly and chatty. I liked the location, it was an 8 minute drive to Williamstad's nightlife. I would highly recommend Piscadera Harbour Village.
