Top Historic Center Hotel Reviews

Renaissance Wind Creek Curacao Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great place!"

Elements Hotel & Shops

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and comfortable, and the hotel staff were accommodating throughout my stay. The location is excellent, with easy access to nearby attractions and amenities. However, there were some drawbacks. Maintenance work was taking place during my visit, with dusty passageways and carpets being removed. It would have been helpful if the hotel had informed guests about this in advance. I was also disappointed that Cascada declined my reservation request on a Thursday, citing it as their busiest night; I would have expected hotel guests to be given some priority. Breakfast was served at Mia Terra, but I was overcharged and told that the prices had changed from those listed on the menu, which was frustrating. Additionally, music from the surrounding area continued until around midnight, which may be disruptive for light sleepers. Overall, the stay was pleasant, but better communication regarding maintenance, restaurant reservations, and pricing would improve the guest experience."

Avila Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"The property was beautiful. The rooms (blues wing) were spotless. The property did listen to a request I made, I appreciated that. Location was very helpful as you can walk to many restaurants. The property, was relaxing and 2 beaches pretty quiet. Snorkeling was pretty good. No problem getting a beach chair most times. Cons; the hotel hosts weddings, birthday parties, etc and will shut down amenities/sections of the resort with minimal (less than 24 hrs) notice.At their prices I thought that was a problem. The restaurants on the property served good food. Prices were high in my opinion. Service was hit or miss. The gym was very nice and modern. The hot tub was a miss. Not in great shape, closed before advertised time on 2 occasions and in awkward spot that required a staff member to unlock access. Staff was hit or miss. Emily at the front desk was so very friendly and helpful. Very nice way to get checked in . Matilda who was the cleaning staff on our floor was definitely a highlight for us. She was exceptional, friendly and keeps that place spotless. And Luz at the blues was also friendly and welcoming."

The Rif at Mangrove Beach Corendon Curacao All-Inclusive, Curio by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Only 2 issues. No entertainment or good music on the Rif side, way too quiet. The Rif side is not adults only, children everywhere. Also, no water in the refrigerator, they give you a water bottle which you have to continuously refill from the fountain."

Scuba Lodge City Beach

6/10 Okay

"Pros - The room appeared to be clean & staff did clean daily. The facility itself appeared to be nice, cleaned and maintained. Cons- only one pool worked. The restaurant has horrible service. They want you to make a reservation to eat. The food was mediocre. However, that seems to be the norm on the island. Slow service & the staff acted annoyed that you were even there. Parking can be tricky in the evenings. That seems to be when everyone goes out. I felt that the norm there is everyone must dress up and present themself in a formal manner. Not really the beach style I love. If I want to wear shorts and be comfortable, it was almost like you were judged as a homeless person. As I mentioned above, the service at the restaurant both at Scuba Lodge and throughout the island need some customer service or hospitality training. I spoke with many other people & they all had the same experience. I felt that Americans are NOT wanted on the island although Curacao is marketing heavily here in the states. Keep that in mind bc I was treated like S#.+ numerous times. Even cursed on a boat trip to Klein. The island itself is beautiful. If I go back, I’ll be renting VRBO or something similar. This has been my least fav island of the ABC’s. Bonaire is my fav due to less people, quieter nights, customer service and more of a friendly atmosphere."
