Bario is the best in Willemstad
The Bario's location is excellent, very accessible to the town and lots of eateries. The restaurant serves delicious food. Bario is clean and comfortable, and Stephanie, the manager, was amazing! She was very helpful and courteous. Bario is an excellent value in terms of price, location, cleanliness, service quality and food.

This was a fabulous place! My twin and I were staying here for the week and we hit gold with this place. Could not have asked for a better room or service! We were worried about being located right near the restaurant but it was not an issue and very quiet. The cleaning, cooking, and administrative staff were all attentive and pleasurable to work with. If we ever come back to 🇨🇼, we are staying here! It is locally owned and gives back to the economy unlike some other resorts/hotels in curacao. Stay here if you want to stay close to downtown. This side of the bridge is the best place to be :)

Had an excellent 5 day stay a Bario hotel. If you want to get a local experience then this is your place. It is centrally located and the Queen Emma Bridge to Punda is about a 6 min walk. The staff were so Kind, food was great, just overall great hospitality.

A GOOD NEIGHBOURHOOD PLACE TO STAY
If you are looking for accomodation that makes you feel apart of the neighbourhood and not necessarily a hotel, this is the place to be. Colonional buildings renovated to apatment and room styles with all the amenities you need.
The Location is perfect to get around the city center.
The food is reasonable and tasty, with courtyard perfect for just hanging out with friends.

Our room was not in the main part of the hotel which was ok as it was quiet, had access to a back patio area and was not far from the main hotel. Rooms are in historic buildings so expect that they are not in 'pristine' condition as old buildings like old homes require constant maintenance.
The staff were very pleasant and helpful. We would recommend the hotel as it was very easy walking to Punda, to the bus stations, restaurants, and to many attractions. We enjoyed the small pool as a way to cool off and relax after a day of walking and sightseeing.
Thanks to the Bario for a great week.

Good choice but noisy
The property is very well located. Room is clean, but communication via Whats is bad. There is no reception, so you must talk to the restaurant’s employees. It is a noisy place due to the old construction. There was a big party during my stay with loud music until 2am.

This review is truly a mixed bag, so let's start with the positives.
Pros:
The location is perfect. Close to restaurants, bars, the Queens Bridge, Rif Fort and so much more.
The staff was helpful and friendly.
There is a bar and restaurant on the grounds, so that option was great.
We stayed in the deluxe apartment which allowed for plenty of space, but also presents a few challenges.
Negatives:
You will need to pay close attention to the amount of electricity used daily. You are asked to turn the AC off when you leave your unit which is tough because it was extremely hot. At one point we had no electricity during the dead of night because we exceeded the allotted electricity for our stay. Who knew?!
There was no emergency number to call so we suffered a bit.
If you select the deluxe apartment, there are steep stairs and the bathroom is downstairs, so if you are not able body, this particular unit may not be for you.
Our bed was pretty bad. Very thin and the wooden frame is rather noisy. Not really comfortable at all.
This did not bother us much, but worth noting, the Saturday night event is extremely loud. The band played until around midnight or so.
All and all, great experience! My negatives were to highlight things for future occupants as I would still recommend this hotel.

Property was very noisy especially since my bed was situated directly underneath the staircase. I would suggest putting a mat on the staircase to avoid the noise. Jot everything was explained upon arrival however the costumer service was impeccable when asking questions. There were a few instances when I asked a worker for assistance and he had no mnowledge of what to do.

I would have loved to give this a higher rating but the mattress and pillows were almost unbearable. I was exhausted most of our trip. With that being said, this is a wonderful little urban boutique hotel. The staff was wonderful. Very helpful and friendly. The property never felt crowded. There is a small pool to relax by and a minimal restaurant and bar on site. We rented one of the small apartments. Didnt get the cute one pictured but realize that was just the luck of the draw. Also, you should realize that this is located in a neighborhood and does get quite noisy at times. We had young children screaming/playing right outside our window til midnight one night plus construction and other city noises on a regular bases. We were ok with this but if you are looking for peace and quiet you may want to look elsewhere.
