"The hotel is ideally located, just a 7-minute walk from Brion City in downtown Curaçao. The staff were warm, friendly, and very helpful throughout our stay. Our only issue was that we were not adequately informed about the hotel’s technology for the Do Not Disturb function and housekeeping requests. As we did not have a bellman to assist us upon arrival, we were unsure about the location and operation of the light switches. Unfortunately, we inadvertently activated the Do Not Disturb feature and, as a result, our room was not serviced for two days. A brief explanation of the room’s technology and housekeeping procedures upon check-in would have been very helpful and would have prevented this misunderstanding. Overall, however, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the hospitality of the staff."

"Housekeeping is excellent considering the rooms are not updated they are accommodating to visitors request. Some Registration staff are on rotation from other islands and are very professional. It appears I encountered only one agent who wasn’t taught how to seek out answers to questions proposed and didn’t seem to know the “I’m not so sure or let me double check that”. As travelers I know see and feel when a person is unsure but appears to conjure an answer that is very questionable. Therefore as a traveler. my common sense kicked in to reconfirm an answers. Meals are delicious and give plenty of options and variety of foods. Servers and bar tenders are inviting you with smiles and laughter. The exfoliating experience in the spa did not disappoint."
