This was our first time in Curacao and it couldn't have been more amazing!! The beautiful views and grounds here exceeded our expectations! Our two bedroom villa was perfect for our family of 5. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again!!

I had a wonderful stay for 9 nights in a junior suite. It was a very quiet resort and the facilities were terrific. The beach and pool were wonderful and everyone at the front desk were very helpful. I used the supermarket shuttle twice and made use of the shuttle into town. The restaurant on the property was terrific too with a great server called Alejandro. I would definitely come back again but this time stay in a villa so I had a balcony option. Thank you to the sub manager Alejandra for showing me an upgraded villa today for next time!

Check in/out was easy. All staff is amazing, polite, helpful, friendly. Hotel is clean. Aquarium is next door. Breakfast is included and there are delicious options with a good portions. The beach has chairs. The water goes very deep right away so not great for very little kids or those who don’t swim at all, will need a life jacket. Great pool area. Hotel does offer some free stuff to borrow, we borrowed a pool noodle. There is a free shuttle to a grocery story (min 4 ppl had to sign up), shuttles to downtown. Mambo beach is 5-8 min walk. Overall we enjoyed the hotel. It was clean and quiet.

We were lucky to visit several places, and always noted we were happy we stayed where we did!! The condo-style accommodations were perfect for our family. We overlooked the dolphin swim area and we're treated to lots of dolphin play! The terrace is huge! The private beach was awesome - actually private and never crowded. Snorkeling was great to see a lot of fish and marine life! Everything I read about the property didn't helpfully describe how close a lot of things are. There is only one restaurant on property - Ola's - but it has a lot of options and was delicious. Lions dive resort was literally a 3 minute walk and lots of options and a 5 minute walk to Mambo Beach with all kinds of options. One night we drove toward Jan Thiel Beach and ate at Tabooshh which was fantastic. Jan Thiel beach is a 10-12 min drive; and the town is a 10-min drive (the driving is not for the weak; and I suggest reviewing street signs ahead of going!) do yourself a favor though and rent a car! While the driving was a little aggressive and roads twisty, it made getting around so much easier and we were able to see much of the beautiful island. I would definitely stay here again.

We loved being next to the aquarium and being able to go back to the room. it was very convenient for our 1.5-year-old. the kiddie pool was all hers too. Everyone on staff was helpful and friendly. there is a restaurant next door and the happy hour bar. We loved our stay and our room. our room was huge and very spacious! everything was clean and on hand. defiantly would stay here again.

I stayed at the Sea Aquarium for four days, it was really relaxing. You can just stay all day by the beach or the pool, and the shuttle service is awesome you don't have to spend extra money in taxi rides. The staff was always helpful and kind, I would recommend this hotel for family vacations or if you just want to go to relax and get tanned.
