Not the best. Don’t expect much

Trip started with our deluxe oceanfront view. Having a view of the fish restaurant. Asked the front desk twice to see if we could change to a higher floor. They said they would get back to me and never did. The toilet was running called the front desk. Nobody ever came to look at it. We ended up just fixing it ourselves every time we flushed. The ceiling in the bathroom was leaking we called and nobody ever came. The stocked mini bar is two beers and three pops. Had be track done someone almost [... read more] every day to bring water bottles. Only one bar that you can get drinks at during the day. The hotel is very dated and rundown Buffet ran out of plates. We are extensive travels and have been all over the whole. Will not be going back to that hotel.

Amazing Resort

We have no complaints. The rooms were clean, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic.Thanks to the Italian restaurant and Nicole for decorating for my husband's birthday ( a total surprise) The beach was a bit rocky but not a problem with water shoes, so many fish right at the beach because of the coral. The bartenders were great, and Kenneth's Special drink was a delicious Adult flavored Strawberry Shake. We would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful beach!

We had a great time! The room was very clean, the air conditioning worked great! The pool at sun club was so clean and warm! Zoraida was the best bartender ever! She did such a great job! We had an amazing time snorkeling as well right in front of the sun club pool. I loved that the pool and beach were so close! The grounds were kept very clean and I also had the best deep tissue massage at the spa! Great weather all week!

Sunscape. Resort

Very good good location friendly staff the food could be a little better entertainment was okay would like to hear a little more reggae music but overhaul it was nice beautiful island my wife and I truly enjoyed it and would go again someday

Our Sunscape Experience

Overall, our stay at Sunscape was a positive experience. Having upgraded to SunClub, we felt we had the best room at the resort - it was a corner room with a great ocean view, located on a 2nd floor with a fairly private balcony, and was close to everything. The hotel is, at best, a 3-star resort. Despite being a bit dated, the biggest drawbacks were the poor service and terrible food. With the exception of a couple of standout employees (Nathaly - head waitress/hostess), staff were often  [... read more]scowling and unfriendly. The SunClub staff made us feel as though we were an imposition, and were pretty unapproachable. Xienandrau, who was usually assigned to restocking our mini-bar, was great during the first 5 days; but his service was sporadic thereafter. The staff at the Italian restaurant were frequently rude and dismissive. The staff at Oceania were always friendly and attentive. Thanks to Nathaly, we had attentive service at the Grill and the Cafeteria (aka the Trough). The food quality was repetitive, unimaginative, uninspiring and disappointing. The alcoholic drinks were a bit of a joke for Sunclub guests. One had to order a double or triple shot in order to be served a standard 1.5 oz shot, which made one feel like a real lush!! Although the hotel appeared clean, and staff were visibly always cleaning the premises, we had cockroaches in our room. The air conditioning in our room only seemed to work at around 4:30 am. The rest of the time, our room was quite hot albeit cooler than outside. The coffee maker in our room was broken when we arrived. Despite reporting it twice to the concierge and bringing it to the attention of the cleaning staff, the coffee maker was never replaced or repaired. The gym was not air conditioned and the equipment was dated and not entirely functional. Equipment was limited to ancient weight machines and some quasi-functioning cardio units. For us, the highlights were the onsite scuba facility and the beautifully protected open-water swimming arrangement. The scuba operation and employees were truly excellent. As an avid swimmer, I enjoyed the experience of frequent swims inside the breakwater "reef". Overall, the Sunscape and Air Canada Vacations provided a mediocre experience, at best. However, we liked Curacao and plan to return. The next time (hopefully January 2026), we will avoid AC Vacations and hope to book a 4-6 week stay through either AirBNB or VRBO. We are happy to discuss our experience in person, and also welcome any advice on future longer term visits to Curacao!

Nice family friendly resort

Nice place. The staff is amazing. Check in and out was seamless. Food is good with lots of variety. Close to the city. Safe to go on your open. Entertainment is good but off you like to party, explore neighbouring resorts and the West side.

Amazing resort and great people!

Best beach (like mambo but private). Great, open and very hard working staff. Great entertoyment every evening, special thanks to Candy Man and team ;) Food is just amazing, variety of choices and delicious. You must try for sure Japanese restaurant for special experience (Thanks to Sherman). I will defiantly come back here ! Thanks a lot Sandscape for great, unforgettable vacation time. PLEASE !! PLEASE Tip these very hard working people ! They are making your vacation so great and reall [... read more]y deserves a little token of appreciation.

Sunscape Curaco

My friend and I travelled to this resort from January 9 to 16, 2025. The weather was 35 - 40 degrees with the humidity all week, with very little rain. If you go knowing this is a 3.5 star resort, you will have a great time. The staff at the resort, including everyone we spoke to away from the resort, were amazing. Incredibly friendly and always had a smile on their face. The beach was beautiful with great snorkelling. A little rocky in some spots to get in so bring some water shoes.  [... read more] There were many clean pools. We stayed in a Deluxe Ocean View Double room in building 7. The sleeping area was spacious, but in need of upgrade. The shower water over ran onto the bathroom floor and the bathroom was quite small. We did not have much AC in our room, but they brought us a fan which helped. The room, as well as the entire resort, was very clean. The food at the buffet was fine, yet repetitive and not much flavour in my opinion. It was always cold. I tried to avoid eating there whenever possible. The Italian and Pan-Asian restaurants were really good. We don't eat seafood so we didn't try the seafood restaurant. The Coco Café had amazing coffee and lattes. The Grill had a small menu and again, the food wasn't not warm but it was good. We thought the resort could have used more chairs in the evenings. They were hard to come by and we wanted to enjoy the evening entertainment, but sometimes couldn't find anywhere to sit. We took the bus downtown and enjoyed some shopping and food. We felt very safe. Most shops had prices in American and ANG. If you pay with American money, they may have to give you change in ANG . I should also mention that Curacao is switching their currency to the Caribbean pesos in March so if you plan on taking ANG, use all of it before you come home. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but I would not go back. Curacao is a beautiful island and we were glad we visited.

Awesome resort

From the time we walked in to the time we left everyone was professional and pleasant. I would not hesitate to recommend Sunscape to anyone. The food was always good and plentiful. The room was perfect. the cleaning crew did a very good job.

Perfect for Our Group

I would offer 3.5 star. The restaurant servers were friendly. The food was good for the price. No complaints. The beach was perfect and really enjoyed the snorkeling. The rooms were good for the price. The no smoking policy could have been better enforced. There were small quirky things. For example, I ordered the Hawaiian Burger and it arrived with no grilled pineapple. The pineapple and Hawaiian theme is why I had ordered it. The server didn't advise us there wasn't any pineapple. She simply  [... read more]brought it to me. This same thing happened with the Organic lettuce and watermelon salad. It arrived with no watermelon. They substituted it with cucumbers and didn't say anything. I ordered an iced coffee at the coffee bar and the woman said she had no ice. Otherwise, all was good. The pools were great. The entertainment was good as well. For the price, this is a good resort and I would go back with another group.

Accommodating

Overall: An interesting resort! A variety of food Clean grounds Clean beach Lovely waterfront for swimming Could use a few more lawn chairs Gift shop too expensive More bottled beer needed on site More replenishing needed in room fridge More coverage on food from the flies in the buffet Too many flies in the food really turns your appetite Accommodating supervisors and managers when toilet repairs needed Moved me 3 x to accommodate divers Upgraded far sun group building needing  [... read more]an elevator for heavy gear Dive shop too expensive Entertainment needs clean up from heavy base sounds blasting the night air Need an entertainment manager that accommodates all age groups More jazz and classical needed

Excellent resort

The resort was so nice, beach was beautiful. Snorkeling right there Overall just enjoyed our time The entertainment was good there was always plenty to do Very safe, took the bus into the city and just walked around

Enjoyed our stay

Overall we really enjoyed our stay, there were a couple small issues in the room they dealt with quickly. Ac worked fine for us. Food was okay, but not much variety, and most wouldn't qualify for gourmet. The deserts in particular were generally disappointing. The resort always felt relaxed, we never had to wait very long for a table at the restaurants or look too far for a lounge chair. Staff was always friendly and helpful.

Beautiful place

We stayed for 7 days and Curacao is absolutely gorgeous. The staff at the Sunscape hotel were amazing; very friendly and always helpful. The food was good, yet repetitive but well seasoned and fresh. The only negative for us was the beach. Not enough lounge chairs and shade. The beach is also divided by a rock wall which is nice because the water is calm BUT the water smelled. It wasn't an overwhelming smell but you can tell that the water didn't circulate. I love the ocean but was not excited t [... read more]o go to this beach. The upside is that one of their famous beaches, Mambo beach, is only a five minute walk off the resort with plenty of shops and restaurants as well.

Sunscape Curacao Resort

Starting withTammy who was wonderful. She gave all the information we needed in good time and even remembered the coupon for park and fly that we used. We had a great time there….the staff were all courteous and accommodating. There was always plenty to eat and drink! No rain until the last day when we were leaving for only 10 or 15 minutes. It was very warm all week and lots to do. Great entertainment nightly!

Lovely Resort!

The resort is very nice. Our first room was 7113, smells like septic but we had a new room two days later. Much better! The Oceanic Restaurant was fantastic! Good food and awesome staff. Italian was also good.

Great Vacation at Sunscape Curacao

We have just returned from a lovely week spent at SUNSCAPE CURAÇAO. Staff were amazing, kind helpful, personable. Special shout-out to KERRION ( day restaurant manager). She was amazing! Also special shout-out to Bryan ( bartender), happy single guy. Food was excellent, no complaints in that department. Room was large, clean and provided everything we needed during the week. Beach swimming was perfect, snorkeling even better. We did not spend time at the pools as water was so inviting. We sta [... read more]yed in buildings # 7, A/C worked fine, cold fridge, ocean view with Oceana restaurant right outside our door for drinks, etc. Entertainment was good. This is an older resort going through a facelift and certainly met our needs. Linda and Glenn

Aging poorly

The hotel is showing its age, many maintenance issues, broken or poorly working features. Food is bland and lacks verity and flavour. Staff is friendly and nice but overworked as the hotel is clearly understaffed. Issues during my stay went unresolved until the second to last day when management stepped in. Wifi was not working, coffee machine in exclusive section not working, AC in room barely working (couldn’t keep room below 25c even at night). Many restaurants closed, dance bar closed, the l [... read more]ist goes on. The beach is well protected and calm, great for kids and safe but no lifeguards. Also bring water shoes as there is an abundance of coral in the sand. The explorers club (for kids) is fantastic and was the best part for my children. The kids enjoyed everything but the adults are left dissatisfied.

Should You Upgrade?

I would first like to say we did make the best out of our circumstances. The location is beautiful and the waters are crystal clear. Just not impressed with the upgrade, amenities and many services. The Air Canada tour package ‘Beach Escape with Sea Turtles’ for $85 USD per person to see flamingos in the wild, swim with Greenback sea turtles, visit a couple of beautiful beaches and a seaside beach lunch was worth the money. It was more reasonable than the resort packages. We also went for an [... read more] introductory scuba dive through Ocean Encounters for $135 USD each. I use to dive but let my ticket lapse. My wife had never dove. It was a spectacular dive. We saw a coral reef rebuilding project and many varieties of sea life. Our dive instructor Leroy (from Netherlands) was excellent instructor. We visited Willemstraat via local bus for $4 USD each return fare ($2 USD one way). Willemstraat is an old colonial dutch town with colourful buildings, a bridge that pivots sideways, a free local ferry, shops and markets. Very colourful and artistic town. We never felt harrassed by anyone, especially in the town centre market. Below we have summarized (sort of) our Sunscape Curacao Resort experience. The resort overall is in serious need of maintenance and repairs. Below summarizes issues with different areas of the resort. What made much of our stay tolerable were some of the staff. Of whom I will mention by name later on. When we arrived in the Sun Club Office/Reception, along with several others, we had to wait over 1/2 an hour to be registered as Sun Club Members. General patrons were checked in at the main front desk within a very short period of time. In fact, after the general patrons were checked in, the staff from the main front desk came to assist the Sun Club Reception. We were told the resort was recently acquired by the Hyatt brand ad that they were going through a change. Our friends in room# 8213 had an ocean view with King bed, quite spacious with large balcony. Their bar had champagne, beverages and a fruit plate. Our room# 8216 was a partial ocean view, a tiny triangular balcony (with barely enough room to sit) and was stocked with 4 different cans of pop and 2 - 1/2 sized bottles of beer. Neither couple received robes. Robes were part of this package. Our room was quite dated and warn. Stains on the pillows and dresser counters not clean. Debris from past patrons still on balcony (burnt match sticks and crumbs). The bed was musty and smelt unclean. We politely complained to Timothy the night manager. He said our rooms were the same. I said that it may be considered that from his point of view but that we felt it was most definitely not. Timothy gave me a difficult time and insisted they were at 100% capacity. We’ve had yet to see this as appears sparse with patrons. He finally agreed to change our room the next day, around 5pm. I asked to see the room first before moving. The next day after 5:30pm, we received a new room on 3rd floor room# 8303 (from room# 8216). We lost a sofa, still had same same balcony size, a slightly better view. We went from an Eastern view to Western view. We benefitted by not having a morning sun glaring on us while eating breakfast. The room was cleaner. The bed wasn’t musty but sheets still had stains. We did receive 2 robes and gained a wall bottle opener. We still weren’t happy but decided that we didn’t want to waste our vacation on room changes. Our friends requested a room change a couple of days later from room# 8213. Our one friend developed a leg issue which left her struggling to get up and down stairs and walking long distances. The next day around 5:30pm, they were given a ground room# 6102 in non Sun Club member area. They still had access to the Sun Club privileges. Their room had a modern toilet that flushed without holding down the tank lever for 1-2 minutes. Such an embarrassing situation in the morning when it takes a long time to flush. Overall, their room was actually not much different than ours. We have no idea what the Sun Club room upgrades were. House Keeping Issues - Refilled in room coffee station only 3 times. Our daily mission while walking to an amenity was always to ask a housekeeper …when we can find one…for coffee, cream and sugar. - Bathmat was removed towards end of week and never replaced - One morning housekeeping didn’t wipe off or sanitize our in room dining table. The table was sticky from breakfast room service. Spilled juice etc. - Overall, daily housekeeping cleaning wasn’t fantastic. A few days we had sandy floors. Dining - The restaurants have varying policies on dress code. We were told by a security staff that what we were wearing was not appropriate for the ocean front grill on our first night. My wife was wearing a skirt and a tank top. When we returned, people wearing ‘Rock Band’ type T’s and casual shorts were allowed in. Even people were let into buffet with bathing suits on when the sign clearly stated ‘No Bathing Suits or Bare Feet’. Very confusing. - Wait times for restaurants are more than 90 min. Except for Hititsu Teppanyaki Bar you can’t make reservations, so you have to wait around the other restaurants after you place your name on a list. The buffet was also a bit of a wait. Apparently they are short staffed at some restaurants so wait times were often more than a couple of hours. - The food wasn’t great. Portions at A La Carte restaurants were quite small. Once waited 2+ hours to receive a full sized plate loaded with only 1/5 of it in salad and small entree. Quite frustrating. As to order more would again take quite awhile to receive. The Italian restaurant, Da Mario’s, Teppanyaki at Hititsu Teppanyaki and the buffet were the worst. - Da Mario’s pasta was Al Dente but most sauces were terrible and seafood over cooked and dry. - Teppanyaki at Hititsu was not Teppanyaki. It was more like a stir fry. Tiny pieces of chopped pork, beef and chicken served with stir fried rice, scrambled eggs and stir fried frozen vegetables is not Teppanyaki. Not flavourful. - For breakfast, fresh OJ at buffet and concentrate most other places including room service. Da Mario’s Italian restaurant’s A La Cart breakfast had instant (much like Tang or Sunny D). Oddly, Da Mario’s served ham & cheese crepe with chocolate sauce drizzled all over the plate. - Buffet always late to open. One morning we had to meet in the hotel lobby by 8am for an excursion and almost didn’t have food to eat. However, I met 2 older couples (Eastern European) who barged in at 7:20am (I was in the front of the line) and they turned to me and said “We’ve been here 4 weeks and they are suppose to be open at 7am so wait if you want to but we’re eating”…. Loved them! I followed them in. No issues. - Ice cream bar rarely had someone on duty. One time we waited over 20 minutes. Staff from the kitchen saw us, walked away, never to be served. Sun Club Member Issues Pool - Can’t swim in any pool after 6pm. Never experienced that before at a resort. We did out of defiance even after security verbally said to get out but never returned to enforce. We were quiet and respectful. - Also, tired of pool cleaning in Sun Club being done last. They start the general area around 5am….I know this because I was up to work out at that time…. Then they would clean ours last starting around 8:30-8:45am which lasts anywhere up to an hour. So my wife and others couldn’t do laps unless up early. Pool gets busy after 9am. Yes people could rise earlier but it’s a holiday. Our Sun Club pool area should be completed first. - There was supposed to be to be an adults only hot tub. We finally found it. It was not heated. Cool water like the pools. Our friend loves hot tubs but not able to enjoy it this vacation. Sun Club Bars - Premium Top shelf Alcohol is always limited, not top shelf (Jim Beam, Absolute, Dewars). We always joked that it’s Top Shelf because those bottles were literally on the top shelf. Ran out of Bailey's after 3 days. So 3 days of good morning coffee. Very limited alcohol selection. We have a SunClub bar by our pool and no Baileys or many other ‘Top Shelf’ alcohol that the lobby bar has. Always have to go to Lobby bar, which is a fair distance away, wait in line to get what we want. - The Sun Club bar for premium alcohol has a short window. Closes at 5pm. So if we take an excursion that day, we’re out of luck. We had to go all the way to the lobby bar to get ’Top Shelf’ access. Unlike the pool bar, the lobby bar you are required to wear a shirt. So that added more to our journey. - I may seem obsessed about this but No Baileys 4 days in a row! The last 4 days. Entertainment - Lounge Bar (by entertainment area near scuba centre) for dancing always closed. Suppose to be open 11pm-2pm. Apparently we heard from staff that since COVID, this lounge has been closed for 3 years and only recently updated on web site. When we booked it hadn’t been updated. Very misleading and disappointing. We love dancing. - Rock climbing wall was much smaller than web site shows. - No batting cage. We asked and everyone looked at us like confused. - No movies on the beach. Sun Club Customer Service - Calling SunClub Concierge is extremely challenging. - Tried calling for maintenance, gave up. Went to Sun Club office to request unclogging of bathroom sink & repair faucet handle as handle comes off. A couple of days later a maintenance man came by to unclog our bathroom sink. Faucet was never repaired. - None of the chairs throughout Sun Club area had seat cushions for patio/balcony chairs. Called to request balcony chair cushions. On the line for 15 minutes, only to hear they will pass the message on to house keeping. Never to receive them. Later that day while walking to another resort area, we spoke to housekeeping staff. We gave our room number with a request for 4 balcony chairs seat cushions. The cushions came a couple hours later, only to receive 2 cushions. We gave up and settled with the 2 seat cushions. - Stocking our room fridge was always an issue. We had it stocked twice in the entire stay. One of those times was when we arrived and the other occurred when the room service bar attendant was rolling past our suite. In the beginning of our trip I called daily for a few days. The phone would ring 15-20 minutes. We gave up. Even complained to Sun Club Office. They would write things down but nothing was done about it. We gave up. Room Service - Our first morning, the breakfast room service app was not usable. We could scroll through it and navigate but the actual ordering could not be preformed on the app. We ordered by calling. Took a long while to answer. However we did receive breakfast in 30 min. The poached eggs and toast were great. The fresh melon was as well but the addition of sliced ‘canned peaches and pears’ was very odd. Odd reflection of fruit in a tropical place. One day ordered 1 poached egg and received 3 poached eggs of which 1 had 1/2 an egg shell still attached. The last few day we were told 30-45 min. Waited 1 1/2 hrs and only received 1/2 our order. No cream & sugar for coffee. Dinners were delivered within an hour so no complaints . Sun Club Beach Front - Often sewer gas smells permeated while resting on beach. Very unpleasant. - No resort Wifi available on end of beach in Sun Club area. The day before we left we went to the Sun Club Office to arrange to have an extra hour late check out. They normally charge for this but Ariela arranged as a complimentary request. The next day Zaraya made sure our keys were coded for this request. There is a guest suite that is complimentary but this was more of a convenience for us as the shuttle pick up was 2pm. Ariela and Zaraya provided the best service for us in Sun Club Office. The last day when we were packed and waiting in front lobby for our shuttle to the airport, I met the hotel GM, Oswaldo. He proceeds to ask me how our stay was. By this point I had complained enough. So i didn’t get into details. I did say our stay was not pleasant but many of the staff were very nice. I mentioned the staff we had the best encounters with; - Zoraida - Sun Club Pool bar tender. Sweet woman who went out of her way to have the hotel purchase bitters for our Old Fashions. It took the hotel nearly the entire week to get it but on the last day we had it. So we enjoyed 2 Old Fashions before we left. We tipped her. - Quella - A floating bar tender. We had her at several bars and she was excellent. Great personality. We tipped her. Oswaldo went on to say that he was flown in from Cancun and that the resort has just been acquired by Hyatt and that there are many changes to be made. I told him that I use to in the hotel industry as a pastry chef and I understand much of what goes on. This was not impressive. He said for me to answer survey when sent. So this much of this will be copied and pasted in my various reviews. I know this is a long review. I had to condense it as best as I could. There are other details I could mention but this is enough to get a picture of our experience. Most people we spoke to at the resort had the same issues and other problems as well. Like I stated in the beginning, we made the best of a bad situation. Never arguing with anyone. Always trying to find resolution maturely. In no way do I blame Trip Central. Our agent Candice has always provided excellent service.

Ok

The resort was clean food was ok but the service was terrible. Had to wait for at least 5-10 minutes to be served with just a glass of water. Staff not at all pleasant. Some days, there was a shortage of plates, cutlery. I could not believe that maple syrup was watered down. I certainly would not recommend the resort to my family and friends
