The Rif at Mangrove Bch Corendon Curacao: The Rif Mangrove BCH Corendon Curacao
The Rif Mangrove was clean. Good food and drinks. The seafood restaurant should better the menu. I ordered fish and chips because there was no shrimp or lobster. The fish was good but it came with fries that were from the freezer - not made from fresh potatoes. The issue with this resort is the hotel app to book the restaurant reservations was not working. My husband tried 3 different days to get in and it didn't work. Because we couldn't book through the app, we had to go to the front desk ever[... read more]y day to book the restaurant for the next day dinner. You could only book for the next day. Because of this we missed out on a reservation because we went on a tour that we were picked up at 9am-4:30pm. The reservation can only be booked from 10am -4pm. So we lost out. In the room we would have liked bed side tables with a drawer to put our ?️ in etc. There could have been more hooks in the bathroom to hang a wet bathing suit. We were on the ground floor so we didn't want to put our things on the patio for anyone to take. Overall it was good.

Sunscape Curacao Resort: Wonderful Resort
The Hotel is excellent, the staff is friendly respectful, and the food is amazing, especially the Italian and Japanese restaurants. There is entertainment every evening and this makes Sunscape Curacao Resort quite attractive, and there are activities for all age groups.
The grounds are well kept, the pools are great, but the building and the furniture are archaic! The residences are in need of renovation!
I would go back any time.

Sunscape Curacao Resort: Sunscape Curacao
Hotel rooms were very comfortable
The cleaning staff were excellent
Sunclub staff were very helpful
Some of the a la carte restaurants were very slow
The beach is beautiful; however, get to the beach before 7am if you want an umbrella. It was very difficult to get shade for our grandkids. Sad really, as the resort does not want anyone to hold the chairs, but many of the seats under the umbrellas were vacant for hours, with only a towel and a few personal items holding them.

The Rif at Mangrove Bch Corendon Curacao: Beautiful resort, great for families!
The Rif at Mangrove was advertised as Adult Only side, but it is not. It still caters to young families, both sides of the Resort is all family friendly. So for couples looking for a quiet adult only vacation this is not the place to choose. Aside from countless slamming doors, and some crying toddlers…housekeeping was great, rooms are immaculate, the cocktails were amazing, food at the buffet was always delicious with so many options! The beach could of been maintained better, they did haul[... read more] in more sand the day we left…We loved being within walking distance into Wilmstead, we enjoyed going into town, shopping and crossing the floating bridge. The tour desk was so helpful finding us a private guide to go swim with turtles and drive us around the area and explaining the history of the island etc. Curaçao is a fabulous island to visit, we really enjoyed ourselves.

Sunscape Curacao Resort: Excellent Stay at Sunscape Curacao
We have just returned from a week's stay at the Sunscape Curacao which I would rate at Excellent. Overall this is a solid 4 out of 5 star.
The snorkelling was outstanding with plenty of fish to see right off the beach. The breakwater adds to safety and makes it more enjoyable. We even got a car rental and visited multiple other beaches but the snorkelling was still the best at Sunscape.
Our room was clean and never encountered hot water or housekeeping issues.
This is not a gourmet[... read more] Michelin experience but the food was good and varied contrary to some reviews. We were always able to find something and ate well.
As for service and staff: Yes you are on island time. Pro tip: if you start with a smile, that goes a long way. Shoutout to Nathaly and Jorge at the Blue Grill as well as Jermaine at the World Grill.
We would definitely recommend and return to the Sunscape Curacao.
Frank and Jodi
Perfect for seniors and watching gstring bikinis
Staff went above and beyond. Music sometimes too loud. Good party place,...........................
I'm finished but system not happy and won't let me out of survey

Sunscape Curacao Resort: Beautiful island
The Sunscape curacao was ideally located. The beach was beautiful, with a protected swimming area filled with a natural reef and lots of colourfull fish. Snorkeling gear and water shoes are recommended. The water entry into the beach is rocky. The staff and service were very friendly. You can drink the water from the taps. The resort is older. With that comes bigger rooms, but also maintenance issues. Our room had a broken handle on the bathroom door and the kids got locked in. The problem was n[... read more]ot fixed in our timeline. The resort was large. The sun club area was the quiet part, but quite far from the restaurants and amenities, so it wasn’t ideal for people with mobility issues. We stayed in tower 2. There was a neighboring business that had obnoxiously loud music until midnight, and the pool area of the Sunscape was quite loud as well, both day and night. If you value quiet, book the sun club area. Food and drinks were good for an all inclusive. Service in the À la carte restaurants were slow. If you didn’t get there for opening at 6:30 there were long waits as the restaurants seemed understaffed. It could take 2-2.5 hours to finish a meal. The gym facilities were basic and crowded. You could safely walk outside of the resort as curaçao is very safe.

Sunscape Curacao Resort: Sunscape
We loved the beaches at this resort. The water was calm and felt very safe for snorkeling and swimming, with plenty of sea life to enjoy.
Overall, the food was good. However, service at the à la carte restaurants was consistently slow. They appeared to be short‑staffed in the kitchen, and guests seemed to be seated in a short time span, which created additional delays. Meals often arrived cool or cold.
The buffet offered a nice variety of dishes and the service there was good.
Staff throughou[... read more]t the resort were friendly and welcoming.
The rooms were spacious and clean, though dated. As an older property, some things were not functioning properly. For example, the bathroom door handle was broken, and closing the door risked getting locked inside. We requested repairs several times, but it was never fixed during our stay.
The music, entertainment at the resort and neighbouring properties was also very, very loud! It typically went to midnight.

Mangrove Beach Corendon Curacao: Great food but very slow service
We stayed at the Mangrove Beach Curacao from Feb 9th to 16th 2026.The hotel was fine but they are definitely under staffed. Check in was very slow as they only had 2 people on. The rooms were very clean but 2 days we had no water when it was time to shower for dinner. After about 1 1/2 hrs it came on but only after going down to the lobby to complain,as they don't seem to answer any phone calls.I would have hated to have an emergency and had to go all the way to the lobby to get help. I have nev[... read more]er encountered that in all my years of travelling. For a Hilton owned hotel I was not impressed. At the bar near the lobby there was 3 girls on but only 1 working as the other 2 were busy talking to each other,and there was a line up for drinks. Also one of the days we lost our A/C for a couple of hours,which again we had to run to the lobby to complain. If you are going from US or Canada you need to take your own converter or if lucky you can leave a 10 dollar deposit to borrow one only.The beach is not the best as there are some rocky spots. I can honestly say the food was very good.

Sunscape Curacao Resort: Excellent resort
Staff was exceptionally helpful. The Sun Club was an excellent choice. The rooms, the gardens, the pools, all scrupulously clean. We especially enjoyed the close proximity of the rooms to the pool to the beach. All were just steps away. Definitely plan to go back.

Dreams Curacao Resort Spa and Casino: Re-named from Dreams to “ NIGHTMARES”
In over 40 years of business and leisure travel by far the worst resort and airline package ever. Old tired Hyatt miserable check in staff got the wrong room changed two days later to another room with mould and a singing toilet! On. any given night 5 of the “ supposed” 7 restaurants were closed the buffet is closed in Sundays. Horrible food and low quality no variety no food or drinks anywhere after midnight pools small and limited lounges, beach was a sandbox. The only good thing was the weath[... read more]er! There is no way the resort should be recommended to anyone and Air Canada should be ashamed to offer it as an AC package. By the way AC supplied planes on a 5 hour flight with no TV screens no IPhone chargers and seating space for those under 10! Absolutely disgusting!

Sunscape Curacao Resort: Great resort!
Our 7 day stay was amazing! Staff at this resort were fantastic, kind & courteous. Our room was nice, clean and the bathroom had recently been remodeled. We had a beachfront, ground floor room in the Plover building. Highly recommend it. We opened our patio door, stepped off our terrace and we were on the beach. Everything was so nice and close, the restaurants, pool etc.. The food was good. We enjoyed our stay very much :)

Sunscape Curacao Resort: Taken advantage of
Curacao is a beautiful warm, friendly, beautiful, historic and safe island. The resort was clean. The food was excellent. The Italian was my favorite. The staff were super friendly. The beach has a concrete pad down with Sand over it in the sitting area because lack of natural white sand I guess. There is a rule about no reserving beach chairs which is completely ignored so palapas are gone by 6 AM but you can find a lounger. Sunclubs are newer in better shape. Bring water shoes, it's a bi[... read more]t rocky in places. Entertaining fire dancers were excellent, we had a carnival night with excellent dynamic musicians. And lounge type music outside at night.
We were suggested to purchase the Sunclub package. It includes having a separate nicer building at quiet end of the resort with your own less crowded beach area, private bar, newer chairs, different towels, private pool and a bar fridge restocked daily. and prioritized check in.We got NONE of that.
On arrival we got in line for check in and waited. When it was our turn we got sent to the sunclub lounge to check in there and waited again. After that we never saw anyone in it because it seems just like a business office with a couple couches and chairs, coffee, wine, water and cookies. The term lounge is exaggerated. We took our luggage, struggled by ourselves to the building at the farthest building from the sunclub. Only one elevator worked of the two. The halls were dingy. The room was bright, large and clean. The maids were very nice. We got an ocean view, true but it was the back of the kitchen and buffet area with all the noise and ventilation sound. The cold water tap didn't work, no problem. We slept separate on our anniversary vacation because we got 2 small beds instead of the king bed in our vacation agreement. No quiet for us because the nightly entertainment was just down to the left of us. On 2 different days we banging above us from workers directly above us on the roof working into the evening. The daily restocked fridge was checked the next day after getting there the nothing until after asking personally/ calling 5 times to ask. Second last day they came . You can drink the water but only the hot water tap worked so I filled my yeti and put in fridge or went down to the bar to get water. The vip services said sunclub members are put all over the resort which there were some others in our building. Finally one rep said they overbooked, that's why we weren't in sunclub area.
I find it deceitful/ sneaky, we never got what we paid for, no apologies or reimbursement. We did eat in the Bluewater grill for breakfast once. It's for sunclub only but is the same food in smaller portions except with table service.
Got asked several times to visit the dreams hotel and learn about the vacation club in a private session for 45 min, no obligation and get a free couples massage. AKA time share pressure pitch.
The concierge Amanda was excellent and attentive although couldn't comment on on our downgrade or any way to resolve it. We were never moved. You may not get what you ask for and I know we're not the first.
PS short walk to Mambo beach. Beach is identical but you have to pay to stay and squeeze in with all the cruise visitors. Nice sops and restaurants. The Curacao Store on upper level is very reasonably priced. Got all our souvenirs there. The gift shop at the resort is +++ expensive.

Dreams Curacao Resort Spa and Casino: Il Mare at Dreams Curacao
We had a wonderful stay at Il Mare. There were very many positives about this small resort and I will also share a couple of things that we feel needs improvement in order to attract folks, like us, who truly expect a 5 star resort when it is advertised as such.
First of all, the transfer to the hotel from the airport was very disorganized. Our bus was held up almost a half hour while waiting for people to get on. It turned out those two people were actually us, who checked in with both Air[... read more] Canada and the bus yet somehow no-one thought to get on the bus before the long delay to ensure we were on- which we certainly were.
The bus then dropped us at "Dreams" next door and told us to walk to Il Mare. We are pretty fit people, so no issue for us, but another couple on the bus were not in the same position as us.
Upon departure, we were assured by our butler(s) multiple times that we would be picked up at Il Mare and we watched the bus go to Dreams and then leave the grounds. $35. US later, to be paid by us, we got a taxi. Super disappointing.
Now for the resort itself- the "pods" are amazing! It was a very cool experience being so close to the ocean and steps to our own beach. Housekeeping was decent and, when necessary, when we informed them they had missed us, they promptly came. Food was decent. Not "amazing" but decent. Sometimes you ordered eggs for breakfast and sometimes they brought you a ham sandwich. We just rolled with it. Their hospitality sector is severely lacking. Although everyone was kind and friendly, I don't think they have had any training on how to actually serve the public. That is a definite area for improvement.
The beach area, although small, offered great snorkelling and you could swim once you got past the rocky entrance. The view and sunsets were spectacular- even from our room.
We only visited Dreams to use the gym which offered very little equipment, dated, and mostly broken and unusable. We rolled with that too.
Across the street was the 3rd resort that we had access to. Zoetry. Poolside lunch was the best "hot" (temperature) food we experienced. That resort is very pretty and tropical. And with that comes bugs, something we did not have at Il Mare.
Our pool area was lovely and relatively quiet. There were no "rush to save chairs" issues. The grounds are well kept and tidy. There is only bar on this resort and service, like everywhere else was friendly, fun and painfully slow. The bar was well stocked with good quality liquors and beer and even the wines were pretty good.
We did not really benefit from the "butler" service. We found them also to be friendly and very unreliable. It was easier to just pretty much do our own thing. We never made a dinner reservation and were welcome in to each restaurant at any resort with no issue.
Overall, for the money we paid (we booked summer of 2025 for January 2026) we felt we got great value and got to see Curacao.
We actually would love to go back to the resort but I really hope they are able to improve in some much needed areas before that.

Sunscape Curacao Resort: Not worth the money
Dining was terrible with the exception of Italian restaurant. Sunclub was not worth it - always requested beer but never came. Beach was very rocky and entertainment in the evenings was not good. The buffet was horrible and if it weren’t for the Italian restaurant we would have lost some weight for sure!

Dreams Curacao Resort Spa and Casino: Dreams Could be Nightmare if not for its Employees
The Main Hotel section a Dream requires tender loving care.
It has the potential if managed and directed effectively to be like Jan Theil area.
But the Senior management must have the foresight.
The issue is dreams have spent so much time trying to upscale and upsell their portable looking timeshares accommodations that they've neglected the main buildings, interior and exterior. For example, I roomed in 4 20. Everything was okay except for the bathroom tub. Luckily for them I was solo trav[... read more]eling. If I had another companion I would have demanded another rule The tub itself alone had peeling marks on it and sealed which it is not attractive. The employees were kind and cooperative. The spa area was nice. I give that a 4 /5
The building itself alone its renovation And it needs I got a touch of adventure and excitement because it has the structural ability to do so I give it a 2 / 5
And if you can eat off the resort. There's a nice restaurants within walking distance with a beautiful view of the sea and the food is very good

Sunscape Curacao Resort: Snorkelling, sunsets and outdoor dining!
If you are looking for friendly people willing to help when asked; meals in open outdoor restaurants steps from the ocean; snorkelling steps from your beach chair in what feels like an aquarium; sunsets to die for from the beach or your room balcony; and a great location for exploring the rest of Curacao then this resort is for you!
If you are someone who likes modern large resorts with bar service in your beach chair then this is probably not your best choice.
The resort rooms could use[... read more] some upgrade, however, the beds are comfortable, the AC worked and they were always clean and well stocked. The food in the restaurants (with the exception of the only one requiring reservation -the PanAsian) was good. The beach has beautiful swimming and snorkelling. The only downside is the shortage of palapas which created the early morning competition to reserve..no sleeping in if you want some shade.
We explored the beauty of Curacao off resort with ease. It is a 5 minute walk to Mambo beach which can provide the Miami type vibe if that interests you.
The shuttle vans that cost $2 stops out front of the resort. We took it to and from Williamsted- a must see.
We hired a private guide who drove us to the north west -Shete Boka National Park, Playa Pescado(turtles), Grote Knipe beach, Playa Kenepa Chiki, Flamingos. Private guide was more economical than paying for excursion for 3 people.
We arranged a snorkelling tour to visit the south west of island -Spanish Waters with cruise through the bay on the way to sunken Tugboat.
We would recommend this resort for those who do not need grandiose to enjoy the amazing beauty of Curacao.
