This resort was built in 1966, It was a Breezes before that. I really do read all the reports on Trip Advisor, Oyster, and Monarch. Most are complaining about everything , most are saying its the best. I usually discard 50%. Friends recommended the resort, saying it was a little tired but still ok, as it had a 4* rating.
The resort is tired, but they are slowly trying the update it. Upon entering the resorts off the tour bus, my stomach sank, hoping this was not the resort , but it was. The ro[... read more]om we were given, as requested , was to be central but quiet not near the entertainment all night. When we entered the room, I didn't want to unpack. There were no doors on the closets, 1 small round table, with 1 outdoor chair. The bathroom was so outdated ,there was no place to put anything away,as there was no counter-space around the sink.The shower was 24x24 with a curtain round around it, and the curtain was so small in didn't close.The safe was broken, and when my husband sat on the corner of the bed it collapsed. We request another room in an upgraded block, which we refused to pay for, but it was granted, although we had to wait 2 days for. Because the safe was broken, I had to keep all of our money, passports with me, until that room was ready.
The other room was a little better, with a balcony we could get another chair inside and the bathroom had a walk in shower and some counterspace. But in was still outdated but very clean.It was on the 3rd floor. Although I have somewhat of a disability it was manageable. We booked the resort for 2 wks at over $7,900.00 cdn.
On the plus side, the beach is very nice with the break wall , amazing snorkelling , warm water, temperature was always 29 degrees, a very warm breeze, and no rain.The resort is extremely clean , the bathrooms spotless, and our room was very clean every day.The staff are fluent in at least 3-5 languages, English, Spanish, Dutch, Some German and some french. There was never a communication problem.Any problem we had with the new room was fixed within hours. The staff were very friendly.
However the buffet was awful. The staff would take forever to bring coffee cups, and coffee, until people decided to get it themselves. The buffet consisted of 1 aisle. The food was most always cold, or warm at the most. Salad bar and deserts were non-existed. No pasta station, no carving station. No desert station, 2 soup containers with floating grease or oil. Thankfully there was 1 sole who could make an omelette and fry an egg. The food was constantly recycled into another leftover the next day.For the money we paid it was a 2+ at the best. Some Melias in Cuba had better food , and that's not saying much.The a la carte's were a little better, but while the main meat was warm and veggies or side was always cold.
The capital is beautiful, clean, safe, and a major cruise port.
Would I go back. No, Would I recommend it, No.
If you want to spend $8,000.00 simply go elsewhere.

Sunscape Curacao Resort: Wonderful Vacation
This is a beautiful resort, bearing in mind that all the beaches are 'man made'. Sunscape is kept very clean and we found the staff, for the most part, to be very friendly. Carolina (F&B) is absolutely the BEST! Very friendly and attentive; Cornella was our bartender in the 8000 units and she was amazing also. The gal at the entrance of the buffet (forgotten her name) is very professional and attentive also. The food here is a '3'. It's pretty much the same day to day - in the buffet. Resta[... read more]urants are first come, first serve, as opposed to having to make reservations. We didn't have any trouble getting into all of these; some more than once. Entertainment does leave something to be desired however, we don't go for the evening activities so much. The lobby cafe and bar is smaller than most we've been to and the "international" liquors didn't include what my husband preferred (Canadian Club, or Crown Royal, Rye??). Madelaine was instrumental in helping us find some, after a few days. Overall, we were there for 10 days and loved our time away from the winter!

Courtyard Bonaire Dive Resort: Great Location!
This hotel is ideally situated centrally on the island, close to downtown, central to all shore dive locations and near supermarkets and dive shops. There is abundant parking. Staff was always friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. If you are diving and staying at this hotel, it has a great rinsing station available 24 hours, lockers if you need them (free with a refundable deposit). You can dive with Dive Friends if you choose which is located on the resort. We chose to dive with AB Dive ins[... read more]tead, but the staff at Dive Friends we met were great. Some things to be aware of if you stay here. It is located near the airport. Planes are not a problem, but the airport fire department tests their equipment every morning between 7-7:30 am every morning. Not a problem for us because we were always up early, but may matter to some people. Could try to request staying in the north side rooms if a concern. Our room on the second floor had no places to hang or dry wet bathing suits, dive shirts or towels. We got pretty creative which meant things were hanging everywhere. Some of the rooms on ground level have chairs outside for drying.

Sunscape Curacao Resort: relaxing resort
Love the beach, pools ok, same food repeating at buffet and restaurants weekly, buffet servers slow and not attentive, ask for a spoon and you'll be left to get your own on more than one occasion, miss the weekly treats at the beach grill, like no steak sandwiches, beer treat in boat and pyaya, casino is outdated and machines are like vacuums with your $,
The people are hard working but need more training and help, they are for the most part very accommodating and pleasant (just not so much in[... read more] the buffet!)
Would return and recommend to anyone, just don't expect 5 or 4 star.

Sunscape Curacao Resort: Lots of better options in that area!
I’m not planning to write in details, cause I think tripadvisor is better place to write in. But about the trip, ocean was perfect, sandy white beach and blue water, gorgeous weather and amazing sunshine were the best part of the trip. Resort was tired! Buildings go back to 1960s! There is something wrong with almost most of the rooms! Old design and bathrooms and rooms, very simple, no hairdryer, defective safe, hot water goes cold every few minutes! You have to wait for it to come back! Rest[... read more]aurants are all simple boring foods, pastries are garbage, no major change in them, everyday the same! Japanese restaurant probably is the best but just book it and see, it’s funny comparing to my other experiences! 10 minutes cooking rice and 3 meats and done. Sit and eat it and go! Staff are nice but like most of South American people not into service and working. You gotta beg for service. Ice cream is available from 12:30 to 3:30 !! Which is still funny and that 3 hours not even available. They either go out of cone, or ice cream or the ice cream is too hard to serve! Lol they prepare seats for outside twice the week but it’s just good for the first 50 people Lool the rest have to take the food outside and go sit inside to eat. Generally you cannot eat the chef’s bbqs! All super over well done! No juice or taste remains. Even burgers are not eatable! I can write pages and pages.

Divi Flamingo Beach Resort and Casino: Peaceful paradise during the day, but after dark....
This is a small piece of peaceful paradise during the day but depending on what area you are staying in it becomes impossible to sleep. I had to wear earplugs every night and my partner was up most nights. The only draw back to this resort is if you are staying in the studios with kitchenettes, they are close to the street, our room backed onto it. As soon as the sun set the road noise started. Cars squealing tires, loud mufflers and loud motor bikes of all types. There were 2 nights where th[... read more]e locals had street parties not far away, with blaring music until 3am. The weekends were the worst. That being said the resort was clean and well maintained for an older resort. We only ate once in Chibi Chibi one of the a la carte restaurants. The meal was over priced and the quality was ok. I don't like eating over cooked frozen veggies in a restaurant. For the most part we ate in our room. The kitchenette was well equipped for a weeks stay but wash everything before you use it. We found dirty glasses and containers. The blender is for drinks only. I tried to make guacamole but it just wouldn't work. The BBQ is handy too but go early it gets busy. The snorkeling is the best I've done. I've scuba dived in the past but was very happy just to relax and snorkel. The raised sand area was very nice but there is not real beach. The only draw back was on our last day more guests had arrived and there weren't enough spots on the sand area to sit after everyone else put there towels out and walked away for the day. You are also close to the grocery stores. We preferred the Van Den Tweel. It has an excellent selection and I have food sensitivities so I could find excellent gluten free foods, tofu and dairy free foods too. We would go back to Bonaire but unfortunately due to the noise not the resort.

Sunscape Curacao Resort: Mediocre at best!
The hotel itself was clean. It could use some updating but this is to be expected for the age of the resort. The grounds were well kept. The beach area was gorgeous. The snorkeling was amazing...just like being in an aquarium. And now the ugly...the staff were miserable, except for LaToya at the Sugar Reef bar. She was always smiling and went out of her way to serve us. However every other employee made us feel like we were an inconvenience to them. The food was not impressive at all. We wouldn'[... read more]t recommend this resort, and would not return ourselves.

Sunscape Curacao Resort: Not a 4 star resort barely a 3
This resort needs a lot of work to be granted a 4star rating.
Food is very reptious and boring.
Every once in a while there was things very good but never saw them again over 10 days
Restaurant staff do not seem to be happy and never smile.
Too many nights waiting 2 hours to receive your meal which was always cold.
Beach was great but pools full of noisy kids.

Sunscape Curacao Resort: Good but not great
This is not a 4 star resort but enjoyed our vacation.
Check in was fast and easy and our luggage was taken promptly to our room.The room was in The Tower and was large and newly renovated.Down side was the thermostat was broken with no replacement available.We kept the patio door open most of the time to heat the room up.
The fridge was not working but fixed promptly. The tub drain would not close but really not a problem for me.Learning how to use the shower was an interesting time.Housek[... read more]eeping on a couple of days came after 5 on a couple of days so just asked for extra towels.
Was disappointed there wasn’t an adult pool but spent all our time at the beach anyway.The water is so clear you don’t need to snorkel to see the fish.Never had a problem getting beach towels or a spot in the shade.
Very few people towel reserved chairs.
The food was “resort foodâ€but could always find something to eat at the buffet.
Did not like the lunch at the beach but in the evening the food was much better.
I had steak and ribs and both were very good.Service is always touch and go.
The Japanese restaurant was very good.
The Italian was a disappointment the first time we tried it.Over 21/2 hours to serve dinner but the second time was better.
I was disappointed in the lobby bar.Just a couple of tables with plastic chairs but assume most sit around the pool after dinner.
It is a small resort with everything around the pool area.
The bar tenders were all friendly and efficient and the servers could take lessons from them.
The entertainment was hit and miss ,The carnival night and fire show were good.
If you just want to experience the island it is a good resort.If you are looking for a true 4 star this is not for you.
