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.

Sonesta Maho Beach: Beautiful resort

The hotel is very nice. The staff were amazing. The location of the hotel is perfect close to everything. We enjoyed the food and look forward to returning. Highly recommend to all my friends It was a nice touch to be greeted with a rum punch My only complaint is that there was no hot water in our room

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.

Esmeralda Resort: Agreed; Amazing Resort

All was spectacularly good, Resort, Astrolabe, staff. This was mine 29th visit to Saint Martin and although the first time without my dear departed wife, Jana, the stay was good, very good. Will certainly consider another visit to Esmeralda if .. (90 in Jan, however consider lasting to 100).

Sunscape Curacao Resort: Relaxing stay

Overall this was a very nice place. Grate for snorkeling in a controlled area restaurants were very good. Rooms very clean and comfortable. Live music was nice. Nice getaway. City was beautiful and people were friendly. Definitely going back!

Mangrove Beach Corendon Curacao: Amazing resort

I can not say enough about this hotel. Food was amazing, buffet had a great variety of food. The staff was all amazing. Will be returning back soon!! The beach was clean the pool was clean. This was an excellent resort to stay.

The Rif at Mangrove Bch Corendon Curacao: Wow!

What a great trip! Everything about Curacao was amazing. The resort was great and have no complaints worth dwelling upon! It fit our style of vacation perfectly including less crowds, quiet , great food and stellar ambiance! Having the ability to venture next door for night entertainment was a huge plus!

Mangrove Beach Corendon Curacao: Enjoyable vacation @ Mangrove Beach Corendon

The hotel room was clean with cold working A/C.Housekeeping was excellent and serviced the rooms early. The grounds were clean and the large pool was always clean. Food was good but more self serve and slow to clean plates from table. The beach and pool bar was a disappointment. No blended drive, extremely slow service. The lobby bar service was quicker. The beach was clean and swept daily, no rush to reserve loungers. Half the beach was rocky (in the water) and the other half was sandy. The wa [... read more]terpark was a hit, although the yellow slide wasnt working during my stay. The À la carte resturants were good, we tried BBQ, Turkish, Mexican (not good, no flavour) and Italian. Summary: good hotel, decent food, bring water shoes and enjoy

Mangrove Beach Corendon Curacao: A restful resort

Everything about the resort was good. Relaxing and it gave us a chance to recharge. The pool was amazing and the sunsets were awesome. We had a wonderful full day island tour with an amazing host. We learned alot about the history of the island. The weather was extraordinary.

Sunscape Curacao Resort: 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.

Mangrove Beach Corendon Curacao: Not what expeted

At arrival we were greeted with cold drink, the check in was quick but not friendly.The first room we received was 1st floor above the lobby by the elevator facing the parking lot, the ants were celebrating on the balcony. Than we switch building, no guidance just pointing were to go, it took us frustrated 10 minutes to find the room.(we are 76 year old). Cleaning: when we were out the whole day it wasn’t clean, just fixing the bed and emptying the trash, but the last 3 days we came after 3:00 [... read more] and stayed on the balcony when they came and it was perfectly clean. Food: was ok, the only thing is most of the time was cold. But you can always find something to eat. No service at the buffet restaurant, do it yourself. The outside beach is nice, but bring water shoes, small rocks in the water. The Cabanas and Palaps cost money, only the 6.5ft umbrellas are free. Weather at this time is rainy, but we managed to enjoy the water in between, that’s what we came for.

Acoya Curacao Resort Villas and Spa: PARADISE INCURACAO

As a solo older traveler, I spent a week enjoying the hospitality of this family run resort. It is a beautiful resort where the grounds are neat and clean. It has a lovely pool with two Jacuzzi areas.( needs maintenance as the jets weren't working.) It also has a lagoon. The Villa rooms are awesome and spacious, and I stayed in a small room that was adequate, The beds are very comfortable and the down feather pillows are the size of huge clouds. The best. They ask that you do not through paper [... read more] into the toilets. Meaning be conservative with toilet tissue and other paper/tissue products go in the garbage. Bravo for them to be contentious of waste and avoid major maintenance issues. I fully respect this OVERALL. Great stay for a quite slice of heaven away from the normal AI huge resort vibe. Enjoyment of the sunshine warm air and CURACAO hospitality. The Bar area is great for a quick bite and even dinner. There is some entertainment during dinner hours and at 8.00pm there is a 10 minute light show to music which also changes. Was very pretty to watch, underneath the swaying palm trees. During my stay it was not crowded and ample beach chairs and bali beds around the pool. And there was no loud music and everybody was respectful of the environment. This is a great family oriented quite hotel.( I'm sure it gets busy later in the season. The Bar staff very youthful and attentive. I must say I also liked that all food and drinks were served on porcelain and glass which is great for reducing garbage and it is classy. Reception desk was always helpful and friendly. Housekeeping was fine but sometimes missing attention to detail. E.i A neighbor villa left dishes on their terrace and was not cleaned for 2 days. The location is great as your 5kms from Willemstad and yes I did walk there and back, once. Your 5 minutes from the Ocean. The shuttle bus will take you into town, beach and supermarket. The small fridge I had was great. The air conditioner was cold. This budget hotel is great if you want a place that is clean, efficient and central. It caters to those that use it as a starting point for exploring the island, they do have ample parking for cars. It's great for long term stays at it has full kitchen villas It has a good meal plan with various options which I opted out. Yes I would recommend this hotel but you are a specific traveler as stated above.

Acoya Curacao Resort Villas and Spa: Great Resort

This hotel is perfect if you plan to tour the Island. The food is very good at the Acoya. The staff were all very friendly. I booked the rental car at the hotel, Sunil was great to deal with, very easy and convenient booking at the hotel. This my third trip booked through Trip Central. Beth was great, she knew the Island and what we were looking for. Great recommendation!

Mangrove Beach Corendon Curacao: Great Resort

The hotel was nice, there was some construction, but it was their low season. The food was great, with a variety of food selection at the buffet and a la cart options. The staff was amazing and the service superb.

Sonesta Ocean Point Resort: Beautiful views of islands

The Ocean point hotel was nice. It’s an older resort the rooms and especially the bathrooms could use a refresher, of paint. The restaurants were just ok Azul was one of our favourites. There were several pools but some are shared with the Maho hotel which is a family resort, which are also shared with some restaurants. On the Adult only side there was only 1 pool with a swim up bar. The other issue we found was the washrooms were far away from the pools. The views of the ocean and mountains w [... read more]ere amazing. This is not a 5 star resort as listed it’s more like a 3 star. All and all we had a good time and the outside area around the resort is very safe and the shopping was good.
