Amazing resort

The property was very well maintained, clean and restaurants were efficient. Pools and beach were amazing our room was also very good. Staff very polite and at tentative, given pool towels made it easier and cleaner. The sunsets are absolutely stunning

Top Notch Resort. Amazing

The hotel was absolutely amazing. Had every amenity, two pools, right on private beach. The staff were absolutely the best. We did have a personal issue which the hotel addressed immediately. Madeline the manager was very accessible and addressed our concern with respect and immediately. Thank you for a great experience. We would definitely return. A little outside main town but exactly what we needed. Very easy to get downtown.

Newly refurbished resort and they've done a fantastic job.

This resort has recently been refurbished and the results are amazing. The staff are excellent, the beach is wonderful (even some reasonable snorkeling) and the grounds are immaculate. They have several restaurants but not a big difference in levels of quality/ambience. There are very few off-premise restaurants that are within walking distance but there are a couple that offer a good change in menu. Everything was exceptional with no complaints, except one. The only option for breakfast  [... read more]is a $26 buffet. While it is an excellent buffet, we really don't want, or need, such a huge breakfast everyday. If they had a menu option available it would be much better. Otherwise you can only purchase a croissant or muffin which isn't really "vacation" food. If you are looking for a quality, relatively quiet place with excellent service, then I would recommend the Marriott. PS there is no casino at the Marriott but there is one next door at Dreams.

Sunscape Resort - Great Place to Stay

Just returned from a week at the Sunscape Resort in Curacao. The entire experience was awesome. Five great restaurants - Italian, Seafood, Japanese, Steak and Ribs and as always the all inclusive buffet. Surprising the Blue Water Grill which had the most amazing served beef tenderloin (in various presentations) at lunch and dinner every day. The food was delicious and ample and was only exceeded by the fantastic service. The automatic response from all the staff to the question was always " [... read more]Excellent" - and they are truly genuine in their pleasure to be there and serve our requirements. The only issue we encountered was at the buffet where the level of service dropped off towards the end of the week. The resort itself, although it has been around for a while, was very clean both in the rooms and on the grounds. The beach was well groomed with beautiful white sand with a break wall that kept the choppy waters of the ocean away from shore. Temperature was constant 78-84 around the clock and although we went during the rainy season we had one downpour on one morning for about 20 minutes. Before we left the weather forecast indicated cloudy all week - there were clouds that were constant but intermittent in nature and were a welcome break from the mostly sunny skies. We have been to Aruba, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Martin, Cancun, Cuba and the Dominican Republic - Curacao was by far the best vacation yet.

Nice hotel

We did like the hotel, the gardens were well kept, the property was tidy and the overall place was clean. Sure the rooms are tired but the bed was comfortable and clean. Realistically you're not in your room for a long time your there to enjoy the weather and beach. However we had seen some negative reviews on the dining at this Marriot but we decided to go ahead with our trip as planned. We really should have paid closer attention to those reviews. We had opted for the "all inclusive" plan so w [... read more]e wouldn't have to pay for our meals, alcohol, or anything else. The breakfast buffet was good and Cerita and Gechi made us feel welcome every time we went for breakfast. They get a big thumbs up from us. Chris at the Emerald Lounge also was great to talk to and was helpful with our various questions about the island. Monique our server at the Palm Cafe was terrific! We told her we were renting a car and she gave us directions to go to various places on the island and was also very attentive to our ordering preferences. Now as I said the breakfast buffet was good, the lunch menu at Palm Cafe is OK but very limited. Dinner at the Emerald Lounge was not good at all. We ordered nachos with chicken and beef and had to send them back because the chips were stale and the beef looked like it came out of a can. Then we tried the pizza the same night. It was ok but really could have been cooked longer but we didn't send it back because we were starving. Another night we decided to try the "Marriot" burger. We were asked how we wanted it cooked and I replied medium well. It came to us a little charred on each side and bloody in the middle. How can someone screw up cooking a burger? Well their cook did. Then we tried Portofino's. First time it was edible but not great. Second time the ribeye was severely undercooked and sent back. It returned slightly more cooked but was so tough it couldn't be eaten. When you spend a lot of money for and all inclusive trip you expect to have decent meals to eat. It's pretty bad that you have to go offsite to get a good meal when you've already paid for it.
