A nice place to relax

We really liked the kindness of the staff. The 2 beaches are fabulous. The room is nice and confortable, but I was expecting more luxury for the price paid. We enjoyed the variety and the quality of the food served at breakfast.

Loved the fact that the property was well maintained. Very historical. Staff greeted up with drinks. Check was so smooth. Room was clean, accessible. All facilities were well maintaned. Beach was incredible, especially because its insode the hotel and for public to gain access they must pay a day pass to use it. The beach is not rocky like your regular public beaches in Curacao. The location of this hotel was very convenient whether you rented a car, walked plenty of retaurants within distance. I stayed for my birthday weekend, and on my birthday when coming back to my room i found it decorated with balloons, towel cake and they also gifted me with 750ml of Cabernet Sauvignon. Check out was super convenient at 12pm as many other hotels nornally would do 11am. In all this hotel met my expectations andbwe will definitely visit again in the near futue with the kids.

The beach was lovely. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful (we were snowed out of our return flight & they set up in another room. The second room was much nicer, so I felt sad that I didn’t receive that room at first. I don’t think my Expedia VIP was helpful. I called the hotel for the second room and received a better rate. Food at hotel was very limited. Luckily there is a small restaurant area just down the street. Blount was amazing. We are there 3 times!

My girlfriend and I as well as my two friends stayed on vacation for the week of November, 30th to December, 7th 2024. From the moment that we checked in at the lobby, the staff at the front desk were very friendly and extremely courteous. This is the oldest hotel on Curacao and some of the history is on display with old photos and paintings in the lobby. Wonderful architecture and the layout of this resort is amazing. Our hotel room had plenty of space, the bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was amazing. Perfect water pressure and the unit had plenty of shelf, closet and drawer space. We had a small balcony that looked out over the pool and ocean. The room had a safe, mini-fridge and plenty of bathroom space. We were always well stocked with linens and towels. A nice touch is that they provide you with sunblock and inset repellent. For a point of reference, my group stayed at the Octagon Standard on the fourth floor. As far a restaurant options are concerned, we enjoyed the breakfast buffet at the Pen Restaurant and Terrace and snacks at the Schooner Bar. The staff at both facilities were very attentive and friendly. We didn’t get the chance to dine at the Blues Restaurant because it wasn’t open to suit our schedule. The only critique that I have is that less expensive options for breakfast and lunch aren’t available. What I really loved and enjoyed was the layout of the two beaches at Avila. Amazing snorkeling and over too crowded.
