Curacao Marriott Beach Resort

Our experience at this hotel was very hit or miss, depending on the day. I will start with the positives- the food is great. We really enjoyed all of our meals that we ate on property, especially in the Great Room. We do wish there were more options, especially since this hotel is not walking distance to any town, but the menus did offer a good variety. Additionally, the grounds are beautiful and clean- right on the beach, two gorgeous pools, and modern amenities. We also enjoyed the poolside activities they offered- bingo, water aerobics, beer pong. Now for the negatives- the service is not great. The energy of the staff is very laid back- no sense of urgency- and poor communication overall. The first day our hot water was not working- I asked the front desk to have someone look at it while we were out for the day, and when I returned no one had looked and it was not communicated that I had an issue with the water- disappointing. Service at the bar and restaurant was slow, many occasions we would ask for things (coffee, water, etc) and the staff would forget. The worst was when we got dinner at Mambo beach one night, and no taxis were available at the taxi stand for us to get home. We called the hotel to see if they could send us one and they told us we had to wait and they couldn’t send anyone- leaving us stranded! Another day we paid $10 to play tennis- it was supposed to come with water-bottles (it was very hot). They said they would bring them to us- we didn't receive them until 30 minutes after we started playing, which was only for an hour since it was so hot. Our view was also not great- we booked a partial ocean view, and we ended up overlooking a giant run down parking lot with a little bit of ocean. I would recommend booking the garden- seems much nicer than what we ended up with. There is also no shuttle or service offered by the hotel to get to williamstead, which I found to be disappointing. Renting a car in a foreign country isn’t always something you want to do, so I wish this was something they offered- the taxis could be expensive. Overall, I would note that this is not a 5 star hotel, service is slow and staff is lazy. However, the grounds are beautiful, food is good, and it is decently priced. Choice is yours!

Thank to Stephy, RJ, Emelton and the lovely lady Ingrid we had a very very nice holliday. We woud Realy come back next time we visite Curacao

We had such a wonderful time staying at the Curaçao Marriott Beach Resort. The whole experience really exceeded my expectations. The staff were genuinely kind and welcoming and it felt like they truly cared about making sure we were comfortable and happy throughout our stay. I just wanted to take a moment to commend Gelo from Salty Iguana for his outstanding service. From the moment we walked in, he was warm, attentive, and professional. He handled our requests with a genuine smile and made sure everything at our table was perfect. It’s clear that he takes pride in his work, and it really made our dining experience enjoyable. Honestly, everything just felt easy and relaxing, which is exactly what we needed. Thank you to everyone at the resort for making our trip so special. I’m already looking forward to coming back!

We had one of the best experiences, we were there for 5 days, 4 nights, we stayed at the Marriot in Curacao, our pool server Jamie was one of the best waiters, we only asked for him and he always delivered. He gave us the best places to go eat and explore. We’re obsessed with him. Thank you Jamie for making our experience one of the best ones.

This is our second time staying here and love it. We have two kids (4 and 6 and the proximity of pool and beach was so nice. The kids could go play in ocean and dig in the sand then jump in the pool later on. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff at the Salty Iguana (poolside service) were so lovely and friendly. They checked on our group throughout the day and were so nice to chat with. We loved Jaymy, Juliette, Maria, and a younger gentlemen whose named started with an S (I feel so bad I can’t remember his name). At the Front desk when checking in, Divinne was so helpful and accommodating providing his own reviews of the best beaches to visit and which were the more local ones. We had breakfast included with our reservation and the breakfast buffet at C-Spice was really good! They had a hot bar with an egg/omelette station and the two ladies made my over easy eggs perfectly every morning. The danishes and pastries were excellent! There’s something for everyone at this buffet. Servers and hosts were all very positive and friendly. Also loved the games the staff put on poolside in the afternoons. They were fun for our whole family and the three staff that facilitated them were energetic and fun! (Also can’t remember their names, one man and two women). My only gripe was the Kids club. They had one or two activities planned each day, one for morning and one for afternoon. (bracelet making, construction, glam spa day, etc) but they were of short duration. The downside is they kept the TV on most of the time so kids just zoned out in front of the screen to a cartoon. They provided one snack but didn’t provide ANY water for the kids, so our kids were parched when we picked them up a couple hours later. I found it odd they would provide a snack (cheezits or crackers) but not any water to drink. A couple of the staff were not too friendly, never a hello or a smile or greeting, just a stare. One of the older kids from our group reported that the two staff members just sat at the table scrolling their phones while all the kids watched tv. I asked one day to try to keep the tv off but when I came back to pick up the kids a couple hours later, all the kids were sat in front of it watching. I hope they will be more engaged with the kids in the future.
