Curacao Marriott Beach Resort

We fled The Reef at Blue Bay Beach Resort and the Marriott saved our vacation! We arrived at the Marriott in a frantic state after a horrible experience at Blue Bay. This resort is gorgeous! Our rooms were large and very clean, the showers are large, too. The beach is gorgeous, there is amazing snorkeling right off the beach along the reef, we saw the same marine life at our beach that we saw scuba diving off of a beach reef at Porto Mari, if not better marine life. You have the option of two pools or the beach, you cannot go wrong with any choice. The staff is wonderful, helpful and kind. We had the breakfast buffet in the mornings, and it offered a wide variety of food, it was delicious, and again the staff is wonderful! The drinks are yummy! We loved having mojitos on the beach every day. The beach bar has yummy items for lunch. On Monday evenings a guitarist comes and plays at the lounge, he is outstanding, would recommend having cocktails at lounge and listening to him. The only sort of concern I would say is to pay attention to the cruise schedule. Cruise people buy passes and come to the Marriott beach, so get down to the pool or beach early and grab a seat before they are gone when the cruises come into port. I would 10 out of 10 recommend and will come back in a heartbeat. Thank you Marriott Beach Resort for saving our family vacation.

We had an unforgettable stay at the Curaçao Marriott Beach Resort. The service went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. Jayme made the most incredible cocktails and gave us outstanding service every time. He made us feel completely taken care of and made our evenings extra special. Ingrid was equally amazing, always making sure our morning coffee and snacks were perfect and ready. She made our mornings feel warm and welcoming. Both Jayme and Ingrid are a testament to the resort’s outstanding service. They made us feel like family, and we are so grateful for everything they did. They deserve to be recognized and rewarded. We cannot wait to come back!

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!
