Curacao Marriott Beach Resort

This resort was beautiful, immaculate, and breathtaking. The staff here went above and beyond to make our stay so wonderful (including Chata, Oswaldo, Marie, Morris, and Lee to name a few!). Everyone was genuinely warm and welcoming. We will definitely be back!

The hotel service was excellent in all areas, very friendly and attentive (special mention to Emelton). We loved the tranquility of the adults-only pool and the yoga classes on the beach with Janina. At breakfast, they need to improve the description of the items to show if they contain allergens such as milk and gluten. The staff ended up giving incorrect answers and I got sick twice.

The resort has a fantastic atmosphere. It is large enough to offer guests plenty of services, amenities, restaurants, and activities, yet small enough that you can easily walk around and always feel close to the water, beach, or pool. What is especially is how well the resort works for all ages and generations. Kids, adults, and families can all find something to enjoy, while the overall atmosphere remains relaxed and welcoming. There is also a great dive shop nearby, car rental service, and small shops where you can pick up anything you may have forgotten or simply want during your stay.

This is the only Marriott hotel I’ve stayed at where my experience was just “meh”—not the worst, but definitely not the best either. Some of the staff seemed like they were just there… yeah, just there, without really doing much. I also don’t think the SOPs were consistently followed or applied to all guests. When we arrived and checked in, we weren’t given welcome drinks or the white refillable water bottles. We only noticed the welcome drinks when we saw other guests arriving with theirs. We also didn’t know about the refillable bottles until one of the servers told us that they should have been provided to us instead of us buying bottled water. I’m not particularly fussy about housekeeping. If we’re staying in the room most of the day, we usually skip cleaning and tell the cleaners they can skip our room as well. But on our third day, we went out to the beach, and I specifically told the cleaners that we would be out so they could clean our room. When we came back around 5 PM, the room was still not cleaned. I had to call the front desk. We were actually trying to get ready for dinner at 7 PM at Boase, so we had to wait for the room to be cleaned. They didn’t start cleaning until around 5:30 PM, and at that point, I was worried we were going to be late for dinner. On our last day, I honestly didn’t expect much. After checking out, I brought the car around to the front while my husband was finishing the checkout process. We had two large suitcases and two carry-on bags. I didn’t really need help putting our luggage in the car, but the two bellmen just stood there and stared at me—no gesture or indication that they were willing to help. Honestly, even just the gesture would have been enough, and I probably would have said no anyway. But for Marriott, that’s not the level of service I’ve come to expect. Overall, the experience wasn’t terrible, but there were several small things throughout our stay that made it feel inconsistent and below the standard I normally associate with Marriott.

We had such a great day at the Marriott. The location is beautiful. The grounds are just breathtaking. Extremely clean property. The pools and the property are thoroughly cleaned every single day. The lobby is beautiful. The beach is wavy, but also very great to swim in. Crystal clear, blue waters the service and the attention to detail is amazing. A special shout out to Jaymy! He made our stay super special with the service and smile. Thank you Jaymy! The reception that was held for Marriott members was spectacular. We enjoyed every minute of our stay at Marriott. Thank you.
