Otrobanda Vacations from $932

Susan was very helpful at our arrival and with responding to questions throughout our trip. There's been recent construction on a beach club that has changed the view of the ocean from the advertising in the pictures. Less open ocean and rock and more palm trees, still pretty and tropical. Swimming in the ocean at this property was not something we did during our trip as the ocean was very choppy and turbulent from the weather. You absolutely need to rent a car if staying at this location if you want to go beyond Mambo beach. I would advise this property is best for adults rather than children unless you upgrade to the VIP balcony suites or the Villas. You have to communicate with them in advance that you will need twin beds instead of King size. The villas are at a different location. Make sure to carefully review the description of what is included in the room type you are reserving. The pictures are a mix of all the properties: standard room, balcony room and villa.

We had a wonderful stay at Curaçao Gardens for our honeymoon. Walking distance to shopping and souvenir shops including the beautiful Hulanda Village. Our plunge pool was cool and refreshing after a long day out on the town or by the ocean. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We suggest going next door to Maira's for breakfast or dinner, the owner is very kind and the food is spectacular. All around a great visit for these Americans.

Limited transportation and the room and bathroom is not clean. Plenty of hair all over. Really disappointed and disgusting

No direct access to the beach; the one available thru a partnering hotel is very small. The images and promotional videos are deceiving. The room was great, but the positive review stop there. The most striking part of the resort is the staff; only a few of the members maintained a positive attitude. Most of the staff was very dry with some being rude. Not the usual caribbean atmosphere.
