We loved that it was right over the water, and the easy beach access, and the restaurant on site. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was also a good size. We appreciated having kitchen amenities and a roomy balcony. NOTE: My daughter stayed in a different room on the property and her rooms weren't quite as big and she didn't have the same amenities, so all rooms here are not created equal. (hers was still nice, but not as nice as mine)

The view and sleeping to the sound of waves was worth the minor inconveniences like a lukewarm shower and having to drive 1/2 mile down road to get key for check-in. The cleanliness was questionable, as one shower towel looked liked it was used as a dusting rag. Also, i had to dust the hair and light dust/debris from my sheets and pillows. The place has ants that appear instantly and killed a medium-sized roach. Next time, i’ll stay in a newer resort with hot shower, but the location was perfect for enjoying the best beaches. Go to the grocery store before you arrive to this part of island.

The view was great. Just above the ocean. The apartment was clean. Sitting at the balcony was nice if not for the sand flies in the evening.

Fabulous view, great overall
Overall a great stay, would highly recommend! We had some internet issues and saw a couple of cockroaches, but the apartment was very clean and had the most amazing view! The beach under the apartment is really nice to swim at, too.

Great location, so-so unit
The room is worn down, and we saw two huge cockroaches (and I mean huge). The view from the room is great, and you can hear the waves 24 hours a day! It's also located close to a number of great beaches. This is the more remote area of the island, so just beware that there are no big grocery stores for example nearby, and plan ahead.

2-Nights at Blue View Apts.
Stayed two nights there. The balcony and the view overlooking the ocean are as nice as they look in the pictures. The manager at the check-in (at Rancho Sobrino) was very friendly and helpful with guidebooks and recommendations on beaches etc. My friend was arriving late on a flight and they let me pick up the key for him. Bear in mind that the location is as far from "downtown" as you can get on the island. But there's a beach a mile or so away where you can swim with the sea turtles and it's located right by the dive/snorkel shops. So if your there for those types of things it's perfect. The rooms were basic but had a Fridge and stovetop.

The Blue View Apartments has one of the best views within feet of Playa Forti. We saw a Sea Horse and a Spotted Moray Eel at the beach. The staff was awesome and extremely helpful. Ask for matches (gas stove) and sponges (if none). There are three restaurant/bars near the Apartment. The Apt. had some old building problems that they assured us they would fix. We live in an 15 - 20 year old town home back home and are used to it. Once you understand the quirks, you create work-arounds to the minor problems and you appreciate the view. Don't forget to gas up (2 gas stations on the way) and grocery shop at Centrum (don't forget dish soap, soap, and shampoo) near the Airport before you go. This is more for those you like nature and animals because there are few restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, and bars at Subana Westpunt. Also, head towards Soto b/c they are doing construction on the road near Christoffel Park. Another helpful tip - go to the Apt in the afternoon. and turn on the AC then go to the bar/restaurant and get something cold while the room cools off from the hot summer day. Last tip - You actually check in at Rancho El Sobrino not at the Blue View Apts. It probably tells you but we missed that detail. Have a great vacation!

Location / View
Location and view are great. You will be on the quiet end of the island. Should be looking for that if staying here. Good places to snorkel nearby, can right here also, just seemed to be too much garbage from place on the point here that was a little disappointing. Had problem with a/c on arrival and next day. Not treated greatly by afternoon staff that day -- kind of on your own here. Office staff and other staff down the road a little ways. Great to be right on the water!

The Blue View is just that.
Loved this place right on the cliff overlooking a small beach. Few amenities but not crowded and very quiet. No rental chairs or bar service if that is what you like. The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed. Hope to return someday.

Gorgeous views, nice and quiet side of the island. The only qualm I would have is that the AC is weak, and there were several large cockroaches. I'm from Chicago so I know large roaches, these were enormous.

The ocean view
The Blue View Appartments allow you to enjoy the most beautiful ocean view. Your balcony is great to witness the sunsets in the Carrabean sea. Appartments are large but very plain. Service was not really present. During the last day of our stay we had a serious leakage from the shower from our upstairs neighbours.

Paid for what we got. Not really like the pictures, but no bugs and great view. Nearby beaches are the best on the island. Don't pay for the snorkeling tour with scuba company down the road. Restraunt is overpriced with not very good food, much better food and cheaper and nearby restraunts at play forte and Jaunchie's. Definitely need to rent a car. Do not purchase insurance through a third party website for your vehicle, because the car companies do not accept the insurnace and will make you pay or it anyways.

Great home base for exploring.
Perfect spot to feel at home while on vacation. The beds were a bit hard and furnishings were cheap but the location and view made up for those small things by far. The staff at the mother resort were outstanding. Especially Elvira, who went out of her way to make our stay perfect. We'll definately return to the Blue View and beautiful Curacao.

Breathtaking views
There are no phones in the room or clocks. Travel with an alarm clock and rent a car as when you do need something, you have to go to the sister hotel which would be a 10 minute walk down the street. Also, ask for a bed spread or comforter for your bed, otherwise you will just receive a top sheet. The views were breathtaking and wonderful beaches exist nearby.

The Blue View is a sapphire in the rough!
The Blue View is a blue sapphire in the rough! A simply gorgeous setting at the top of a cliff dropping into the ocean, the views are spectacular! The iguana population is plentiful and a flock of green parrots flies by every evening before sunset. The simple but spacious rooms are all we needed for a week of snorkeling and exploring beautiful Curacao. The staff was most helpful and watching the native families join together to fish the cove in the evenings was icing on the cake! Meals on the balcony watching the sun set will be memories we cherish for the rest of our lives...

Positives : der einzigartiger Ausblick bemühtes Personal und Management ( wenn auch nicht gegenüber jedermann, wie wir wissen ) sehr geräumige Zimmer Negatives : Geräuschpegel in den Zimmern, wegen schlechter oder mangelhafter Schallisolierung ( insbesondere die Holztreppen und Holzdecken über dem Apartment ) -so weiss man immer was die Nachbarn gerade machen, auch zu den Nacht - und Ruhezeiten ! Optisches Bild der Küche ( billigste Möbel ! ) und des Balkones ( man hat auf dem Balkon den Eindruck, als wäre dieser noch im Bau befindlich, - Fliesenboden abs. mangelhaft / Installation der AC ) über drei Tage lärmende und nicht funktionierende AC ! in Teilbereichen mangelhafte Sauberkeit der Bettwäsche Fazit : das Preis / Leistungsverhältnis stimmt nie und nimmer ( 112. - Euro ohne Verpflegung per Nacht ), - da kann man mehr erwarten !! Den Tauchbetrieb können wir nicht beurteilen, - nach Absprache mit anderen Gästen muss dies aber auch nicht der ' Hit ' gewesen sein ! Im Blue View wird mit sehr wenig Einsatz sehr viel Geld verdient und noch in eigener Sache, darauf lege ich Wert : Die Volieren für die von Euch ' gehaltenen ' Raubvögeln sind viel zu klein, - der offensichtliche Zustand des Seeadlers ist erbärmlich !! ........ Schade !!

Hallo, Vielen Dank, dass du dir die Zeit genommen hast uns eine Bewertung zu schreiben. Es tut uns sehr leid, dass ihr unseren Urlaub bei uns in den Blue View Apartments nicht geniessen konntet. Das Haus ist, wie du richtig sagst aus Holz gebaut, da es auf Curacao nur selten genehmigungen fuer Bauten aus Stein gibt. Tatsaechlich haben wir diese grade bekommen und bauen ab naechstem Monat die Blue View Apartments komplett neu um. Es gibt natuerlich auch andere Meerblick Apartments auf Curacao, allerdings sind diese Apartments deutlich kostspieliger, trotzdem tut es uns leid, dass ihr dies nicht aus ausreichend empfunden habt. Einen Seeadler haben wir nicht in einem Kaeftig, genrell haben wir nur die heimischen Wara-Wara Voegel und Wellensittiche. Bei den Wara-Wara voegeln ist es so, dass diese mit der Hand grossgezogen worden sind und diese deshalb nicht alleine jagen koennen. Wir haben sie schon freigelassen allerdings kommen sie immer wieder zurueck auf der Suche nach Essen und stehen dabei auch gerne den Gaesten etwas von den Tellern, deshalb sind sie wieder eingezaeunt. Eingezaeunt sind auch nur die Voegel, die tatsaechlich hilfe brauchen, solltest du also wirklich einen Vogel gesehen haben, dem es nicht gut geht, dann nicht weil er in diesem Kaeftig lebt sondern weil ihn das Leben draussen so mitgenommen hat. Wir peppeln Voegel normalerweise wieder auf und lassen Sie dann wieder raus. Ob sie wieder kommen oder nicht ist ihre eigene Entscheidung... Sonnige Gruesse

We verbleven hier 7 nachten in de eenvoudige studio die compleet en eenvoudig is ingericht. Met een goed bed met klamboe, ingerichte keuken, handdoeken en strandlakens en een airco en vriendelijke medewerkers. En idd zoals te lezen is in sommige reviews is de weg er naar toe donker, zijn er geen grote supermarkten en winkels, is de WiFi soms wat matig en is er wat geluid vanuit het restaurant BUT WHO CARES! You are at the caribian! Het uitzicht, de rust, de prachtige omgeving, de mooie stranden en de zonsondergangen maken alles de moeite waard ❤️ Curacao Dus het is zeker een aanrader om naar dit mooie plekje te gaan!!

Das Appartment ist gelinde gesagt eine Bruchbude.
Die Ausstattung lässt zu wünschen übrig. Als erstes begrüßten uns die dort wohnenden Kakerlaken. Wenig Geschirr und Küchenzubehör. Die Balkontür ist defekt, beim öffnen derselbigen werden die Zimmernachbarn aus dem Bett fallen. Das gleiche trifft auf die Eingangstür vom Appartment zu. Als wir angekommen sind herrschte in dem Appartment eine unwahrscheinliche Hitze. Die Klimaanlage ist ein Witz und zudem direkt über dem Bett angebracht. Diese soll ja laut Personal nur laufen wenn sich jemand im Zimmer befindet, da sie aber zu wenig kühlt dauert es Stunden bis es im Appartment einigermaßen verträgliche Temperaturen hat, so läuft sie die ganze Nacht und an Schlaf ist nicht zu denken. Wenn die Klimaanlage tagsüber läuft und man nicht da ist soll man 20,00 Dollar pro Tag dafür bezahlen. Sowas ist unverschämt. Würde die Klimaanlage richtig funktionieren müsste man sie nicht Tag und Nacht laufen lassen.ES sollte aller 5 Tage ein Handtuch und Bettzeug Wechsel stattfinden, diesen Service durften wir einmal in Anspruch nehmen. Ich denke das in 2 Wochen auch zweimal die Handtücher und das Bettzeug gewechselt werden sollte. Sauberer war es hinterher auch nicht. Zur Anmerkung wir waren nicht das erste mal auf Curacao aber so schlecht haben wir noch nie gewohnt. Diese Anlage werden wir nicht weiterempfehlen Mit freundlichen Grüßen Klaus Rolle

Traumhaftes Apartment
Wir haben sehr schöne Tage in diesem traumhaften Apartment gehabt. Es ist groß, sauber und es ist alles da um sich selbst zu verpflegen. Beim Check In war unser Zimmer leider noch belegt durch eine sehr unfreundliche Deutsche die weder den Late Check Out angemeldet oder gar bezahlt hat. Man muss sich immer Häufiger für uns deutsche im Ausland schämen. Wir haben direkt ein anderes Zimmer bekommen und konnten uns nur für das Verhalten der Dame nur schämen. Ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen und werde aufjedenfall wieder kommen.

Eingeschränkt empfehlenswert
Durch die starken Regenfälle und die Lage kam es häufig zu Stromausfällen, die teilweise erst am nächsten Tag behoben werden konnten. Die Mitarbeiter waren hingegen sehr serviceorientiert und auch das Restaurant im zugehörigen El Sobrillo ist sehr zu empfehlen. Für Leute, die keinen grossen Komfort erwarten und den ganzen Tag unterwegs zum Tauchen sind, ok.

Traumhafte Aussicht von Terrasse...
Sehr gute Lage direkt in der Klippe der Playa Forti. Von der Terrasse hat man eine sehr schöne Aussicht auf den Ozean mit Westausrichtung, d.h. Sunset-Stimmung ist jeden Abend angesagt. Auf dem Balkon sonnen sich tagsüber Leguane (die tuen nichts). Die Playa Forti ist nicht der schönste Badestrand - baden und sonnen ist aber gut möglich. Die schöneren Buchten wie Kalki, Große Knip, Jeremia usw. können schnell erreicht werden. Unser Appartement war sauber und geräumig aber eher zweckmäßig. Man kann keinen Luxus erwarten. Mietwagen ist sehr empfehlenswert um mobil zu sein (Strände, Einkaufen usw.). Blue View gehört eigentlich zum Hotel Rancho el Sobrino. Das kann man in ca. 2 min zu Fuß erreichen. Wenn man keine Lust hat selbst zu kochen kann man dort z.B. im Restaurant gut und günstig essen gehen. Die Küche ist ausreichen ausgestattet: Kühlschrank mit Gefrierer, Gasherd mit 4 Platten, 3 Töpfe, Bratpfanne, Täler, Tassen, Besteck ... uns hat nichts gefehlt.
