Little Curaçao Vacations from $1,170

I chose the Royal Sea Aquarium Resort for a solo birthday trip, and overall I had a good experience. The location was convenient, and I appreciated the shuttle service, which offered rides to downtown Willemstad, the Curaçao sign, the Curaçao Liqueur Distillery, grocery stores, and evening trips into town. This was especially helpful since I did not rent a car. The staff was friendly and responsive throughout my stay. However, I was disappointed with the cleanliness of my room upon arrival. The shower curtain was dirty and needed to be replaced, and the condition of the bedding made me question whether the sheets had been changed before check-in. My concerns were addressed when I brought them to the staff's attention, but I believe housekeeping standards and room inspections could be improved. One of the highlights of my trip was Olas y Copas, the restaurant next to the resort. The food was excellent, the breakfast was very good, and Diego and his team were phenomenal. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. I also enjoyed visiting the Sea Aquarium. The interactive exhibits were fun and allowed visitors to get up close to the animals. One tip: if you participate in feeding the sharks, keep an eye on the birds. They are surprisingly aggressive and may take the food right out of your hand. I learned that the hard way! Overall, I enjoyed my birthday trip and appreciated the location, shuttle service, nearby attractions, and dining options.

This hotel is truly beautiful and well-administered. The staff was super helpful and dedicated. Great location, very walkable and safe at all times.
