Otrobanda Vacations from $850

This place is so adorable ! As Americans we felt the smaller more quiet atmosphere was amazing. The pool is small but never crowded. We were the only ones in it each time we swam. This hotel is steps from the beach. If you’re American , bring plug converters (they gave us some from front desk - thank you !!). The beach is gorg. Snorkeling was amazing. Blue bay beach gives you everything you need. Crystal clear water , chairs , shade , two food places and a bar on the beach, clean bathrooms. Heads up - this is a very family friendly beach. We didn’t have our kids with us but there are lots.The rooms were always clean and the property is well maintained. Every night there seemed to be something going on in the hotel lobby or restaurant (like wine tasting or live music) . The front desk& cleaning staff was so nice. All of you ladies were nothing but kind and deserve a raise! Within the property gates , blue bay has several restaurants- we only tried 3. All were decent. Dinner on the beach was delicious. The only con- some of your security guards are rude and we felt like they followed us on two occasions. The one guy was SO RUDE to our taxi driver, I was ready to throw it down with him in the middle of the street right then and there. They need talked to- we agree safety is important (hello Americans here ) but come on - it made us uncomfortable. Blue Bay is so beautiful , if we visit Curacao again we will most likely stay here again! Thank you Blue Bay for a wonderful stay!!!

I travel almost every 3 weeks and I can hands down say that this was one of my best experiences to date at a boutique hotel. From arriving till leaving I felt at home and the staff took care of anything and everything. When I say that, I mean it. This morning (I've just left) the hotel manager, Miguel, heard I couldn't make it to breakfast due to meetings before checking out, so he made me a to go breakfast, based on what I had for the last 3 days, and had it delivered to my room so I wouldn't go hungry. From sitting by the pool talking to other guest and laughing with staff through the all the little annoyances, the team was on top of it regardless of the hour or the issue. Genuinely very impressed and if we come back to Curacao we know where we will be staying, that's for certain. Thanks Darrel, Tiji, Miguel and everyone else who made this a fantastic experience for us both.
