9/10 Wonderful! (885 reviews)

We had a wonderful experience at The Royal Sea Aquarium. We couldn't make it to Curacao on the dates we were booked at the Sea Aquarium because our plane needed some maintenance and we missed our connection. The resort changed the dates for our stay( it was not refundable) and we were able to fly to Curaçao few weeks later and enjoy our vacation. We are forever grateful to the resort for helping us out and changing our reservation. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The resort is clean, well maintained. Rooms were very spacious, gorgeous, comfortable beds ,clean crisp linens and towels. Sunset view from resort is amazing. We had the one bedroom with ocean view it was lovely. Highly recommend if you are looking for a relaxing laid back stay with private beach, which by the way is absolutely stunning. Clean,quiet, gorgeous close to everything. We will be back.

wanna see a contrast between rich and poor than hit a west end free beach then go to Jan Thiel.. Artificial beach and Artificial people.. This beach is located in the beverly hills of Curacao.. If you are into that Segregation by class type of beach that this is your place to go!..

2/5 - Disappointing

Terry

Jan Thiel Beach was beautiful but crowded. The service at Zanzibar Restaurant was terrible and slow. It is definitely geared towards the European crowd. We had to ask for our drinks twice. Other guests sat around us after we had ordered our drinks and got them first. We felt people kept looking at us as if we didn’t belong there. My husband felt the same way. We had to get up and approach the waitress to pay or we would still be sitting there. No fish options either on their menu. I had to order a hamburger. Really!? Would not go back.
