Beautiful property grounds. The hotel was small and quaint and the staff was so attentive. It is within walking distance to the floating bridge area where there are many bars, restaurants and shops. The on-site restaurant is excellent for all meals. Pools were perfect. It was our anniversary and the staff made extra efforts in our room to make it very special for us and it was so appreciated. There is construction noise at the moment due to a property being built directly next door. Not the fault of Scuba Lodge but it was very loud, very early every morning. Won’t last forever obviously but good to know. Ample parking for your rental car. Overall an excellent stay. We would stay here again.

Scuba Lodge was everything because of the staff! From the time I checked in, to the first welcome drink and throughout the week, the staff were the BEST! All of them made me feel welcome, safe, and well taken care of. The rooms were clean, spacious and beautiful. Housekeeping would come in every day and clean the room, thoroughly. The location was about 20 minutes from the airport and within walking distance of many cute restaurants. The restaurant at Scuba Lodge was delicious. The service was quick and everyone was so nice and accommodating. Right next door was another amazing little restaurant that served breakfast and lunch. The pastries they had available were out of this world. The only recommendation I have for Scuba Lodge is to allow their staff to wear shorts. Jeans do not fit with the beach theme, they are hot and uncomfortable. I could not imagine having to work in such heat in jeans! The happiness of the staff is just as important as my happiness as a guest. These people are the reason I plan to return. They deserve any little perk they can be given. I was so sad to leave them but knew I would return! Scuba Lodge management, PLEASE take care of your top-tier staff because they represent your facilities perfectly. Thank you for a wonderful vacation and I will see you guys soon, hopefully in shorts!!!! :)

The room was quite nice and had good upkeep. The bathroom was large and clean. The only issue I had was the bathroom door was glass and took away a little bit from privacy. There were 2 pools that were nice although one was small. But it was secluded. Overall a great place in a super convenient location to downtown.

Mold in my room and smelled terrible. Left 3 days early for a medical emergency and they they would not refund. Food is not good and over priced. There is no beach front. I did try the massage and it was not relaxing or good. Overall experience is 2 out of 10

Our city trip was a nightmare due this hotel
We were booked for 3 nights. Upon arrival we got to the front desk and right away the receptionist made us pay for the remaining two nights, the first one was already pre-paid. After paying we were told that our first two nights were not on their premises as they were fully booked, but in an hotel nearby. We would have to come back after two nights and checked in for our last night. The receptionist took us to the hotel nearby, we were put in a very small room barely 12 sqm with no window. We were in shock as this was not what we paid for. Five minutes later I went back to the scuba lodge front desk to complain but it was already closed. So we had no choice but to spend the night there. . Back to our "closet room" I checked the room rate of where they put us and it was 100 dollars cheaper per night. Not only they put us in another property without telling or notifying us in advance, but they also tried to cheat us with a much cheaper night rate for what we paid for. The next morning we went back to the front desk of scuba lodge and expressed our discontent. We asked to speak with the manager and were told there were none on the property site. We told the receptionist that we wanted the be reimbursed the difference in our two night rate and cancel our third night as we wanted nothing to do with scuba lodge anymore. No advanced notice, no apologies. They ruined our holiday.

Great location, pool and restaurant. Room was dated and mattress cleanliness was questionable. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Really convenient if you scuba dive, you get a discount on diving at their attached scuba facility.

The hotel is located in the vibrant Pietermaai district of Willemstad and looks like an actual dollhouse. The staff is very warm and helpful. I booked a city view superior room but because of a booking issue, I was given a standard room for the first night then I was moved into the two bedroom Ronde Klip suite to compensate for the booking issue. The standard room was in the blue building above reception. It was very clean and well equipped but was pretty small. The room has a shared patio and it seems like this is the noisier side being above the reception and with guests using the shared patio (at some point, I had people sitting right outside my window which got a little awkward because I just got out of the shower and had to pretty much crawl to close the window shutters haha). The Ronde Klip suite was on the second floor of the green building and it was amazing. It had a fully equipped kitchen (including a full size fridge with the an ice maker), the rooms were beautiful with super high ceilings and the large patio had shade in the afternoon so it was a great spot to hang out and enjoy the views of the city. The grounds of the hotel are well maintained and beautiful. The main pool with ocean view was amazing. There was always room but shaded spots were sometimes not available in the afternoon. The second pool was nice too. Overall, I would definitely stay at Scuba Lodge again!
