The hotel is authentic and unique! It needs (and deserves) an update. The staff is absolutely friendly and does everything to make your stay comfortable. The historical setting and atmosphere is worth every penny we paid for our stay. The square in the centre of this little village is top!

The setting is just beautiful. You need to spent time to walk around in the gardens with art. It's just gorgeous. The room is specious but the bathroom needed attention. The shower was terrible: Not much water coming out and the hot and cold water was very difficult to control. The mirror above the sink was "vintage" look which made it hard to do my make up in the morning.

I like the historical background of the property. However the management probably needs to get new investors to raise the ambience of the property. There are clear signs of under-investment. I should add that in going around Curacao in a limited way on a 3 day visit I thought generally there seemed to be under-investment in property. It could be where I passed.

Opphold i historisk hotellkompleks.
Hotell med utmerket beliggenhet i forhold til sentrum, men i noe avstand fra strand. God mat på hotellet, men noe ventetid. Serviceinnstilt og positivt personell, men hvor det tydelig var mangelfulle retningslinjer for de ansatte og ikke minst at det var manglende tekniske løsninger for dem. Bygningsmassen var historisk spennende med store mangler, vedlikehold og skader og med et stort behov for oppgraderinger. Begrenset adgang til strand uten gjennom shuttlebuss til annet hotell i kjeden. Besøk på strand vil være kostbart.

Old World island charm
This is a hidden gem...charming in an old world, bygone day way. Absolutely perfect for me - who deplores the hipster hype and vibe. Super private. I had the grotto pool to myself both days. Grounds are beautifully maintained with wonderful hidden enclaves. Great location near Floating Bridge. Breakfast was good, not great (but free). Staff was hit or miss...most not overly friendly, but competent. Reasonable drink prices and dinner specials. They advertise a free shuttle to sister hotel's private beach. But fail to mention it is 45 min away and shuttle runs once. You are stuck on the north end of the island (with nothing to do except tiny and rocky beach and very limited food choices) for 5 hrs. Room was large with private courtyard that could use a few potted plants, furnished with antiques and huge 4 poster bed. Some reviews have said it could use a refresh. I disagree. I loved the 19th century island village feel of the place. If quiet, private is what you like, this is perfect!!

The location is great! The property itself is pretty cool, like a small village. But it needs some upgrades. The pool was extremely chlorinated, the showers were weak, among other issues that aren't worth going into. If somebody put some time and money into this spot, it would be ideal. The front desk person, Danielle, was very nice and accommodating even though we checked in early. Just a few upgrades and this plsce would be twice as much per night

I enjoyed the rustic ambiance of the place. The hotel is within very close proximity to shopping area, food outlets and the famous bridge. The room was cleaned everyday and clean towels were given to us. I must compliment the staff on their friendliness except for one staff at the front desk. There were no concierge service so carrying our suitcase to and from our room were a bit difficult since we had a room located upstairs. The internet service was also another issue we had. The problem was resolved after 24 hours which was a bit lengthy. The water pressure in the bathroom was also low on one morning but that problem was resolved within a timely manner. The pool was a bit dirty hence i was reluctant to swim in it

A return visit for us. Staff are very gracious and helpful and the hotel location is excellent. The room was kept clean but it seems the property is sliding downwards. We had a great deck but didn’t use because never cleaned of bird droppings on tables, etc. Also had an iguana who liked to hang out in the tree above the deck and have his bathroom breaks on our deck. We do not blame this on the hotel.

When we first checked in to the rooms in the afternoon, they were nice and cool. By the time we returned late in the evening, both rooms were not nearly as cool. One room was especially warm and I could not get the air conditioning to work. I called the front desk and reported the problem (10pm). A maintenance man and a woman came and tried to fix the unit. They replaced the batteries in the remote control, but the screen display was still very dim and they had a hard time reading it. After several minutes of trying to figure out the remote, they advised that it was now working correctly and left. I went to bed around 11pm, and woke up sweating at around 130am. The air conditioner was off and the room was hot. I tried to look at the remote control to see why it was off, but the display on the remote was so faint that I couldn’t read it. I believe that the man and woman who came to my room to “fix” the air conditioner actually made the problem worse by possibly setting a timer, so that the air conditioner went off a few hours after they left. At 530am, I went to the front desk to report these problems, and the agent wrote the problems down in a notepad. When I returned home, I reported the problems to Expedia and was told that I needed to write a letter to the hotel. I did so, but have been given the run-around by the hotel and Expedia for the past 3 months. Terrible experience with the hotel and Expedia.

Small town look alike hotel
Customer service is really good, people who work there are very very attentive and always looking for ways to help you! The hotel is very nice and big, you feel like you are walking in a small old style town, with statues and very nice art decorations. My room was about 5-7 min walk from where you can park the car. I didn't like that the floor is made out of small rocks, so carrying the bags could be difficult because you can't roll them. The room had a very small, old-dated tv (most of the time it didn't work), other than that the room was nice, clean, towels smell sooooo good, and they clean and organized the room daily! The whole "little town" hotel had wifi, it was awesome! I didn't use the pool but it looked clean at all times. Breakfast is a buffet with a lot of options, different types of bread (slides, croissant, pancakes, etc), butter, peanut butter, cream cheese, jam, honey. Eggs (scramble, poche, boiled), bacon, ham, cheese, fruit, yogurt, cereal, salads (tuna salad), orange juice, coffee, chocolate, milk, parfait. The location of the hotel is great, you are 5 min walking distance to the floating bridge, and fort.

The property had a quirky, wonderful old feel that set the tone for understanding Willemstad and its colonial heritage. Having the museum right there was a treat. Walking in and out of courtyards was a wonderful experience for me and made everything feel special. Be sure to find the pool with the waterfall -- we didn't explore and find that one until after we checked out, so we didn't get to enjoy it. Our only complaint about the property was that the beds were not very comfortable, so we didn't sleep especially well, but what one person fnds comfortable another might like, so that's not a reason to mark the whole place down.
