Historic Area of Willemstad

Stayed in The Ivy. Booked a 1 bedroom apartment but was given a 2 bedroom apartment upon check-in. Loved the extra space ! Apartment was beautiful and clean. Kitchen was stocked with all things needed to cook/bake. Balcony was spacious. Online pictures are accurate to in person sights. If traveling from US bring power adapter or ask front desk to borrow one. One suggestion would be to have long mirrors in apartment. Was unable to get a complete look of outfit after getting dressed. Only con was property being isolated so nothing was in walking distance. Even the beach that is advertised is about a 30 min walk from the reception desk. Once you check in the associates will get you to your room using their golf carts and pick you up on day of check out but in between you are on your own to get around which can make things difficult.

The Good: This property was perfectly located in the heart of Wilemstad. We were close to sooo many restaurant and entertainment options. The view was beautiful, we got to see large ships and the bridge moving from our balcony. It was very lively, where live music would be played throughout the night. The apartment itself was easy to find and enter, with an instruction video provided by the rental company. The Bad: -There were several plumbing issues. The water did not get hot during our entire stay. I tried to reach out to the rental company via call or text but my messages never went thru. The shower also had an issue where it wouldnt turn off completely. It made the bathroom steamy throughout our stay. -You have to pay separately if you use too much electricity. We ended up paying $45 extra for using the AC units. -The pull out couch mattress was not clean and needed to be replaced. We would stay again and reccommend to others, but would hope those issues were fixed by then.
