My second stay after 5 years. A unique, pleasant, photogenic, and relaxing location near the Willemstad city centers of Punda and Otrabanda, featuring its famous bridges and historic waterfront façade. Pleasant atmosphere, an ideal starting location for road trips on the island. Due to its central orientation, you're quickly on the road to the many lovely beach bays in the Westpunt direction.
We absolutely adored this place! They have everything you need if you just want to stay on property & relax but they are also close to the hot spots too!
Third time to this boutique hotel in 2 years. Convenient for scuba diving as there is a dive shop 100 feet from the property. The staff at Scuba Lodge are friendly and accommodating. There are 2 pools (small) on the property with one (infinity) overlooking the ocean. The food is excellent, great coffee and croissants. I plan to return sooner than later
A great location for a stay in Willemstad. It is clean, friendly staff and is really fantastically located on the Caribbean Sea. We stayed 2 nights and slept the first night in room 27. A beautiful and spacious room with a balcony at the front. However, a big disadvantage is that it is located on the street side and therefore very noisy at night due to the heavy traffic passing by. The next night we rebooked to a room on the garden/sea side and slept well there. This room was also fine with a terrace on the garden side. Recommended if you do not take a room on the street side!
Very friendly, helpful staff. Convenient location made it easy to walk to markets, Queen Emma bridge etc.

Our 3-week stay at the Scuba Lodge was everything we had imagined it would be. The service at the Scuba Lodge is brilliant! No matter what you need or ask, the team tries everything to help the guest. The housekeeping really deserves praise, everything was always very clean and if we got up late, it was never a problem for them!
However, there is one small drawback: as the hotel is located directly by the sea, the salty sea air has a strong impact on the building fabric. Chipped plaster on the walls, rotten wood under the colour of the window frames or loose planks by the pool are not in keeping with such a beautiful building complex as the Scuba Lodge.
What a wonderful place to stay. I truly enjoyed the hotel and all its amenities. The staff was super nice and incredibly helpful. Location of the hotel was great and only 8 min walk to Willemstad
We had an amazing time. Very homey and good vibes. All staff were incredibly friendly and took good care of us. Particularly enjoyed the pool and the cheese balls at the restaurant!
the hotel was awesome, the bed, the bathroom, the pool, even a very helpful kitchen.
the peesonnel was helpful and kind.
the restaurant however was not as good as we expected, very long time to get attended, and attention was not really good.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Scuba Lodge! Upon entry into reception we were treated like family. From reception staff, housekeeping and maintenance everyone was lovely. We loved our 2 bedroom apartment, which had two bathrooms, a half bath, washing machine and kitchen facilities.
The area surrounding the Scuba Lodge is very walkable with many of bar and restaurants in the area, along with a restaurant and bar onsite. The bar and restaurant at the Scuba Lodge food and drinks were good. Service was slow and disorganized and needs to be more streamlined and attentive but worth the stop.
We loved the Scuba Lodge and will be back.
As close to perfect as you can get. Fantastic staff, beautiful accommodations, excellent facilities. About the only area we were not excited about was the somewhat limited menu, and the dutch preoccupation with mayonnaise on everything. Not to worry though as there are fantastic restaurants a short walk away. Even the snorkeling at the hotel is quite nice for a quick evening paddle.
