Little Curaçao Yoga Holidays

The Sea Aquarium Resort was amazing! The staff at the front desk were very helpful and knowledgeable. They were endlessly friendly when arranging taxis or answering questions about local activities. The private beach was immaculate with comfortable loungers and plenty of shade. It was made for the novice or more experienced snorkelers. We stayed in a Junior Suite with a balcony that overlooked the dolphin training lagoons in the actual aquarium. Eating at the on-site restaurant was awesome and the proximity to Mambo Beach Blvd allowed for some more adventurous eating and drinking. Great value for the money, comfortable beds, and very robust A/C. Would highly recommend!!

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.

If you like air conditioning, do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else! Our room felt around 85°F throughout our stay. We traveled with two other couples, and one couple switched rooms only to find the same problem. When we complained at the front desk, we were given a $10 fan. An employee told us the air conditioning throughout the hotel was basically broken, which certainly seemed to be the case. The employee also said the hotel had done nothing to fix the problem or acknowledge it. The casino was unbearably hot, too. Service made the stay even worse. Many employees were so rude and seemed annoyed that guests were there. God forbid you asked a question! They were some of the rudest people I’ve ever met. The bars repeatedly ran out of basics like cups, ice, mint for mojitos, and even beer. How does an all-inclusive resort run out of beer—or freaking ice? Once something ran out, it wasn’t available again that day. Between the heat, poor service, and lack of basic supplies, this was a miserable experience. I would never stay at this resort again.
