This hotel has some positive points, but sadly some negative ones to compliment them.
It is right in the centre of town being only a short stroll to bars restaurants and shops. The town seems safe and we saw no problems whatsoever. Though the town was busy, the hotel is in a quieter part. The city itself was very good, but if you are looking for a nearby beach, you'll be disappointed.
The hotel was very quiet for high season (we were there from Jan 7 to 18), except at weekend when it was full of rowdy Venezuelans and Mexicans.
If you can stretch to it, order a junior suite with sea view. We had superb views from ours (9th floor) overlooking both the ocean front and the cruise liner docking area. The balcony however is not the description I would use, good as it was for viewing, it was tiny.
Two concerns. Firstly, the pool area was sadly neglected, albeit usable, and the pool bar was only open from 5.00pm in the evening. The sunset views from the bar were stunning. Secondly, the restaurants described may be part of the complex, but ae not part of the hotel and you have to go out of the hotel, along the road and then enter the restaurants' areas. Odd!.
Overall, we became accustomed to the oddities of the hotel and grew rather fond of it, and it is ideally situated. If you want luxury and sophistication, forget it. We found it good for the majority of our needs and enjoyed our stay in Curacao.
