Excellent service beautiful beach
Reviewed By 504AliciaBThis resort was just what we needed, water view room 320 was great and relaxing. Management took care of minor issues right away. Make sure to snorkel outside between the lagoons. It is a short walk to the swinging lady and groceries are close by. Look up the history, it is still a family run resort.

Wonderful stay
Reviewed By sandervaScuba Lodge & Ocean Suites Willemstad Most Pleasant Stay 840101682 Very welcoming reception after a long flight from Amsterdam. All our 10 days we were helped exemplary by Alex, Gina, Chris and Dalies. Also very lovely room staff. We got the last room on the first floor, out to the street. Faraway from the ruckus of Saint Tropez next door. Super sleep. We dived and snorkelled and were very pleased by the neighbourly Dive Center Pietermaai. Great people, great trips. For drinks and food, we were well served by De Heeren, but after a few days preferred the Caballeros. With more room and fewer Dutch diners :). Breakfast next door, at La Reina. In the morning sun :) All in all a lovely stay in March 2022, just after Covid19 restrictions were fully lifted.

Sunscape Hotel Needs some TLC
Reviewed By ScubahappygirlFirst the positive. The hotel staff were really quite wonderful. Super friendly. I enjoyed interacting with them and they tried to do a great job. Food was decent. Not awesome but not horrible. The dive staff at Ocean Encounters were wonderful as well. Loved my diving. The reefs and coral are the healthiest I’ve seen. The room I was in was beaten on. I had read reviews here and was ok with it when booking looking at pictures from 2020 by management. My room was not like the pictures or booking photos. I had booked a king but got 2 queens… nothing available away from the beach bar music. The music is loud too. So if you’re planning to go to bed early be far, far away from it. Old furniture in my room. Drawers don’t close on dresser properly etc. Walls need some work. Shower curtain rod fell at least twice. No hand towels. No wash clothes no bath mat. I asked for and got a (1) hand towel and 2 wash clothes. Hand towel was taken after a day and not replaced one of the wash clothes was taken and not replaced. One day I had no towels till after 6 PM. I can handle old but a clean room. Kind of wondered about my floors. I will come back to Curaçao but sadly would not stay here.

Amazing stay!
Reviewed By 732mitchelvWe stayed at the Corendon Mangrove resort for 4 days and we had a really good time. Food was really good and also a big variation, lots to choose from. We came to the resort to resort to relax and let our little girl enjoy the pool and waterpark. The waterpark is amazing too, great for kids and the bigger kids will definitely enjoy the big water slides. A long weekend well spent. Thank you Corendon. Just the entertainment is going on too long, or at least too loud. Music should be turned down a bit earlier so people can rest and don't need to wait till 12:00am to go to bed. Besides that, it was a perfect stay!

Beautiful property with spectacular gardens and on-site dive shop
Reviewed By anthonyoY830TBAs Marriott Bonvoy members and SCUBA divers, my wife and I chose this resort for our first visit to Curacao mainly because it offered an on-site dive operation. The convenience could not be beat. What surprised us was just how beautiful this resort was. It's right on a gorgeous stretch of beach that couldn't be cleaner, and the lush, fragrant gardens were just as spectacular. We were given a terrific third floor oceanview room with balcony that was spotlessly clean, with plenty of storage space for our gear. Adapters for the 220 voltage outlets were provided without a fee by the front desk, but keep in mind they don't convert to 110, so your devices need to be compatible with a 110-220 range. The front desk was also kind enough to arrange our airport transfers by taxi both ways (it's about a 20 minute trip, and was $30 each way without tip). There were plenty of on-site restaurant options, and service at all was very warm and friendly. The breakfast buffet at Cspice, an included benefit given our Bonvoy status, had a generous variety of options, and lunch outside at the Salty Iguana certainly hit the spot after a morning spend scuba diving. Dinner at Zala Lounge in the Great Room was always relaxed and a fine ending to a busy day. Last but not least, the excellent coffee at Papiamentu Market Place sustained us each afternoon. All in all, we would absolutely stay here again, and wholeheartedly recommend visiting.

Spend your time around the pool!
Reviewed By 266KateF266Struggled to give this a four rating but the grounds truly are amazing. The rooms very nice also, and close to the beach. You are only allowed to sit on one section of the beach and the beds are very close together. There is almost always loud music playing on the beach unless you are there before 10/11am….. nice at times but not if you are looking to read and relax. For that, staying around the jungle like pool would be your spot! The grounds are superb and so serene. If you’re not looking for a beach swim or beach party like atmosphere I would say spend your time around the resort when not exploring the island.

Great resort in Curacao
Reviewed By Ebrockbrough4We have a group of divers traveling to Lions Dive in October...My wife and I visited Curacao on the Carnival Horizon June 2. We caught a taxi to the hotel to check out the property. When we arrived and explained our mission to check out the property. We were welcomed by Kat from reservations. She gave us a tour of the property and was the most helpful person that you have ever met! This is a beautiful beach location with a first class diving operation. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a tropical get away.

Slipping from previous standards
Reviewed By SleipnirsRiderThis was our second stay at the Royal Sea Aquarium Resort; the first was pre-COVID in 2019. The resort remains a pleasant place in a tourism-dominated area (Bapor Kibra and the Mambo Beach Blvd area). Maintenance is generally good and service is as well, though it can be slowed during peak demand times such as Saturday afternoon check-ins. Our room was in fairly good shape, though one bed had a pronounced tendency to slide around and its casters could not be locked. The phone constantly showed a message waiting when there was none, and could not be reset. The time-share aspect of this resort tends to overwhelm some aspects of customer service. We likely will go elsewhere for our next visit to Curacao.
