Left the Morena Resort and was not dissapointed when we arrived at what used to be the Hyatt. Beautiful resort, nice pools and beach, as well as super super friendly staff. Had the odd little thing like ants in the room, but anything that did go wrong could not compete with what a super fabulous resort this is; did I... More

You must have a car if you stay at this resort. Even from the entrance gate to the hotel is a ten minute drive to reach the hotel. Our fridge had to be replaced ... our TV had to be worked on, our TV remote had to be replaced. We received shampoo and tea bags the first day and did... More

My wife and I enjoyed a fabulous vacation at this tranquil yet luxurious resort. The friendliness of the staff was quite remarkable; you truly get the sense that the employees care about your vacation experience. The only constructive suggestion I can offer is that sometimes mealtime service can be a bit slow; however, we were on vacation so this didn't... More

Situated at a beautiful location on Curacao, but not centrally located. Nice rooms, friendly staff and beautiful located at the beach. A real vacation experience even if you live on the island. Sometimes the hotel has great specials, check the website. The rooms have balcony.

My wife and I have stayed at quite a few resorts in the Caribbean, some all-inclusive and some not, and I would say that this one ranks near the top. The only reason I didn't give the resort a 5 out of 5 is because the dining options are a little limited, and as I'm sure you've already read in... More

Very nice place, not expansive for this kind of hotel ( book on " booking .com"). Just one bad point: internet is not free. Beach and swimming pool are available on this resort. Beautiful birds come near your room.

This property is located on the far east side of the island. It is about 40 minutes from the airport. 30 minutes from downtown. It is the newest property in Curacao (as far as I can tell) and is about 2-3 years old. The lobby is simply gorgeous! The staff is super friendly. Concierge was very helpful. Front desk staff...

We held our wedding at the Santa Barbara Beach and Golf Resort in mid-February, and we had a wonderful time. The weather was beautiful, the property was beautiful, and all the guests remarked on what a great time they had. I think the resort had just switched over from the Hyatt to the Santa Barbara Beach and Golf Resort, and... More

Beautiful resort with nice views, but this is not the beach you would expect. It appears to be man-made on the edge of a small harbor with a little breakwater built arround it. That said the water is wonderful and little tropical fish are swimming all around. The pool and bar area are stunning. The rooms are very fashionable with... More

We traveled to Curacao on vacation and decided to stay at this resort as it was off the beaten path a bit. We are so glad we did. Greeted with warm, friendly faces and an exceptionally hospitable staff, we immediately experienced a little heaven on earth. The facilities were new and immaculate and the resort included several dining options along... More
