We were very optimistic about this property as we love historic settings and the combo of proximity to Willemstad and parking (so that we could explore the island) was appealing. However, the place is quite literally falling apart with chunks of furniture and bathroom tile tumbling down. The pools and grounds are poorly maintained, the wifi is non functioning, and the hot water in one of our rooms was never fixed. One of our tubs had the intimate hairs of a prior guest somehow permanently affixed to the ceramic and eight days of housekeeping did nothing to dislodge it. There were stickers in the rooms telling us not to drink the water (despite Curacao having a modern desalination plant). One can only assume that this was because the published stories of the hotel not being able to pay its water bill were true and caused it to use some alternate unsanitary source. The breakfast was mediocre and sparse, some of the staff quite unfriendly, and the AC in the rooms could not be adjusted. In summary, a beautiful setting with great potential but better avoided until new management rebuilds and refreshes it.

Far from the best beaches you need to rent a car for access. Access to the commercial center in punda and otrobanda is easy, just a few minutes walk with good bars and restaurants. The hotel is divided into areas, I stayed in the Bolivar Pool, I do not recommend the room 237 (?), Upper level. The stair railing is broken in several places where there is a risk of falling. The place has a careless aspect to the details that make a difference to your stay, as well as an evening show in a hotel behind the room with electronic music that makes it impossible to sleep on Fridays and Saturdays. Do not stay in this area unless you like a lot of noise. On the plus side, the hotel provides a transfer to Kura Hulanda beach club in sabana westpunt a wonderful beach, don't miss it.

Was very impresed by the quick assistants and support before and during our stay.
Please ask for the daytime Manager by the name of Danielle she is very good along with all the others . They actually clean the room every day and make sure all is well.
