First time visiting Curacao. Glad we stayed in the area that we did as it's withing walking distance of downtown, and several cool areas with tons of restaurants (the food was amazing). The hotel itself is nice and we enjoyed it. There was work going on outside the hotel that seemed to be sewer related. This led to some nasty smells. The hotel actually had to move us, but put us in a much larger room, (apartment) which was great. Do know that this hotel does not have any beach access, but does have a nice pool. Personally, if I'm by the ocean, I don't care about pools, but it was within our price range so we compromised. And, we actually walked to the Avila resort a couple of times and took advantage of their day pass.
