Curacao

Check-in- quick and efficient. Took about an hour from the time we landed to the time we were in our room. The front staff don't do a great job of explaining the map of the property, but it's small enough that we figured it out. Rooms- large bed, small seating area and tiny bathroom. The best part about the room was the balcony with ocean view. Mini fridge restocked daily with water, beer and pop. The room was dated, but functional. Shower curtain had a mildew smell. Able to control room temp which was great. Food- subpar at best. Pandemic meant they were running at 40% capacity meaning less choice and some closures of restaurants. Restaurants are first come first serve with the exception of Japanese which is one of the best options. Beach- very rocky and lots of children. You aren't able to walk the beach like you do in other sunny destinations as it is only about 1/2 km. Warm blue water!! Staff- Latoya at the bar is amazing! She was so much fun getting to know and really looked after us all week. Tips are not necessary but greatly appreciated by all. Spa- excellent service, but over priced. 159$ usd for a 50 min massage. Exchange rate was 1.78 Canadian to 1 usd. Sales pitch- the VIP counter will give you $150 if you go on a morning excursion to their dreams location where they will try to pitch you vacation/timeshares. The 150 isn't worth the 1/2 day you loose. Buggy tour- we went on a buggy tour to the caves and blowhole on the north shore. We walked out the front door and across the road. It was a great 2.5 hours spent seeing the island. Tour guide Jean was great. Highly recommend. 150$ usd for 2 people. Wifi available all over the resort, even on the beach! Overall, curaçao is beautiful, warm and relatively safe. We likely wouldn't return to a sunscapes unless we had our children with us. It's very family friendly.

We enjoyed our experience and would consider a future stay.

Really lovely grounds, calm serene environment, just what we needed for a break. Made good use of kitchen facilities in our Royal suite pool view upgraded room - worth the money to us. Dining at beach club options was preferred to the hotel restaurant. Enjoyed daily happy hour. Hotel staff very helpful.

Overall we had a great vacation. The hotel was clean but a little tired. The pool and beach area were beautiful. The staff were friendly and accomodating. The breakfast buffet was good, lots of choices, but a little more variety in fruit would have been nice. The food on the resort was excellent, but more choices would have made it outstanding. Shuttle options for the evening would have been nice as there was very little entertainment.

Overall experience was good. Nice spacy villa.
