Curacao in June
The hotel was a distance from the airport, but the shuttle provided ($50 round trip) gets you there in under a half hour. The staff is unbelievably friendly, and the room has a great view overlooking the sea. Also, make sure you try the cocktail they give when you arrive, RIDICULOUSLY good!! The general store is pricey, but that should be expected. And the SWIM restaurant has decent food at reasonable prices. There is a shuttle that brings you downtown and for $12 its worth it. While being surrounded by water, the sea isn't easily reachable from most areas, but the water is warm. Overall a great trip that I'd recommend anyone take

Make sure to double check the days the restaurants are open. The hotel will give you the times, but when I tried SHOR they were only open for dinner on certain days

Great, Great hotel
The hotel was fantastic! The 5 star resort did not disappoint. The staff was accommodating to a fault! The resort is remote so prepare to pay to travel. But there are a couple of restaurants. Pool and beach access very nice.

Bliss!!!
PROS: The property is gorgeous, the rooms were spacious w/ a great flow & beautiful touches, room service was delish loved the gelato shop, the staff was enchanting Mem & Lupe were awesome! Customer service was perfect if i so much as murmured a need for something i had it. There was a bird try'n to start a nest in my patio ceiling fan the engineer was there in minutes to move it. CONS: I failed to get airport transfers when i booked (my fault) but dont make this mistake the one "downside" to the hyatt is it is flat out on its on planet as it pertains to distance from the airport & sights....however this is easily rectified dependant on your length of stay either plan to rent a car (hertz on site) even if its just for a day or two or plan ahead & take the shuttle that goes "to town" @ 8:30 am but plan to spend the day because it doesnt come back till 2:30. As far asthe nitpicky stuff ignore it all ...I was at the Marriot, drove by the Hilton & Kura there is nothing on this island like the Hyatt dont miss the experience. sidenote the hyatt is an open concept its on a compound for lack of a better word fully gated but the 1st floor has open arches almost hacienda style & "feels" exposed..maybe im just a nerd it creeped me out even though i knew i was completely safe ...jus fyi

Excellent Stay
Needed a relaxing break from the hectic pace of work the past few months and the Hyatt Regency Curacao turned out to be the perfect solution. The service was top notch with the staff remembering my name. Check in was a breeze - done at the airport, bags placed in van, driven the approx 30 mins to the hotel. Upon arrival, I was handed a drink, and my bags were brought to my room while I was given a quick tour of the resort. The room was above the standard usually found in Caribbean resorts. The beach is lovely. It is on an inlet, so it is not your typical crash and play in the waves scenario. But there is enough room for swimming, snorkeling, lounging in the water, etc, so it really doesn't make a difference. The two pools and the various sun beds around them are also a great option for spending the day in the sun. The staff is super attentive. Being a single girl traveling alone I never felt unsafe. The only baby downside was the limited selection of places to eat. There are 3 main places and a little pizza/gelato store. The food is on the more expensive side once the service charges and taxes are added in. But the Spa is fabulous! As are the excursions and dive company on site. I would highly recommend this resort. One of the best I have been to - and I have been to quite a lot. Hoping to return again soon.

Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa - Curacao
Ideal location for someone who is trying to get away from it all! Hyatt has a very beautiful property; hummingbirds and butterflies are abundant. Quiet beach area, attached golf course for him and a spa for her. Couples are able to take romantic walks at night. Be sure to visit SHOR Restaurant to watch the beautiful sunset, which is absolutely amazing. Resort is a distance from town but cab drivers are very friendly. If you go, be sure to visit the west end of the island, the rushing water cave is a sight to see.

Visit Perla Del Mar or Scampi's for a great dinner experience. Perla is right on the water front and the food was excellent.
