Fantastic and can’t wait to go back. The hosts are so friendly and helpful. The entire property is unique and a little paradise on paradise. We liked watching the sunset from the main house patio area. We stayed in the little cottage we’re so comfortable and loved the private pool and outdoor shower. We liked talking with the other guests from all over the world over breakfast and sharing island experiences. It is a very peaceful and quiet place with house animals as an extra bonus.

We had a wonderful time staying here, the property was nice and spacious and clean. It has access via a trail to walk down to the salt flats and see the flamingos.

We only stayed here one night due to a booking mixup in our other location. We were extremely amazed at what a lovely host Loeki was and beautiful the setting is. If you are looking for a quiet retreat for your vacation, this is the place. Loeki did everything to make your stay as pleasant as possible. My only comment would be that if you’re using navigation do not just enter Plantation Jan Thiel , it only takes you halfway down the road. Enter Landhuis Jan Thiel, into your navigation. The location is at the very end of the road.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this accommodation! From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed. The place is beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect – peaceful yet conveniently close to attractions and amenities. The host was incredibly friendly and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing, making it the perfect getaway. We can’t think of a single thing to improve. It was truly a flawless experience. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic stay. We will definitely be back!

I hope I can put into words what a special place the Plantation Lodge is and how it has a place in my heart now. It was truly magical. I would hands down recommend a stay to anyone here who wants a lovely, peaceful, stress free environment. From the generously portioned breakfast made with loving hands from Loeki (the pancakes yumm, omelets, fresh juices and coffee all of it - the best)!! The warm welcomes from the doggies, made my day, everyday! It’s all fantastic. Our room was large and well appointed. Clean pool, hiking trails to salt flats, and the small details like tightly made bed and mint, cucumber, orange waters next to the bed upon return from the beach, the library- made this stay truly remarkable. I felt safe and cared for the entire week. I actually cried leaving, there are not many places have ever done that to me. I am already trying to figure out ways to get back. The island is a special place, but I believe it’s the beautiful soul of Loeki and the other awesome guests that also stay there. Just make sure you keep your eye on digger the lab so he doesn’t go off with wandering ladies on the trail, my husband almost made the local news letting digger wander off with them, but we had a laugh about it thankfully! ;) My husband and I will be back. If anyone is hesitating booking, Do not hesitate, you will never regret booking at the Jan Thiel Plantation.

We truly enjoyed our stay at this lush, gorgeous property! Lukay (sp?) ensured every detail was perfect. She went above and beyond to make certain we enjoyed our stay. Welcome drink, evening herb water, delicious breakfast, arranging a rental vehicle, etc. The property owner is blessed to have such a sweet, friendly, accommodating employee! Of 3 places we stayed on our visit to Curacao, this was our favorite thanks to Lukay! We highly recommend! 💕

Our stay at Plantation Jan Thiel Lodge was absolutely unforgettable! Loike is the greatest host we could have asked for. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. She provided excellent recommendations on local restaurants, guided us to some stunning local trails, and even pointed out the best snorkeling spots. Although we initially booked just one night due to a conference at the Marriott, we instantly wished we had planned our entire five-day stay here. The Lodge may not be right on the ocean, but its unique charm and warm atmosphere more than make up for it. There’s a special spirit to this place that makes you want to return again and again. If I could give Plantation Jan Thiel Lodge 6 stars, I absolutely would! Highly recommended to anyone visiting the island.

Wow….its almost impossible to put in writing how magnificent this place is! I think it’s the best place I have ever stayed. The plantation is beautiful. The grounds are full of flowering shrubs, different kinds of birds and an easy walk to the salt marshes to view the flamingos. Our bedroom was private with lots of room. The bed and linens were so comfortable that I slept like a baby. Using the homemade soaps was such a nice touch. Each night fresh water infused with lime or cucumber was delivered to our room. It’s all these extra efforts that made our stay so special. The best part of our vacation is that Loeki (the host) made us feel like family. She makes this boutique hotel more than a 10 out of 10. She bakes muffins, loafs and cakes fresh each morning while she effortlessly makes cappuccinos and coffees for each guest. She whips up individual requests for breakfasts that is made from scratch. We ate like royalty and loved all the fresh fruit that was offered. I’m positive that I gained weight in a week just from her outstanding breakfasts. She was also very conscientious about my peanut and tree nut allergy. This was our first visit to Curacao. Loeki, gave us so many great tips for beaches, restaurants and special places to check out. We definitely would not have had the ability to truly experience the island without her inside knowledge of the best places to visit. We will definitely be coming back to Curacao and to Plantation Jan Thiel Lodge. It’s paradise! ❤️

Our family of four (two adults and two kids 9 &5) stayed for a week at Plantation Jan Thiel. It was a excellent home base to explore the island from. Loeki is a fantastic host who made us feel at home. She provided loads of great tips for beaches to visit, activities for the kids and restaurants to try. The property is beautiful with an easy walking trail down to see the flamingos at the salt flats, a great pool with comfortable lounge chairs and large terraces to enjoy the view and a cocktail after a long day in the sun. I highly recommend staying here!
