the property does has great location. The kitchenette is not equipped well to accommodate needs of the guest. there are two plates, two cups etc. very limited dishes. I requested to add shampoo to the dispencer and it was not done, they told the other guest to buy it yourself. they told me it's not a hotel, its a time share which means to me the owner who is renting does not care. overall if you don't care of the service its ok.

I think this could have been a 5 star review but it got off on the wrong foot. Otherwise if you are looking for a quiet peaceful beautiful spot to relax in Curaçao, this was quite simply blissful. The room was large, clean and well air-conditioned. There was a nice pool area which was great for watching the sunset, but I didn’t much use the pool, for there was a cute little beach strip where you can swim in clear blue waters and even snorkel there, equipment available from the front desk. The restaurant just next to the little beach serves meals throughout the day, which had pretty good food, but if you fancy a wander, there is an array of restaurants about 10 min walk away. So why didn’t I give them 5 stars instead of 4? Although the bedroom was very tastefully done, the e bathroom looked like it was stuck in the 1970s. I booked a room that was “with a sea view”. Yes, you can see the sea from the room, but the view was predominantly a mechanical digger from the aquarium next door. Even though I was treated to a little dolphin show one afternoon, it still feels a right cheek advertising the room as having a view. It also started with a bad impression when checking in. I was told breakfast was definitely not included even though I had booked it with. Although they did correct themselves, it just got things off on a wrong foot. At the end of my first hour there, this would have been a 2 star review, but the charm of the place gradually won me over.

We recently stayed at Royal See Curaçao with our extended family, booking three rooms, and overall we had a wonderful experience. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and very clean, and the view was absolutely spectacular — one of the best we’ve had in Curaçao. The location is also excellent, close to the beach and main attractions. The only part of our stay that left us disappointed was the check-out experience. Since our flight was later in the evening, we asked if we could have a late check-out for at least one of our rooms so we could shower and change after spending the day at the beach. We were told that wasn’t possible, but that the hotel could provide a space to change and shower instead. Unfortunately, this offer was later withdrawn by management, and we were told to use the small outdoor beach bathroom instead — not ideal for a large family. What made this more frustrating was that the manager mentioned there were available rooms until the next day, yet still refused to let us use one for just two extra hours, unless we paid for a full additional night. While we understand hotel policies, a bit more flexibility and customer care would have made a big difference. That being said, everything else about our stay was fantastic — the property, the views, and the overall atmosphere made for a great family vacation. With a little more consideration at check-out, this hotel would easily deserve a full five stars.

We had a wonderful experience at The Royal Sea Aquarium. We couldn't make it to Curacao on the dates we were booked at the Sea Aquarium because our plane needed some maintenance and we missed our connection. The resort changed the dates for our stay( it was not refundable) and we were able to fly to Curaçao few weeks later and enjoy our vacation. We are forever grateful to the resort for helping us out and changing our reservation. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The resort is clean, well maintained. Rooms were very spacious, gorgeous, comfortable beds ,clean crisp linens and towels. Sunset view from resort is amazing. We had the one bedroom with ocean view it was lovely. Highly recommend if you are looking for a relaxing laid back stay with private beach, which by the way is absolutely stunning. Clean,quiet, gorgeous close to everything. We will be back.
