L’hôtel dans son ensemble, la situation, propre Le personnel de la réception très sympathique.

Le personnel du restaurant pas très sympathique, mais pas mal poli non plus. Ça donnait pas envie de faire tout les repas sur place.

We had a wonderful stay at Scuba Lodge. It is located on the Punda side of Pietermaai, about 5-10 minutes by walking from the town center and about 15-20 minutes by walking from Kura Hulanda Village. It has great amenities and is also conveniently located down the street from an excellent dive shop. The front desk staff were excellent and helped us arrange some last minute details like car rental!

It is on the beach and that is the biggest selling point. It’s in a refurbished building which many might find appealing. I found it quiet and comfortable. Great location. Four doors down from Dive Center Pietermaai. The rooms are European meaning somewhat small. Service is outstanding. Very friendly. On-site restaurant and bar generally reasonable for drinks and meals. Nice views. My biggest complaint is the TV. Bad reception, no streaming. Parking can be a challenge. You’re in Pietermaai street parking. They have WiFi which is pretty fast so you can stream on your phone. Nice infinity pool.

Muy bien ubicado cerca del centro histórico y muy linda vista al mar del restaurante

The hotel sold us one room type but assigned us a completely different one. We paid extra for an ocean view, based on the photos provided, but were given a room facing a building that totally blocked the view. Additionally, the bathroom had a strong sewage smell. We had to leave the doors and windows open to ventilate the room, forcing us to endure the extreme heat.

El restaurante es muy caro y no tiene buen servicio.

The property is great and well-located. The Dive Shop is right next to it. Everyone at Scuba Lodge was very helpful, friendly, and welcoming. We will definitely be staying with them again next time.

Charming boutique hotel right within walking distance of Willemstad harbor and downtown. The food in the restaurant was fabulous (and so was the ambience of being able to each right in the sand and on the water. The infinity pool was lovely. And, the staff ... so helpful. I had medical emergency, and the clerk at the front desk bent over backwards to help me get in to see her eye doctor. Thanks a million for that!

Room had quite a steep stairway up to it (so, if mobility is an issue, be sure to ask for a ground floor room). The lighting in our 3rd-floor bedroom was dimmer than I'd have liked. I'm a big windows person, and since the gables didn't allow for super large windows, more lighting would've been nice. Though on the water, you should be aware that this hotel isn't really on a beach. It's on a rocky plateau above the water. This plateau is covered with sand. So, it looks charming. But, there's no gentle entry into the ocean (that involves a ladder), and the two days we were there, the water looked quite rough. I'd say this is really a property for adults (even if there is a playset on property, there's no real place for children to pay in the water or sand (unless that second non-infinity swimming pool opens back up).

Tivemos um upgrade de acomodação e nosso quarto foi ótimo! Muito espaçoso, cama maravilhosa, super confortável, ótima para recuperar as energias dos dias intensos. Muitos utensílios para alimentação no quarto! Banho sensacional!

A TV não estava preparada para assistir os jogos da copa do mundo! Poderia ter uma mesa interna para refeição no quarto. Tem bastante espaço! 🥰

Very clean and staff welcoming

Limpio, muy bonitas las instalaciones

Cuesta conseguir parqueo, pues es en la calle y se llena bastante la zona, que el aire acondicionado no enfriaba lo suficiente y cuando llegamos los contenedores de basura estaban muy llenos y olían bastante mal

Wonderful hotel, great holiday destination

Personal de recepcion muy amable, dan guia turisitca en la habitacion, te ayudan guardando equipaje, incluso me acompañaron a tomar mi transporte, bastante queridas. Restaurante cena y almuerzo, comida deliciosa.

El restaurante la comida deliciosa,solo que una noche pese a estar en las bancas del lado del mar, y al querer entrar por ese costado al restaurante a cenar, un mesero me dijo que no había mesa, como no me vio rubia sentí una leve actitud no tan amable, le dije que me hospedaba en el hotel, otro mesero más cordial me ubicó en una mesa interior y fue más amable. Quiza porque en su mayoria son europeos los huespedes. Pero los demas meseros solventaron con mejor servicio.

El lugar es muy lindo, las instalaciones son espectaculares. El personal es súper amable, las habitaciones súper limpias y hermosas. Tuvimos la oportunidad de estar dos veces en dos semanas. Muy recomendado.

não tivemos café da manhã em nossa estadia.... a piscina o restaurante o banheiro e a Bahia artificial feita para os hospedes do hotel são excelentes... ésta foi nossa segunda vez no hotel.... fomos devido a reforma feita e a Bahia ali construída.... foi bem legal aproveitar isso

infelizmente devido a idade do imóvel ele tem um cheiro forte de mofo.... mais ja sabíamos disso pois foi nossa segunda hospedagem ali... porem este quarto reformado estava bem melhor que o da visita anterior

Muy hermoso lugar, está cerca de todo. Las instalaciones son muy confortables. Tiene, restaurante, bar y piscinas. También salida al mar.

Everyrhing! Friendly staff,excellent apartament, best location, amazing food.

The hotel did not disappoint. The location and facilities are amazing - two pools and direct access to the ocean - being able to swim early in the morning by walking a minute from your room is great. We had a GoPro and were so happy to snorkel and positively surprised how clean the water was and the visibility was amazing. Got to see a lot more near the hotel than we did on some of the beaches when it comes to fish :) It is also a close walking distance to the city center district. Breakfast at the restaurant was also tasty. Room was clean, spacious. Staff were kind and helpful. Cons: gets quite noisy from the street (cars) and can be difficult to find a parking spot (parking is free and it seems this is quite a spot for many people to park for free to get to the city center - where there is only a paid parking)

La atención, las instalaciones y la ubicación

Hotel is nicely renovated. Cool vibe. Location is great- walking distance to city and good restaurants.

Service in restaurant - especially for breakfast is really slow. We booked a oceanview room, but as the room was on the ground floor, there was no oceanview at all. There are onnly a few beachbeds and some of them you even have to pay for.

Top Lage, schönes Zimmer mit allem was man braucht, hilfsbereites Personal

Staying the first 3 nights of our week-long Curacao visit at Scuba Lodge was the perfect introduction to this island. As fans of preservation, we were impressed by the historic restorations of the 5 beautiful houses that make up this rainbow-colored hotel. Everything in town is merely an interesting urban-Caribbean walk away. We loved having breakfast on the waterfront (we are not big morning eaters so we ordered one generously sized plate to share just because we enjoyed sitting out there. Share the pumpkin pancakes!). We had dinner at the hotel's restaurant one night and it was a very romantic scene dining under the stars (order the coconut soup). The only thing that could make our stay better next time is to book an ocean view room! One tip: We had rented a car for the week but we didn't really need it (to go to the West beaches and explore generally) until the third day. So we could have saved ourselves two days of rental fees. The hotel staff kindly helped us find free street parking as there seems to be no parking on the property.

Very nice and accommodating staff

Our stay was beyond expectation. Cosy hotel, very nice staff, great location. No better place to stay in Willemstad we think. Restaurant and food, absolutely great. The lay-out of the hotel is very special. You get to your room through nice walks in the garden, or through very special corridors. GREAT!

Loved the balcony with seating overlooking the ocean. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and the staff were very friendly.

Difficult to find parking. The free welcome drink was limited to only two options and alcohol was not included. My pina colada was way too sweet, I could barely drink any.

A wonderful property in a great location for exploring Willemstad and the rest of the Island.

Nothing

room was very comfortable, staff very friendly, food good and we really enjoyed the newly created beach and sea opportunities that was in the past not available (to go directly into the sea from the hotel)

Our room was situated quite close to the street which was sometimes quite noisy in the morning when traffic started to come alive.

The friendly staff, the location by a beautiful sea cove and the beautiful building.

It felt expensive for a 3-stars hotel and no breakfast included.

Location is perfect: in the pretty Pietermaai district with lots of restaurants around, colorful houses and then two pools plus ocean access- we liked it a lot. The little kitchen had everything we needed. We had some issues with the safe and the TV during our stay but the staff wad always quick to take care of it.

Could have been a bit cleaner (it fits very dusty due to street debris) and if you are noise sensitive, bring earplugs for sleeping (we did, so no issues :)). 2

Locatie is geweldig, sinds ze een strandje hebben aangelegd kun je ook in zee zwemmen. Restaurant De Heeren is leuk erbij.

Interieur begint een beetje te verouderen, maar nog steeds goed genoeg. Parkeerplek vinden kan lastig zijn, zeker in de avond.

Facilidad para el buceo

Faltaba playa de arena

Excelente el hospedaje aquí. todo nos encantó los servicios ,la habitación , las áreas .

Loved the historic look/feel. The oceanview terrace suite was nice, but other rooms are just not worth the price. Cleanliness was passable - floors were only cleaned once in our almost 2 week stay and you clean the dishes yourself. Warning there are a lot of stairs if you do not want a room in the busy bottom floor with restaurant traffic. I am particularly upset about the false advertisement on their website, please see attached "Special" still listed on their website 3 months after I brought it to their attention. There is NO free massage or transfer, they are both run by independent businesses (waited 1.5 hrs at airport for more guests too), that do not know anything about the promotion. Staff gave me the run around, finally saying they didn't know about the promotion and to wait for the manager who never materialized. Waited a lot at reception for staff that was sitting chatting on the back. The pools are way too cold and unclean, my husband was the only one to enough to try it once during our stay, everyone else avoided it. The little cove of sea is very popular as it is the only place to swim in a long stretch so it is used mostly by guests at other hotels which fill the recliners. The hotel has only a few recliners itself (and with no shade or umbrellas), mostly being the restaurant's (also not affiliated to the hotel (and with lackluster food). You need to consume to be able to use them and they fill very fast. Overall, I cannot recommend. You are paying for the exterior of the hotel and the location, wanted to love it but would never go back.

We loved our stay at Scuba Lodge! The location of the historic Scuba Lodge is in Pietermaai which has amazing fruit loop coloured architecture that includes shops and many restaurants. It is also a short walk to the heart of Willemstad. Our room was perfect with a kitchenette and a lovely balcony. It was quiet at night for sleeping and easily cooled with just the fan. Our room was tidied each day and it was nice to come back to a clean room. The hotel grounds were immaculate and we loved the coved beach and the infinity pool. The sunsets were lovely to watch from the beach front. Also, the staff at Scuba Lodge were friendly and helpful! We found compared to other hotels in the area that the Scuba Lodge was good value for you money.

Ligging en sfeer, keuken & ontbijt

Weinig service, op enkele uitzonderingen na was de bediening echt ondermaats

Amazing I’ll be back here it’s very cozy

Amazing and very cozy. I’ll come back here

Great hotel, nice room, nice pool and beach area and friendly staff.

Everything about Scuba Lodge was wonderful. Great location, big room, nicely functional bathroom, very helpful staff. I would come back.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Scuba Lodge in Curaçao. The rooms were comfortable, the views were beautiful, and we especially loved spending time at the pool—it was such a relaxing place to unwind after a day of exploring. The food on property was delicious and the drinks were wonderful. The staff was an absolute delight to work with. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable whenever we had questions. We also appreciated the daily housekeeping, which kept everything fresh and tidy throughout our stay. One suggestion would be to leave a small broom or Swiffer in the rooms so guests can easily clean up sand after returning from the beach. Additionally, I wish there was a way to get more of a breeze through the downstairs area. Since there is no air conditioning, it personally wouldn’t have been comfortable for me to cook there, though we didn’t do any cooking during our stay. One area that did leave us slightly disappointed was that our room did not look exactly like the photos shown on the website. It would be very helpful if the specific rooms were clearly named and matched with accurate photos so guests know exactly what they are reserving. This would help set expectations and avoid confusion. That said, the location was perfect. We loved being able to walk downtown to explore, sightsee, and enjoy local restaurants. We ate out often and had fantastic meals everywhere we went. It was the ideal balance of convenience and island charm. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed our time. We can’t wait to return to Curaçao and would happily stay again.

We had a great experience at Scuba Lodge for our first trip in Curacao. The hotel staff was friendly and very helpful as they helped us book tours when we had problems and had more towels brought up to our room when the cleaning lady took some, but didn’t replace them. The food at the restaurant was good and reasonably priced as were drinks at the bar. The front desk gave me an adapter to use to plug in my phone as the AAA lady I booked this trip with said I wouldn’t need one. The resort was in a great location being very close to downtown. There are great views of the sunset outback at the resort.

My 14 year old daughter and I spent a week there in February (12-19). We had a very spacious 2BD suite overlooking the ocean. We were just steps away from the pool and the ocean. Kitchen was well equipped (we did not cook) and coffee pods were replenished daily. A hand written welcome note and a bottle of wine greeted us upon arrival to our room. Maid service was daily and the room was very clean. Location is terrific, close to many fine restaurants and a short 10 minute walk in to Willemstad. As it is a high end resort, the fellow guests were well behaved and polite. Several families with young children were guests as well. Several of the windows and door only have shutters, which means there is noise coming through. When there is music playing at night from nearby establishments it can be noisy although the bedrooms have windows to dampen the noise (better, not perfect). The staff is friendly and accommodating. There is a restaurant associated with the hotel which was not memorable (neither the food nor the service) and many better food options are within a few minutes (steps) from the resort. About 200 meters west of the resort there is construction. Not minor. Giant machinery digging in to the ocean floor. It is awful. Disruptive, headache inducing. We went diving 4 of the 7 days and were gone from 8am - 2pm. When we returned they were done for the day. They also took the weekends off. This construction would not only affect Scuba lodge, but all the adjacent beach resorts. While not the fault of Scuba lodge or any of the other resorts, I would be hard pressed to recommend the area during the construction. Yes, it’s that bad. Without the construction, this place would be easy to recommend.

Charming boutique hotel in a great location, right on the water’s edge, 10 minute walk to Willemstad and a huge selection of restaurants. Booked last minute so got a standard room which was bright, clean and comfy. We shall definitely return.

Natural Great food Spacious Good access to water Snorkeling

Love Scuba Lodge! The rooms are clean and nice, the location at the ocean ( what a view!) near mambo beach and the famous pontjesbrug perfect but what i really love is the authenticity . The staff is so nice , so sincere. Miss it already!

This hotel is simply wonderful ! Staff are full of The Punda Vibes ! Life is a joy ! Great location - by the Coast - yet in the middle of City life .

Scuba lodge is a very special place, the staff are so friendly & helpful. A spit lets you swim protected in the sea and its own little pool on the beach. Chilled vibe right on the ocean with beach and a very tasty restaurant. We stayed twice on our trip to Curaçao in an Ocean room and a suite - truly amazing we hope to come back soon

The hotel facilities were wonderful, the staff were amazing and the location in Pietermaai was ideal. Unfortunately our City View room was closest to the road (don’t stay in room 25) where the street noise kept us awake all night. Seems like street racing and very loud cars are popular in the late hours of the night and early hours of the morning in Curacao. Ugh! Our stay in Curacao, while beautiful and amazing during the day, was anything but relaxing or restful at night. Is there a way to improve the sound dampening in room 25.

The staff was amazing. We had a minor issue with our room when we checked in, but the staff made it work for my two sons and me. The facilities are clean, and the bar and restaurant staff are super friendly. Great views of the ocean. The infinity pool is great!

Hotel excelente em todos os aspectos. Um destaque aos funcionários da recepção que são extremamente gentis e carismáticos, fazendo questão de tentar falar em português conosco. Quartos muito confortáveis; limpeza diária; área externa maravilhosa e cheia de atrativos, com duas piscinas. Há um acesso privado à praia que é um show à parte pela vida marinha que fica lá e pode ser vista fazendo snorkel. Cardápio do restaurante muito diverso. Localização muito boa para acesso às praias do sul e para as ruas mais agitadas na noite.

Nada a reclamar.

Eten @heeren at sea, goed bed, mooie suite

Zeezicht viel tegen, hadden suite op gelijkvloers maar hadden 1ste verdieping verwacht. Geen wasmachine aanwezig in de kamer. Hadden dit gemeld maar hierna geen alternatief gekregen om onze kleren te laten wassen.

Fantastic location with beatifull views right in the heart of the Pietermaai district! Staff is very friendly and helpfull with whatever you need. We really enjoyed our stay, and will return to Scuba Lodge for sure!

Scuba Lodge and Ocean Suites is an excellent choice for those who would like to spoil themselves a bit. The room was clean, the pools were well taken care of and the staff were friendly. Our flight had us arrive at the hotel at 9:30 am and check-in was not until 4:00. I had called ahead to ask if we could store our luggage early. Not only did they accommodate that, they gave us a tour and access to change rooms, the washroom, and the pools, even though we were hours ahead of check-in. Then they got us a room before 2:00 pm. This is the kind of staff you hope every location has.

Heerlijk boutiquehotel op een toplocatie in Willemstad. Mooie kamers in de kleurrijke huisjes en toegang tot zwembad en strandje voor de deur. Het komt je aan niets tekort tijdens je verblijf!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Shenard helped us a lot to plan our week and get to see the best of Curacao. He even helped me install my eSIM! The location is the best

The lodge is actually a series of older houses turned into a hotel. Each has his own entrance, and there is no elevator. I loved the old-fashioned nature of it and since I was snorkeling every day, didn’t mind the climb up to the top floor, which had a lovely view of both the water and the moon. The staff was very friendly and carried the suitcases — all in all, it was a lovely place to stay, with a sense of history and charm.

I cannot say enough good things about the beautiful monument buildings that are Scuba Lodge. Being right on Pietermaai in the heart of Willemstad is a bonus as you are within walking distance to some of the best restaurants on the island! We had a lovely room with a well stocked kitchenette with more than enough utensils and dinnerware to prepare easy meals. One unexpected bonus was the unlimited coffee pods that were replenished daily...what a treat! And our cleaning crew did a really good job every day. There are loungers on the sunning beach, that also has sea access, along with 2 swimming pools, for your pleasure. I will definitely return!

Location and the building was pretty, hotel staff (not the restaurant!) were friendly and thoughtful. The pool was lovely and being close to the ocean was great.

Overpriced for basic rooms, on site restaurant was noisy, especially for the rooms next to it. Restaurant guests more important than hotel guests.

An outstanding stay at the cozy, boutique Scuba Lodge. Confortable room, with excellent poolside ocean views with access to a sheltered bay for a eelaxing swim. Top-notch staff, who were always eager to assist with any questions that I had, along with providing excellent advice and arranging sight-seeing excurions . Located in the heart of the Pietermaai neighbourhood, a UNESCO World Hertigage site, you are within walking distance of the the sights, sounds, food and music that this beautiful Island offers. I highly recommend Scuba Lodge! Ian Sweet New Brunswick Canada

Regarding my stay at Scuba Lodge, in the street-facing apartment, I can only say wonderful things. The experience was amazing from the very beginning. The atmosphere, with its historical character and beautiful architecture, adds so much charm and personality to the place. I truly loved every detail of the apartment. The bed was extremely comfortable, with impeccable linens. The shower also deserves special mention. Great water pressure, which makes a big difference to me after long days of sun and sea. The kitchen is very well equipped, with a refrigerator and freezer, induction cooktop, microwave, and oven, all in perfect working condition. There is a small table with two stools, ideal for breakfast, and also a lovely balcony with a table for four, overlooking the street and its beautiful colorful houses. Such a charming view. 😍 Regarding breakfast, we did not book it daily, but we had an à la carte experience, and everything we ordered was excellent. The entire team was always kind, attentive, and proactive. 🥰 We booked the apartment directly with the hotel, and it was a great experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Scuba Lodge. Thank you very much for the wonderful stay. We already can’t wait to return! 😎

Great place for breakfast. We just walked in to have a look did they serve breakfast. The had quite wide menu. Staff was friendly and breakfast was really good.

We had an absolute blast. The staff at scuba Lodge was outstanding. The first day our mattress was a little uncomfortable and scuba. Lodge changed it immediately. Our room was stocked with tea, coffee, and creamer daily and cleaned beautifully as well. There was a nice coffee shop/restaurant next-door and the location was perfect for walking into town at night. we stayed in a one bedroom suite with a kitchenette, and it worked out great . We would definitely recommend scuba Lodge.

Fantastiskt boende, stor fin lägenhet m kök för 4 personer. Fin balkong med havsutsikt. Området, restaurangen, personalen och närliggande dykcenter, allt var toppen. Nära att promenera 10 minuter till Queen Emma Bridge.

Location.

Room was very small and noisy. Some windows only shutters that don’t close very well and dont block the noise. All Windows need glass. Door also not properly sealing

Mooie locatie . Rustieke uitstraling

Locatie en het restaurant

Het parkeren bij het hotel

Do not hesitate! I loved this stay! Incredible location, clean, kind staff, excellent restaurant and bar, quiet, this place has it ALL. Absolutely loved it and would stay again. It was so good that our next island has been overshadowed and out done ! I will recommend Scuba Lodge to all of my friends.

Wat een geweldige ervaring. Alles was top. Personeel weet wat excellent customer service is. Hopelijk snel weer terug

Niets

Friendly east service

Room was a studio - I didn’t actually need all the kitchen stuff

Location is great

One: no lifts, so keep that in mind and for beach chairs, you have to pay, apparently, an arrangement with neighboring restaurant, recommend to inform guests before!

Me gustó la ubicación, la atención amable del personal, la habitación con cocina y refrigeradora grande, la zona de la poltronas en el malecón frente al mar. Un hotel muy lindo con las construcciones típicas de Curazao!

Lo único que sugeriría es que también tengan aire acondicionado en el área de la cocina-sala-comedor de la habitación de un dormitorio.

The staff were wonderful and the location was easy to get into town. The room was comfortable. Having a kitchen means we could have breakfast on the balcony, then a nice swim before starting the day. Plus right on the ocean

The kitchen could be better equipped, it was missing a lot and kept it from being useful for dinners.

The ocean view

Staff at restaurant

Todo

En la habitación y en algunas zonas comunes había malos olores de vez en cuando, pero lo notamos en varios puntos del centro de la isla.

My check in and airport escort had me feeling like a celebrity. The hotel is beautiful and has the charm of Petermaii with all of the modern amenities one could hope for. It's extremely laid back in the best way. Staff is always there should the need arise and they were the most lovely people you could hope for. I am completely obsessed with Curacao now and I cannot wait to come back again soon.

We'd spent eleven nights at the Scuba Lodge in October 2025 and felt right at home. We very much enjoyed the super friendly hotel staff, our comfortable and spacious superior room and the amenities offered by the hotel in it's unique historic buildings. We relaxed on the deck chairs at the pool and the sea access area, there are plenty of fish to admire snorkeling inside and outside the wave barrier. The location within Pietermaai district and the vicinity to Nieuw Straat with hospitable bars and good restaurants and the close city centre are super convient. Though there isn't any need to go far because the De Heeren @ Sea restaurant on the premises is excellent, offering a wide range of tasty snacks and meals throughout the day, superb dinner and refreshing drinks and cocktails. We've had a rental car for most of the time and always found a free parking space close to the hotel. The only improvement I'd suggest is that the room descriptions in regard to the different categories had been a bit confusing to us as. The very friendly and caring hotel team ensured that we had a perfect and memorable stay at the Scuba Lodge. We will definitely consider the hotel again for our next visit on the beautiful island of Curacao.
