Don Genaro Apartments

Our stay at this beautiful house in Curacao was absolutely unforgettable. Surrounded by peaceful scenery, wildlife and fresh air, it felt like the perfect escape from busy everyday life. Waking up to the sounds of nature and relaxing in a calm and private setting made the experience incredibly special. The house was clean, comfortable and thoughtfully designed, with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Being one with nature. I love waking up to the sounds of the birds singing and iguanas climbing from tree to tree. It's such a peaceful place. I was excited to see them in the morning and, throughout the day, sneaking behind you to steal crumbs on the floor or drink the drips from the faucet. The smell of fresh air, the wind touching my skin, and the movement of the trees' leaves are very comforting. Looking at the greenery is like watching a huge TV screen of life unfold around you. I don't want to forget to mention the tortoises that love to eat fresh fruits and veggies. We love visiting them every day in their little houses. We definitely enjoyed our three-bedroom, two-bathroom, with a kitchen and a washing machine. The house is ideal for all our needs. It's very roomy, with plenty of space to put anything and everything you bring. It is also a few feet away from the big swimming pool, so that we can take a dip anytime. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything one might need for cooking. There's a blender to make smoothies anytime. A portable cooler is available for bringing cold beers and juices to the beach.

Mosquitoes are always around but we had the thermacell to help keep them out in the early mornings and when the sun goes down in the afternoon. Other than that they are minimal during the day.

We felt very comfortable. The hosts were wonderful. The grounds are fantastic, with two pools. We spotted green parrots and hummingbirds in the garden, not to mention the lizards and turtles. Don Genaro is near the best beaches.

A true oasis of calm. The accommodation is very comfortable, with a spacious bedroom and bathroom and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. The property is beautifully green and includes a small petting zoo and two lovely swimming pools. The hosts are incredibly kind and helpful.

La tranquillité… l’équipement ..la propreté ..la gentillesse du personnels adorable .

Rien

The perfect location ! tranquil and set in stunning gardens ! the hosts welcoming and friendly and have loads of information to share about the island ! my apartment casa colores, was spotless and spacious with its indoor outdoor feel and amazing pool which was perfect after a day exploring the island, the beaches within reach from this amazing property are simply divine, a car is a must and I would check with the owners first who rent cars also before you go to the car hire companies on the island ! Curacao is super easy to drive around, and it does give you the freedom to explore - Christopher Elke and Susanne thank you for the most magical stay , I will def return and highly recommend it to all !!

The apartments and the facilities are modern and nice. You can tell that everything was built with attention to detail, making our stay pleasant and relaxing.

There is limited restaurants in the area. While we knew there was a charge for AC, it was not transparent how much it would be until we were already there.

De locatie op het eiland

Niet alles wat via de site van booking.com werd beloofd (zoutwaterzwembad, waterkoker, strandhanddoeken en koffie-en theefaciliteiten in de bar) was aanwezig. We moesten de elektriciteitskosten apart afrekenen. Wij hadden dat bedrag liever inclusief in de huurkosten gehad.

Me gustó mas, su ubicación, cerca a las mejores playas, el hotel era espacioso, contaba con 2 piscinas, todo el hotel estaba limpio y ordenado, la atención de los anfitriones fue muy buena

Nada, todo fue bueno

The location was great; beautiful scenery. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful. Love the layout and design of the rooms and property

It would have been nice to have bicycles to ride.

Nous avons visité Don Genaro fin octobre 2025. Nous avons loué le "château" du site. Les chambres; Percival et Camelot situé versant ouest offrent la vue pour les couchés de soleil. Les 2 chambres communiquent par les cuisines extérieures et offrent une vue imprenable sur la végétation luxuriante et sur les montagnes aux loin. Une terrasse sur le toit permet même de profiter d'une vue 360 degrés et des étoiles en soirée. Une brise y est presque toujours constante. Les chambres climatisées étaient propres et relativement confortables. Toutes 2 munies d'un lit king. La plus grande des deux chambres à aussi un lit simple mais elle nécessiterait un nouveau matelas du lit principal pour un plus grand confort. Le personnel était à l'écoute de nos besoins et la communication était facile, nous avons pu obtenir des oreillers et linges à vaisselle supplémentaires à notre demande. Les chambres sont sécurisées à l'aide de systèmes d'alarme et le site est entouré de clôture avec grille à ouverture électrique. Un espace de stationnement est situé en bas du domaine. J'ai beaucoup apprécié la tranquillité de l'endroit comme le site est situé en retrait de l'agitation de la ville une voiture est nécessaire selon moi pour profiter pleinement des possibilités de l'île. La location est possible à même le Don Genaro. J'ai adoré l'endroit, le personnel et les installations. Étant plongeurs, nous avons grandement apprécié l'endroit prévu pour rincer et faire sécher l'équipement. La possibilité de louer des tanks de plongée à même le site était un must (via Dive Central). Les piscines (2) étaient propres et bien entretenues. Des chemins de petits cailloux ou de pavés nous permettent l'accès aux différents endroits du Don Genaro. Le terrain n'étant pas plat pourrait causer des difficultés au personne à mobilité réduite comme plusieurs paliers et marches sont présents sur le site.

We really loved the garden of this accomodation, with all its beautiful trees and animals. Outside living here is a wonderful experience. Our kids were very happy with the pool. Don Genaro is a quiet, peaceful place to experience the other side of Curacao.

Exceptionally welcoming and helpful hosts, beautiful apartment of exactly the right size and very tastefully arranged. Great location, minutes away from beaches and attractions. The premises with beautiful garden and pools available at all times. Quiet and isolation from neighbors.

Can't think of anything.

Location is especially lovely!

The bed is rather bulky.

Rented the Moringa apartment for 13 nights which has lots of space for two people. Unit was very clean. Bed was quite comfortable but pillows were pretty awful and should be replaced. Garden was gorgeous and peaceful and offers a lot of privacy. Neighborhood is mostly quiet, but for the guard dogs on the property and next door. Location was great to access our preferred Sabana Westpunt beaches and some decent restaurants. Well equipped kitchen was only missing a good knife or two.

Common areas like the pools need attention: broken tiles are one thing but both pools need a good scrub and definitely don’t feel that clean, despite the amount of chlorine in the big pool. They say you get starter amounts of basics like coffee and toilet paper which we know is very common but we’re surprised to not have any garbage bags and about 3 days worth of hand soap in the bathroom and dish soap in the kitchen. We have rented apartments all of the world and have never had this issue (alternatively, our current apartment on another part of Curacao provides full soaps in the kitchen and bathroom for our 5-night stay). They ask you to change the garbage every two days but there were no garbage bags in the unit. Thankfully, some extra were provided when requested so we didn’t have to buy a pack of bags etc - garbages were also not changed with the once cleaning provided half way through our stay.

This was our first trip to Curacao. We were lucky to choose this excellent location, in the countryside, not far from the beautiful beaches in the northern side of Curacao. The apartment has a nice outdoor kitchen equiped with a fridge, cooffee maker, toaster and even a barbecue area( didn't use it this time, we plan to come back) The bed is comfortable, the bathroom is big and has a nice shower. As improvement for our appartment i would suggest blinders to the bedroom windows. Beautiful vegetation, a lot of birds and even a couple of turtles. We planned the trip in a very short time so we did not have the time to verify for renting a car with Don Genaro, we used our usual provider for the online service and also to accumulate the points. We understood Don Genaro has competitive rates for rent a car, next time we will check with them in advance. There are 2 pools on the premises, we did not use them but the area is beautiful. Christopher showed us a place where the divers can clean and hang the diving material. The hosts are very attentive, they provided us with a lot of information regarding the beaches, booking activities and they help you with what you need. Excellent service!

Doesn't have anything to do with the Don Genaro but good to know in the month of december in Curacao the moskitos are really very active. Also it is countryside, and for the light sleepers some nights your sleep can be disturbed by the neighbor's barking dogs.

Staff were very helpful, the rooms and the grounds were lovely. A very relaxing experience and a great location for exploring the island.

The bed was a little creaky when rolling over at night.
