Het balkon! Ontbijten met zicht op de dolfijnen. Het privestrand. Zeer comfortabele bedden, superuitgeruste keuken
Geen opmerkingen
Me encantó, la tranquilidad, la ubicación y la playa privada.
no hubo nada que no nos gustara.
Complete inventaris, aan alles is gedacht om de eerste dagen door te komen (vaatwasblokjes, wc papier etc) Een verassingspakket bij aankomst, geweldig!

The location is amazing!! Easy walking distance to Mambo. So convenient. Quiet and quaint when you wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle. A great way to wind down after days in the sun. We could faintly hear the late night music from Mambo but not enough to disrupt sleep. Still close enough to feel close to the action. My teens favorite beach ended up being Mambo so it was a great fit for us! We could do the more rural beaches earlier in the day and easily end at Mambo and get the beach service.
Everything was beautiful!
Staff muito disponível. Apartamentos espaçosos, excelente localização perto de uma das melhores regiões de Curacao, praia privativa muito bonita
Poderiam deixar mais claro no anúncio que é um condomínio privado e não necessariamente um hotel/resort. Poderiam oferecer opções de café da manhã.
Hjelpsom personell, veldig ryddig, fin og stor leilighet med stor uteplass og egen strand

The apartment was well supplied with everything we needed except a Keurig coffee pot, but there were two or three other options including some coffee pods that fit one of the pots. The unit was recently acquired and there were a few minor problems that when brought to the attention of the team they were quickly taken care of. The location was convenient for taking a bus into town, or for walking to shops and restaurants. We found a favorite just 2 short blocks away. The private beach was an extra nice addition. A multi team WhatsApp was set up so we could easily locate a staff person or ask a question. We are already planning a return!
Es un tipo de Villa que está muy bien ubicada, se puede ir caminando a playa Mambo y acuario. Además tiene una pequeña playa privada y piscina. Son departamentos amplios, cómodos y bien equipados. Tienen estacionamiento. Hay comunicación fluida con el staff, te ayudan rápidamente ante cualquier problema.
En realidad pocas cosas, había un poco de olor a humedad. Si bien la cocina está muy bien equipada, nos faltaron contenedores para guardar cosas, pero en realidad es mínimo.

We loved the property
Superbe appartement très bien situé et équipé. Belle piscine et agréable petite plage privée. Accueil excellent.
Les lits sont un peu trop durs à mon goût
Kjemprfint område, nydeleg basseng og strand. Fin leiligheit. Korte avstandar
Ingenting negativt.
The property has a private beach which was one of the best beachs of the island. It is near Mambo's beach where you can find several restaurants and shops. There is a free bus everyday to a supermarket.
The lighting in the kitchen wasn’t sufficient.
Das Apartement ist sehr gräumig, bietet viel Platz und hat eine grosse Terrasse. Lässt keineWünsche offen.
ubicacion, instalaciones, playa privada
Todo perfecto
Het appartement Floral dreams is perfect voor een gezin van 5 (met 3 tienerzonen): de locatie (zowel in het resort zelf als op het eiland - je huurt wel het best een auto), de bedden/slaapkamers, de voorzieningen … Aan het strandje van het resort kan je perfect snorkelen. Door de ligging bij het aquarium zie je ook de haaien zwemmen achter een onderwaterhek. Sara was zeer behulpzaam: antwoordde direct op onze vragen en bracht extra spullen indien nodig. Als we ooit terug naar Curaçao gaan, boeken we hier zeker opnieuw!
Alles was goed. Het enige wat voor ons ontbrak, was een filterkoffiemachine (maar dat is natuurlijk persoonlijke voorkeur) Er was wel een koffiemachine met capsules.
geweldig appartement op prachtige locatie

everything was awesome!
nothing bad, everything was Ok.
First time to Curacao and the trip was amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better 50th birthday trip. The locals, history, food, and beaches all provided for a “MASHA DUSHI” trip. We will definitely run it back.
Great place to vacation.
Small beach. Pool too deep . Have to pay extra for electricity if you go over daily usage. You have to wash your own towels and you need electricity for that. No staff on cite after a certain time. Staff was not all that helpful.
Dejlig udsigt
Hyggelig lille strand
Our family loved this vacation rental! Clean, modern, with plenty of room inside and out for us to spend a fabulous week in Curacao. We loved the private beach and the pool under the palm trees, it was a perfect quiet retreat from the busy activity of Mambo beach just steps away. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking and it was great to be able to do a load of laundry. The staff at the property helped arrange car transfers and answered questions, we felt very safe and had easy access to all the island had to offer. It was definitely luxury standard for this part of the world and we highly recommend. Thank you!!

The resort we stayed in was very nice. Pool was perfect on a hot day and the private beach was perfect! Snorkeling even by the private beach was really good and the close proximity to Mambo Beach and all of the restaurants was also a plus! Sarah and Nisa did an excellent job helping us and the savings we had on our excursion was a nice bonus! Overall l, very nice and would recommend. Will definitely stay here again when we return to Curacao!!
Location was excellent. Penthouse had pool and ocean views. Property was clean and organized. Staff was very helpful and responsive. Close to beaches and restaurants and other hotel properties. Internet connection in property was spotty and TV reception bad. Electricity usage closely monitored. Practical items were missing like towel racks in 2nd bathroom and trashcans in bedrooms. No elevators, just stairs. All in all, I would return and stay again in this tropical oasis.
Spacious and clean
Nothing
We really enjoyed our stay. We rented the Sunrise View apartment. The balcony overlooked the Dolphin Academy. The private beach was great as there were plenty of chairs and shade available. Mambo Beach is very close to walk to, which had plenty of shops and restaurants. The hosts were very helpful and always responded very quickly. We would definitely stay again.
We had a really spacious 3 bedroom apartment with a large patio. It really elevated or Curacao holiday! There’s a large and deep pool (and a small kids pool), and a really nice private beach. There’s a 45 kwh electricity limit per day, which was plenty for us - we ended up using about 35 per day by being conservative with the AC use (only using it when needed and not on 24/7). Snorkels were provided free of charge which we greatly appreciated. The bedroom tv supported airplay, which made streaming your favorite movies easy, while the living room tv was different and although in theory had a lot of channels and options just was too difficult to use. There is a daily free shuttle to the closest supermarket (which is not within walking distance) but we ended up renting a car (which frankly is required to enjoy the island fully).
Would’ve been nice with a gas fired bbq, now there was only a charcoal one - and as you need to purchase charcoal yourself in those big bags it wasn’t really a viable option for us.
Private beach access. Friendly and accommodating staff took care of everything.
Beautiful location, big and breezy balcony, amazing view
Nothing!
Beautiful property.
Property was in the perfect location, quiet with it's own beach but a short walk to shops and restaurants and Mambo beach. View was amazing. It was stocked with everything we needed for the week including beach towels. The owners were great and answered any questions immediately. Would stay here again
Was amazing location and hosts very responsive to every need would definitely stay again!
We first had an amazing impression even before booking. We had questions as we are a family with 3 little kids and the staff responded right away! Ellis even spoke to me on the phone and helped me with everything in regards to grocery orders and selecting the right apartment. Sarah was there to greet us upon arrival. They had snorkels, beach toys ready for us and we were in the beautiful pool steps away from the ocean within minutes. The beach was perfect for our family. No snorkelling trip was needed as we had plenty of fish to see in the calm beautiful lagoon. We would walk to the mambo area every night (3 minute walk) for either dinner, snacks or ice cream. Watching the sunset every night was excellent end to the day. For our family this was perfect and a great alternative to an all inclusive type resort. It was calm, quiet, we had family breakfast outside each morning with an ocean view. We have already reserved a spot for next year as I dont think we could ask for a better place to stay. Thank you to the staff here!
There was no breakfast. Liked the pool, private beach, location, large kitchen, ocean view from second floor. Rules for closure of common areas after 7 pm. Pool, beach etc.
No instructions for use of appliances, stove, microwave, washer, dryer, very confusing and inconvenient as cooked alot and with use of beach, pool used a great deal. Grill provided was impossible to clean. Need better alternative. Limited hours of staff on site. Would like expanded availability. Often gone late morning till mid, late afternoon. Also, often pool was monopolized by families with young children, with pool toys etc. I am an older person who swims laps and wish there was a schedule for my use of the pool. Found often parents did not accompany children at pool. Or stayed for hours.
Fantastic location and a wonderful place to stay! The apartment was beautiful and we really enjoyed the luxury of the pool and private beach! The hosts were so helpful!
Quite and close to everything
Nothing
Great location and walking distance to everything!!
Nothing comes to mind
Location was great. Private beach. Pool pm site. Lots of excursions and restaurants nearby. Spacious rooms, felt just like home.
Not much to not like. Everything was wonderful. The condo is a remodel so other than not being a new facility it was fine. You can see some minor aging on walls, doors, but the remodel looks good.
Location is the best in Curacao. It’s quiet but close to mumba beach and just in front of the Curacao Dolphin academy. The management is the best, very responsive and friendly.
Nothing
We stayed at the Violet Blossom for 7 nights. Very good location near the pool, appartement had large terrace with everything needed. The furniture is a bit dated and I would rate the kitchen equipment as fair. The property is very nice, you can snorkel directly from the beach and see lots of under water wild life. Pool area is nice as well and very clean.
Private beach with great snorkeling. Close to shops, restaurants and trails. Wonderful location.
Loved, loved the beautiful private beach. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Location right next to Mango Beach with all sorts of small venues to eat and drink. Own tiny, private beach and swimming pool, few people. Beautiful area, comfortable, well kept.
An affordable convenience store in the neighborhood would be fantastic.
The location is perfect to enjoy the private beach and Mambo beach.
Great location with true Carribean vibes, in close proximity to Mambo Beach Boulevard, with a cozy private beach. Big thanks to the CLHR team (Ellis, Sarah and Ramon) for doing everything possible to make us feel right at home.
Awesome. Great location right next to the sea aquarium. Private beach. Spacious apartment and great views. Host Sarah was super helpful. Hint: upon arrival, take a taxi service provided by the host and rent a car once settled in (also provided by the host).
Nothing to dislike
Great property!!! Well maintained, so clean and beautiful! Hosts are so kind and accommodating. I will go back in April. Excellent location, beautiful property walking distance to Seaquarium and Mambo beach, free shuttle to supermarket next door and absolutely great stay for family. It felt peaceful and quiet.. exactly what a vacation should be.
Everything was Perfect. We loved our stay. Clean and quiet, walking distance to restaurants. Beach was gorgeous,althoughit was small, it was just breathtaking. . Spent hours snorkeling and most of the time we were the only people on the beach. Sarah was very helpful and welcoming. The penthouse was beautiful with big terrace with pool and ocean view. Highly recommend. We'll definitely stay there again.
Hosts were very helpful and responded to questions right away. They were readily available and very hospitable.
There is no wifi at the pool. The place could use a painting update.
Great location with private sandy beach and pool. Very comfortable.
Great location and plenty of space to spread out in the unit! Staff was very attentive. Beautiful property with plenty to do nearby.
Clean and spacious apartment with spectacular views Private beach with lagoon swimming Private pool Location near great beaches and night life Staff available at all times through the what’s app Gated property. Safe! 10 minute walk to a state of the art gym
Have to pay extra for electricity if go over a limit set by the owner
Our stay here was nothing short of magical, with the crystal-clear waters and the soft, white sands just steps away from the apartment. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and memorable. Their recommendations for local dining and adventures added an authentic touch to my Curacao experience.
Excellent all round. The team looked after us so well. Fabulous private beach and an easy walk to the Mambo Beach area
The location was great. Our pool and private beach were quiet and relaxing and Mambo Beach was a short walking distance from our place. There, we could enjoy more bustle and activities, many options for food and also shopping.
Ellis and Raul were very receptive to our needs. They even loaned us a couple of snorkels for our stay. The view from our balcony was breathtaking and the apartment was quite comfortable for the four of us (Ocean Breeze). Also loved the private beach. It was never crowded and had more sea life than we found farther north on the island.
Can’t say I didn’t like it but the bedrooms would have been nicer with ceiling fans like in the living room since it’s so warm in Curacao.
Great, spacious appartment with ocean view. Private beach, large pool. Lots of restaurants in walking distance. Friendly, responsive staff. Highly recommended.
Property was right next to Mambo beach with lots of restaurants. It’s a quiet community at the end of the road. The pool was great. Had a little private beach. Offered full kitchen and washer dryer. Perfect week!!
Everything was great!
The location was fabulous. We liked that it was in a gated area yet within walking distance of the Mambo Beach boardwalk with many dining options, plus access to tours. In addition, the view from our balcony overlooked the ocean plus we were across from the dolphin aquatic park (a must see tour) and each morning we were treated to dolphins jumping out of the water!
Could have had more hooks or options for hanging our clothes as we were there a little over two weeks. The place was immaculate and the staff very accommodating
Location is the best. The unit is comfortable and nice. Excellent view, beautiful beach. The management team is very helpful.
Great customer service! Private beach is amazing with some of the best snorkeling!
Our apartment was clean and spacious. Sarah and Raul were so helpful with anything we needed. Breath-taking views!!!
Excellent place to stay in Curaçao. Our hosts were amazing and super responsive. The area is nice. Close to Mambo Beach and all of the amenities that it offers. We'll be back for sure.
It was a great stay and beautiful beach. Staff managing property were amazing and very attentive.
Location was perfect: private parking and private beach available. Apartment conditions were excellent with high quality furniture and appliances. Staff was very kind, always ready to provide information and to help.
Nothing, it was perfect!
Location was great, lovely appartement with good facilities. Private pool and beach were great.
Nothing really other than some small adjustments/updates are required. (Fe freezer drawer is broke, dish is leaking etc). Absolutely nothing major but someone should spend some time and go through the whole appartement for a few minor “touch-ups”.
Beautiful apartment and fully equipped. Location is great, with a large private pool and a really beautiful private beach. The garden is great with a lot of beautiful birds visiting. The resort makes a very safe impression, with code access for the entry gate and video security. Location is great, close to the Sea Aquarium, Mambo Beach and the Cabana, all within walking distance. It is a 10 minutes ride to the center of Willemstad. Also close is a large supermarket (7 minutes by car) - Vreugdenhil. Staff is friendly and reacts promptly.
There is a limit on the amount of kWh one can use during a day, and on hot days (which basically everyday), it is really not that easy to stay under the daily maximum, but one can get close.
We loved everything! The location was perfect - close enough to Punda and Otrabanda, but not too close. We liked being able to quickly walk to Mambo Beach for shops and restaurants, but also appreciated the quiet of our pool and beach compared to Lions Dive, and noise was hardly ever an issue. We really enjoyed breakfast and happy hours on our balcony. The hosts were very responsive if there were any issues or questions, and they provided a welcome gift and also did a little grocery shopping for us prior to our arrival (this is upon request). We can't wait to visit again!
Nothing, it was perfect!
convenient location to beaches and restaurants, reasonable price, well stocked and plenty of space. good value
The mattress was a little hard. A hot tub would have been nice
it’s a very good location and wonderful management!
The property was well-equipped with everything we needed. The neighbors were helpful. The location was ideal. The view was spectacular!
