Papagayo Beach Resort

We had a very nice and great holiday. recommended to this resort, very good and clean house . very friendly helpful people with many tips unbelievable for the beautiful island to see . The Playa’s to see are beautiful, small Curacao for 1 day is beautiful

I don't recommend the resort - but do recommend the hotel. The ocean view room advertised on line is not the view you will get when renting an ocean view villa. We had a view of a roof. There are no screens in the living room in the villa, so basically, it's like renting two bedrooms and a huge porch. The sliding doors (which have slats in them that let the mosquitoes in) didn't even close properly, so we had to have someone come to close them for us. There were mosquitoes in the living area and bedrooms. There are mosquito nets for the beds, but the mosquitoes were in the living room as well. The bedrooms are air conditioned, but the bathrooms are not - so getting ready to go out is unpleasant. Hector in reception was super helpful and we were able to move to the hotel, but at a cost. They would not refund the difference in price, and the hotel was less expensive. They did cover the cost of a breakfast, but overall we lost about $200. The hotel was nice - very helpful staff. But inexplicably, there was a pile of dirty linens and garbage in the corner outside our room for the time we were there. There also is no beach right at the hotel - you have to walk down to the Jan Theil beach, which is just a few minutes walking. The hotel has chairs along a salt water pool - which is very pretty, but still not the beach.

Super friendly staff, especially Cindy from reception. But also Gatekeepers, room service and everybody working in the resort always have a smile… Villas are nice and spacious, but would welcome a (small) makeover. Beach is within walking distance and offers everything you need for a nice beach day.
