Mangrove Beach Corendon Curacao All-Inclusive Resort, Curio by Hilton
Curacao Marriott Beach Resort
We loved the views and the room. I especially liked the bathroom/closet set up- made it very convenient to have the closet in the bathroom. Only negative was we were located at the end of the hotel next to a public park, I believe. There was often activity and loud thumping music at night.

Renaissance Wind Creek Curacao Resort
We had a fantastic stay. The property is in close proximity to all the action in Willemstad. The staff was beyond friendly and helpful. The courtyard at Rif Fort is a stone's throw away, as is the Queen Emma bridge connecting Otrobanda and Punda. Highly recommend.
