Week in Marriott

Curacao Marriott Beach Resort & Emerald Casino

Hotel | "Marriott"

Quote:

My daughter, myself and my daughter's godmother stayed at the Marriott from the 5th to the 12th of August. It was everything I expected plus more. I felt the hotel was the nicest on the island. We rented a car and explored the island and were not disappointed one bit with our selection of our hotel. The Kura Hulanda on the western point of the island was very nice but at $750 a night was way out of our price range. The staff at the Marriott were very friendly and helpful. In fact one night we had ordered dinner from room service and because the kitchen was busy they served it to us for free because we had to wait.

My daughter, myself and my daughter's godmother stayed at the Marriott from the 5th to the 12th of August. It was everything I expected plus more. I felt the hotel was the nicest on the island. We rented a car and explored the island and were not disappointed one bit with our selection of our hotel. The Kura Hulanda on the western point of the island was very nice but at $750 a night was way out of our price range. The staff at the Marriott were very friendly and helpful. In fact one night we had ordered dinner from room service and because the kitchen was busy they served it to us for free because we had to wait.

I felt that the various restaurants had a lot to offer in terms of varied meals. The rooms were very spacious and looked very updated to me rather than as others have said that they were outdated. The balcony furniture was fine not rusty like others have said. Ruggerio, one of the front desk clerks couldn't have been nicer and was always eager to help us find our way. There is not alot to do at night I have to be honest but if you want a very relaxing vacation this is it. The beach is somewhat rocky but that will be improved upon in September. There is a swim up bar in the pool and also a bar on the beach on the west side of the hotel. We had a resort view on the west side and we were extremely pleased.. We visited all of the sites to see in Curacao and would suggest getting a car to do the same. The Ostrich farm, Hato Caves, the sea aquarium, and the National park are awesome.

We rented a small car from Alamo and the price was right - $219 for the week and we rented right at the airport. We found a nice souvenir shop in Jan Thiel that we highly recommend. A Rennaisance hotel is going to be built very soon right down where the Cruise ships dock and it looks like there is construction trying to improve the area. The people of Curacao are awesome - one of the friendliest islands I have been to. We went shopping and took advantage of the low cost of Lacoste shirts and name brand pocketbooks. There are all sorts of water sports to take advantage of right at the Marriott and priced very reasonably. We ate at The Governer and Kura Hulanda right in Ostroband and both were very nice. We also went to Hooks Huts which is a must. See Marion she is super! The food on the island is awesome! My prediction is in another 10 years Curacao is going to be the next Aruba. I can't wait to plan my next vacation back in Curacao! Read Less

National Park

Attraction

Quote:

We rented a car and went to Westpunt to the National Park. It was awesome. The sights were incredible. There were many natural cut outs that the water would hit and it was magnificent. There is a natural bridge and an underwater cave. Definitely take a tour of this park - it was worth the trip. There are many lizards running free and it is very dry. Amazing to see wild goats roaming all over.

Curacao Ostrich Farm (The)

Attraction | "Ostrich Farm"

Quote:

We went to the Ostrich farm - what a treat! You get to hear all about ostriches and see the way they behave in both captivity and in the wild. You get to feed an ostrich if you want to and hold an ostrich egg as well as a 2 day old baby ostrich. It was quite an experience.

Marriott's Renaissance Curacao Casino

Attraction | "Marriott Casino"

Quote:

I wasn't impressed with the casino in the Marriott. It was small and smoky. There was a variety of slot machines ranging from 1 cent to $5. Only spent one night in there and no payout. Didn't seem that anyone was winning.
