Villa With Pool and Sea View

The owner had staff/family welcomed us to the villa. They showed us around the house. They gave us instruction on how to use the wifi, pool, hot tub, and security gates. It was nice to have someone present for our arrival.

A beautiful location, breathtaking view. The house was clean and spacious, with enough room for 3 couples. Nice pool, enough to enjoy of water and sun. House is 3 minutes away (with Car) from Cas Abou Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches of Curacao. Everything worked and all you needed is provided. The location is safe (gated community), the house is located on top of a mountain, which helps bring breeze in the Caribbean weather. All by all a great choice. Beats every Hotel if you are looking for a the full Curacao experience

Nothing of Notice

Communication with the host was excellent and we found it easily. The villa was spacious and we loved the pool. We didn't use the hot tub, but somebody serviced it while we were there. Everything was very clean and in good working order. We liked the parking space in the garden. The location made it easy to reach the beaches in the Westpunt area, which are the best ones on the island.

The villa is quite far from the nearest beach, CAS Abao, and a large bush blocked the view of the sea from the pool area. Bed linens and towels were very basic and the five provided beach towels mismatched. It would be an easy upgrade to provide hotel quality cotton bedsheets and towels that are plush and large. Since there is enough space for six people, six matching beach towels would be nice as well. There is a washing machine, which we didn't use, and lines to hang up wet bathing suits and towels outside, but pegs are necessary because the area is quite windy, and would also be a nice addition. I had brought my own. Kitchen supplies are limited and were adequate for breakfast. A gas grill is available on the patio and could be used to cook a meal; restaurants and supermarkets are a fair distance away, and having a better appointed kitchen would make it easier to eat on site. There was plenty of water to shower but no warm water in the guest bathroom. Since it was quite hot, it wasn't a big deal for our son, but we should have asked if there was a hot water heater that we didn't see.

The house was neat and clean. It takes about 7 minutes of drive to one of the most beautiful beaches, Cas Abao. If you choose this villa, car rental is a must. Our host Ramon was very kind, and he assisted us with car rental. We didn't need to worry about airport transfer He was punctual, helpful, and outgoing. Thanks a lot, Ramon!

Be prepared for mosquitoes and small flies that bite. If you have allergic reactions to the bites, make sure to bring sprays and allergy medicine with you. Mattresses in rooms are not too bad, but it would be great if the owner of the house put new ones.
