Hotels near Kueba di Shingot, Curacao

First of all they put us in a less expensive room than the one we paid and booked. So in the next day after we complained we had to change the room. Luckily the new room was next door to my friends but the safe box was not working and took another 24 hours to fix it. They changed the entire safe. The service is horrible. Even though my reservation say the breakfast is from 7 to 11 front desk said I do not have the breakfast included. My friend checked out and forgot her bikini drying outside. We contacted the front office on the same day since the room was already cleaned. The surprise is that the cleaning lady did not returned the bikini so probably kept for her. Further I requested for 2 face towel since the cleaning lady did not left us with clean ones. It took almost 24 hours and I only got it after going directly to the front desk complaining after they hang up the phone on me. That was the 5th time I was calling for the towels. I am trying to get on hold of the manager but apparently there is no manager in this hotel. If you want a stressful vacation paying for a 5 star hotel, choose this hotel. If that is not your plan, find another place.

My BFF and I have been to Curaçao 4 times now. The last three times we rent an apartment at Blue Bay. It’s gated, safe, beautiful, and all the staff we’ve ever come into contact with are friendly and helpful. This past vacation- just last week- my flight was cancelled and in order to get home I had to extend my stay by 2 nights. I quickly googled for hotels in Curaçao and almost at the top of the listings was Bayside Boutique Hotel. I booked immediately even though I’d never been there but as it was on the same property with which I was already familiar I was very confident I’d be ok. I was now going to be staying alone- and even though I find Curaçao super safe (I’ve lived on islands with serious crime rates) you know, single woman, alone. I wanted to not worry. And did I not worry. Staff was helpful and accommodating. From helping reprogram my TV (because I’m a spaz and of course hit countless wrong buttons) to arranging for taxis - to yet another Covid test as well as the airport. (and on that note, they arranged for the driver to not only wait while I got my test but he let me run into the grocery store and did not charge me extra. Taxis are not cheap but the driver was great and I tipped him accordingly for his kindness)The room was spotless, beautifully appointed, lovely amenities, comfortable bed. The property is gorgeous and really, I can’t say enough good things about this place. The only thing I will give fair warning in is - old building=lots of stairs. So when your luggage is like mine and is twice my weight just be prepared!!! Or ask for help. Which they will!!! I absolutely loved it here and will look into booking this for our next visit.
