Hotels Near Diamonds Crafts store in Willemstad

Stayed here with family August 2024. Very nice boutique hotel in central Willemstad. The hotel compound is expansive and there are rooms and buildings in various areas near to the reception, some require a slight walk from the front desk. There are two small pools in beautiful courtyards in two different locations on the property. Entry to different areas is secured through coded gates between buildings. Wifi is free and fast. This hotel doesnt have a restaurant but it is basically next to Nieuwestraat which is a nightlife hotspot with restaurants and bar patios. Rooms are very clean and boho style. Hotel staff are friendly and nice. Parking is free if you have a rental car but you will have to park on the public streets in front of the reception or on the street behind reception first come first serve. This hotel is probably about a 10 minute walk to the famous Queen Emma floating bridge. Would definitely come back

I stayed here for 15 nights in Jan/Feb 2022. The price was brilliant – about £34 per night in peak season. The reception is on the first floor (UK floor terminology, or 2nd floor for US!) via lift. My room was on the 3rd floor which apparently was recently refurbished. The accommodation is basic. There is no wardrobe – there are 8 coat hangers, a suitcase stand, a room safe, a drawer, two bedside cubby holes, a double bed, good air conditioning and a flat screen TV (with UK, US and Dutch channels). The floors are tiled. The bathroom had only cold water (no problem for a 30C climate), a bath but no plug, a good shower, a sink (but no plug) and soap and shampoo replaced daily. Towels were also replaced daily. Free breakfast was discontinued (maybe due to Covid) but there was coffee every morning in reception. The local McDonalds provided a very cheap breakfast solution. Wifi in the hotel is brilliant and protected. So, it is a very basic accommodation, but if you are someone who doesn’t want a Jacuzzi and a private beach and is in Curacao to explore and discover this amazing island rather than wallow in luxury, then it is a very cost-effective and satisfactory accommodation – and a 15-night stay went brilliantly. And the location is right in the middle of Punda, Willemstad!

We booked the hotel for 2 main reasons...1. its proximity to the 10/10 celebrations in downtown and the concert of Oscar d'Leon on October 9, 2023 and 2. celebration of my birthday on 10/10/2023. Although not standard practice, the room was decorated for the birthday occasion by the hotel staff. The personnel is very attentive to guests and special requests. Special arrangements were made for the temporary access of friends and family who visited me on both October 9 and 10, 2023. It is a typical small mid-town hotel with the possibility of taking walks and visiting the restaurants in downtown/Punda. there are still signs of Work in Progress. Cascade (rooftop Bar and Pool) is a very unique experience in downtown. Parking arrangements for hotel guests with the adjacent Pietermaai Parking is also a very important amenity for clients with transportation. All by all a very joyfull and interesting experience.........

First class hotel. We have tried several hotels in Curacao over the past few years. The Renaissance Hotel is, in our opinion, the best of all. As soon as you arrive you are greeted in a very friendly manner. Water is offered immediately. The entrance is friendly and nicely designed. Music is played in the lobby on Friday and Saturday. Dancing desired. The rooms are very clean and well maintained. You like to feel at home. The seawater pool has fine sand and it's like swimming in the sea. There is also a smaller freshwater pool. The food can be taken a la carte or as a buffet. The menu is extensive and, most importantly, it tastes really good and delicious. All of this is made possible by the manager Herbert and the so-called navigators Martesano and Jureschka, the service staff Zayra, Zigraina, Sandra, Francesca, and the visible kitchen staff Martina, Isabel, Paola, Lenny and of course Piet. Geraldine Lai takes care of the billing.

Super hotel. Spectacular food and bartenders who make so tasty cocktails, clean rooms. Visit of Tiffany, top concierge, how checked if stays was perfect. Yes it is... .. Didn't know this was a Curio collection hotel, what a experience!!!!

The property itself is nice but there are a few problems but that's not what I want to leave this review for. This review& the low star rating is for an experience that I had with one of the workers,her name begins with K. SHE WORKS PREDOMINANTLY WITH THE PILOTS AND Attendants. She is fair complexioned,on the chubby side& wears glasses. The young lady was helping me when one of the pilots walked up she told me that I will be with you in a second and began to assist him & I said well how can you help him when you're not finished helping me. She responded that she needed to assist him. I posed the question again. This young lady looked me square in my face & instead of explaining to me her sole responsibility, with an attitude of annoyance told me that this white pilot is ”her priority” & continued assisting him. I was offended. to make a long story short.I told her about herself , her lack of professionalism and how EVERY GUEST IS A PRIORITY. I also spoke to the manager(Kim who was absolutely kind, friendly, welcoming, attentive and professional) who the day we were leaving seemed to be chummy ,chummy w/the young lady so I don't think any type of action was taken but I could be wrong. Anyhoo, whoever is reading this you need to RETRAIN some of the people that work there. Also, there needs to be training for all of the housekeepers that clean the rooms. There needs to be a uniform way of doing things. I'm of the persuasion that if I am spending my money I expect a certain level of service which was lacking. Papayago, please take a page out of the book of the Marriott in Grand Cayman. Just came back & service/ALL STAFF was ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars!

I rarely comment on hotels. I really have to say this time. First of all, we arrived at the hotel at 2:30 in the afternoon. We have n’t checked in yet. We waited until 4 o'clock! The efficiency is too slow. The second is that the alarm bell sounded at 5 o'clock in the morning on the second day of the check-in. At that time, I was sleeping soundly, and was suddenly awakened by fright. Then it sounded again at more than 6 o'clock, and then again at noon. , People are really going crazy! Then there was no explanation! Hey, this stay is terrible

The second stay at the hotel was good overall but the room was not satisfied with the cleaning. Many guests have not been cleaned and cleaned for 2 days. Breakfast is still worthy of recognition. The front desk service is also very good. The sea view and courtyard view are beautiful
