The property itself is beautiful with well-kept grounds, a great saltwater pool, and stunning ocean views. Parking was free and convenient, and the nearby plaza and grocery store were helpful. Unfortunately, the rooms were poorly lit, bathrooms showed discoloration and weren’t properly cleaned, and service was inconsistent at best. I often felt like I had to plead for solutions and was even debated with over issues that should have been resolved quickly. While a few staff members (Mark, Nedra, and Minako) were wonderful, overall hospitality felt uneven, and as a Black American traveler, I noticed others received better treatment. The final disappointment was having to drag my own bags down nearly five flights of stairs at check-out because no bellman was available. Beautiful views, but not an experience I’d return to or recommend.

My stay at this hotel was great overall. The environment and landscaping was nothing but scenic. Great photo opportunities. The staff were super friendly and accommodating even with the slight language barrier. However, almost everyone understood me fairly easily. The food was also great with an extensive breakfast. My one complaint would be the cleanliness of the sofa could have been better. It was actually pretty, visibly dirty in our room. The room also had a somewhat “bland”, dull smell. Like there was no smell at all, no fresh, inviting smell. I can’t explain it more than that. We requested some sort of air freshener which was handled by housekeeping shortly after. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my stay at the hotel and will return!!

Very nice place but very poor lighting in rooms. Room was rundown and floor wasn’t swept but otherwise clean. Volume on tv was on one setting which was very high and not able to lower it. If you need towels, ice, or anything else you have to get it from front desk. Staff was excellent and tried their best to accommodate our group ! I would stay again but make sure the room was cleaner.

The Best Resort in Curacao We've been coming to the Papagayo Beach Hotel for years. (This year was our fourth visit!) It's an exquisite operation with crisp, modern rooms that are beautifully designed. The staff is consistently friendly and professional. Best of all, it's located right on Jan Thiel Beach. Activities, pools and restaurants are just walking distance along the shore. Papagayo Beach Hotel is outstanding and we plan to visit again in 2023. Highly recommend!

It was beautiful when we arrived the hotel lobby It is gorgeous! I wish they used the lobby for a piano bar or some sort of entertainment. It has big open marble floors for dancing. The Christmas decorations were beautiful too. Rougenlea greeted us and checked us in. She was very prompt and even walked us to our room to make sure everything was in perfect order. Thank you Suky, Mardely, the other lady pictured and the tall guy, I forgot his name. They all including housekeeping were outstanding. We will be back.

Says in description that there is airport shuttle service, there is none. I had to complain about noisy neighbours 4 times and nothing changed. We were supposed to check in at 3pm but our room apparently wasn't ready although we were waiting in the lobby for a few hours already. I was expecting a peaceful quiet stay here and I personally didnt get that. Drunk neighbours would yell and bang on doors up until 3 am. Very upset with my stay here.

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, she basically 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. I also spoke to the manager 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. 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 was ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars!

Weigh the Pluses and Minuses

This is a slick, modern newer resort hotel with open concept rooms and patios and balconies (lanais). The materials and fixtures are upscale. The layout is well designed. The restaurants and bars are good and convenient. The staff are infectiously pleasant. The adjacent Jan Thiel beach, with restaurants and snorkeling cove and beach tennis were enjoyable. Two features stand out. The on-site grocery store Van Der Tweel with on-site bakery, beer and wine, ready-made salads and yogurt and other snacks was very convenient. The on-site dive shop FunDiving was also a plus. I was ready to rate Papagayo as 4.5 stars. But the shower is all marble. No saftey handles, and wide enough that most people would not be able to put a hand on either opposing wall. Just a little soapy water under foot and you'll think you're on wet ice wearing leather soled shoes. Anyone with mobility concerns or balance issues should be warned. Then there was the sewer-geyser. Yep, a four inch diameter pipe at the edge of my patio, just ten feet from the sliding door to the room which spewed raw sewage including toilet paper into a cascading fetid water fall. Upon seeing this for the first time I walked to the front desk to report it. The staff appeared stunned in disbelief. They said they would send maintenance staff to my room to investigate. Nobody showed. This was Thursday evening at sunset (7:10 PM). On Friday evening at about the same time, the sewer-geyser erupted again. Again, nobody sho
