We had a wonderful time staying here, the property was nice and spacious and clean. It has access via a trail to walk down to the salt flats and see the flamingos. The hostess was wonderful and very nice making us a delicious breakfast every morning, as well as giving us great ideas and tips on where to go.

This property is the perfect place to unwind and be at one with nature in the serene surroundings. What makes it extra special is the hospitality that the host, Loeke provides. The breakfasts are made to order, at your leisure, and the conversation, even better. I can’t wait to visit again.

Our family of four (two adults and two kids 9 &5) stayed for a week at Plantation Jan Thiel. It was a excellent home base to explore the island from. Loeki is a fantastic host who made us feel at home. She provided loads of great tips for beaches to visit, activities for the kids and restaurants to try. The property is beautiful with an easy walking trail down to see the flamingos at the salt flats, a great pool with comfortable lounge chairs and large terraces to enjoy the view and a cocktail after a long day in the sun. I highly recommend staying here!

We truly enjoyed our stay at this lush, gorgeous property! Lukay (sp?) ensured every detail was perfect. She went above and beyond to make certain we enjoyed our stay. Welcome drink, evening herb water, delicious breakfast, arranging a rental vehicle, etc. The property owner is blessed to have such a sweet, friendly, accommodating employee! Of 3 places we stayed on our visit to Curacao, this was our favorite thanks to Lukay! We highly recommend! 💕

This place was AMAZING. We cannot say enough about how wonderful it is, the pups are, the property is, the meals are, and the hospitality. WOW. Staying here made our vacation. The location is ideal, too - you are close to many things and have great walking trails in the park just behind. The pool was refreshing. We cannot wait to come back.

We absolutely loved this property! It is so beautiful and peaceful. The hostess Loeki was so welcoming and made us felt right at home. She made the most amazing breakfast with fresh ingredients from the property. She always had cold water infused with different fruits or mint which was appreciated after a hot day. I would highly recommend this property when visiting Curaçao!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this accommodation! From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed. The place is beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect – peaceful yet conveniently close to attractions and amenities. The host was incredibly friendly and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing, making it the perfect getaway. We can’t think of a single thing to improve. It was truly a flawless experience. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic stay. We will definitely be back!

We only stayed here one night due to a booking mixup in our other location. We were extremely amazed at what a lovely host Loeki was and beautiful the setting is. If you are looking for a quiet retreat for your vacation, this is the place. Loeki did everything to make your stay as pleasant as possible. My only comment would be that if you’re using navigation do not just enter Plantation Jan Thiel , it only takes you halfway down the road. Enter Landhuis Jan Thiel, into your navigation. The location is at the very end of the road.

Our stay at Plantation Jan Thiel Lodge was absolutely unforgettable! Loike is the greatest host we could have asked for. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. She provided excellent recommendations on local restaurants, guided us to some stunning local trails, and even pointed out the best snorkeling spots. Although we initially booked just one night due to a conference at the Marriott, we instantly wished we had planned our entire five-day stay here. The Lodge may not be right on the ocean, but its unique charm and warm atmosphere more than make up for it. There’s a special spirit to this place that makes you want to return again and again. If I could give Plantation Jan Thiel Lodge 6 stars, I absolutely would! Highly recommended to anyone visiting the island.

Fantastic and can’t wait to go back. The hosts are so friendly and helpful. The entire property is unique and a little paradise on paradise. We liked watching the sunset from the main house patio area. We stayed in the little cottage we’re so comfortable and loved the private pool and outdoor shower. We liked talking with the other guests from all over the world over breakfast and sharing island experiences. It is a very peaceful and quiet place with house animals as an extra bonus.
