Excellent location as it sits on the Caribbean but has a lagoon in the back of the property that is perfect for snorkeling. Across the lagoon from resort is Mambo beach which has a 2 floored mall with lots of shops and restaurants. All within walking distance!!

Our children loved the pools and beach. Snorkeling was great just at our lagoon. Most of the staff was friendly. They helped with ordering taxis and when we needed an extra blanket. The pool bar was nice to have and the restaurant next door is excellent! We ate there several times. Close to mambo beach and many other restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful property that’s clearly well cared for—everything felt clean, fresh, and inviting from the moment we arrived. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile or a quick assist. The snorkeling was a highlight—crystal-clear water and plenty to see just steps away. Having the pools, hot tub, and ocean all in one place made it easy to relax or switch things up throughout the day without going far. Location is another big win—it’s an easy walk to a great mix of shops and restaurants, so you can explore without needing to plan much. Overall, a seamless, relaxing stay with just the right balance of convenience and beauty.

I love the fact the property is situated on its own private island. The views are amazing. However, the room itself is nicely decorated but outdated. The bathroom was not very clean, there was a lot of hair and dirt in the bath tub, the sink stopper was not in it’s proper place and there is an air purifier that you will be responsible to dump once it fills with water. A few cons but overall My husband and I enjoyed our stay, we made the best of it. The location is great, the vibe is great, easy access to food and/or entertainment. I wouldn’t mind staying here again , of course cleanliness would certainly have to be up to par.

We feel so lucky to have discovered this wonderfully quaint property. Friendly accommodating service such as a shuttle to the supermarket on Saturday evening and weekdays to downtown. The approachable staff is available 24 hours for questions and needs. They arranged for delivery of a rental car for only $45 for 24 hours. We were upgraded to a suite which was spacious and furnished with modern furniture. Its veranda had gorgeous views of the ocean and breathtaking sunsets. The pool area had plenty of seating and the small private beach featured the turquoise blue water Curacao is famous for. Mambo Boulevard is a few minutes walk with a plethora of shops and restaurants and beach clubs. The western beaches are a 25-minute drive. We look forward to returning to the Royal Sea!
