We really enjoyed our stay at Royal Sea Aquarium. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. We particularly appreciated the fact that the resort is small and quiet, it’s easy to get around. We had a wonderfull view on the ocean. The room was super clean. The food at the restaurant was really good too.

We had a wonderful experience at The Royal Sea Aquarium. We couldn't make it to Curacao on the dates we were booked at the Sea Aquarium because our plane needed some maintenance and we missed our connection. The resort changed the dates for our stay( it was not refundable) and we were able to fly to Curaçao few weeks later and enjoy our vacation. We are forever grateful to the resort for helping us out and changing our reservation. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The resort is clean, well maintained. Rooms were very spacious, gorgeous, comfortable beds ,clean crisp linens and towels. Sunset view from resort is amazing. We had the one bedroom with ocean view it was lovely. Highly recommend if you are looking for a relaxing laid back stay with private beach, which by the way is absolutely stunning. Clean,quiet, gorgeous close to everything. We will be back.
