We had the absolute best time! The location is like none other! It is absolutely beautiful and within walking distance to so many restaurants. It is beautiful and very quiet. The host was kind and very helpful before and during our stay. We will definitely stay here again if we have the opportunity to come back to this beautiful country!

A great place to stay quiet with an amazing view but close to mambo beach. Jumping into the sea and snorkelling with the fish everyday was just outstanding.

Thank you, Cathy. We’re so glad you enjoyed the peace, the views, and the easy access to the lagoon. Snorkelling right from the deck really is something special. It was a pleasure hosting you and we hope to welcome you back again.

This location was absolutely incredible. Direct access to the most beautiful lagoon where swimming and snorkeling was spectacular. The unit had snorkeling equipment to use. Breakfast out on the deck in the morning was heavenly.

Thank you so much! We’re thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the lagoon — it really is a special place for swimming and snorkeling, and we’re glad the equipment came in handy. Breakfast on the deck is one of our favorite moments of the day too, so it’s wonderful to know it was heavenly for you as well. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re always welcome back for more lagoon time and relaxation.

Awesome rental...location cannot be beat. Amazing snorkeling right off of your deck. Restaurants, shops, bars within a 2 minute walk yet the condo is quiet. Jo the property manager is the best to work with...excellent communication! Olas and Capo restaurant is a 1 minute walk and must be visited. Best staff...excellent food and drinks and reasonably priced. Would not hesitate to stay here again!

Incredible location for a great get away

The property and location was amazing. The pictures left nothing to the imagination and the view / water was as wonderful as displayed. The check in process was very easy and the communication with both Jo and her property manager was easy. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone who is interested in visiting Curacao!

Paradise!

The property was lovely and so were the hosts! Watching the fish in the lagoon in the evening was probably my favorite. Walking distance to a secluded beach or the Mambo beach area with places to grab a bite. We would stay there again if we go back to Curaçao.

Amazing property!

Everything was just as described and we very much enjoyed our stay. Great location with easy walk to Mambo Beach. We loved snorkeling right from our deck. It was so enjoyable that it made it difficult to leave on certain days and explore other parts of the island. We would definitely come back when we return to Curaçao.

Blue Lagoon is RIGHT!

Great location - on a very quiet lagoon and you can jump in the water right off the deck. Lots of fishes in the water to see. Very close to Lions Dive Resort restaurants and Mambo beach - literally 2 minutes walk away. Fantastic spot - would recommend without any reservations!

Great location

The location is good for access to Mambo Beach. We enjoyed snorkeling the lagoon off the deck and saw many fish and an octopus. Unit is very warm and could benefit from a steel gate door that locks to promote more airflow.

We experienced a heatwave during Shawn's stay which caused heat everywhere on the island unfortunately. The front door can be opened and locked into place to have airflow at any moment one pleases.

The property has water access off the dock. That was very nice. Curacao is very hot but we learned how to close the curtains during the hottest part of the day. Would have been nice to lower the awning.

Great location

We loved being right on the lagoon. We spent free time watching the dolphins from the sea aquarium across the lagoon. We also enjoyed regular visits from iguanas, blue tail whips, and Trupials. Very convenient (2 minute walk) to the restaurants and shops of Mambo Boulevard. Short drive (12 minutes) to downtown Willemstad and all the interesting sites there.

Great place for working visits

Everything perfect at Blue Lagoon also for a work related stay. Wifi, gym nearby, views while working on the terrace, dive into the sea straight from your own deck, fully equiped kitchen, nice new bed, work-related visits all within 10 minutes by car. Boulevard Supermarket, gas station, ATM all on the way to Willemstad. Nice and quiet, while bar & restaurant Lions dive at a 5 minutes walk.

Amazing

We enjoyed our stay here very much. Basically your own private lagoon right off the deck. Right beside Mambo beach, walking distance to shops and restaurants. Just a few minutes drive to downtown Willemstad. Property manager was very helpful at check in. Also this is right beside the sea aquarium - swimming with the dolphins is a must-do!

Perfect Location

We just returned from an 8 day stay, & it was amazing. The location is perfect. Close to Mambo Beach if you want action & the secluded lagoon if you want relaxation. We rented a car & it was a great location for a starting point to visit other parts of the island as well. Everything inside was clean & well maintained. The pictures don’t do it justice! We are already talking about coming back!

Nice location, great place to stay

Blue Lagoon exceeded our expectations. The large doors opening to the private dock on the lagoon was amazing. Being able to snorkel and dive off your own dock was amazing. Sitting out on the dock at night was breathtaking. The supermarket was minutes away if you like to cook your own meal. The beach, bars and food (beach bars) are walking distance away. Jo and José both are friendly and helpful.

Being double booked at another location, I was so pleased to get the opportunity to stay at this amazing condo in such a short notice. The deck over the water is fabulous with direct access to the lagoon. All amenities in walking distance, lots to do in a safe surrounding at the Seaquarium Beach!

Snorkel Delight

Check in was easy w/Jo meeting us at the gate and giving us a tour of the unit. She made sure we understood how everything operated and responded quickly when we had a problem. Breeze was adequate to keep us comfortable w/o AC except in bedroom at night. We snorkeled or swam every day from the dock and it was easy to reach many other snorkel locations as well. Property is perhaps even better than advertised.

Wonderful week stay at this waterfront property. It had everything we needed for our first trip to Curaçao. It was well equipped for cooking in. Loved being able to sit outside with our coffee and watch the dolphins everyday as well as being able to hop off the sundeck into the lagoon to cool off. Very close to Mambo beach and several restaurants that we could walk to as well as the Sea Aquarium. Olas Y Copas and The Green Room were our favorites. Communication with our host was great and she was able to help us out for recommendations when our baggage was delayed. We are looking forward to coming back here next year as we’ve found our new favorite winter retreat.

Nice quiet place to stay.

Quiet place to stay but if you want more of a commercialized atmosphere it is just a short walk. We loved Hemingways restaurant, their wraps are great. The burger I would skip. Great food! We also ate at the sushi restaurant very good! Mexican restaurant good too! All the restaurants we ate at were nice portions and never a disappointment. The host was very friendly and super easy to communicate with. Quick to reply on any of my questions. No fishing off the deck. Great location if you like to snorkel In calm waters. Dolphins and sharks across the cove at the sea aquarium.
