    Property response:

    Dear Helene, Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful grounds and our pool. We understand that some guests may prefer a shuttle to the beach, but our saltwater pool and beach area are just a short 5-minute walk from the farthest villa. While we don’t currently offer a shuttle, the proximity makes it an easy stroll. We also appreciate your feedback regarding poolside services and will take it into consideration as we continue to enhance our guest experience. We hope to welcome you again in the future!

    The location and the setup were both great. The furniture in the house was really nice. We also really liked the location with the nearby beach and good restaurants.

    Both the swimming pools at the beach club and at the resort were dirty and not clean. The water was also too warm. The housekeeping didn’t clean the kitchen and the shower gel etc. were not replaced when finished. When arriving at the resort you receive beach towels. The reception told us you could give them to reception anytime and you would get fresh new towels. Unfortunately there were often no towels left and they would give you a cards so you can come back later and redeem the towels with the card. That is of no use if you want to go to the beach.

    Property response:

    Dear Kimberley, Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the location, setup, and the furnishings of your accommodation, as well as the convenience of the nearby beach and restaurants. However, we're sorry to learn about the issues you encountered with the cleanliness of the pools and the challenges with housekeeping and towel availability. These are not the standards we aim to uphold, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Your comments will be shared with our team to ensure these areas are improved. We appreciate your input and hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future. Sunny regards, Papagayo Beach Resort

    The Papagayo Resort villa’s (140m2) are a perfect place for a family of four. The possibility to open all living room doors to include the verranda around the house is marvelous. If you have a seaview location you can enjoy the great view to the Jan Thiel area and the surrounding waters. They clean the villa every day with new towels and bed make up.

    The swimmingpool is nice bit the water was not clean. Throughout the years we saw this part of the resort degrade. For us it was not a problem because the beaches are nearby (150 m walk).

Regarding your concerns about the bathroom and amenities, we apologize for any inconvenience you experienced. Rest assured, we are continuously working to enhance our facilities and guest experience. We will address the issues you've mentioned, such as the dated bathroom and lack of shelves or grab bars, to ensure a more comfortable stay for our guests.

    The staff was friendly. It was in a great location. There was a bus that stopped across the street from the resort that took you to Punda, the picturesque town for a dollar and change. There was a kitch and a supermarket on the grounds to fill it. The Beach Club was also very nice. It was great for families and couples alike.

    There was a very steep hill to walk every time I returned to the resort (bit it was worth walking.) The villa had no a/c in the living area and the fan I had did not circulate. They did give me another fan so I had two which was a plus. The bedrooms did, however, have a/c and it ran ice cold.

    Property response:

    Dear Hasan, Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your positive comments and are pleased to hear that you found our staff friendly and enjoyed our great location. We're glad that the bus service across the street provided convenient transportation to Punda, the picturesque town, at an affordable price. We know how convenient having a kitchen and a supermarket on the grounds is for our guests and we're happy you find it easy. We're also delighted that you enjoyed our Beach Club, which caters to both families and couples. We understand that the open concept layout of our villas, where the kitchen and living room integrate with the terrace, means that air conditioning is only available in the bedrooms. This design is intended to take advantage of Curacao's typically fresh and cooling breeze. However, we apologize if the fan you had did not circulate well.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the cleanliness of your accommodation upon arrival. We strive to maintain high standards of cleanliness, and it is disheartening to hear that we fell short in this regard. We take cleanliness seriously and have shared your feedback with our housekeeping team to ensure that such oversights do not occur in the future. Regarding the replenishment of amenities, we do encourage our guests to notify us during their stay if they require additional supplies.

We greatly value your feedback regarding the resort feeling being more like an Airbnb. At Papagayo Beach Club, we offer a range of accommodations to cater to different preferences and needs. Our villas are designed to provide families or groups of friends with a "home away from home" experience, complete with a fully equipped kitchen. We understand that this setup may give a more relaxed and independent atmosphere akin to Airbnb.

Also at the Resort, we have the Royal Suite and Presidential Suite, which offers luxurious accommodations with a higher level of service. These suites provide a more exclusive and pampering experience for our guests. Your feedback helps us to continually enhance and improve our services and facilities.
