Sandals Royal Curacao

My husband and I just got home from a week at Curacao. We had the best time. Let me start with some of the highlights. Upon arriving to the resort which was beautiful we met in the Sandals Club and our check in maybe took 10 mins and we were off to our room. We had a swim up room near the food trucks. The room was beautiful and in a great location. The swim up pool was nice but I probably would never get that again because we never used it. We did like the soaking tub on the porch. We spent most of our time at the large infinity pool. My husband would get up at 6:30 to get us a chair and people would be sleeping in the large cushion ones and overheard them say they stayed all night or got up at 5:30 to snag it. The chairs behind those honestly are just as good and we never had an issue. The Playmakers were great! Pencil was hilarious. There were so many I didn’t get everyone’s name but they were all great. I participated the most at this resort than the others. I loved how they interacted with all the guests. The French interns at the large pool were so friendly and made good drinks. The pool bar was cool. We met a bartender Jawara our first night and he made us the best shots. The shows were at 9pm every night by the pool bar and they were really good. The Christmas show was amazing but my favorite was silent disco after the show. We had Bluetooth headphones playing music and we were all singing and dancing. It was probably our favorite thing. The DJ played great music. There was a martini night in the courtyard one night. Great drinks and the ladies were passing our sweets. One was little chocolate candies. I went back a day later to ask did they have anymore and she had some in the back her name was Souverline. She made my day because they were delicious! We ate Sushi twice it was so good. Our waiter was Nigel and he was so nice and professional. Joash at Butch’s was one of our favorites too. He was great! The food was great there too. We are St Lucia fans! We’ve been 3 times but I have to say it’s hard to beat Curacoa. It’s a beautiful resort. I’m not a loud partier and it’s laid back and pretty quiet and chill. We didn’t run into but maybe one obnoxious drunk. Overall we had a wonderful time and we would definitely come back.

INCREDIBLE, high-end Sandals location. We have stayed at 3 other Sandals properties and by far this is our favorite. The grounds are stunning, the main 2-level infinity pool is STUNNING, and the food is excellent. The beach is small but still lovely. We had a small room hiccup that was corrected with some Sandals points, easy-peasy. The island itself is very easy to navigate and it's a great island to safely explore. Rent a car for a day and see what life is like!

The location of the resort is beautiful, and the food was amazing. The employees were friendly and helpful as well. We stayed in the Kurason Island Poolside Butler Bungalow with Patio Tranquility Soaking Tub. The room was very nice and comfortable but not worth the price. The heart shape pool/island was taken over by Iguana's and the pool was not very well kept (Iguana poop floating around, foliage on the island was eaten by the Iguanas). Sandals should consider controlling the Iguana population. The resort is only a few years old, and the maintenance could be better. The walls/bottom of all the pools were moldy/dirty. The main pool silicone is ready to burst at the seams (not sure how safe that is...). I believe the manager should observe the resort as if they were a guest. It's obvious why these newer resorts are under construction frequently. We also noticed that there was no one cleaning up empty cups around the pool. Overall, our experience was nice, but don't splurge for the Kurason Island room.

Beautiful resort that is very well maintained by a very pleasant staff. Room was always clean when we returned with fresh towels and mini bar stocked. Restaurant service was good with the exception being trying to get hot tea at breakfast, always a long delay. Pools were perfect temperature with plenty of room to relax. Cabana near the quiet pool was nice with good food and drink service. Used the pickleball courts which include a nice hike to reach the courts. Equipment was checked out at Spa, which we found out after our first hike to the courts. A pub would be a nice addition to the resort, and we were surprised the food trucks were not near the beach. Would definitely return to Sandals Royal Curacao

My husband and I recently visited Sandals Royal Curacao where we had a great time for the most part. Curacao was one of the most beautiful Islands we have been to and the resort was modern and clean. Before my review below, I need to mention an incident that happened on our last night that I think is important for people who are considering traveling to this property and / or have already booked a stay that is upcoming. There was an Entertainment Staff member named BREEZY who made our last night incredibly UNCOMFORTABLE and asked us for several drinks and even cash straight up. I reported this to management and advised them I would be writing a review specifically mentioning this incident as it was very concerning that he was not only asking us for this but we spoke to several other couples who mentioned that they had been asked the same thing. I know some people may be thinking “what is $20/$30 dollars?” - which is the amount he mentioned during the ask - as someone from NYC I can assure you that not even a homeless person on the street would have the audacity to ask for $20 and they are homeless, not employees at a 5 star resort, but anyways, I digress. The issue I have and what I stressed to management is that he knew my Husband was drinking and in a vulnerable state when he approached him for the money. This feels really sleazy and shady for a number of reasons but I will list the main ones below. 1. BREEZY was seeing my husband drinking and waited until after they took ~3 shots together to ask him for money - The drink requests started at the show on the beach and continued up to the lobby bar when he saw us again - he continuously asked us to get him drinks from the bar while he was working and let me say this was already inappropriate and making us uncomfortable but my husband is a nice guy and did it 2. BREEZY had asked multiple men who were drunk at the bar for money and was very comfortable in doing what he was doing which tells me that this was not the first time and would not be the last time. Anyone who waits around the bar to try and take advantage of someone who is drinking is a PREDATOR. No other way to put it and this guy is a liability. Luckily I was not drinking and was able to get my husband away from him shortly after he told me that BREEZY asked him for cash. This left a bad taste in our mouth for the property which we had thoroughly enjoyed and been considering returning to up until this interaction. If this happens to anyone else, please say something! I feel frustrated that someone else did not report him before (or maybe they did and management did nothing) and that we had to have this unfortunate run in with sleazy BREEZY. To drive my issue home, as a female who works hard and wants to be able to relax and let loose on vacation, this was the first time I felt truly grossed out and unsafe at a Sandals property. The behavior is the problem and the feeling of thinking someone was trying to take advantage of a cl

This is the first review I am writing, but I was so impressed by Sandals Curaçao, it feels necessary. Overall the visit was wonderful! Best part was food and entertainment team! The omelet station at Pietra was the perfect way to start the day! Really wish I would have noted the omelet chef’s name but her omelet skills were top notch! Was so sad when she told us she had the last day of our trip off. She spoiled us lol being there M-F for us! The food trucks were delicious and Butch’s is a must! Definitely easily competed with top NY steakhouses. I cannot say enough though about the entertainment team! Elvis, Pencil, Leon and Dylan kept a smile on our faces all week and made us feel like family. Plus enjoyed that the pool games were played for just the right amount of time … enough to keep you entertained, but not to become annoying or feel intrusive. The Loyalty Club team also was top notch. Christopher and Biorn were quick, knowledgeable and beyond gracious. Only complaint would be the front desk. For some reason the front desk team members were not as helpful or attentive. At one point there were 4 front desk team members helping the same person instead of dividing and conquering the line that was building, but thank goodness you really don’t have to deal with the front desk team much. Since we wanted to extend our trip we had to go to the front desk a few additional times which wasn’t the best at first, but Rasheed came out from the back and managed as you would hope a competent manager would so kudos and thank you Rasheed! But with that said, if you are considering a visit, I would definitely say do yourself a favor and go!
