Hotel berhampiran Dushi Sign, Willemstad

My stay at Avila Beach was one of the very best vacations I had in a long time. My first visit to Avila Beach was 42 years ago on my honeymoon, and since my husband's passing 5 years ago I wanted to return. Needless to say, things have changed dramatically, but for the better. The food, the staff, the spa and the accommodations were all top notch. God willing, I'd like to make this a yearly trip. I'd also like to extend a special thank you to Vaynis at Cloud Nine Spa, who had hands that were kissed by the angels; Nathania, who was doing double duty at both The Pen and Blues Restaurants and was very helpful in making sure I had everything I needed, and, lastly the two young ladies at the front desk, and forgive me, but I didn't get the name of one, and the other I wrote down, but can't find the paper, but it started with a ”Jean”. Sorry about that, but they were extremely patient and helpful with me when I checked in. Bottom line, this was money well spent and God bless the staff of Avila Beach Hotel for making my trip memorable.

It was fine,food was exceptional,the pool was clean and warm,drinks was pretty basic however we still enjoyed,the resort is very quiet so was a plus for us seeing that we just wanted a peaceful vacation. Tiffany at the front desk was accommodating and pleasant to us she's a Gem,Teddy at the Mangrove pool was the best bartender,over all I'll give it a 8/10.

There were 4 of us that traveled to the Acoya Resort in Curacao in April 2024 using Air Canada Vacations. Our pregnant daughter-in-law was one of the 4. We booked a 2 bedroom apartment and a rental car at Acoya. The flight out of Toronto was 2 hours late in leaving which impacted our vacation due to late time of arrival. For 2 months prior to the trip, I was speaking with the car rental company to select the vehicle. Be careful with this as the most common rental car is very small and only suitable for 2 people. When we arrived, the airport bus transfer company made us wait in the sun for no good reason while they loaded people going to other resorts. This is usually a first come first seated service. The bus was comfortable with good air conditioning and charging ports on the seat. Check in was quick and easy. The girls at the front desk were helpful and professional. We got to our room which was a bit dated. The kitchen, dining room and living area were all good sizes. Our bedroom was good size but the room for our son and his wife was miniature. So small that they could not open the drawers in their wardrobe because it was right up to the foot of the bed. They could not unpack and had to live out of their suitcase for the week. The biggest problem we had was with the car rental company. After months of exchanging messages and pictures, agreeing on the car and the rates, there was no car available for us when we got there. He said he forgot about us and sent the car out. WHaaattttt!!! After all that, no car. He tried to put the 4 of us and all our gear into a tiny car smaller than a smart car. We argued for over an hour when he finally agreed to put us into an SUV. OMG. This vehicle was filthy, had rotting food in it, garbage inside, half inch of dust and grime, no gas and so dirty outside that you could not see out. We had to clean it ourselves and throw out garbage. Running on fumes, we went to Mambo beach for dinner. This was a pleasant experience. It was already dark so we could not see the beach. We ate at one of the restaurants, tried local dishes and loved them. Food and service were great. The next morning, we crossed our fingers, loaded up our beach gear and headed out. First stop, fill up the gas tank from empty. 10 Minutes into the drive someone driving next to us flagged us over to let us know that the front driver’s side tire was flat. We pulled over in a gas station, by now it was over 30 degrees C. We had on beach wear and were not prepared for what was to come. Flat tire and a filthy car, I called the company. Their response was swift. They sent a repair company to change the tire. Well, well, well. The small spare tire turned out to be rotten when they put it on. It could not be inflated. So now no front tire and no spare. Wait…. It gets worse. So the owner of the rental company comes to meet us. Meanwhile we cannot go into the vehicle, so we are waiting outside in the blazing sun and heat getting burnt. They take the

Great place to disconnect from the day to day and feel a vacation atmosphere.

The property itself is nice but there are a few problems but that's not what I want to leave this review for. This review& the low star rating is for an experience that I had with one of the workers,her name begins with K. SHE WORKS PREDOMINANTLY WITH THE PILOTS AND Attendants. She is fair complexioned,on the chubby side& wears glasses. The young lady was helping me when one of the pilots walked up she told me that I will be with you in a second and began to assist him & I said well how can you help him when you're not finished helping me. She responded that she needed to assist him. I posed the question again. This young lady looked me square in my face & instead of explaining to me her sole responsibility, with an attitude of annoyance told me that this white pilot is ”her priority” & continued assisting him. I was offended. to make a long story short.I told her about herself , her lack of professionalism and how EVERY GUEST IS A PRIORITY. I also spoke to the manager(Kim who was absolutely kind, friendly, welcoming, attentive and professional) who the day we were leaving seemed to be chummy ,chummy w/the young lady so I don't think any type of action was taken but I could be wrong. Anyhoo, whoever is reading this you need to RETRAIN some of the people that work there. Also, there needs to be training for all of the housekeepers that clean the rooms. There needs to be a uniform way of doing things. I'm of the persuasion that if I am spending my money I expect a certain level of service which was lacking. Papayago, please take a page out of the book of the Marriott in Grand Cayman. Just came back & service/ALL STAFF was ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars!
