Guest reviews for BijBlauw
"Very pleasant staff Great location and beautiful view over the ocean Comfortable bed - nice breakfast"
"Aucun."
"The ocean view from the restaurant is stunning, is exactly as is shown in the pictures. The beds were very comfty and size of the bedroom and bathroom was really nice. The location is top! 10 min walking to punda beach and downtown."
"The breakfast did not fully match what was offered. Orange juice, which was included in the breakfast description, was not available on either day, and guests are not informed in advance, so you cannot decide beforehand whether the breakfast is worth paying for. Check-in was late and check-out was very early at 10:00. While luggage storage is allowed, there is no option to shower afterward. Considering how hot Curaçao is, this is very inconvenient if you plan to walk around before a flight. At check-out, there was a complete lack of communication from reception. The receptionist was aware that I was preparing to leave, as I was in a small room behind the desk organizing and closing my suitcases. She told me to “take your time,” but did not inform me that she would be leaving or that the hotel door would be locked. When I exited with my luggage, the hotel door was closed and locked, and there was no one at reception. No explanation was given and no prior notice was communicated. I was left outside with my suitcases until another staff member (possibly from the restaurant) appeared and kindly helped me carry them to the car."
"We loved this place, it has a large and comfortable bed, the staff is friendly (youth from the Netherlands mostly :)) and personal touches were added. Our room was so big and beautiful, with historic elements that were kept in the design. The restaurant’s location is scenic and it serves delicious food. It was easy to walk to other parts of the town. I recommend this place !"
"This is no one’s fault but some people outside love to rev their engines really loudly right outside the hotel so that might be startling for some. It is possible that it is not always the case though."
"Very friendly staff, apartment like accommodation and good restaurant with wonderful view of the sea"
"Shaky WiFi and not easy entry into the hotel pool"
"The staff was super friendly and helpful. Luke went out of his way to fix a light."
"The hotel should provide written instructions to the guest about evening procedures. A guest was banging on the steel gate at 1.15am because they did not remember to use the room key to let themselves in. Also, the security guard was not present at that time."
"It’s beautiful, relaxing, great taste. Friendly staff as well. They were also kind enough to change my dates as I had a mishap with my flight. 100% recommended."
"Aucun."
"The staff were very nice and accommodating. They remembered my name throughout my stay, and were very responsive if I had a question. The location was perfect, and the restaurant has stunning views and great cuisine. Would definitely stay there again."
"Aucun."
"Nice room and facilities. We loved having the ocean just in front of the hotel therefore the possibility to swim at walking distance from our room. Also one of the best places to have breakfast in the area."
"Aucun."
"Beautiful setting, wonderful food, pleasant staff and owners. Location fabulous."
"It was perfect"
"Very nice and old Dutch style property. Paint was solid colors and looked like it was recently done. Great decorations and made the room very cozy. Good shower head as I like big shower heads."
"Shared this with the team and they did share their apologies and have plans for repairs on some items. Bathroom is a bit weird for me since it is all open with no doors. Not sure if this is normal in Dutch culture but it was a bit difficult to adapt."

"It was centrally location. Kasita was always thoughtful and kind. A true joy to talk to."
Bob Kasita Jongbloed
"Rose did an awesome job helping us find the apartment, even recording a video to make it easier! The place is very comfortable, the bed is big, good ventilation, AC and a fully equipped kitchen! She even showed us an entrance to a super pretty beach where few people go to, so you basically get a free "private" beach with your reservation just a 5-10 minute walk away! :)"
"Excellente communication avec l’hôte et emplacement idéal. Possibilité de louer un véhicule directement auprès de lui."
