Unit and resort are well maintained. Staff are very friendly. The location and views are astonishingly beautiful! Restaurants are very close by, the pool is nice, and the property allows direct diving in divine Caribbean waters.

Quiet home on the ocean

We loved this home and want to return. We are off the beaten path travelers. The location was perfect because it was away from the city with all the traffic. If you’re looking for nightlife, this is not the spot. We spent our days looking out into the vast ocean and horizon. Absolutely love the stairs to the tiny cliff jump into the Clearwaters. The home was very clean and had everything we needed. The hosts were kind and communicative if you’re looking for a quiet and relaxing and get away this is it.

Everything about this stay was amazing. The view of the ocean, vicinity to beaches, the west punt area itself. The unit was clean, stocked with kitchen utensils and dishes, comfortable and communication with the hosts was amazing. Be sure to print out the email they send you, it’s spot on. Thank you for an amazing vacation.

Great place!

We really loved the quietness of this place! We had everything we could have needed. Wonderful snorkling right off the sides! We saw squids and turtles! Convenient to lots of beaches and the Cactus Cafe, yet far enough to leave the traffic congestion in the city!

Marazul 7B

We loved the place. Perfect to walk out to the coral wall and look down at the fish, watch the birds, and hang with the iguanas. We made dinner there every night and the kitchen was perfectly equipped. For us, this is the point on the island to stay. There are plenty of little restaurants and things to explore and it is much quieter than Willemstad. It was great to enjoy a drink at cocktail hour under the gazebo or in the shade of the pool area. Exactly what we want in a vacation. We would happily return.

Practically paradise

We were so happy with our stay! The condo was cute, clean and cooled off nicely with the air conditioner. It was an amazing setting. We enjoyed watching the sun set each night on the ocean. It was so quiet and peaceful. We really felt like we had the island to ourselves at times. We could walk down to the ocean in just a minute. Location was so nice. Close to great diving, swimming with the sea turtles, and delicious restaurants. We loved it!!!!

Beautiful spot

We enjoyed this condo very much. We spent the first half of our vacation in Westpunt before heading to Willemstad - it was a great idea. This complex is quiet, safe and the people are friendly. The manager was there to help us with anything we needed. The unit was great for a couple - lots of space to relax. It is stocked with everything you need. The bed was very comfy too! The location is close to some of the best beaches we visited. The pool was also very nice. We would definitely recommend this unit for anyone looking to spend some quiet time away from the busy city - it was perfect.

Great location on the west side

Nice property. Quiet. Secure. Villa perfectly located for sunsets, close to pool, quick parking, and access to water. Kitchen has everything you need. Be sure to shop for majority of things before heading west. There is a small market across and down from Jaanchies to get a few things, paper products, etc. Cindy has great info about the island she provides to guests.

What a gem!

We stayed here 5 nights and it was the perfect place for us! The location is close to all of the beaches in the area and there are several restaurants right around the corner, our favorite was Playa Forti. The condo is well equipped and stocked with all of the essentials you'll need while here. Like Cindy recommends, stop at a grocery store on your way in from Willemstad, there are none here. Centrum was a very large nice store that had everything you would need. We made a big breakfast every morning and ate out every night. Cindy, the owner, was very responsive and timely, very easy to work with. The condo is perfectly decorated for an island retreat and the bed was amazingly comfortable. We hope to be back next year!

Paradise Found

We had a phenomenal time in Curacao. What an amazing place. Truly a diver's paradise. There are so many great places to dive on the island, but the diving right off the property was awesome too. The vacation home itself was just as advertised, and worked out perfectly for the 3 of us. Incredible location and all the amenities one could ask for. Plenty of local restaurants and shops within reasonable driving distance to obtain the necessities one needs when looking to be separated from the tourist areas and resorts. The entire property was very well-maintained, and the manager was friendly and accessible. The owner was very responsive to all of my questions prior to our vacation, and was even quick to respond on Christmas Eve from the US while with her family for the holidays. I would recommend this place it to anyone. Two-thumbs up!!

Perfect location, beautiful property, responsive hosts

Wholeheartedly recommend this property! So close to all the beautiful beaches with immediate access to snorkeling and diving out the front door. Close enough to Willemstad that we drove in for shopping, nightlife, restaurants frequently. Very easy to travel around the island via rental car, but so much to keep us occupied within a short walk. The home is well-equipped with everything we needed and the management (Rene) on-site was readily available and offered so many good suggestions on fun things to do nearby. Our favorite part about the amenities was the bed!! What a difference a super comfortable bed makes to enhance a perfect vacation! Last, but not least, the responsiveness of the owner to our questions and requests was truly amazing....my emails were typically answered within minutes! My 16 year old daughter and I had a fabulous time! Thanks so much!

Awesome vacation spot

The resort was the perfect vacation spot for unwinding, relaxing and rejuvenation. The crystal clear Caribbean water right outside our patio door, beckoned us to dive in for swimming, snorkeling and diving. We stayed in Unit 7B where we had an unobstructed view of the beautiful sea. This unit had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and with the cross-breeze, we never needed to run the air conditioner, except at night. Marazul is about a 40 minute drive from the airport so we picked up groceries before heading out to the resort. There are some good restaurants on this end of the island but they are only open a few days a week, so plan on doing a lot of your own cooking. This area of the island does not offer much in the way of a night life, so if you are expecting a party-style vacation, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a place to truly unwind, relax and enjoy the beautiful sunsets, then you've found a great vacation spot.

Wonderful Westpunt

If you are looking for a great place to relax and get away from it all, this is it! We had a wonderful stay at Marazul Dive Resort. The unit was clean and very comfortable for our 7 night stay. It was perfect for two people, or maybe three; I think it would be a little too cozy for four adults. We cooked several of our meals there and found the kitchen to be well stocked with everything we needed. There was not a lot of breeze blowing during our time so we ended up having to use the A/C more than we would have liked. However the unit does cool down very nicely, and when the breeze does blow it's perfect with the windows open. The bed was very comfortable. The view from the unit is amazing and you will want to catch the sunset every night from the balcony or other vantage point around the property. The resort is laid out nicely with a lovely pool and two water accesses for snorkeling and diving. We met several people around the property who have been coming back to Marazul year after year; that says a lot for the experience. It is an easy walk to Playa Forti and Playa Grandi, as well as a couple of restaurants (Blue View, Playa Forti Restaurant) and a short drive to a few others. Traffic around Willemstad can be quite challenging so it was nice being up in Westpunt - no traffic there! We hiked from the unit to Watamula (fantastic coastal hike) and also drove to and hiked Shete Boka and Christoffel Mountain; highly recommend all three! Don't miss dinner at Sol Food and Landhuis Misje also, they were both great. We also took a snorkel trip to Klien Curacao (Breeze Boat Trips) and highly recommend that as well. Thank you for a wonderful stay! I don't know if we will return to your beautiful island but if we do I would stay here again without hestitation.

Great for divers - not as much for NON-divers

First off let me say that this was very easy to book and the owner was very communicative and gracious. Because of that I find this a difficult review to write. To explain that let me divide the review into two parts; divers and non-divers. If you are a diver you’re going to love this place. There are many close places to enjoy the ocean even the one right off the cliff where the townhouse is located. While there are small private beaches in the area they are not recommended for safety’s sake and if you want one where everyone goes then you pay (about $10 per person). The kitchen is well appointed the place is very clean and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure your comfort. I appreciated the cooler because we used it when we went to the grocery store which was a significant drive away. It does not have high end furnishings but they are comfortable and adequate. I loved the balcony off the master bedroom. There isn’t central air but there is air upstairs and down and with the fans on as well it was plenty cool. We found if we shut the bedroom door it was more efficient. I didn’t run the air downstairs most days – just left the fans on and the doors open. For you non-divers (of which that was us) the western side of the island is not as populated so you’re going to take quite the drive to just about anything you want. You’re not going to find a plethora of restaurants and grocery stores. If that’s important to you then this location is not for you. The eastern side of the island is crammed with people, places to eat and things to do. Traffic is very heavy so from the townhouse location on the western part of the island you’ll spend over an hour getting there. So because we wanted peace and quiet yet still have access to modern conveniences we checked out early (even though we were paid through the week) and moved to a resort on the eastern side of the island. The cost was only slightly more than what we were paying per night at the townhouse yet it was worlds apart. We had the relaxing venue we wanted with four top restaurants within walking distance of our suite. While I like being in a place I can cook SOME meals it was not my desire to cook EVERY meal and that’s what I found staying here. We ate at Sol Food one night and frankly after all the reviews I expected more. The food was just okay. So we had a little bit of experience with both sides of the island but it was the resort that redeemed the vacation for us.

Perfect location

Arriving in a tropical storm in darkness we had to wait to see the location till the following morning. It is post card beautiful. Loved the direct access to the sea, BBQ, security, pool, proximity to 3 restaurants and the most beautiful beaches on the island. Some have mentioned that the decor and some furniture is a bit dated. But all appliances and showers worked well. Greg is a an attentive and unobtrusive host. We thought it reasonable value and would recommend.

Breathtaking View

The view is absolutely amazing. The apartment had everything we needed and the location was perfect for our needs. We were only steps away from snorkeling, which was great. The pool was refreshing with beautiful landscaping. The community was welcoming with neighbors interacting frequently, and the iguanas were fun to watch. We had a wonderful stay.
