We loved our penthouse room at The Reef. It had everything we needed and the lanai/view was out of this world. It’s a short drive from golf, groceries, several beaches and Willemstad. Somehow, we did not get the memo that there was a very information app to use until check out, so that was disappointing to say the least. We cannot wait to go back again.

Beautiful view, lots of walking. The room was filled with mosquitoes, and there were no washcloths available when we arrived or floor mats. The staff was helpful to an extent. They will not provide much assistance if you are not staying past 4 days.

We loved our accommodations and the cleaning staff. There was always a lounge available at the pool at anytime during the day. The beach is a short distance by car and a 10-15 minute walk and the Centrum grocery store is about 5 minutes by car and has a good supply of any needs. A great place to stay.

Understand what you are booking
This is a super clean, ultra modern , well appointed apartment with stunning views and a lovely pool. It is not a full service hotel. You will need a car. It is 2 miles to the nearest supermarket. The beach and nearest restaurants are 1/2 to 3/4 miles away with some steep hills. We recommend using Coral&Coco to arrange car rental and tours in advance.

This is the best property we could have ever booked for our very first time in Curaçao.
If you are looking for a very touristy area, Blue Bay Resort is not for you. However, if you are looking for a relaxing experience, family friendly and just a short drive to the best beaches you will ever see, this is the place to be. You have 2 supermarkets just 3-5 mins away (driving). The private beach was so beautiful.
The apartment was equipped with everything we needed. The balcony had spectacular views of the ocean, the golf course and the pool. Be mindful of the energy consumption because there is a limit before you get charged extra.
Tip: make sure lights and AC are turned off when you leave the apt during the day.
We are already planning our next trip to CUR and we will stay at the Blue Bay Resort.

Unit was in a quiet area and beat the pool. Loved hearing the waterfall.
The kitchen was stacked with all the essentials. Beach towels, drying rack, dishwasher fluid, washing machine pods. It was great.
Tip: place hand soap in the powder room and kitchen. Also dishwasher liquid for small items instead of only dishwasher to conserve energy.

Loved the location and apartment, however, a few things are desired for the apartment, such as a curtain to cover the large glass doors so everyone can’t see in at all hours. They didn’t come to clean at all, just brought us clean towels. Also, if you are a light sleeper, the clinging of the sun shades outside may wake you frequently. Nonetheless, I would stay at The Reef again. The pool was beautiful and the area was nice and quiet. The apartment was nicely decorated in a cheek, modern design.

Property was clean, pool was great and area was safe. Staff were friendly at security. The food wasnt the best on the beach. The apartment was lovely and had a majority of things you needed. There was construction but honestly I could have cared less of the noise, it wasnt irritating and you cant hear it when your inside. I have no complaints, but i do have 2 suggestions! Women need a full size mirror and a comforter would have been great, but i managed with a the sheet and 2 stack couch blankets. Overall, i would come back again!

We fell in love with Blue Bay and will definitely be back . The apartment was beautifully decorated, was specious and super clean , patio was to die for with two steps from the pool. We did not use housekeeping but it was an option if staying for more than 5 days. Beds were comfortable , everyone was friendly , grocery store centrum few minutes away , blue bay beach was spectacular. The property management @coralandcoco was outstanding especially Mart, who saved us on the arrival.
We had everything we needed accept blankets ( only flat sheet provided) I understand power is very expansive and they probably don’t want you to blast ac and cover yourself with heavy blanket but I wish sheet was not the only option
There is construction next door to the Reef but it did not bother us at all . We live the modern design the beautiful properties being build around and hit some ideas for our own home . Thumbs up to architects! Thank you for very memorable stay.

The condo was gorgeous and the salt water pool was great (just needs cleaning). Kitchen area is really nice.
What you need to know:
They give you limited electricity here and charge you for every bit you go over. This isn’t disclosed until you get to the hotel for check-in and they have already taken your money.
It’s not easy to find the check-in office.
Make sure to download WhatsApp as that’s their main form of communication with you.
There was gym-like fitness center (only a pay for yoga like services place that cost extra).
The food options were not good. We liked the pizza stand and ice cream stand. As far as meals the food quality wasn’t good. The staff at the food places aren’t attentive and you have to go out of your way to get their attention to sit, get menus, and order.
there were problems in the condo - WiFi was broken for 4 days and the staff kept trying to tell me it was working. Was day 5 into a 7 day stay before they would get someone out to fix it. The curtain blinds are necessary to sleep as your bed is right beside windows where people walk to the condo. The curtain blind was broken and only fixed a day before we left. The sink was stopped up before our arrival (which they asked if we broke). The safe never worked. The worst part is they walk the place before/after every tenant to make sure things aren’t broken and in need of repair. However they never identify these things. Then when we reported it they would ask if we broke these things.

It was very good. The only thing to add, is the furniture on the terrace does not at all reflect the photo. They have many units for rental, and our terrace furniture was not confortable at all. The same observation was made from other tourists renting other units.

Very nice condo. We have a complimentary upgrade to 3 bdr penthouse. Which is nice. Spacious place for 2 couples. It is a kind of vrbo, but they provide a beach towels and you can change them every day. Kitchen full of dishes and everything. But you have to buy food, salt, sugar and coffee capsules, that feet to their coffee machine. Even dish soap you have to buy.
Private beach, the distance 10-15 min walk, we used to drive mostly. Free sunbed and ambarellas.
Everything was good, only we do not like one thing - stop-control to check your entry code to get car access to the complex. Sometimes 15 min waiting line during the day, in the evening line is faster.
Nice beach for snorkeling, We saw new fish at the rocks on the right to the ocean from beach.
