  We loved our stay here. We were a group of 8 women sharing all four rooms and it was perfect. Jolanda was super helpful in the booking. Arend was a great contact on the ground. They helped us book airport transfer in a van that held us all ($80usd but worth it not to have to rent a car). The grocery store and beach are in walking distance as are restaurants, two spas, the drop off location for a catamaran snorkeling tour and a little shopping. The bus stop is also nearby and for less than $2usd it'll take you straight to Willemstad, the Sea Aquarium and other beaches. You can get a list of stops from the resort across the street. We did as the other reviewers suggested and used door and window breezes during the day and only turned on the AC at night and that worked fine for us. No complaints. We were also grateful for the bug spray though some of us got bit more than others. And during the day we worked together on our computers and the wifi connection was stellar. Not a single issue even with 8 users on at the same time plus cell phones. I was also able to Facetime the kids every night and never lost my connection. The pictures are accurate (the villa and rooms are gorgeous) and everything was as the ad said it was. Maybe even nicer. We'll definitely return.

  Our group of four couples thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the villa. The pictures don't lie--the villa and the grounds are absolutely stunning. The property is well maintained and very clean. The bedrooms are comfortable and we all appreciated that we had our own bathrooms. The kitchen is well appointed and stocked with everything you need. We really enjoyed our days and evenings spent under the covered patio enjoying meals and drinks. The pool is so nice---large, clean and well maintained. We took full advantage of spending as much time as we could floating around on the foam noodles and even bought a ball and played like kids. LOL. The barbecue area is really nice too. While we did have a good number of meals at the villa we did like that the location is so good so that you can walk down to the restaurants on Jan Thiel Beach. A must do after dinner is to enjoy a gelato if you are in that area. The grocery store is a short walk from the villa and has everything you will need. Love the cheese and sausages they stock there. The area is beautiful and we felt totally comfortable and safe and enjoyed morning walks around the neighbourhood. The property manager Arend is wonderful. He was always available to answer questions or help us out in any way. Curacao is a beautiful island and we wish we had seen and explored more. The vacation was primarily to relax and just unwind and that is exactly what we did and the villa certainly did that for us. I would also like to say that the Jolanda, the owner, is very quick to respond to any inquiries and offers such great advice so that you get the most out of your stay in Curacao. I would recommend this property to any families or groups looking for the perfect get away. Thank you again to Jolanda and Arend for making this such a wonderful holiday. I look forward to returning and recommending this property to my friends and co-workers.

  Tremendous space at this property! We loved the property, especially the covered decks and pool area. A great property for larger families or group of friends. Owner and property manager were very helpful and pleasant. Would definitely visit again if we were to return to Curacao.

  Four of us (two couples) enjoyed six days at Villa Royal. The owner was efficient and great to deal with - promptly replying to my initial inquiry about availability and then quickly responding to questions about the property and surrounding area. The agent on-site was helpful and pleasant. Villa Royal is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped and exceptionally well stocked with crockery/glassware/cutlery and utensils. The garden, pool and patios are truly spectacular. The careful thought that evidently went into their design and landscaping has resulted in a wonderful setting for outdoor living. There was no issue at all with the electricity usage. The Jan Thiel beach area is nice but a little too built up for our taste. However, this is a terrific property and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending it to anyone.

  I just wanted to thank you Jolanda for the nice time we had at your house in Curacao. The house is very beautiful, clean, and well maintained. All the towels and beds were nice and clean. The kitchen was modern and had pots, pans, silverware and various appliances. Arend the property manager was very helpful and nice to work with. The house owner Jolanda was very helpful prior to leaving on my trip. Jolanda responded to all emails/ phone calls and was nice to work with. There was no problem staying within the electrical usage amount. The pool was nice to relax in. The pool cleaning company came by two times to clean the pool during the week we stayed at the house. We never sat on the couch/sofa or watched TV. We were always outside enjoying the island. The pictures of the property on VRBO were accurate. I would recommend this property to a family member or friend. Be sure to bring your own beach towels. Property has wireless internet. Overall this was a very nice house to stay at!

  The house was exactly as promised and described; everything is updated, modern, and very comfortable. There are so many wonderful living spaces inside and out, it was hard to leave for the day, and exciting to return to after a long day on the beach. We spent nearly every evening eating dinner at the spacious dinner table outside, forgoing restaurants since the atmosphere at the house was so lovely. The kitchen had every amenity we needed for feeding a large group every day (the outdoor grill was also enjoyable to use). We had eight adults and three young children (6, 2 and 1). The house and property were large enough and accommodated us perfectly. The fact that every bedroom had a full bathroom really came in handy with such a large group. Extra cribs, beds and towels were provided for the kids, which really came in handy. The house itself was very kid friendly. Access to the pool is via one set of wide, wooden stairs, which made watching the kids and preventing access to the pool quite easy. They also loved the outdoor shower and running around in the large backyard. The pool had a great shallow end (and steps) for the kids to enjoy, and a very deep-end for the adults to dive into. Beautiful shrubbery around the pool and backyard made the area extremely private. Jolanda, the owner, was extremely easy to contact, responsive to all questions, and very accommodating. The rental management company also provided good service. We had no problems staying within the pre-paid electricity allotment - we did laundry nearly every day, and used the air conditioners every night and in one room for the kids' naps during the day. We do recommend renting a car to see all of the island's beaches, especially little and big Knip. Cas Abou beach was another favorite. That said, Jan Thiel is a great, safe upscale neighborhood with restaurants, stores and a spa within walking distance. There were regular security patrols - one even helped us jump a dead car battery and loaned us his cell phone to call the car rental company. One note - a few reviewers recommended heavy and varied mosquito protection. We definitely agree, especially with kids. We'd also also recommend covering up all fruit on the kitchen counter - we had a few birds fly through the many windows for a snack in the kitchen. :-) In sum, we agree whole heartedly with the other review titles - the house is truly even better in person and perfect in all senses.

  Upon arrival to the house i was quite happy and it exceeded my expectations. There was a total of 5 people for this trip and the house was more than sufficient in size. The whole place lent it self to a lot of relaxing. Jan Thiel beach is an easy walk from the house and there are plenty of restaurants and shops to keep you busy. I do recommend renting a car so that you can see the whole island. The grocery store that was just a few minutes from the house had many items that we normally would buy in the US so that made us very happy. Arend gave excellent driving directions from the airport and was very friendly in explaining all i needed to know about the house. If you rent this house you will not be disappointed.

  All the photos are accurate, and the house is simply amazing. The location (Jan Thiel) is really safe, with patrol cars going up and down 24x7. There is a supermarket only a feel blocks away, and many restaurants down the street. I would recommend a car and, at least a week, for enjoying all that the house has to offer, as well the whole Island. Our main concern was the power bill, but the landlord checked the counter with us, on our reception. So, we just kept looking it, with no major problems. The pool was always clean, and working automatically, so, no worries about that. Summarising, rent a exceptional house like this one, a car, and be happy in Curaçao! To brazilian folks (aos brasileiros): Nós escolhemos Curaçao por ser um ponto médio entre Aruba (extremamente urbanizada, quase uma Miami) e Bonaire (a menos urbanizada, com mais belezas naturais). A recepção da casa foi fantástica, assim como todo o serviço da senhora da reserva e do responsável local pelo imóvel. A casa é simplesmente fantástica, parece uma mansão, com uma cozinha sensacional e quartos de tirar o folego. Esse é um destino perfeito, ainda mais com voôs diretos de Brasília. O custo da alimentação e bebidas é similar ao brasileiro. Com tudo, fazendo 4 churrascos em uma semana, atravessando a ilha em busca das melhores praias, não gastamos mais do que iríamos em uma ida ao Nordeste. O povo é muito gentil e estão sempre prontos a ajudar. Quase todos falam inglês e os que não falam compreendem bem o espanhol e português, afinal, a língua oficial (Papiamento) é a junção de português, espanhol e holandês. Em suma, alugue uma bela casa, como esta, um carro, e seja feliz em Curaçao.
