About this property

Original holiday apartment covered with palm leaves

The generously proportioned Don Genaro apartment complex with a total area of ​​6000 square meters offers a total of 9 accommodation units consisting of apartments / cottages of various sizes and amenities. The complex has a large chlorine-free swimming pool with large hardwood deck and comfortable pool chairs and a smaller relaxation pool.
In addition, Don Genaro offers a generous "palappa" (shady palm leaf hut) with lounge furniture, hammocks and bar, a barbecue / grill hut for sociable hours, a small castle chapel, a turtle enclosure and inside free parking.
If you want to switch off properly, then you are exactly right here. Enjoy the large tropical garden, the exotic wildlife and the magnificent view of the largest mountain Curacao - the Christoffelberg.

It's hard to describe the Palapino, with a roof of palm leaves, but you have to experience it, but if you want to live in the middle of nature and yet do not want to miss comfort,,,

- if you finally want to cook outside and shower and still want to sleep peacefully inside ...
- if you want to welcome and observe hummingbirds, sugar birds and Gekkos as house guests ...
- if you love plants and are curious about tropical tree fruits ...
- if you prefer to have original colonial furniture on your vacation than Ikea off the shelf ....
- if you love hardwood shutter windows because the wind is blowing through here ...
- If you prefer LED light and solar energy rather than cold energy-saving lamps ...
- if you yourself want to experience how warm cold water can be and appreciate an additional outdoor shower ...
want to look and be able to do without a television,,,
.... Then you are exactly right at our Palapino!

Luxury Rustic Getaway

The Don Genaro Apartments are like an Oasis...Great place for solitude, pool time & sunshine; and serves as a perfect hub to visit all the fabulous beaches. Hosts were super helpful & friendly in every way. (Local dogs barking is part of the neighborhood.) Elke & Christopher & Susanna all made our stay very comfortable. Would highly recommend for longer term vacation or short term.

Le fait qu'il n'y avait pas d'air climatisé nous inquiétait pour le sommeil. Le vieil éventail au plafond a très bien performé et comme il y a beaucoup d'ouvertures avec moustiquaire nous avons très bien dormi. Beaucoup d'espace de rangement par contre il faudrait améliorer l'éclairage et plus particulièrement pour l'évier de la chambre de bain.Pour la cuisine extérieure, il y a suffisamment de vaisselles et d'ustensiles.Ça se complique pour la préparation des aliments car il y a, selon moi, moins que le minimum pour la préparation des aliments. La plaque de cuisson a des commandes très effacées et comme il n'y a pas d'éclairage au dessus de la plaque c'est avec notre lampe de poche qu'on trouvais les commandes à la tombée du jour (vers 18H ).Il n'y a pas d'eau chaude dans les éviers mais seulement dans la douche,sur demande.Le bureau de la réception est ouvert tous les jours de 8H à 10h AM, après quoi, il faut les contacter par courriel. Tout a bien fonctionné à cet effet.À notre arrivée, le lit n'avait pas d'oreillers ni de drap pour lit double. Nous avons bien reçu des oreillers mais 2 draps de lit simple car il n'y a pas de drap de lit double de disponible. Nous nous en sommes accommodé. Contrairement à l'annonce, il n'y a pas de buanderie ni de laveuse mais une dame qui lave nos vêtement pour des . Le prix est très raisonnable mais il faut prévoir 24h de délais pour avoir nos vêtements lavés.Plusieurs plages accessibles en moins de 20 minutes

Zuhause in der Karibik

Wir waren zum ersten Mal in der Karibik, überhaupt auf einer Fernreise. Aber Dank der super Betreuung haben wir uns sofort wie zuhause gefühlt. Die Hängematte war mein erklärter Lieblingsplatz zwischen den Ausflügen zu den diversen Traumstränden. Alles bestens.

Karibischer Urlaubstraum

Herzlicher Empfang der Gastgeber, ausführliche Inseltipps, Unterstützung und Organisation u. a. bei der Autovermietung, Restaurantbesuchen, Massage vor Ort, Schnorchelausrüstung etc. Das tropische Palapino, mit der schönen Außenküche, sorgte für ein entspanntes Kochvergnügen. Der zur Vefügung stehende Weber Grill, wurde von uns oft in Anspruch genommen ( Fleisch und Fisch ist preiswert). Zu erwähnen ist auch die super Leitungswasserqualität, feinstes Trinkwasser, auch angenehm für Haut und Haar. Die vorhandene Kühlbox, mit dem hervorragenden Wasser, war täglich mit auf unseren Ausflügen. Über die vielen großen Badetücher haben wir uns auch gefreut. Ein ideales Plätzchen zum Erholen, ruhig (bis auf das Hundegebell in den Morgenstunden) gelegen, in einer schönen, tropischen Umgebung. Relaxen in der Hängematte und die saubere Luft und die angenehmen Temperaturen genießen, das trägt viel zur Erholung bei. Es gibt viel Sehenswertes auf der schönen Insel, von den farbenfrohen Häusern, über die kleinen traumhaften Sandstrände (Badeschuhe sind empfehlenswert), bis zur gut besuchten Hauptstadt Willemstad. Das Sea Aquarium ist traumhaft gelegen und auf alle Fälle ein Besuch wert. In dem kleinen Außenpool, vor dem Palapino haben wir beim nächtlichen Baden, den fantastischen Sternenhimmel bewundern können. Ein ganz liebes Dankeschön an Elke und Christopher, bei denen wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt haben. Wir waren sicher nicht das letzte Mal hier. Und: Der selbstgebackene Apfelkuchen und die schmackhafte Tasse Kaffee, kurz vor unserem Heimflug, haben uns sehr lecker geschmeckt, vielen Dank nochmal dafür.
