What it’s good at
Listed
Complimentary shuttle service connects the Piscadera Bay shoreline directly to downtown Willemstad.
What they say
Also in AFAR.
The Curacao Marriott Beach Resort may be one of the best located hotels I’ve ever been to. Situated on a private beach in Piscadera Bay, the resort feels like the height of secluded and elegant resorts.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Piscadera Bay sits right outside, and the pastel colonial streets of Willemstad are a three-mile drive away.
The rooms
Rooms use pale neutrals and turquoise accents, with private balconies that look across the gardens or out to sea.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Two pools stay open around the clock, including an oceanfront infinity lap pool looking straight across Piscadera Bay.
The gym and spa
The 24-hour fitness center includes a yoga studio, and open-air beach cabanas host massages and aloe vera wraps.
Restaurant
Salty at the Beach
Tables sit directly on the sand under lanterns, serving wood-fired whole fish and grilled seafood by the water.
At the table
Zala Gastro Lounge serves small plates and Caribbean rums, and JFK Steakhouse keeps a cellar of 150 wines.
How it began
A three-year overhaul completed in 2019 removed the property's former casino and added a fourth floor to the 1992 building.
