The house
HiltonBeachfront aquapark playground
A high-energy, all-inclusive beach resort geared toward families who want all-day water adventures and lively Caribbean entertainment.
What it’s good at
Listed
Five open-air and indoor drinking spots, including a 24-hour patisserie and beach bar.
Listed
An on-site art boulevard and gallery beside Willemstad's protected coastal mangrove park.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Willemstad's pastel colonial streets and floating pontoon bridge are an easy stroll away, just beyond the neighboring mangrove park.
The rooms
Rooms sit in a curved oceanfront wing shaped like a cruise liner, looking out toward the sea or resort grounds.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A long pool stretches toward the sea and docked cruise ships. Nearby, an on-site waterpark has six twisting slides.
The spa and gym
Thatched cabanas host massage treatments right on the sand, and the gym looks onto the patio through floor-to-ceiling glass.
At the table
Open-air tables under timber pergolas serve fresh Caribbean seafood, and thatched beach bars pour tropical cocktails along the sand.
How it began
The grounds once held the 1968 Veneto Holiday Beach Hotel, replaced in 2020 by a completely rebuilt oceanfront complex.
