We would have preferred more ceramic or porcelain plates, cups, and bowls in our apartment, as the plastic ones there were not suitable for use in the microwave.

We loved the warm welcome by Ilona, and our apartment was very comfortable. The whole complex was much to our liking, with lovely outdoor spaces, two nice little pools, and a great room with a palm thatched roof with lots of space. It was close to super lovely Mambo Beach and everything else we wanted to see was easy to get to.

The young black woman who I first met did not conduct herself in a professional manner. She gave me the wrong amount owed to the hotel but later changed her mind as to the amount left on the invoice. I was promised a security box to place my documents in but never received one. The promise was made by Maddy.

I liked the pool, the kitchenette, the helpfulness of most of the staff.

The shared kitchen, and no coffee maker upstairs. There was one but it was broken, so I had to run down to the kitchen and brew a pot each morning.

Great location and price. The owner did upgrade the room, which made a huge difference. Refrigerator in the room. Good a/c

Room al little small and no kitchen of it’s own. Neighborhood isn't that great I find personally.

Nice staff, easy to meet people, close to the city and a supermarket within walking distance.

The room are very clean, and you have a small fridge in all the rooms. Breakfast you do it in the share kitchen, You have all you need to do the cooking in the share kitchen, 2 stoves, toaster, coffee maker, kettle...etc. The location is in the middle, 20 walk to downtown and 20 minutes to mambo beach. Supermarket 2 minutes walk.

I love to come to this place because of its relaxed atmosphere and the access to its kitchen. Staying in hotels for business frequently I am delighted if I can prepare my own breakfast, simple meal or just have a glass of wine and some picadillos. There is always a nice social interaction with other guests.

It doesn't have a restaurant or any type of cooked meals. There is a shared kitchen with plates, cups, utensils, pots/pans, stove/microwave, the guests are expected to buy their own food and drinks and prepare their own meals or go out of the facilities to local restaurants. They do have a coffee maker and a hot water pot in the kitchen but not in the rooms separately. There is a grocery store nearby (about 2 - 3 minutes walking).

The room had a good air-conditioning unit. (It's a mini split AC unit and it was able to go under 65 fahrenheit/18 celsius.) This was a big plus since we came at the end of October and the daily temperatures were around 88 - 93 degrees fahrenheit. The room had a nice queen size bed with a small private bathroom. (The bathroom has a shower, sit down toilet, and a sink.) The room also came with a mini fridge and a small desk with a mounted flat screen TV. I also liked how the place had a several roof tops where multiple people could hang out after a day of traveling. The rooftops had ample tables, chairs, and couches. There are 2 swimming pools onsite. We are cat lovers and at night, cats will come out and you can feed them. The people we encountered were a mix bunch. Some of the guests were just workers who were in the area for 2-3 weeks, whereas some were larger families vacationing. Everyone kind of blends together. The cleaning ladies were great as they made sure we got fresh towels daily and they made sure our rooms were clean everyday. Tipping is not expected, but much appreciated (most of Curacao follows a European type of style of gratuity/tipping) but we tipped anyway (about a few bucks a day). In terms of location, Boca Simon is an in between, it's not really close to downtown Willemstad and you will have to walk to go to all the restaurants. It's situated between Avila Hotel (15 minutes walk) and Sunscape Hotel (20 minutes walk). There are some nice restaurants nearby such as Saint Tropez, Pato, SOI 95, Penn, SAL, etc. but you will have to walk about 5-15 minutes. This was fine as my GF and I like exploring outside of our normal comfort zones but I get it, if walking is not ideal. I'd recommend this place if you have a large family, staying for an extended period time, and/or budget conscious. This place is a no frills place for sleeping and possibly making your own meals/drinks.

Some of the bed linens were quite worn and had holes in them.

The owner, Magdy, treated us like family. He was extremely friendly and helpful. He made sure we had everything we needed, gave us lots of tips about Curacao, and even drove us to the airport.

Nothing we didn’t “like”, but two notes: I like to sleep with two pillows and we each only had one, not a big deal. There is also a church and school right next door. The school bell goes off at 7:20 am during the week and the church bells ring on Sunday morning, so if you like to sleep in, you may want earplugs!

This was a great little boutique type hotel centrally located to beaches and downtown areas, at a very affordable price. We rented a car and parking was available inside the gate which was very convenient. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful. We loved the pool area and the shared kitchen worked well for cooking breakfasts and dinner. The room was small but clean and very comfortable. We didn’t walk anywhere but the neighborhood seemed to be pretty quiet and safe, although not a real “touristy” area which was fine by us. We would definitely stay here again.

nice friendly place with a small, totally non-touristic beach very near and a small swimmingpool. nice communal kitchen

Stayed in April 2024

As there are no nice beaches nor restaurants or bars in the vicinity, it is advisable to rent a car when on Curaçao, there are minibuses and also a big bus to Punda, the old town of Willemstad. It's about 2½km, same distance to nice Mambo Beach (but south)

Very friendly place, good atmosphere and friendly staff. The room was nice, it has a refrigerator too. Boca Simon has a nice pool. You can use the kitchen and make your own breakfast and other meals. A supermarket is about 100m down the road.

Common kitchen could be messy at times and some people took kitchen over for long period of time. Minor disturbance though.

Lovely place, with common shared kitchen, shared pool and chiling areas. Kind of hostel vibe, that we enjoyed (possible to meet other travellers, but at night it is quiet)

Stayed in March 2024

Overall I liked it very much but just one little thing: there was no shampoo in the room

The atmosphere is the hotel is great. Nice to meet people there and spend the evening together. The staff is very nice as well. You can walk to Mambo beach, Avila and Willemstad centre or take us the minivans or busses, so you don’t necessarily need a car.

People here are awesome. Ilona is always ready to help, even in the middle of the night. Very sweet person. If there is something wrong, tell magdy, he will take action right away. I had an awesome stay.

There was an additional 5% fee for paying with credit card which we didn't know about before. Not the fault of the hotel, but a culture shock for us was that they only flush human waste down the toilet, nothing, not even toilet paper is flushed, which is not something we are used to. But we also encountered that in other areas of Curaçao as well.

Great location, especially if you want to hang out at Mambo beach a lot. It's just a few minutes drive from the hotel. Cold AC, warm shower, comfortable beds, and nice papalapa for hanging out. They also have a pool, but unfortunately, we didn't get time to use it. There is limited parking available, but there is a parking lot right outside which we used when the lot was full. Note that you will need to walk with your own toiletries, but there are shops nearby where you can buy things. There is also a mini fridge, microwave, stove top, pots, utensils etc. if you wanted to make your own meals.
