Sandals Royal Curacao

Beautiful resort that is very well maintained by a very pleasant staff. Room was always clean when we returned with fresh towels and mini bar stocked. Restaurant service was good with the exception being trying to get hot tea at breakfast, always a long delay. Pools were perfect temperature with plenty of room to relax. Cabana near the quiet pool was nice with good food and drink service. Used the pickleball courts which include a nice hike to reach the courts. Equipment was checked out at Spa, which we found out after our first hike to the courts. A pub would be a nice addition to the resort, and we were surprised the food trucks were not near the beach. Would definitely return to Sandals Royal Curacao

My husband and I recently visited Sandals Royal Curacao where we had a great time for the most part. Curacao was one of the most beautiful Islands we have been to and the resort was modern and clean. Before my review below, I need to mention an incident that happened on our last night that I think is important for people who are considering traveling to this property and / or have already booked a stay that is upcoming. There was an Entertainment Staff member named BREEZY who made our last night incredibly UNCOMFORTABLE and asked us for several drinks and even cash straight up. I reported this to management and advised them I would be writing a review specifically mentioning this incident as it was very concerning that he was not only asking us for this but we spoke to several other couples who mentioned that they had been asked the same thing. I know some people may be thinking “what is $20/$30 dollars?” - which is the amount he mentioned during the ask - as someone from NYC I can assure you that not even a homeless person on the street would have the audacity to ask for $20 and they are homeless, not employees at a 5 star resort, but anyways, I digress. The issue I have and what I stressed to management is that he knew my Husband was drinking and in a vulnerable state when he approached him for the money. This feels really sleazy and shady for a number of reasons but I will list the main ones below. 1. BREEZY was seeing my husband drinking and waited until after they took ~3 shots together to ask him for money - The drink requests started at the show on the beach and continued up to the lobby bar when he saw us again - he continuously asked us to get him drinks from the bar while he was working and let me say this was already inappropriate and making us uncomfortable but my husband is a nice guy and did it 2. BREEZY had asked multiple men who were drunk at the bar for money and was very comfortable in doing what he was doing which tells me that this was not the first time and would not be the last time. Anyone who waits around the bar to try and take advantage of someone who is drinking is a PREDATOR. No other way to put it and this guy is a liability. Luckily I was not drinking and was able to get my husband away from him shortly after he told me that BREEZY asked him for cash. This left a bad taste in our mouth for the property which we had thoroughly enjoyed and been considering returning to up until this interaction. If this happens to anyone else, please say something! I feel frustrated that someone else did not report him before (or maybe they did and management did nothing) and that we had to have this unfortunate run in with sleazy BREEZY. To drive my issue home, as a female who works hard and wants to be able to relax and let loose on vacation, this was the first time I felt truly grossed out and unsafe at a Sandals property. The behavior is the problem and the feeling of thinking someone was trying to take advantage of a cl

This is the first review I am writing, but I was so impressed by Sandals Curaçao, it feels necessary. Overall the visit was wonderful! Best part was food and entertainment team! The omelet station at Pietra was the perfect way to start the day! Really wish I would have noted the omelet chef’s name but her omelet skills were top notch! Was so sad when she told us she had the last day of our trip off. She spoiled us lol being there M-F for us! The food trucks were delicious and Butch’s is a must! Definitely easily competed with top NY steakhouses. I cannot say enough though about the entertainment team! Elvis, Pencil, Leon and Dylan kept a smile on our faces all week and made us feel like family. Plus enjoyed that the pool games were played for just the right amount of time … enough to keep you entertained, but not to become annoying or feel intrusive. The Loyalty Club team also was top notch. Christopher and Biorn were quick, knowledgeable and beyond gracious. Only complaint would be the front desk. For some reason the front desk team members were not as helpful or attentive. At one point there were 4 front desk team members helping the same person instead of dividing and conquering the line that was building, but thank goodness you really don’t have to deal with the front desk team much. Since we wanted to extend our trip we had to go to the front desk a few additional times which wasn’t the best at first, but Rasheed came out from the back and managed as you would hope a competent manager would so kudos and thank you Rasheed! But with that said, if you are considering a visit, I would definitely say do yourself a favor and go!
