Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Jan Thiel

The property had so many places to visit/relax/escape to, and while it was so large, it appeared to be small. I didn't like to overlapping music; and it would be nice to have had no music playing in some locations. The swim up pool was a bit murky,

Room was spacious and loved our swim up- however wish it connected to the large pool. Food was great- always fresh. Very self service than usual all inclusive resorts.

My best decision was booking the room with private pool (shared with 4 other rooms). It was worth the extra money It is a nice location and it was an enjoyable stay I was disappointed in the food. The buffet and the specialty restaurants. It was all very mediocre.

The beauty of this hotel and it's location the swim up room and food and drinks available all day all night and the coffee Cafe. There is so much about this hotel that I liked ❤️ Will defenetly return for a family vacation and make use of the Waterpark and all the many places and activities this hotel offers ❤️

I felt safe and at ease on property and it was an easy walk to town. I booked one of the swim up adult only rooms and there was a child there everyday (kids will be kids so there was some noise, I did report to front desk however it continued)…ordered room service (still waiting for my order and trip has been complete for several weeks now)…I had a nice time despite the hiccups and would book again due to safety, cleanliness and overall appearance.

Almost new hotel, not too busy, neither noisy. Great room, cosy and neat. Good bed and great bathroom and shower, well use of light. Decent breakfast buffet, fantastic pool with poolbar. Nice and helpfull staff.

The property was very nice and we really enjoyed our stay. The staff was great and breakfast was awesome with many choices. We loved the pool but pool bar needed some supplies. We wanted a pina collada and they were unable to accommodate us. We had a bloody Mary but they again didn't have the ingredients to make unless someone went to inside bar to retrieve. We do wish the room had a refrigerator and not a cooler but we made it work. The shower was awesome...they do use the sun to heat the water so it was never hot but definitely comfortable The room was nice and we would definitely return.

This was a newer property. It was extremely clean! I was comfortable in my room. The staff was very nice. Dotti was personable and called me by my first name. The breakfast was good. I had eggs, bacon, sausage, bread, fruit, deli meats 7 cheeses daily and it was included in my room price. This hotel was walking distance of the floating bridge. I stopped at Plaza Bieu for some local food... which was inexpensive and delicious. The hotel was very close to shopping and 15 minutes from the airport. The airport shuttle was about $35. The pool was beautiful and you can see the beach from the hotel. I only had 2 issues. There were ants in the room (as I read in a previous review). They were on the counter where I had my snacks and juice. So, I everything in the fridge. The next day I saw an ant in the fridge. I found about 4-5 ants in my bed. It was only a small handful of ants, so it didn't ruin my view of this wonderful hotel. However, on my last day there were these NASTY red juicy worms crawling around the room. I saw a few in the hallway and a few in my room. Now THAT grossed me out!!! I am very glad I did not see them until the last day. This stay was extremely comfortable until the worms. Hopefully they can get that under control.

The place was so clean, and the room spacious. The view from the balacony was amazing, everyday we seen the different cruise ships docks. The bed was so dreamy and comfy. The pool was clean and large and they also offer food(you pay seperately). The Renaissance plaza is a 8 minute walk wuth shops and food.The cons- Dining is very limited. I wish there were more dining options. They do state breakfast is not included but you can purchase breakfast. We did once and the breakfast was mediocre.

Amazing staff and great location to walk into town. Joanna and the housekeeping manager was very nice! Shaquille in the pool bar was very nice and helpful. I love everything about the hotel and visit in Curacao! I’ll definitely be back to visit ❤️great area to walk to places

Communication is a bit weird. They aren't part of the resort per se, Read your welcome email thoroughly, then read it again. Once you get settled in tho, It's fantastic. The resort (you will receive pass cards for free admittance thru security & the beach), has a private beach, great security, three restaurants/bar, a dive shop (the folks whom we know know by first names) all a few minute walk. The scuba is great, and they have a boat to charter as well...all on the property. Blue Bay is the premier place to be on the island. The entire island speaks English, drives on the right (kinda like go-carts tho), and take dollars. The locals are very nice.

We stayed at a Blue Bay one bedroom apartment for the first two weeks in Feb 2018, and we have nothing but positive feedback to give. The Holiday Property management group was great to deal with, and provided everything we needed and more! The resort specifically is in a great location, with a beautiful private beach which is never crowded. We enjoyed our stay at Blue Bay, and Curacao in general. We will definitely keep coming back to this paradise!

It was a beautiful apartement with almost everything you need. Why almost, because you don't have a dryer machine (electricity is very expensive) but you have a rack where you can dry your stock. Very quiet place with an elevator that is very useful when you have to bring your lugage at the second or third floor. I would recommend that place anytime. Thanks to the people who took care of us.

Experiência incrível, o apartamento era ótimo, espaçoso e com todos os itens necessários. Fiquei 7 dias no país e só tenho elogios. O atendimento no complexo é excelente, assim como a localização que por ser no centro da ilha permite se locomover com facilidade. Outra vantagem importante é poder utilizar a praia do resort sem custo que é uma das melhores da ilha.

Wonderful penthouse unit, plenty of space, including outside patio and balconies, great views, all necessities provided. Great master bedroom, true king size bed. Walk in closets, private bathrooms and walk in closets in all rooms. Blue Bay beach is right there, still recommend a rental car for more Curacao. Daily service is not included, but we did not need it.

Very unique experience. The Villa is situated right next to a natural area so you have the sense of being totally immersed in the island. Each room of your villa is separate from each other and on separate levels. That means to move from living area to bedroom to toilet you must go outside hat area to another level. This includes the need to climb stairs from one level to the next. The pool area beautiful. Those who are have difficulties with stairs or will not be able to negotiate this villa.

Bohemi Villas were a wonderful choice for our family vacation. Our villa was modern and comfortable. The staff was very easy to work with and communicated well before and during our stay. It’s a lovely combination action of eco-friendly resort and utilitarian elegance. Be aware this is not a “full service hotel”, you will need to purchase items such as coffee and extra bath tissue for use during your stay. Daily maid service is not included and there is a cleaning fee upon departure. The villa does have a well equipped open air kitchen for food preparation. The property is well situated on the island for access to restaurants and shops, but it does require a car. The property is situated in an authentic Curacaoian residential neighborhood. You should be comfortable with that before booking. It was exactly what we wanted, very safe, and a unique island experience.

Forrygende villa til 6 personer. Køkken/stue-huset var virkelig velfungerende og velindrettet til 6 personer. Gode udeområder hvor vi grillede et par gange. Stor service fra Danielle

Out of the way if you are looking for tranquility. Make sure you rent a car.

Leuk verblijf gehad. Mooie kamers en goed ontvangst. Sfeer is ontspannen en alles is netjes geregeld. Echt een aanrader.

More than cozy!!! Kiki and Mario were so kind and helpful. Mollie is Awesomeness personified…

Nice vieuw! Very clean! Host Dennis Bruin a very friendly person.

Everything was amazing. This place is worth every penny. The staff at reception were very kind and generous. Kudos and high five to chelsea whose smile and warm greetings every single time made a huge difference. The location in willemstad was perfect. Everything was within a walking distance. The restaurants are good. You have clean towels for the swimming pool and the beach any time you want. The view from the roof with the swimming pool is breathtaking. I highly recommend this place.

The hotel was great! It is located in the heart of Punda and close to many things and very walkable. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and the beds are absolutely amazing! The shower is also very big and nice. Another great figure is that they give you unlimted bottles of water. I had a great stay at Elements. The only thing I didn't like was that the pool is very small and the water did not look clear. There also are no lounge chairs to lay on. They have to big beds, but the cushions were all flat, black and very dirty. It's a shame because they have beautiful big rooftop, but have put nothing into the pool area.

Exceptional Stay at Element Hotel, Willemstad. My recent stay at the Element Hotel in Willemstad, Curaçao, was absolutely fantastic. The hotel offers excellent value for the price, with rooms that are stylish and comfortable. My room was immaculate, with modern amenities and an incredibly comfortable bed—perfect for a good night's rest after a day of exploring. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Willemstad, making it easy to explore the city’s historic sites and vibrant neighborhoods. The rooftop infinity pool and on-site dining, especially at Cascada with its stunning views, were definite highlights. What truly made the stay memorable was the friendly and attentive staff who went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect. In short, Element Hotel is a top-notch choice for anyone visiting Curaçao. I’ll definitely be returning!

My girlfriend and I made our first trip to Curacao this past December. We stayed at Elements and had a fantastic time. It's a newer hotel and our room was comfortably and roomy. The rooftop pool, bar and restaurant were great and the staff, from the desk clerks to the bartenders, were gracious and very hospitable. We also had the fortune to meet the hotel's owner, Karan, abd his father, both very bright, worldly, and engaging men. Elements is located right in the heart of the Willemstad Punda neighborhood; the original Dutch settlement on the island. It was all a wonderful pleasure.

"It was our first encounter with Curaçao, so we were on the lookout for the perfect location and base to explore the island. I can immediately say that Blue Bay Beach Resort was, in many ways, the perfect choice for us. We stayed for 2 weeks in one of the beautifully decorated and tidy Xanadu apartments with a view of a private pool, a spacious balcony, and private parking. The location is ideal, just a 4-minute walk from the private beach. The entire crew is friendly and welcoming, but it's the warm personality of owner 'Ravi' that captivated us from the personal welcome. The man has a natural flair for connecting his guests - a delightful mix that spontaneously led to some 'magical' happy hours by the pool. Thank you, Ravi, for this highly appreciated personal touch! Roger & Hilde

Xanadu is a great development with 12 apartments, and a shared pool and sun area. The apartments and facilities are spotless, and well maintained (and new as of 2021). We seriously had to choose between the beach and the pool! Ravi and his team are super friendly and helpful and made us feel at home. Xanadu is part of the Blue Bay resort, and by staying there you also get access to the semi-private beach area, including chairs and umbrellas.

Excellent appartement, nicely located at Blue Bay Golf & Beach resort. The new apartments are modern, comfortable and include all relevant facilities. A pool and poolbar are available at your doorstep. Also, the Xanadu appartments are perfectly located for visiting various activities at Curaçao. Finally, Xanadu has the best host/owner we met in our many years of traveling.

We had a very nice stay at Xanadu apartments at Blue Bay. The apartments are very spacious and have a modern design. In fact the entire premises is just a few years old and are being maintained very carefully. The owner, Ravi, is a true host and is very interested in the guests, making sure that you feel comfortable and that everything is okay. There is a nice clean swimming pool with enough sun beds. It has a great central location as it is from there easy to drive to the nice beaches, such as Porto Marie and Cas Abao, but also further to Westpunt. It’s also a short drive to Willemstad and Mambo beach. Blue Bay itself also has a nice beach and various restaurants. We stayed there for one week with 2 adults and 2 kids and I would definitely recommend to stay at Xanadu!

It was beautifully arranged between the 3 buildings, pool and bar area as well as the individual apartments. The owner Ravi was really great, he stayed late to check us in due to our late flight where he stayed and chatted with us and told us about the area and he even took my husband to pick up something to eat since we arrived so late in the evening. On Saturday, he hosted a cocktail get-together with everyone staying at Xanadu. It was great to meet so many wonderful people. I found that Ravi loves to take photos of the groups that stay there and he’s really good at it as well. Ravi really creates a warm and welcoming feel to everyone’s stay!
