Very good

They are renovating and changed our reservation without advance notice.
The windows would not close all the way letting in mosquitoes and one of our rooms had roaches. Went to front desk and they just handed us roach spray. It did not seem like they cared.
I'm American and got my own room. The place was fairly empty (in early December), so not too much interaction with others (for better or worse). The building is old but everything is clean and in great working order. Great water pressure in showers, really clean bathrooms and kitchen, AC worked great (you'll need it), and parking was easy. Security at the gate is no hassle for walking or driving in or out. Front desk was friendly and helpful when I left my key in my room. You can walk to the main part of town in 12 minutes or across the bridge in 20. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
For me, the location was the priority. the facilities again for me since I was out every day from sunup to late in the evening was again excellent. And above all very safe and secure. Overall, there was nothing I did not like. Since I have to go back there in January I will want to stay at the same plce.
Good vibes. Reasonable priced. Friendliness of staff their advise and suggestions was clear and very helpful. Thankful for the accommodation and support during the stay.
The staff is so incredibly kind! I love that there are multiple pool options, only thing I’d change is the Continental breakfast: it’s literally just a peanut butter and jelly sandwich lol but the stay here was great
I had a really good time at the hostel. The people that working over there are really nice and are in for a conversation as well. The pool and bar is great!

Many kind people on the property to greet me and help with any questions. I came at a very quiet time which (late June) which I appreciated—practically didn’t see any other people.
The property could use some maintenance and extra cleaning in areas, and jacuzzi did not heat up.
Great location to accessing downtown Willemstad. Overall cleanliness of the room was excellent. Access to the Ritz beach pool was a huge plus!
Nice property very quite and relaxing... I think in they need to stare that you're getting continental breakfast instead of saying breakfast included..
The pool is very clean and relaxing, staff are friendly and professional..
The hostel is very nice and it's good that you can use the facilities of the hotel, like the pool and the bar. There is security in the property 24/7 which made me feel very safe. The GM Fazl is a very approachable guy and made everything possible to make my stay very comfortable.

Basic
The hostel is basic and could use a bit of upgrading. Great value for the price. Didnt expect comfort.
Pros: they accomodate late checkin and have car parking
Cons: bathrooms and beds are but outdated.
Like: friendly staff, clean, great location, interesting history of being a former ice cream factory. Not like: inconvenient shower facilities (no place to put clothes and undress or dress in shower area). Breakfast is overpriced.
I really enjoyed the fact that you can use the hotel amenities while staying at the hostel , but the bathrooms need work , there’s no ventilation in the bathrooms.

I liked the set up very much. It was a gated private road with all different types of rooms and a hostel. Parking on site. A rental car place, a market a bar and place to eat. The drinks however were quite expensive, that is my only complaint, as well as the two hot tubs they have are not hot they are colder than the pool, why I do not know. But the staff is great in every way. They will help you with anything from hotel to excursions.
The hostel has a jacuzzi and is in a great downtown location with free parking. The staff was absolutely fabulous and I would go back just to chat with them! So glad I found this place!!
