We recently stayed at Royal See Curaçao with our extended family, booking three rooms, and overall we had a wonderful experience. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and very clean, and the view was absolutely spectacular — one of the best we’ve had in Curaçao. The location is also excellent, close to the beach and main attractions. The only part of our stay that left us disappointed was the check-out experience. Since our flight was later in the evening, we asked if we could have a late check-out for at least one of our rooms so we could shower and change after spending the day at the beach. We were told that wasn’t possible, but that the hotel could provide a space to change and shower instead. Unfortunately, this offer was later withdrawn by management, and we were told to use the small outdoor beach bathroom instead — not ideal for a large family. What made this more frustrating was that the manager mentioned there were available rooms until the next day, yet still refused to let us use one for just two extra hours, unless we paid for a full additional night. While we understand hotel policies, a bit more flexibility and customer care would have made a big difference. That being said, everything else about our stay was fantastic — the property, the views, and the overall atmosphere made for a great family vacation. With a little more consideration at check-out, this hotel would easily deserve a full five stars.

Property was clean, beach was beautiful with calm waters to swim/snorkel in! Views were amazing! Breakfast options like a continental breakfast would really set this place up even more!

We had a wonderful experience at The Royal Sea Aquarium. We couldn't make it to Curacao on the dates we were booked at the Sea Aquarium because our plane needed some maintenance and we missed our connection. The resort changed the dates for our stay( it was not refundable) and we were able to fly to Curaçao few weeks later and enjoy our vacation. We are forever grateful to the resort for helping us out and changing our reservation. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The resort is clean, well maintained. Rooms were very spacious, gorgeous, comfortable beds ,clean crisp linens and towels. Sunset view from resort is amazing. We had the one bedroom with ocean view it was lovely. Highly recommend if you are looking for a relaxing laid back stay with private beach, which by the way is absolutely stunning. Clean,quiet, gorgeous close to everything. We will be back.
