The resort itself is very beautiful and the location is great, but it is an eco resort. So there is no blow dryer, no handsoap in the bathroom or kitchen, no hair conditioner, and ac only in the bedroom. The property is beautiful but come prepared.

Liked: Cleanliness
We were in the smallest room type for two at the back of the property. While it had the amenities as described, the room is very small even for two. The living room wall is louvered, so no A/C and easy for bugs to enter. We bought a citronella candle to help with this, but that was like blowing into the wind. The A/C is only in the bedroom, which is windowless. The beds are not comfortable as they easily split apart and the single mattresses slips easily off the frame. The bathroom sink was plugged and needed attention and the towels were very small. The pools were nice however work began on one with only a days notice. This forced all guests to the family pool if they didn’t want to listen to jackhammering. The staff are polite but I wouldn’t recommend this property as I clearly didn’t anticipate that eco resort would feel more like econo resort.

Eco focus family resort for a dream vacation!

This was our dream vacation. Curaçao is a Caribbean island paradise with white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and plenty of corals, tropical fish and sea turtles. Morena is located in the southern part of Curaçao near Jan Thiel Bay. It's premise is that of an eco resort, minimizing waste, built on simple architecture, simple materials and solid construction, luxurious without being excessive, all in all tasteful. the good: -we rented a 3-bedroom individual cabin, with comfortable beds in the sleeping rooms, a complete kitchen, and a spacious terrace for our meals -resort organization was top notch with friendly, attentive and diligent staff who attended to our (many) requests, great check-in/out experience -breakfast and restaurant had all essentials with great food preparation and quality, even accomodating to our dietary restrictions -gorgeous pool areas and the pool water is kept crystal and clean -rent a car at competitive rates and drive all around Curaçao (a must to visit the great beaches!) the bad: -Mosquito issue (which may be seasonal). We arrived at night and because the cabin lights were on, there were a ton of mosquitos inside. Thus mosquito bed nets and repellent are a must. You learn to always close the bedroom doors -Cabin design is such that the living room cannot be used at night because there isn't a simple mesh to block insects from following the light inside at night the ugly: -really nothing to complain about, this a resort that we do recommend!

Apartment was not ‘surprisingly cool’ as stated on website. No air conditioning in living area/kitchen making that area quite warm and uncomfortable particularly when doors are closed at night, of which only half is doors, the rest is shutters allowing bugs and humidity in. Toilet room had a slight sewage odour to it, with an inefficient fan, and hence no air circulation. I don’t mind housekeeping every 3 days, but how about some decent size shower towels. And no soap provided in the toilet room to wash hands? Seems like another opportunity to be eco-friendly. No mention on website of accessibility issues, like steps within the restaurant. Stayed one night and left without any refunds.

I really wanted to like this place, and it could be so good if they would change a few things. I will say, the front desk girls were so wonderful and nice. I will also say we read so many reviews of different places to stay, and it just doesn’t seem like anywhere in Curaçao is super nice and clean. First, the air conditioning. It was fine that the air conditioner is only in the bedroom, but the kitchen is NOT closed off, which makes absolutely no sense. The wall with the window shades is open to the outside. So, instead of having it closed off and not allowing the humidity and bugs to come in, it is open to the outside. You have to keep the bedroom door shut at all times unless you want the humidity and bugs coming in. The mosquitos will get you either way, but didn’t appreciate getting bit in a kitchen that should have been closed off. We also had tiny tiny bugs ALL OVER the kitchen counter. We made the mistake of putting groceries on the counter and the bugs got inside all of it, so we had to throw away everything. The “king bed” is absolutely not a king bed. It’s two twins pushed together, and you don’t even have a topper that connects them. So phones will fall into the crack and you’ll have separate bedding for each twin bed. There is no hand soap provided for the bathrooms, also odd? Your towels provided for showering are more like two hand towels sewn together. And the shower, you have a button, and water runs for 20 seconds at a time. Not great

Excellent service convenient but smoking not cool

What I loved most was the service and the friendly staff/ my flight was really delayed ( 22 hours) and when I arrived there was a wonderful handwritten card in our room from the staff. Also , they let us check out at 3 pm when we left because of it. So grateful. The property is beautiful and conveniently located. I was also able to rent a car right at the hotel, Pools are beautiful, food fabulous, beach a short walk away. Yet I don’t think I’ll stay here again mostly because our apartment even though it was comfortable was very dark and the bedroom had no ventilation. A weird design flaw , especially on Curacao where you can build with the wind in mind. The reason I can’t come back though was that on the porch all my neighbors smoked and there was no way to escape their smoking or talking... why you allow smoking in an Eco resort is beyond me. So if you don’t mind people smoking and you don’t mind a dark but beautiful apartment, ( the ground floor for sure) this is a good choice.

Very disappointing

Resort lookes nice, the pool’s are great! We did not try the restaurants but we heard they were fine. We stayed at an (2br) appartement, which was super dark, moist and equipped with not even the bare minimum (only four knives for four persons). The appartements are really close to each other, we were in the smoke of our neighbors the whole week. Ally next to our appartement smelled like urine, which was bothering us even on our terrace, nothing was done after reporting it. Every 3 days you get cleaning but the towel are dirty and they don’t refill anything. Staff races around in golf carts in front of your house the whole day. Front office isn’t helpful with the complaints. Car park is full if you arrive late. Our advice is to look elsewhere (the 3 resorts closer to the beach)

Relaxing holidays

The facilities are quite nice it is surrounded by nature so get ready to have a lot of birds visiting your terrace. If you are looking for partying this is not a place to stay it is full of family and it quite close to the ocean and you get free passes to access the ocean. I stayed in one of the bungalows and it has a large terrace space outside. The downside is that my room had a terrible smell but besides that it was a pleasant stay.
