Excellent layout and amenities. Great location. Was not on the beach but a 10 min walk. The beds were firm, pillows a little too hard, could have used more bath towels. Only comforter was in queen room. Didnt have a dryer but did have a washer. Would have liked a blowdryer and a coffee pot or a french press. LOVED the veranda and the view. It was well equipped. Was hard to get a hold of property management and find the actual property but we had all the tools to stay in and cook and clean up. Drive to restaurants was 12-16 min. Grocery store down the street. 3 restaurants we could walk to. Overall loved the stay and would use again. Very affordable and comfortable.

Disliked: Amenities
The unit and the balcony are spacious. The Wi-Fi is moderately good but the TV in the living area is depends on Internet and it flickers so TV is hard to watch. The covers of the sofas and beds are old and in bad condition. The TVs on both rooms do not have access to cable or local TV channels. The instructions to find the unit were hard to follow. The cleaning lady went once and it was superficial. We only had 1 beach access card so the other 3 had to pay every day to access the beach. Entry gate personnel was not informed of our reservation and it took some time the first day to get into the property.

Hi Juan,Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that your stay was not what you expected to be. We will check the covers of the sofas and beds. I asked the property management about your stay and she informed me that you received the 4 beachpasses, is this correct ? It is of course not the intention that you pay for the beach if this is included. For the next time please contact property management or us to inform us about these things so we can help you, this is also for the TV if we had known this we could have fixed this for you.Once again I am sorry for the inconvience. Kind regards,Liselot

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.

Wonderful place to stay in Curaçao
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.

Dear marchena, Thanks for your review. We are sorry to hear that there were some inconveniences. We will check your points of attention with the property manager on the site. On this moment we don't know if you informed them but lights can be fixed easily and if it was not clean enough we also could arrange that for you right away. We will take this with us. Again thanks for your review.

Oh My Goodness was it great
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.

Went down to Curacao for a wedding in the family. We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Bay apartments even though we did not spend much time at the place other than to sleep at night and shower in the morning. Nice well equipped furnished apartment with a great balcony and view.

Great Value
We we've been staying at Blue Bay appartaments for the last 5 years. Great Value! But no luxuries. We prefer 2 bedroom appartament since I snore. We get a 2 bedroom appartament for a price that is hard to beat. The appartament is fully appointed; full kitchen with everything; a lot (really a lot) of space, 2 full bathrooms. Excellent view form a very spacious balcony! Easy 5min walk to the beach; all private area, it's uphill on a way back, you can drive if you want. Beach is gorgeous; sometimes gets crowded when they get cruise people in, but typically everyone gets a spot under their personal palm tree. You're advised to visit other Curacao beaches, but you don't have to, you can stay at Blue Bay all your time on the island. Clean! No luxuries part: 1. Beds - mattresses are firm;kind of outdated. If the owners did one thing - updated mattresses - I'd be very happy. Livable as-is, just a pity this easy and inexpensive update is overlooked; 2. Bed pillows - shamefully basic.Easy upgrade, overlooked by owners 3. We had to buy some of the kitchen chemicals and extras like towels etc - now that these are really apartaments (not a part of a hotel operation like it used to be - no one does this for you anymere), but this is not a big deal. 4. No cleaning service; OK for a week stay, perhaps negotiate if you stay longer.

Holiday Property Management!
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!

Dear Emma, We are sorry to hear that it did not meet your expectations despite the fact that it is indicated in advance that an interim cleaning is included with a stay longer than 9 nights. If you had wanted an interim cleaning you could arrange this on the spot with the property manager. The price is structured in such a way that we give guests the choice for an interim cleaning. The prices are therefore considerably lower than when a daily cleaning is included. Regards, Nynke Akkerman

Nicht noch einmal
In 14 Tagen wurde das Appartment nur einmal gereinigt. Auf Anfarge wurde mir gesagt das extra Reinigungen nur gegen Bezahlung ausgführt werden. Bei dem Preis ein absolutes No go. Preis Leistung unterirdisch. Ansonsten durchschnittlich. Vor 2 Jahren wurde das Appartement noch täglich gereinigt.

Dear Peter, Thanks for you review. The situation on Blue Bay is indeed changed. The hotel doesn't offer the apartments anymore. The rental prices a night are lower now and guest have the option to book an extra interim cleaning. Washing machines are added to the inventory which most guest really appreciate. I hope you understand why there is standard a weekly interim cleaning if you stay longer then 9 days but if you want more ofcourse we offer that service due extra costs.
