My husband and I needed to get away -- due to the mid-september weather in the Caribbean we decided on Curacao. Never visiting Curacao, we carefully reviewed all the Trip Advisor reports and the Fodor’s books; decided on Marriott Beach Resort & Emerald Casino. We had an amazing time - there is not one bad thing I can say about... More

My wife and I just stayed at the Marriott on Curacao and even though we wouldn't have gone with another hotel (except for the Renaissance) I'm glad to have stayed here. The Hilton was just down the street and looked much more run down. Although the Renaissance was in the middle of Willemstad and close to restaurants/shops, it didn't have... More

I vactioned to this property over the christmas and new year holidays on my honeymoon. Full disclosure, I am platinum elite and stayed on points with the All-Inclusive option. I was able to get a beach front room on the second floor all the way on the far side of the resort next to the dive shop. I have read... More

I really like the Marriott mainly because of the excellent snorkeling that you can do right off the beach. It is very convenient if you are traveling with someone that is not as active, because it is perfectly safe for me to snorkel alone while my mom is on the beach. The food is kind of overpriced, but it was... More

This is a gorgeous hotel resort located on a small yet incredibly picturesque island of Curcao. The hotel is well maintained and great for taking photos of the exterior/grounds. The beaches on the resort are amazing and the jacuzzi is nice. Service: The staff is friendly but always not prompt about following through on requests. Room service orders should be... More

Just came back from a week at this resort and had an enjoyable stay. The snorkeling off the beach was equal to anything we experienced on the island. Rooms were clean and a little dated, but not bad. Have to run out to the beach early in the morning if you wanted to get chairs under the shade huts (people... More

Pool is excellent. Rooms are OK, slightly out dated. Beds are confortable and great. Snorkeling is not the best off the private beach. We snorkeled in the northern part of the island and it was excellent. We experienced occasional drifts of strong smell from the oil refinery. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay. More

I really, really wanted to give this Marriott resort 5* but am going with 4 stars - the 4th star for the super helpful front desk staff (wish I could remember their names). Our family of 2 adults, 2 teens stayed for 5 nights over Christmas and the boys were looking forward to some resort action/entertainment after 5 'nothing to... More

We stayed here in early December 2011 and enjoyed. I was a bit concerned after reading the multiple reviews stating how dated the property is, but we found the property to be fine. It was a great deal at the off-season rates. The only caution I would give is that 'oceanview' really should be labeled 'partial ocean view'-- don't expect... More
