Curaçao Marriott Beach Resort & Emerald Casino

Frommer's Review

This is the most glamorous and most prominent hotel on the island, set beside the largest and most popular beach on Curaçao. It's 10 minutes from both the airport and Willemstad. The hotel is a cluster of three-story buildings whose distinctive shape and ocher color were adapted from traditional Dutch colonial architecture. The open-sided lobby was designed for optimum views of the beach and the hotel's many fountains. Scattered throughout the property are unusual, often monumental, artworks by local and international artists, and a collection of unfussy, overstuffed furniture.

Most of the colorful rooms have a view of the ocean and one king-size or two double beds, plus a spacious bathroom with a combination tub/shower.

Although never rising to any great imagination or flair, the food here is consistently good, with quality ingredients. There's also a big casino.

Facilities: 4 restaurants; 2 bars; outdoor pool; casino; 2 tennis courts; Jacuzzi; sauna; diving; jet skis; kayaks; sailing; snorkeling; water-skiing; children's programs; car rental; business center; room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility
