Hilton Curaçao Resort Review

Originally built in 1965, this former Sheraton is often credited with launching Curaçao's tourism boom. Today, it rises five floors above rocky bluffs that open onto a sandy beach. The large free-form pool and a location convenient to the center of town offset the lack of a wide swath of beach. Glass-enclosed elevators cling to the outside walls, offering a panoramic view as they whisk you to your room, each of which overlooks either the ocean or the garden. Outfitted in tropical colors, each guest room features traditional Caribbean colors, plush furnishings, carpeting, private balconies, and generously proportioned bathrooms.

The food isn't great, but it's varied -- everything from Italian trattoria favorites to fresh seafood. A social director organizes theme nights based on Mexican or Antillean food and dance music. There's a lively casino on-site.

Facilities: 2 restaurants; 2 bars; babysitting; casino; children's program and playground; 18-hole minigolf course; health club; outdoor pool; room service; smoke-free rooms; 2 tennis courts lit for night play; watersports; rooms for those w/limited mobility

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
