Frommer's Review
Although this hotel was built in 1965, it has a new lease on life following renovations and improvements when the people from Hilton took it over. Today, it rises five floors above the northern perimeter of Willemstad, amid rocky bluffs. Glass-enclosed elevators cling to the outside walls of the hotel, offering a panoramic view as you're whisked to your room. Each of the midsize accommodations has a view of either the ocean or the garden. Outfitted in pastel colors, the rooms contain traditional furnishings, private balconies, and generously proportioned bathrooms with tubs and showers. Rooms on the executive floor are somewhat better furnished and offer amenities like fax machines. The hotel opens onto two private sandy beaches.
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 casino on-site.
