Plaza Hotel Curaçao Review

Standing guard over the Punda side of Saint Anna Bay, right in the heart of Willemstad, the 14-story Plaza is nestled in the ramparts of an 18th-century waterside fort on the eastern tip of the harbor entrance. As one of the harbor's two "lighthouses," the hotel has to carry marine collision insurance -- it's the only hotel in the Caribbean with that distinction. The original part of the hotel was built in 1954, and retains a 1950s look with a quirky lobby complete with a fishpond, enormous rotating ceiling fans, and an open-air terrace next to the small pool. There's also a tower of rooms stacked 15 stories high. Each of the smallish bedrooms is comfortably furnished and contains a small tub/shower combo. The pool, with a bar and sun-tanning area, is inches away from the parapet of the fort. The Waterfort Restaurant serves standard American and Continental dishes.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; 3 bars; casino; outdoor pool; room service; smoke-free rooms; 1 room 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.
