Avila Beach Hotel

We loved the location of the hotel. It is not too close to the bustle of Pundi and the cruise port, but easy walking distance if you want to enjoy the restaurants and shops there. The hotel is not over-the-top luxurious if that is what you are looking for. But the rooms are very nice and large with balconies. Our room had a lovely view (411). The bathroom even had a bath tub which is a rare find these days! There are 2 beach areas with plenty of chairs and a beachside bar. The sunsets at the beach areas are amazing! The only issue we had was that the gym closed early one evening without notice therefore my husband missed his workout 🙄! The gentleman at the front desk kindly sent a bottle of Cava and fruit in return for the confusion. Very nice! Also, we did not think the breakfasts deserved the hype. Next time we will choose to eat breakfast somewhere else. We did not take any other meals there. There are a number of the best restaurants just across the street.

We stayed at the Avila for the most lovely 8 days. A terrific resort with terrific staff (Stephanie, Jennifer, Sheldon, Jesus, Abby - the whole team at the Schooner Bar! ). The breakfast buffet was great- best omelettes made to order. We loved the gym and workout area- great equipment. Enjoyed yoga classes and the beach circuit workout. Also available are Pilates, spinning, pool aerobics. The two beaches are great- the vibe all over is relaxing and elegant. Not for being g partiers which we loved. Awesome location with easy walking too terrific restaurants, in addition to the two restaurants on site. We walked to downtown several times. The Avila is also very clean and well maintained. In a word, we look forward to being back there!

We have never gone to the same resort twice, but we will likely go back to Avila Beach. We had an amazing stay there. We stayed in the adult-only blueswing part of the hotel. The view from our room was great, the bed was comfortable, and the room was well appointed. The 2 beaches on-site are fabulous and have some nice snorkeling. The restaurants very close to the resort (5-10 min walk) were amazing. The restaurants on-site were not as great but were convenient. I felt the service was on point. We had a couple of issues that were resolved quickly and without complaint. They also have a rental car company on-site so that was extremely convenient. The walk to downtown Willemstad was further but doable. Admittedly, this is not the cheapest way to visit Curacao, but the conveniences, location, and beaches at this resort will bring us back.

We stayed in the Blues wing with a lagoon and ocean view. It was awesome. Having our own private balcony right over the water listening to the waves. We did take advantage of a special dinner on the beach for my husband's bday as well as a couples massage.||We did the Bkues dinner on the beach. The chef made outstanding shrimp Tartar, lobster risotto and a mix of brownies ice cream and tiramusu for dessert. Christina our server was outstanding. The bartender (wish i had her name) made us a lovely unique drink. Well worth it for the experience.||We had a couples message by Vaynis and Naimonie. They did an amazing.job getting the knots out of my shoulder blade and my husband's hip. We walked away very relaxed amd rejuvenated.||This island and hotel will be our go to for future beach vacations. Lots more to explore on our next trip.

We had an incredible stay at the Avila Beach Hotel! From the moment we arrived (and were greeted with a delicious drink in the lobby!), we were impressed by the warm welcome and excellent service. ||||The 2 beaches were absolutely beautiful with great snorkeling, and we loved having easy access to shade, sunbeds, and fresh towels. ||||The restaurants were fantastic, offering great food and a relaxing atmosphere. We loved starting our day with the wonderful breakfast buffet and watching the sun set over the ocean from the Schooner bar. ||||We stayed in a La Belle Alliance Oceanfront room and it was stunning! We were only feet from the beach! ||||Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and professional.||||A special thank you to the amazing team members who made our stay even better:||- Jesus, Taisha, Marie, Galia, and Sheldon at the Schooner Bar were always welcoming and provided great service.||- Tysenne at Blues—wonderful hospitality! Thank you for the great chats!||- Julian and Rishainy at The Pen made our dining experiences special.||- RayMary at the Gift Shop was so helpful and kind.||- Abby at the Towel Hut was always friendly and made sure we had everything we needed on the beach.||||The entire staff made our vacation truly memorable, so we have already booked our return visit! Thank you, Avila, for such a fantastic experience - See you again soon!

We absolutely loved our week at Avila! The private beaches were so perfect for relaxing and swimming and snorkeling. The staff at the pool bar (shout out Sheldon and Rosalie) were great about checking in while we were lounging to see if we needed drinks or a bite to eat. Even with some cruise passengers getting day passes for the resort, it never felt crowded. We truly enjoyed walking around the charming resort property. Be aware, it’s not like a big all inclusive with tons of things going on all the team. More like a large boutique hotel, with a couple restaurant choices, live music on the beach, and a great, welcoming atmosphere. I hope to go back soon! Worth every penny.

First, I think this is one of the only hotels on the beach in Willemstad. The rooms were clean and a very comfortable king bed! Without knowing this before, it is close to so many great restaurants that we walked every night. So you save $$ on taxis. The staff is pleasant, friendly, and very accommodating. There are yoga, Pilates, and spin class all included.

A group of 8 of use were in two rooms - a two bedroom and a three bedroom beachfront apartment. The rooms were well appointed, but we were disappointed that with the full kitchen, we didn't have a starter set of paper towels and things like that. We couldn't hear anyone in any other rooms. The location of Avila is perfect - walkable to town and a to bunch of restaurants. The pool isn't big, but sufficient. There are two beaches and they never felt too busy/crowded. The grounds are lovely and the staff was kind and helpful. I highly recommend the Avila.
