Arrival Experience: Two words: Paradise found. As guests filter into the open-air lobby, the rounded reception desk handles registration as guests sip a welcome cocktail in the soft sea breeze (and more consistently whirling ceiling fans). The retro look of the architecture hardly conveys the refreshed interiors of this popular resort. Panoramic elevators are not far from the desk helping guests to reach their rooms within minutes of stepping onto the property.
Dining: The hotel’s main lobby bar serves beer brewed at the hotel itself, and the buffet restaurant just beyond serves lavish spreads at all meals including popular local food and produce. Food is also served poolside and near the small stretch of private beach. The al fresco Italian eatery is especially popular with guests especially in the evening hours.
Accommodations: Refurbishments are making their way to every corner of the hotel bringing tiled foyers to guest rooms, stereo alarm clocks, cordless phones, flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and Hilton’s famous pillowtop bed draped in crisp striped linens and a plump duvet. Baths feature spacious vanities, Crabtree & Evelyn toiletries, robes, and slippers. Book a room on the top floor and enjoy access to the hotel’s Executive Lounge where breakfast and evening snacks are served. Arrive early to score a seat on the lounge’s balcony overlooking the water.
Conclusion: Curacao has many big names on the island, but Hilton clocks in as offering the best value and most affordable rates for Americans. In fact, Curacao attracts more European travelers than North Americans leaving brand names like the Hilton less crowded than other Caribbean islands. The large swimming pool, numerous watersport activities, and full-service spa make this one of the island’s best brand names.
