The Royal Sea Aquarium Resort

This was our first time in Curacao and it couldn't have been more amazing!! The beautiful views and grounds here exceeded our expectations! Our two bedroom villa was perfect for our family of 5. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again!!

I had a wonderful stay for 9 nights in a junior suite. It was a very quiet resort and the facilities were terrific. The beach and pool were wonderful and everyone at the front desk were very helpful. I used the supermarket shuttle twice and made use of the shuttle into town. The restaurant on the property was terrific too with a great server called Alejandro. I would definitely come back again but this time stay in a villa so I had a balcony option. Thank you to the sub manager Alejandra for showing me an upgraded villa today for next time!

Check in/out was easy. All staff is amazing, polite, helpful, friendly. Hotel is clean. Aquarium is next door. Breakfast is included and there are delicious options with a good portions. The beach has chairs. The water goes very deep right away so not great for very little kids or those who don’t swim at all, will need a life jacket. Great pool area. Hotel does offer some free stuff to borrow, we borrowed a pool noodle. There is a free shuttle to a grocery story (min 4 ppl had to sign up), shuttles to downtown. Mambo beach is 5-8 min walk. Overall we enjoyed the hotel. It was clean and quiet.

We were lucky to visit several places, and always noted we were happy we stayed where we did!! The condo-style accommodations were perfect for our family. We overlooked the dolphin swim area and we're treated to lots of dolphin play! The terrace is huge! The private beach was awesome - actually private and never crowded. Snorkeling was great to see a lot of fish and marine life! Everything I read about the property didn't helpfully describe how close a lot of things are. There is only one restaurant on property - Ola's - but it has a lot of options and was delicious. Lions dive resort was literally a 3 minute walk and lots of options and a 5 minute walk to Mambo Beach with all kinds of options. One night we drove toward Jan Thiel Beach and ate at Tabooshh which was fantastic. Jan Thiel beach is a 10-12 min drive; and the town is a 10-min drive (the driving is not for the weak; and I suggest reviewing street signs ahead of going!) do yourself a favor though and rent a car! While the driving was a little aggressive and roads twisty, it made getting around so much easier and we were able to see much of the beautiful island. I would definitely stay here again.

We loved being next to the aquarium and being able to go back to the room. it was very convenient for our 1.5-year-old. the kiddie pool was all hers too. Everyone on staff was helpful and friendly. there is a restaurant next door and the happy hour bar. We loved our stay and our room. our room was huge and very spacious! everything was clean and on hand. defiantly would stay here again.

Very helpful staff great place for families

Very nice hotel, very friendly service staff and great access to a quiet beach. An ideal spot for a family vacation.

I stayed at the Sea Aquarium for four days, it was really relaxing. You can just stay all day by the beach or the pool, and the shuttle service is awesome you don't have to spend extra money in taxi rides. The staff was always helpful and kind, I would recommend this hotel for family vacations or if you just want to go to relax and get tanned.

This is a nice, quiet and comfortable property. It is also safe. Being next door to the see aquarium was so wonderful! We must have went there over half a dozen times. We had a two bed two bath villa and it was so roomy for our family of five, although the bedding should be updated as bedspreads are out of fashion and notorious for their various bodily fluids! Also having three flat panel tv's was a bonus but the lack of channels was a let down. This location is for people who like a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

We mistakenly thought this condo had a beach--you know, waves and such. There was a small beach, but it was more like one you'd find on a lake. Great for little kids, snorkeling, etc., but not the fun of crashing waves. The hotel was actually a "condo," and there was a difference whether or not you were a 'member.' Also you were limited to about 6 decent places to eat around it. When you wanted to go somewhere else, you had to take a taxi or the shuttle--which ran at their convenience. I would not stay here again because of the distance to the punda. It is far away from many things you would want to do if you were close to town. They say they are not a hotel, but a not profit resort. I saw torn couch cushions and frayed linens. If you are not a 'Saturday to Saturday' guest, you probably will have to pack and move on Saturday morning. We often didn't not receive some of the linens, like washcloths--they were 'out.'
