The Rif at Mangrove Beach Corendon Curacao All-Inclusive, Curio by Hilton
The staff weren’t really helpful. You had to really beg and ask for service a lot of the times same thing with room service. You literally had to tip big for them to come back the next day and even with them coming back the next day, you still need to ask them multiple times

Curacao Marriott Beach Resort
Clean room, everyone was so friendly, BEAUTIFUL view, sunset every night. Fun activities every day. Great snorkeling right there. Truly a relaxing paradise. Food is expensive and I think they could use some more vegan options, but besides that it was perfect!
