Top hotels in Colon
Mustique Suites Curacao
Staff/ owner very nice and accommodating and helpful. We are so very grateful for his tips and assistance. He even helped us find a nice rental car at an affordable rate, when we struggled over a month to find one ourselves! Descent stay for the price you pay. Space was secure.

Mangrove Beach Corendon Curacao All-Inclusive Resort, Curio by Hilton
Curacao Marriott Beach Resort
We loved the views and the room. I especially liked the bathroom/closet set up- made it very convenient to have the closet in the bathroom. Only negative was we were located at the end of the hotel next to a public park, I believe. There was often activity and loud thumping music at night.

Renaissance Wind Creek Curacao Resort
We had a fantastic stay. The property is in close proximity to all the action in Willemstad. The staff was beyond friendly and helpful. The courtyard at Rif Fort is a stone's throw away, as is the Queen Emma bridge connecting Otrobanda and Punda. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay at the Kontiki. The staff was kind and helpful. We stayed in a superior room which had plenty of space and a nice balcony looking out at a pool. The beach had comfortable chaise and the ocean was a beautiful teal blue. I highly recommend staying here.
