Extremely disappointed! Very clean facilities a definite plus. And the food was also delicious. However the staff seemed to ignore us. To the point of a dinner that took 3.5 hours with poor service by our wait staff, needing to wave our hand to get the servers attention to just refill waters. 45 min. to get appetizers and another 1...

We decided to stay at Avila based on the location of the hotel and the fact they have 2 real beaches. When we arrived at 4pm to check in the woman at the desk said our room wasn't ready yet. She said it would be about 10-15 minutes but we could check our luggage. Well 10 minutes, 1/2 hour, 1... More

Safe back home in Scandinavia I am wondering why we didn’t extended our holiday at Avila Beach Hotel where we have enjoyed endless hospitality, wonderful local food and relaxing moments at the beach. Wonderful sea-views from the well equipped rooms. I can recommend a good week stay at this hotel! My compliments to the staff. Best regards a relaxed guest More

My wife and I decided to try this historic property on our first trip to Curacao. We were definitely in the minority of English speaking guests, but we liked it that way. Avila appeals to the Dutch citizens, but why not join them for the "continental" effect? All staff members were attentive, but I did notice the restaurant service a... More

My partner and I celebrated our 20th anniversary/honeymoon at Avila with high hopes, which were quickly diminished when we walked into our ground floor double room, even though the reservation clearly stated upper king. Thanks to Alice, one of the managers, we managed to settle into room 290 (Blue Wing), two days after arriving. The room offers an amazing view,... More

Have spent 8 fantastic days at Avila Beach Hotel. From the early morning training in the super quality fitness center overlooking the ocean, the swimming from the 3 private beaches, the delicious breakfasts, the delightful lunches at the poolbar to the superb dinners in one of the seaside restaurants - this is indeed luxury as it should be.

Chose this hotel based on the number of solid reviews on this site. We got basically what we expected and the only disappointment was that in some of the restaurant and bar experiences within the hotel service was poor. It was odd seeing so many waitstaff standing around while we waited for our drink or food order. Oftentimes our order... More

I come to this hotel once in a while on business. I really enjoy my stay here since the renovations. Location is good, you can walk into Willemstad, some excellent restaurants very close by, and the setting is just beautifull. A big plus is that the rooms have a cable for internet, just plug in and the internet is up... More

My husband and I won a trip to Curacao, and had a 4-night stay at the Avila Hotel in early September 2011. Our room was in the Octagon wing, a "Preferred" very spacious room with balcony, ocean view and kitchenette. One day when it was very clear, we could see Venezuela from our room!!! Everything in our room seemed very... More
