Expensive Tourist Trap
Feb 2020
If staying close by, I'm sure its great.
We went to check out for the day. With Curacao having so many gorgeous turquoise water beaches along the coast, I would recommend them over this.
Chairs are so crammed together, as a family of 4 it cost $20 US just to get in and have 2 chairs. The restaurants are also higher priced then others on the island.

Man made beach & shopping
Feb 2023 • Friends
Very touristy area on a man made stretch of beach. This is like an outdoor mall with shops and restaurants where you can combine beach time with shopping. Free parking is available. The beach clubs offer chairs and cabanas for rent. I would recommend a stop here but if you're limited on time, definitely check out some of the natural beaches.

Creative Candle & Gift Decoration
Dec 2022 • Couples
Lovely shops but a must-visit is Creative Candle & Gift Decoration. If you're looking for a memorable, unique and classy piece to remember Curacao that does not scream souvenir, this is the place. A family of talented artists, timeless candle pieces, driftwood with unusual artwork, plant pots made of candle. All the pieces incorporate natural elements like coffee beans, anise, Cinnamon bark. The service is impeccable, the artists themselves. Prices are reasonable. Go have a look, you won't be able to resist!

Expensive, busy, loud, did not like
Apr 2022 • Couples
Saturday 16th April and we walked the 500 metres, approximately, from our Hotel, Sunscape Curaçao to visit this beachfront area.

The Boulevard is lined with numerous bars, restaurants and rather expensive outlets.

It was definitely built and designed with mass tourism in mind which is reflected in the prices charged.

Going down the steps from the top level onto the beachfront, where there was a charge to go on the beach, Adults $3.50 and children $2.50. Sunbeds etc ranged from around €5 to €20 depending on the type of lounger.

It was lined with bars with loud music and sunbeds were tightly packed together.

Got the impression was to squeeze as many in as possible and charge high prices.

There was no charge to walk around the Boulevard.

Food Court!
Apr 2023 • Couples
Mambo is a horrible joke played on all tourists. All the “food court options” portray themselves as individual restaurants. That is the furthest thing from the truth. All of the food courts options are listed on one menu…..hmmm. Then you have the predatorial behavior from the waiting staff that can only be compared to that of a used car salesman. Then you have smoking. If you like hanging out in places that mimic at Tampa Bay dive bar, then this is your place. Then you have the food, if you can call it that. Absolutely horrible. Then after your done you can be harassed by homeless people who by the “kindness of their heart” want to get a taxi for you. Now if this is your idea of a dream night out, absolutely go here!

Terrible: the Lloret de Mar of Curaçao. Avoid if you're sensible
Sep 2020
After our visit to the Sea Aquarium, decided to take a look here. We thought we ended up in the Curaçao zoo instead. It was everything what I excepted it to be: terrible with a clear focus on mass tourism and cheap entertainment (for a premium price, of course).

Furthermore, the boulevard was deserted. We were the only people walking on it so restaurant owners desperately tried to lure us in with offers of steak. We even saw a big Subway, because when on the beach there's nothing better than eating a foot long sandwich.

This is the place were Dutch package holiday people go to spend their holiday with other Dutch package holiday people. Eating fast food while under the assumption that this is the real Curaçao life and way to spend your holiday in Curaçao. Just like they probably think Lloret de Mar is the real Spain. Good for them, not my cup of tea. If you love Lloret de Mar, you'll probably love Mambo Beach.

Avoid if you're sensible. There are better places to spend your time and money.

Happening Place
Jan 2023 • Couples
We heard so much, so we had to see. We drove up and down for a while until it became clear that there is no road or boulevard by the beach as we expected for some reason. You had to park at a large parking lot, and it is free (kudos!) and walk to something like a strip mall by the water. Full of restaurants and shops, bars teaming with younger crowd and throngs of tourists disgorged by the cruise ships. Supposedly good shopping but prices were astronomical (we are from New York!). We had a beer at a nice bar. Made use of the public bathroom, free and nice and clean (kudos!) and we that we had our fill of Mambo. It looks like a fun place for twenty-somethings after sunset. Nearby hotels may have a noise issue. Worth a stop, plenty of good eating.

Mambo Beach Blvd. is the place for all the beach loving people. You'll have many choices to hang out at. Just keep in mind if you don't go with one of the tours it'll cost to get on the beach and again if you want a chair and umbrella...

Fun vibe
Apr 2022
This beach and resort area is the same as we remembered from 6 years ago but there is a lot of new construction going on. The beach bars are well developed with lots of sun loungers and great food and drink options. Check out the restaurants on the upper level! Good food at all. Also some great little shops for people who want to do that.

Worth a Visit! Safe n Clean!
Mar 2020 • Family
A quick 15 ride from the cruise port brought us to Mambo. Great choice to spend day in the sun with nearby shopping, fun, drink and warm, inviting waters. Beach chairs and umbrellas available at a reasonable price!
