My stay at Baoase Luxury Resort in Curaçao was truly memorable. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a warm team of friendly hosts who made us feel at home. The lush landscaping surrounding the property creates a tranquil and enchanting atmosphere. The main beach was pristine, offering the perfect relaxing spot to soak up the warm weather. The staff was consistently charming and attentive, making our stay feel both welcoming and pampered. Our Superior Beachfront Pool Suite was impeccably designed, seamlessly blending luxury and comfort, with thoughtful touches like daily turn-down service adding to the experience.
However, one significant drawback was the view from our villa. Although we booked the Superior Beachfront Pool Suite, advertised as offering privacy, a private plunge pool, and a small private beach, our expectations were impacted by construction. We were notified eight days before arrival about the construction, but upon arriving, we realized the view from our villa faced an active construction site with workers, which compromised our privacy.
The manager, Franco, was invaluable in addressing our concerns and made a sincere effort to find alternative accommodations, though the resort was fully booked. We really appreciate the discount provided as compensation, but the experience left room for improvement.
Additionally, consistency in housekeeping could have been improved. On some days, housekeeping came automatically; on others, we had to request it, and one day it was done at bedtime. The mini-bar was also not refilled, and while we didn’t request replenishment, this seemed inconsistent with the level of service expected. These minor lapses, while not major, could be areas for enhancement.
That said, the overall experience at Baoase was elevated by the genuinely friendly staff and the world-class food. Every meal we enjoyed was exquisite, comparable to dining experiences from top chefs worldwide. Despite the setbacks, I would recommend this property, albeit with caution regarding potential construction disruptions.

We stayed at the Baoase in March 2024 for our honeymoon, in one of the honeymoon suites. We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed the Baoase - from the friendly staff to the resort itself, it was just perfect. The room was beautiful and comfortable, the patio was phenomenal! This was right before the honeymoon suites were updated, and they were perfect then, and the updates make them look even better!
The staff was outstanding in every way, the food, service and ambience at the restaurant (whether on the patio or on the sand!) was superb. We loved the beach area and the cabanas - there was always a place to relax for the day and they all have unique tropical outlooks; great water for swimming, we enjoyed the beach daily.
Thank you for making this the perfect honeymoon. We barely left the resort during our time there. Can't wait to come back!

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveler reviews.
The Baoase hotel offers a stunning and pristine environment, complemented by its exceptional cleanliness and beautiful, peaceful surroundings. We felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. The staff are truly amazing—attentive, friendly, and dedicated to ensuring a comfortable stay for all guests. The ambiance and aesthetics of the property create a serene and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a Caribbean getaway.
The food was amazing, the quality and creativity were exceptional! The cocktails and wine selections were also fantastic. The chefs and cooking staff clearly are experts and created masterful meals. With this being said, meals were notably expensive. On some nights, we wished that there were casual dining options rather than a larger, sit down meal. Hopefully this is something that could be offered in the future.
We did not purchase the meal plan as we would have only utilized one meal on the day of arrival. In addition, the holiday specialty dining nights were not included in the meal plan so we would have been paying twice for some dinners. During breakfast, we were asked if we would be dining at the resort for lunch and dinner. There seemed to be a little bit of pressure to dine at the restaurants on the property rather than go out. The dining atmosphere is romantic and serene.
As someone who needs to drink a lot of water during the day, we were only provided with two free bottles of water daily; additional water needed to be purchased. We wished that a carafe of ice water could have been available while at the beach rather than having to continually consume bottled water. As a result of needing to drink a lot of water, we purchased water from a grocery store.
The texting system via What’s App was very useful and a great customer service tool. We utilized it several times during our stay. The fresh fruit was a real treat and something that we looked forward to daily.
There were definitely more children at the resort than we expected, this could have been because of the time of year. However, it was special to stay at the resort during the holiday season, the decorations were beautiful.
Upon leaving the resort, review the bill carefully to ensure no extra charges are added. I was surprised I did not receive a final bill via email nor a customer service survey. No mechanism to provide feedback was provided.
We had an exceptional time during our stay and would definitely return in spite of some of the hiccups we experienced during our stay.

My family owns a company where we basically clean tile floors in a number of restaurants and hotels. Because of this, growing up I was able to stay at a few pretty fancy and up-scale hotels that I would never otherwise be able to stay at. Usually we only stayed for a few days, and we were usually working at night and sleeping for most of the day. Still, it felt nice to visit somewhere that felt like a glimpse of a world that I was not a part of. When my parents invited my wife and I to go to with them to Baoase for a special occasion, I assumed it would be like the various fancy hotels that we had cleaned floors for in the past. I was EXTREMELY wrong (In the best way possible). In short, Baoase is the nicest and most luxurious resort I have ever been to in my entire life. It is a glimpse into a world of luxury and comfort that I have never known before. The staff was always kind and thoughtful, thinking of my own needs before I even thought of them myself (I befriended one of the guys working on staff, we send messages on What's App every now and then!). Whether it was scheduling a taxi for when we went into the city or thinking of possible hiccups that we might encounter as we would be leaving the resort/country, I can't think of a single bad thing that happened at all during our stay. The entire resort is beautiful and kept constantly clean and tidy, the beach is great and the water always feels like it's the perfect temperature. The food is fairly expensive (I would recommend the dinners verses the lunch specials), but the dinners had a presentation that matched the level of luxury and up-scale-ness that felt like I was in a James Bond movie or something. A couple of times we thought "maybe we should go and see the sights nearby," but we always went back to "but Baoase is so great, why would we want to leave this!?" My wife got a manicure from Julieta (My wife loved her manicure), and all of us got a massage from Fabiola (Really awesome).
Usually whenever you experience something exceptional, it becomes the base-line for any other comparable experience. For me, Baoase is the high-bar in my head for "the best of the best." My wife and I live in Bolivia, and when we discovered a really nice hotel, we said "We found the Baoase of Bolivia!" For me, Baoase truly represents high level luxurious living. It is the best place I have ever had the pleasure of staying at, hands down.

This resort is one of the finest places I have stayed--and I've been around the block. The staff is what makes this place great. They are consistently pleasant, helpful and make the stay what it is. The facility (rooms, boardwalk, walkways, beach, restaurants, bars, furniture, all the inanimate things) are in PERFECT condition. The food is delicious and the weather while hot with a bit of humidity, it is not stifling or heavy say like in Cancun-enjoying a meal outdoors any time of the day is a delight. The front office assisted us multiple times with taxi services as my wife wanted to explore Curacao and the city of Willemstad a bit. We did some shopping and the locals are all very friendly. The billing and itemization of the invoice at check out was perfect. They offer a luggage carry out service at 11:50AM local time to your ride to the airport. I implore all travelers to Curacao to use the transfer service and such and bill it to your room. The gents at the airport walked us past many long lines and we were able to get through stress free entering and leaving the island. We will definitely be back to celebrate soon!

What a beautiful resort! Everything about this place is spot on. The beach and lagoon are pristine (you can snorkel around the back of the lagoon and see so many tropical fish just steps away from the beach). The food at the restaurant is beautifully presented and delicious (with a wonderfully crafted menu). The rooms are luxurious and the service was so guest-focused - it was flawless. Our kids were excited to find a different tropical fruit in our room each day (rambutan, dragon fruit, passion fruit, lychee) - it's little touches like this (and the line up of the staff to wave us farewell at the end of our stay) that make a big difference. The manager of the resort came to introduce himself and the rest of the staff followed his "guest first" mentality. Highly recommend this place. Surely there is nowhere else on Curacao that can match this resort.

Our family of four enjoyed our stay at this magical oasis in March 2024. We staying in the three bedroom, two bathroom, two-story (with lofts above the second floor bedrooms) renovated Tropical Pool Villa which has direct access from the patio to the pool. The pool hours were 10 a.m.-7 p.m. during our stay and guests observed these hours. Melvin and Daniella offered personalized, warm and friendly customer care. The housekeeping team and beach and pool maintenance team did fantastic jobs. Our rooms were very clean and well-appointed. The food was outstanding at Baoase. We stayed for five nights and we were still enjoying the variety of dishes on the menu at all the meals during the day. We dined off property during our tour with Andy at Rustica and once for dinner at Serafina. Both were booked through the hotel and we would recommend them both. This property offers a secluded respite to relax and renew, to celebrate milestone life events, and both staff and other guests respect privacy. There is a no photography with other guests in the background rule and from what I could see, everyone was aware and honored this.

My husband and I recently returned from an 8 day stay at Baoase to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Just…WOW. The resort is beautiful, and the staff were very attentive from the moment of our rival to the time of our departure. We stayed in Honeymoon Suite 302, which is situated over the bar area, but we were never disturbed by any sounds or voices. 302 had back stairs that conveniently led right down to the bar/restaurant/beach. We pay particular attention to the cuisine when we travel, and the food at Baoase did NOT disappoint. They have a standard menu, but they also have culinary theme nights if you prefer a change of pace (our favorite was BBQ night). Every meal was delicious. The beach is stunning. It’s a small lagoon, quiet and serene, not crowded, and perfect for snorkeling, paddle boarding, canoeing, or just lounging in a beach chair. The only hiccup we had, was that we paid for the use of the VIP assistance at the airport for arrival and departure. No one was there to greet us upon arrival to assist through customs and immigration, but fortunately we didn’t need it. Our arrival into Curacao was one of the easiest and fastest we’ve ever experienced. It took all of 15 mins from the time we left the plane to the time we left the airport and made our way to the taxi area. The same thing happened upon departure: the representative we paid for to assist us didn’t show up, but we easily breezed through security and we were sitting at our gate within 10 mins after we arrived at the airport. I notified Baoase, and they deducted those charges from our bill. We will definitely have a return visit, as we absolutely LOVED our stay there. Thank you to the staff for a lovely 30th wedding anniversary trip.

This place is more than magical, an enchanting Balinese oasis. They sometimes say you don't come for the island but for Baoase. The most serene and beautiful stay for couples and families, from the moment you arrive you know you are somewhere special! Service is world class!!I highly recommend the beachfront villas the sexiest room I have ever stayed in. Gigantic outdoor spaces, private pool, beautiful, romantic bed and an outdoor bathroom with beautiful stone bath... OMG take me back! You have a private beach and if you travel with your kids they neatly place beds there. Everything is perfect...cuisine, service, super sweet girls and young gentlemen. Whatever you want, they will find it for you and make it happen. The themed restaurant evenings are super tasty and the surroundings are beautiful! The regular menu is also a delight. The passion of chef Rene Klop and Marc shines through on every dish presented here. What I also recommend is the Private yacht The Boston Whaler, a real picture of a yacht, fruit box, sushi box, cheeses for the sunset, delicious wines, whatever you want and it is taken care of. We had an incredibly beautiful day again. What is also so nice, Thijs and his team have so many great plans!! A very good and sweet entrepreneur. We will definitely visit all the new projects again next year. In short, a paradise!! Thanks again for everything! Family Kok.

We visited Baoase for a 50th birthday getaway and were super impressed! The attention to detail at the ultra private oasis was unbelievable. The resort is absolutely beautiful and the kindness of the staff was a perfect ten. Above all- the food was the shining star! Many resorts can do customer service, sunsets and beaches well but the cuisine at Baoase was a culinary adventure. Michelin Star level! I am still dreaming about the hamachi ceviche appetizer and the truffle ravioli with cauliflower, spinach and beurre blanc. Incredible! Be sure to plan your stay to include a Saturday night when they serve the Fruits de Mere menu complete with a fantastic vocalist for the perfect gourmet dinner on the beach. The water was warm and refreshing and the beach butlers were surprising us with ice cold popsicles and coconut custard in the morning and chilled shrimp or teriyaki beef bites in the afternoon. We brought our 15 year old daughter with us who may have been bored at a boutique resort this small until we stumbled upon the most beautiful oceanside turf field right next to the resort. Look for Chops- a Curacao ALL STAR who opened the field for her to practice lacrosse and showed us such kindness. Most villas feature a large outdoor kitchen and living area with the inside space representing a traditional Dutch style minimalistic design. If I had one complaint, I do not love a spiral staircase and was happy to have the room downstairs. If you are only traveling with your partner, check out the beachfront pool suites. If you are looking for a spa retreat, this resort only offers a massage hut on the beach. The massage was lovely but an expansion of the gym to include more spa services would be a plus. I am not typically someone who returns to a resort twice but in this case, it's the food and the hospitality that will bring me back to Baoase! Special shout out to Jorn who runs the resort with style and personality, Melvin who should be the leading man in movie version of the resort, Luuk, Maartje, Amily, Mikky, Mickey, Shante, Frederique, Isis, and every member of the culinary team - you made this trip so special!

Yes children are allowed. there was a baby there (infant) but the facility is not really geared to children - no children’s food menu or water slide etc

You can scuba from the resort, not sure if they have equipment but I saw people entering the water with gear by our suite. We had a private beach suite with a gorgeous lagoon that led out to the sea with a drip off immediately outside the resort confinements, I snorkeled out there. Lots of stuff to see. Water is beautiful. There is a small restaurant and a dock where you can enter the water. Have fun, the food is outstanding btw. Don’t miss seafood night. We did all inclusive package.

Our beachfront pool suites had views of the ocean from the beach. The superior beach front view rooms had more direct views to the ocean but on the opposite side of the main resort lagoon. I saw it and preferred our view. The place is very small and the views from Bibi island are spectacular and only a short stroll. I’d recommend renting a car from the hotel (better rates and convenient). There are done restaurants close by but I’d advise taking a cab if you don’t rent a vehicle.
There are more places to choose from in the Willemstad area.
