Bij het complex werkt vriendelijke en behulpzaam personeel. Het complex ligt op loopafstand tot het strand, haven en supermarkt. Voldoende bedjes bij het zwembad te liggen. Ook gelegenheid tot het kopen van drankjes en (eenvoudige) lekker lunch. Mooie uitvalsbasis voor een relaxte en leuke vakantie

    “Spent a week at Morena Resort in a three bedroom 2 bath villa. The resort is very clean and quiet. The villas are simple but quite comfortable. Each had a small kitchenette with refrigerator, stove and all items needed for a meal. Each villa also had a large and spacious deck with table and chairs, sofas and a hammock. A great place to hang out. Air conditioning is only in the bedrooms and not in the main living space but a fan is provided. There are two pools at the resort and two restaurants. Both were clean, had very decent food and good service. However the pool bar closed early many afternoons when we were there which was a bit disappointing. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Morena is a 7 minute walk or a 2 minute drive from Jan Thiel beach and upon checkin you are given a pass to enter the beach parking lot for no charge. Many reviews speak of the need to walk uphill to come back to the resort from the beach. This is true but it is a gentle hill and it is very manageable. Morena also provides beach towels which can be exchanged each day for clean/dry ones. At Jan Thiel beach there is a small grocery store, many great restaurants and plenty of places to enjoy the beach and ocean. Morena Resort is not a luxury resort but our family really enjoyed the location, friendly staff, cleanliness and safety and tranquility. We would definitely recommend and would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Curacao.”

    “We were pleasantly surprised at first: the resort looks beautiful, with the wooden walkways, lots of nature, and lovely swimming pools. However, when we were allowed into our room, we were quite disappointed. The bedroom has no connection to the outdoors at all. The room smelled damp and musty, and I was bitten by mosquitoes within no time. You could rent a mosquito net for an extra €5 per night (it was very small and had holes in it). We tried several times to get another room, but unfortunately this was not possible. Breakfast was a disaster: the buffet is set up in a small room where too many people are crowded together trying to serve themselves, and you had to wait a long time for a cup of coffee (there was only one very slow machine, and the coffee didn’t even taste good). Often there was only one staff member on duty who was (understandably) not happy with all the crowds and questions from guests. You can access the beach using a beach pass. The sunbeds are packed tightly together in rows, often without any shade. At some point we disliked going back to the resort so much that we checked out three days early to rent a room somewhere else on the island. Definitely not recommended from our point of view!”

  • Muito mais ou menos. Mais para menos. Cama desconfortável é a pior experiência que uma hospedagem pode proporcionar.
