Arcade Hotels in Curaçao

Clean rooms, great AC, friendly and helpful staff, huge main swimming pool with a large variety and quantity of shaded poolside lounging furniture, great multiple bars, an awesome little pastry/cafe place (best cappuccino), and nice beaches. BUT with disappointing food quality, amateurish at best, this is not a 5-star resort. Strongly recommend that the Rif (as well as the adjoining sister property) focus more on getting high quality chefs to warrant more than an overall 3-star review. Don't waste your money staying there.

The rooms were big and very clean. Housekeeping clean very well. Food was very good. Liquor was good for well liquor. No hangovers. My wife and I wished the staff was more friendly. It was hard to get a smile or a goodmorning from them

Kontiki was an absolute blast! It’s definitely the Ibiza of the Caribbean. The property was spotless, and the staff was incredibly attentive. The beaches were breathtaking, with the most stunning blue Caribbean Sea you’ve ever seen. The bar staff were quick and friendly, and they even gave us some tips to make the most of our authentic Curaçao experience. However, there were a few hiccups. The printed menu and the POS didn’t always match up, which was frustrating. But that’s more on the hotel’s development and logistics side, not the staff’s fault. We stayed in the beachfront room, which was worth every penny. The plunge pool was great, but it was a bit far from the other pools, so we didn’t get a chance to check it out. And let me tell you, the AC didn’t work at night! It was freezing cold, and there was nothing the staff could do about it. I ended up sleeping outside two nights because the room was too cold. Overall, the staff was amazing, but the hotel could definitely improve in terms of amenities and comfort.
