From your amazing room you can slide right into the swimming pool! The swimming pools feel like luxurious lagoons surrounding your private oasis. We loved the privacy of the jungle oasis that was only accessible by guest with hotel keys. You will notice tons of lizards and geckos which we found fascinating! We honestly felt like we had been transported into the amazon instead of just a mile down the road. In addition to being beautiful and luxurious, Kontiki Beach Resort also has some of the best beaches in Curaçao!

Kontiki has two great beaches, Cabana Beach and Mood Beach. Mood Beach is a new beach and, in my eyes, couldn’t be more perfect! It has cabanas with waiter service, a great bar with delicious beach cocktails and fresh coconuts for hydration. The restaurant is 5-star and the food is divine! We were spoiled after sharing a meal with the new GM. He spoiled us rotten by choosing the best things off the menu for us to share! The restaurant has an open kitchen so you can see the 5-star chef work his magic on your meal. I really appreciated the attention to detail he gave when plating the food. If you are a chocolate lover like me, you must try the chocolate dessert that they offer! I went back for more each night we stayed at Kontiki! Mood Beach also has a swim out dock and you can see an amazing array of fish just by dipping your toes into the water!

Cabana Beach is another great beach that is a part of Kontiki resort. Like Mood Beach, it has cabana service and a ton of beach chairs. The drinks are great and you can get beach-side service. The only downfall with Cabana beach that I noticed was that guests from the local cruise ships could purchase day passes. These guests were only on the beach for a few hours but it was a bit annoying.

Personally, I preferred Mood Beach to Cabana Beach. It was a bit more upscale and the food was EXCELLENT!  If you prefer more of a party scene then Cabana Beach is the place to be! One of the great things about Kontiki is that it has beaches for every personality type  You can take you pick based on your mood! Non-hotel guests can visit both beach locations that Kontiki offers via a day pass for $25 – a great price for access to private beaches, great drinks and clean amenities.

Baoase – Super High-End Luxury, Very Private, 5-Star Service

Baoase was one of our last stops on our “explore Curaçao” tour! How do I describe Baoase?!? Have you ever wanted to travel to the luxury hotels in Bali or have your own private villa and beach like you see in the Maldives but you think I just can’t imagine sitting on a plane for that many hours  The solution is Baoase!!!

Boase is a true paradise!  It’s a very exclusive luxury property with 23 extravagant rooms, suites and villas, the resort is the ultimate getaway for luxury seeker. The hotel even has a helicopter landing pad for guests who prefer to fly in and not deal with the roads on the island.

The beach at Baoase is like no other beach in Curaçao. As I mentioned this property only has 23 rooms so you will have all the privacy and service that your heart desires. Most of the rooms have private beaches as well!

If you decide to go to the main beach you will have a cabana manager that will fulfill any request that you might have. While laying at your cabana you can pull the rope and a flag will pop up. This is a signal to your server that you need / desire something. This is a great system so if you want some alone time (with your travel companion, or in my case on this trip a book) you don’t get disturbed. They also have amazing diving and snorkeling that you can swim to from the beach.
