Great location if you like a peaceful, relaxing environment and want to be closest to the best snorkeling beaches on the island. We really enjoyed our stay here. The resort is on the ocean with a coral rock beach, dive center, and snorkeling. The rooms have a kitchenette (we made all our own meals) as well as several restaurants. We drove west up the island to Playa Lagun, Klein Knip, and Grote Knip. Beautiful, warm, clear water with terrific snorkeling. In front of the resort the snorkeling is fine - but even better further west. The resort is set in an area of developed residences and has security. However there is very little infrastructure nearby. We got a rental car from the airport, stopped at the grocery store near Willemstad, and then stayed at the resort and went to nearby beaches and were very happy. If you want more shopping, dining, resort activities like golf etc. you would be happier in Willemstad area. This was perfect for us. Also - note deluxe ocean view rooms (which we had) online show the picture from the second story rooms. They are lovely - looking over the resort to the ocean. The ground level deluxe ocean view rooms have a lesser view. We found the customer service to be excellent. We were able to add an electric skillet to our kitchenette to do more cooking. We got beach towels at check in and could exchange them daily. We always were able to get fresh bath towels if needed. The VIP Access $80 value was just discount coupons.
