Lovely resort, never felt crowded. Easy to find a lounge chair on the beach or by the pool, lots of shade if desired. Nice restaurants, friendly staff. Good fitness room. Not far to commercial area although we were advised not to walk around neighborhood at night. Great upscale dining right by hotel.

The Avila Beach hotel is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. It has such a wonderful relaxed vibe and everyone is so welcoming and nice. The two private beaches are so relaxing and the pool was great too. The food is excellent and we especially liked The Blues restaurant. If you want a relaxed and quiet vacation - this is the best place for you! We had such a wonderful time at the Avila.

The reefs surrounding the hotel were my favorite part. There was more fishes and wildlife here than on the snorkeling excursions I booked. I even saw a sea turtle while snorkeling outside of the lagoons. The food was amazing, Happy hour was great with live entertainment 4 out of 7 nights. The price seemed very reasonable and the rooms had everything you’d need. I can’t wait to come back.

Never Again
Once we arrived, they let us know we went be able to stay in the original room we booked because we had our baby with us and put us in a lower level room that was not as nice as the room we reserved and already paid for. They refused to give us even a partial refund. We also had a terrible ant problem in our room, reported it, and nothing was done about it. Breakfast is $50 for two people and the buffet is the same everyday. Not very clean. Even mentioned to a couple locals we were staying there and th eir reactions alone let us know we made the wrong choice. Would not go back.

This is a wonderful hotel. The front staff greeted us very nicely and we had a room overlooking the water (worth it!) with stove and refrigerator! Their in-room coffee makers are excellent and they provide the pods. The two beaches are pristine and protected from rough waves by rock jetties. The Blues and Pen restaurants are excellent and there is a happy hour at the bar 5:00 -6:00 pm. We walked into town twice, about 30 minutes each way and not that pretty. The hotel offers a shuttle 9:30 - 11:30 am and 2:00 -4:30 pm but not over lunch or dinner. A cab from the airport was $45.00 dollars and return $38.00 dollars. There is large supermarket about 30-40 minutes walk away but no hotel shuttle there. This is a great property and relaxing!

The place was extremely average the maids and service was amazing but the front desk killed my vibe. This hotel feels very fee driven and will try to get you for every little thing. We were charged $25 dollars for one key card missing. A piece of plastic. When you can go to other hotels and it’s not a fee. Even on Expedia this wasn’t meantioned. 25 dollars per “towel” and these were the same quality towels used in the rooms didn’t feel right. The towel card is another scam fee.other luxury resorts do not charge over towel service. And I am playing devils advocate understanding each countries run their things differently. They charged me an extra 30 for my guest but the room accommodates for two people and doesn’t specify why I have to pay the 30 dollars. It’s like they were trying to pocket as much as possible. The resort is near the mambo beach which is still a good 20 minute walk , 4 minute drive but I just didn’t like the fee fee fee driven idea for the basic things. No free water or bottled water in the room. I received a total of 10 bites from bugs at this location. Which they sent out a letter explaining they would do better but for what we paid vs going else where I could of just spent extra money to be near another hotel that isn’t so pushy about fees

Avila Beach Hotel was ideal for me during my 5 day stay. They provided shuttle bus service to downtown Willemstad and it was easy to be picked up by private tour guide and get a taxi when needed. They stated the hotel was at full capacity during my stay, but the beach and pool areas never felt overcrowded. I'd give 5 stars but the food at The Pen was mediocre to me so they may want to level up the quality and offerings to match the beautiful beach and ocean views while dinning there. I didn't eat anywhere else on the property and there's restaurants, a corner market and pharmacy close to the hotel. A nice added touch on my birthday the room attendant left me balloons and a bottle of wine. I'd definitely consider staying at Avilla Beach Hotel again in the future. Danki!
