Easy senior access to rooms and pool, convenient to airport
egwegw (Washington DC, District of Columbia) on Nov 21, 2024
Until July this was a Marriott Courtyard and still has the decor and feel of a Couryard. it's much more a "business" vs. "vacation" vibe, and that makes for a peaceful and quiet atmosphere in the days I've been here. WHAT I LIKE: • front desk very helpful and there 24 hours. • View from my room, while not on the Caraibbean, is lovely though I don't know if the property sits on a man-made lagoon like the kind Florida has so many of or if it's natural. • It's clean. • There is no mildew odor as there can easily be in a humid clime. • Work out area is clean and a nice temperature. • Housekeeping staff is friendly, efficient, and professional. SURPRISES: • Though the Trip Advisor description and website says there is a restaurant (and even says it has "special diet menus," when I tried to eat there, there were 4 items available - a chicken wrap, a beef wrap, a tuna pizza and a cheese pizza. There are no other restaurants close by, so this was a big surprise. I ended up taking a taxi to and from the grocery store to help with food for the stay, though the frig is itty bitty (and no microwave). • My first-floor room had a lock to outside that was torn off the door (and they fixed it quickly when I pointed it out). There's no oven / microwave (maybe that's just in suites, but it's not specified in the description). • Advertised yoga classes, but none available. Anyone staying here should be aware that it is VERY close to the airport but after 2 days here, I've yet to hear air traffic coming or going. there.
Nice place with a strange ambiance

When I booked the hotel, it was still a Courtyard. Before leaving to Bonaire, Marriott wrote to us that this hotel was not anymore part of their chain and that our booking had been taken over by Corallium. We didn't know this chain but decided to maintain our booking. Upon arrival, the staff at the reception was OK but as this hotel employs a lot of hotel students, you can feel that it is sometimes a bit amateurish. But there is always a supervisor not far away in case of need. And most of them speak Dutch, which I appreciate. I absolutely needed a very good and reliable wifi as I had to pass an online exam during my stay. Pros: - The room: extremely nice, large, comfortable - The wifi: fantastic. I could pass my exam troublefree. - The surroundings: nice, very close to the airport and the capital Kralendijk was easy to reach by car. Cons: - The Wave restaurant: it should have been open for dinner from Thursday to Sunday. It was however closed and when I inquired at the front desk, they were initially not aware of it. The breakfasts were average. The nice Colombian waitress did everything to make us a nice breakfast, but she was dependent on the rest of the team. And the first morning, the food came apparently from outside. This resulted in my fried eggs being cold and the waiting time was extremely long. The next mornings, there was a cook on the premises and it improved somewhat. The hotel clearly had a problem with their restaurant... - The pool: closed during our entire stay for renovation. The hotel reception warned us upon check-in that it would be closed for "a couple of days". We would have appreciated to have the possibility to swim and cool down after a long day in the heat, but this was not possible. Alternatively, a discount on the room for the inconvenience would have been the logical way to reduce this inconvenience. A take over by another chain can be always challenging. Here, it clearly was. We had the feeling to be in an empty hotel, in a kind of twilight zone. I am not sure that I would come back to this place during a next visit to Bonaire.
