Westpunt, Curacao
Absolutely perfect location. Our two story townhome is perched above the beautiful azure waters of Westpunt Bay. Picturesque views of the quaint fishing village, calm seas, and lush tropical foliage add to the charm of this resort community. Pick up your car at the airport and travel west to an area that seems untouched by development or cruise ship crowds. Divers will appreciate the easy access to the calm and protected waters of the west end and the healthy and abundantly populated coral reefs just a few meters from shore. Two PADI dive operations are nearby for equipment rentals and boat diving for those who want to explore further offshore. Hikers and sightseers can take advantage of the two nearby national parks with rocky shores, crashing waves, or mountain trails. Come back to the resort and cool off in the large pool or just relax on the spacious deck.
Be sure to join your neighbors at the sea wall each evening for the spectacular sunsets.
Despite the tranquil and untouched setting of Marazul, guests will enjoy all of the comforts of home. Each floor is equipped with air conditioning and a ceiling fan and both levels are fully screened. The first floor of the unit has a living area featuring a reclining love seat .Those who require technology will appreciate the high speed internet and flat screen TV .

Outside the front door, enjoy your breakfast or lunch on the patio facing the sea. In the nicely decorated upstairs bedroom you will find a queen sized bed with a memory foam topper, a full sized dresser, and another flat screen TV. The upstairs bathroom is mirror image of the one below. Sliding doors open on to a spacious deck with shaded seating. There is also a washing machine for your convenience.
The weather on the island of Curacao is fantastic. Winter temperatures usually mean lows in the mid 70's with highs in the mid 80's. Summer temps will be just a few degrees warmer and October is the warmest month. Consistent winds from the east to the west allow many to sleep with the windows open instead of using the air conditioning. The climate of Curacao is considered to be tropical savanna. Rainfalls total between 20-22 inches per year. Even during the rainy season (early winter) the daytime rain is punctuated with periods of bright sunshine and most rains are at night.
Curacao is a sightseer's dream. The island has enjoyed a rich history which is still in evidence today. A large and protected natural seaport made the island the commercial and cultural hub of the Netherlands Antilles for the past 500 years. Columbus was one of the early explorers to visit her shores. Much of the early history and culture of Curacao is proudly displayed in the many museums and colorful "landhuises" which dot the countryside. There are "Kodak moments" at every turn. The island's 38 beaches are generally tucked between coral cliffs or rolling hills. Most are secluded and intimate. The best beaches are found on the island's west end where we are. Photographers will be captivated by the number of unique vistas that will be found in a day's exploration.
Host was very hands-on with helping with any questions we might have. Quiet location just what we wanted. Great diving and snorkeling 100 feet from the front door. Very friendly guest in the resort. Beautiful pool. Very short walk to 3 restaurants and 2 beaches. Short drive to many great beaches, restaurants and points of interest. Without a doubt this was the most relaxing vacation ever! I believe having a car is a must.
Marazul is one of our favorite places to stay on the island. Up north in a very quiet areas. Beautiful beaches and dive spots all around. Marazul and this unit perfect place for a romantic couples get away area. Limited but wonderful restaurants close by.
Great place to stay if you are happy to be far away from the busy touristic life of Curacao. The North of the island is fantastic for nature lovers and people who love to have a quiet vacation. The beach house is nice and cosy and has everything you need for a great stay. Bed is amazing and so is the reclining love seat. There is a constant breeze which is nice as well. We had a relaxing week. Let's not forget about Beth and Phil who are amazing hosts and respond to messages in no time.
This is a lovely unit in Marazul Dive Resort-a beautiful view! The only reason for the less than 5 stars is because we weren't told ahead that the dual recliner was broken (one side), and, believe it or not, comfy living room furniture plays into which unit we chose. Snorkel gear was supposed to be there, but when we told the owner that it had apparently gone on walkabout, he was quite distressed and immediately apologized and told us to please buy what we needed and he would reimburse us. The AC worked well to cool the unit, we enjoyed snorkeling right off the staircases, met lovely neighbors at the pool, and ate really good food at the restaurant just next door-the Cactus Cafe. So good that we never ate at another restaurant in the area!
Convenient location to explore west side beaches that are great for snorkeling and avoiding crowds. Condo is very comfortable; communications with owner were always timely and helpful. Great experience overall.
The condo was in an excellent location with many nearby beaches!
This was our second time staying at Beth's place and our 5th time at Marazul. We love it!!!! Had everything we needed. Air worked well but we seldom used the downstairs unit as the morning breeze was awesome. The bed was comfortable. This time we met some of the neighbors and began to feel even more like locals. We dove off the boat 4 times and did Alice and Playa Grande, but one of our favorite is diving the shallows in front the Condo. There were so many fish, it was like an aquarium. The reef in front of there is nice too. Can't wait to get back to Marazul.
We had a wonderful experience at this property. Beth was an attentive, excellent host. She provided detailed instructions and information about the property and surrounding area. She checked in a few times to make sure everything was good and we were enjoying our stay. We were! The condo was very clean and spacious. You had ocean views from both the downstairs and upstairs...right from your bed! The kitchen was well-equipped. The owners had extras items available as well (e.g .blender, many cooking utensils, reef guides, Netflix account) which made the stay even more enjoyable. There was a manager at the condo complex, Lex, who was also very friendly and helpful. The parking lot is gated so your rental car is safe. There was a nice pool for swimming or sunbathing that overlooked the ocean. You also could walk about 50 steps and climb down a ladder and snorkel or swim. The snorkeling in the area was excellent. Many varied, interesting, and colorful fish! There were several top-notch beaches nearby. There also were excellent restaurants within walking and short driving distance. We enjoyed Cactus Cafe and Sol Foods. Excellent food and service. You will want to do grocery shopping before you drive up as there is not a larger grocery store nearby. If you stock up ahead of time, you'll be set. This is a perfect place to stay if you want to relax at a quiet place with beautiful views and nice amenities, close to good beaches and restaurants. We felt like we were living in paradise!
This was our 4th time to Marazul but only our first time in this unit. We love Marazul and can't wait to get back. Although we usually rent 3 bedroom, this unit was plenty roomy enough for the 2 of us and had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the reclining loveseat. With the curtains open, we could just sit there and enjoy the view of the ocean. The bench in back for setting up scuba gear was also a huge plus. I would reserve this place again. Thank you Beth.
What a beautiful setting! Quiet yet close to pretty beaches and places to dine.
Our stay was excellent from start to finish. Booking was easy andquestiones quickly responded to. The condo and resort were well kept, clean and quiet. Everything was available for an enjoyable stay. We will be back! Many thanks to Beth and Lex for a most enjoyable stay.
