"We recently stayed here for a family vacation and unfortunately the experience didn’t quite meet our expectations. One of the biggest issues was the very loud nightly music, which made it difficult for our kids to sleep. After quite a bit of back and forth with management we were eventually moved to another room, which we appreciated, but the process was a hassle. The dining system was also frustrating. Having to stand in line between 10am–4pm just to reserve dinner for the next night felt inconvenient for an all-inclusive resort. We also found the food to be average overall at best. Our son has food allergies, which made dining stressful. At the buffet there wasn’t clear ingredient information, and even at the restaurants it was difficult to get clear answers about ingredients. Service at dinner was also extremely slow, which made the experience even more challenging with kids. Overall, many parts of the resort, including lounge chairs and common areas felt quite dated, and most staff interactions felt somewhat unfriendly until the last couple days of our stay when we did meet a few helpful staff members. Curaçao itself is so beautiful, but the resort experience fell short of what we were hoping. "

"yes yes yes beautiful"

"The ocean view was so nice from my room. I celebrated my birthday there. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed my time there and would love to come back. "

"Don’t expect a relaxing getaway—with construction pounding next door the pool area is not a relaxing destination. There is kids screaming and running around in the evenings as well as playing in the pool area. Getting your room cleaned daily requires extra stops into the reception area to make sure you weren’t missed. They had to spray my room for tons of mosquitos and other bugs due to the plastic being cracked over the windows. Expect extreme island time for service at the hotel bars and restaurants. The highlight was definitely the massage vendor that came in as an outside service. Amazing views but would definitely not stay here again. "

"Amazing resort. Luxury except the staff was not uptight online other luxury resorts. The optional shower room facilities post checkout are perfect for evening travelers that have checked out. Great facilities, restaurants and quiet beach with plenty of chairs. No loud music, which was nice. I visited other resorts during my travels and they had more of a party vibe. Avila is low key, quiet, peaceful and tranquil. "

"Incredible place if you want to stay in the heart of Willemstad. Rooftop pool was never used during the day, so it felt like I had a private rooftop pool, deck and area. Friendly staff and local to everything."

"Staff was friendly. Room was clean.Great location. "

"Super friendly stuff. The room location was perfect: right next to the pool and the beach, walking distance to shopping center and Downtown. The food is amazing! We truly had a great time!"

"I loved my stay at this hotel. I was alone and felt safe and liked the small property size. Staff were wonderful..Edgar was the 1st to greet me at check in and was a bright and wonderful person that was there for any questions i had! . Room was small but perfect for me! I was so happy ti see how clean it was ( the whole hotel was!) Wifi was great throughout the property. Pool was fabulous- clean and had the best and most comfortable lounge chairs! Loved Emmanuel- sweetest man keeping the pool area clean!!❤️ Food was limited to buffet type breakfast and some lunch options up to 2pm. I tried a few things - all were delicious and fresh!! I wish they offered same options after 2pm. **Just across the street is a beautiful area with lots of restaurants and great food - so everything worked out great!! * only one mirror in bathroom with no power socket to dry hair.... so i had to do it in bedroom with no mirror... small issue - no big deal! I feel I found my " home" in Curacao when I return! I used to stay at expensive resorts...not any more! The Freedom Hotel will be my 1st choice in accommodations! ❤️THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFF! DINA 🌞☺️"
