Your guide to the best luxury hotel in Willemstad
Renaissance Wind Creek Curacao Resort · OtrobandaFor this guide we reviewed the best hotels in Willemstad and chose one: a luxury hotel in Otrobanda, right at the old fortress.At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.
One luxury hotel in Willemstad – and who it suits
Our choice for Willemstad is the Renaissance Wind Creek Curaçao Resort in Otrobanda. A night starts at 207 euros, it belongs to Marriott Bonvoy, and in our ranking it stands at 3.7 out of 5.
Why we recommend it: Because it is directly connected to the Rif Fort, the 1828 fortress at the harbour mouth, and because the resort has a white-sand saltwater lagoon set just above the Caribbean. The Wind Creek Casino stands in the building, with over 250 slot machines and twelve gaming tables. The Queen Emma Bridge and Punda are within walking distance – 600 and 700 metres. Our recommended category is called Ocean View Room.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
The choice is wide, and on the view it pays to look closely.
This hotel offers 20 categories, five of them suites. The square metres are settled by our travel advisors before booking.
On the view it gets specific: six categories face into the resort, four the ocean, two the island.
And one category states in its very name that the view is limited. That is an open statement of a kind one rarely sees – so ask us about the specific category: we will tell you before booking which category has which outlook.
Our recommendation is clear: the Ocean View Room – four categories face the ocean, so you book exactly what is recommended.
On the package: breakfast for two, the upgrade on arrival, early check-in and late check-out, a welcome gift – and the regular points and status benefits of Marriott Bonvoy, which keep running here alongside our own. Bookings start at one night.
Where to stay in Willemstad: in Otrobanda, at the Rif Fort
The Renaissance Wind Creek Curaçao Resort lies in Otrobanda, at the harbour mouth – 200 metres to the Rif Fort, 600 to the Queen Emma Bridge, 700 to Punda, six kilometres to Mambo Beach, ten to Hato airport and 36 to Christoffel National Park.
Our recommendation is therefore for anyone who wants to see Curaçao from the city rather than from a holiday bay – and for those who would like to walk across the pontoon bridge in the evening.
What lies within reach: the Handelskade in Punda, 700 metres, with the coloured row of houses at the water; the Queen Emma Bridge, 600 metres, a pontoon bridge that swings aside for every passing ship; and Christoffel National Park, 36 kilometres, with the island’s highest peak.
On arrival: Hato airport lies ten kilometres away, about fifteen minutes.
20 categories, five suites: the best hotel in Willemstad from the inside
The Renaissance Wind Creek Curaçao Resort offers 20 categories, five of them suites – Executive and Imperial.
Our travel advisors settle the size before booking.
On the view: this hotel’s motifs are the ocean, the island and the resort itself. Six categories face the resort, four the ocean, two the island. One further category has an expressly limited outlook – which one that is, and what stands next to it, we will tell you before booking.
Our recommended category is the Ocean View Room, facing the ocean.
What applies equally to every category: breakfast for two, the upgrade on arrival subject to availability, early check-in and late check-out subject to availability, a welcome gift and the regular points and status benefits of Marriott Bonvoy.
What a night at the luxury hotel in Willemstad costs
A night at the luxury hotel in Willemstad starts at 207 euros.
Bookings start at one night. Included are the seven benefits above.
When it is loveliest: practically all year. Curaçao lies off the coast of Venezuela, far south of the track of the tropical storms; the temperature moves within a narrow band across the year.
What belongs to the island: the trade wind. It blows almost constantly from the east, makes the heat bearable and gives the eastern shores their swell. The driest months are May to August; between October and December short showers fall.
When to ask early: around Christmas and New Year and for carnival in February.
How long to stay: five to seven nights – the old town is seen in a day, the bays on the west coast need several.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year just as you do in the busiest.
A lagoon, a casino and exclusive services – the alternative to a 5-star hotel
Willemstad was laid out in 1634 by the Dutch West India Company, and the plan still stands: a fortress at the harbour mouth, behind it a city in two halves. That the houses are coloured is a quirk of the 19th century – whitewashed façades glared so badly in the sun that paint was ordered.

First the Queen Emma Bridge: a pontoon bridge on 16 boats that swings aside when a ship comes in – pedestrians then wait or take the ferry. Second the Handelskade: the row of houses that appears on every postcard of the island. Third Christoffel National Park, 36 kilometres: 2,300 hectares of dry forest with the highest point on Curaçao.
The package at this hotel is breakfast for two, the upgrade on arrival, check-in and check-out, a gift and the regular Bonvoy points.
What our travel advisors arrange most often: the choice of the category with the right view, the transfer from Hato and the tour to the west coast.
