My stay at Bij Blauw was truly memorable, with its clean and charming atmosphere. The restaurant offered an amazing ambience right by the water, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. However, the breakfast options could use improvement, and the surrounding beach options weren't the best as they required travel. Overall, it was a lovely stay with a few small drawbacks.

My stay at BijBlauw was delightful, with a stunning sea view and a chic atmosphere in the Pietermaai district. The room was spacious and kept impeccably clean, and the staff made me feel welcome throughout my visit. However, the lack of soundproofing and some minor functional issues in the well-designed suite may be a concern for light sleepers. Overall, it's a fantastic boutique hotel for anyone looking to explore Curaçao's vibrant vibes.

The hotel has a lovely atmosphere with extremely kind and hardworking staff who always greet you with a smile. However, the bed situation was uncomfortable due to the two twin beds pushed together, and the lack of a real pool was disappointing. It's a clean and safe place for a short stay, but amenities are lacking compared to other options.

Dining was available at the restaurant, but the pool was just a decorative feature that wasn't functional.
