    Pillows were very stiff and hard, but you could ask the management office to change. Would be great if they could install a couple vending machines on site.

    The privacy of the casita. Lots of space to relax, quiet with spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. We felt safe within the compound of the resort. The back-garden was lovely and perfect place to enjoy breakfasts and evening meals.

    Cozy atmosphere, probably the best resort we experienced at the island!

    I must say that what I miss was a gas stovetop. I am a cook, I really enjoy cooking and the system in the unit is by induction which really challenges you to deal with the special pans that are required for this kind of stove. Another thing that might improve the experience is a mosquito screen net, at least on the windows. Curacao at night has its critters and mosquitos are the main ones. Another suggestion is a non-stick frying pan and a toaster.

    Malvales resort is a true gem in Curacao - we are not newbies visiting the island - it was our 10th time in paradise and the resort made it feel even better. The property is located in a very peaceful neighborhood, many other boutique hotels are found nearby. What I like most was the feeling of being completely secluded and surrounded by such an astonishing landscaping. The units are built around a gorgeous and very well-kept pool, plenty of lounge chairs and cozy sets of couches to hang out. At night the units and the pool are illuminated by a nice cozy atmosphere and in the morning my routine was having breakfast watching the hummingbirds feed from the many different flowers. Our unit was a 2-bedroom and 2-bathroom, with washing machine, dishwasher and a big fenced patio that we really appreciated. The rooms come with silent air conditionings which is a plus. The unit also offers a faucet at the entrance which is great because we were 3 divers with a lot of dive gear to wash off. It does seem a dumb thing but, in my experience, when you don’t have such simple stuff like this, you are gonna have to carry all you dive gear to wash up inside the house - showers become a mess! The unit had also plenty of dishware and everything to prepare a decent meal. I will give an extra point to the fact that spare towels are provided as well beach towels. We were welcomed by a very friendly staff and all our questions were promptly answered. Shower was excellent and despite we did not use hot water, it was really hot. The fridge was a new model, providing cold water as well ice which is really a nice thing - not having to buy tons of bottles of water. I could not describe how sad it was to leave that resort behind us to take our flight... I think this is the ideal place if you want to have a perfect vacation and recharge your energy.

    This resort is well appointed, comfortable, has a lovely pool and you can rent a car for a very reasonable price and no hassle. The hosts are nice and professional. At one point the freezer went on the fritz and within an hour it was replaced with a brand new one. Each unit has a private terrace, the bed was comfy and the water is hot. The kitchen has what you need to prepare meals, and there is a washer in the unit.

    We enjoyed staying here. The gated access was comforting.

    The lighting in the bedrooms could improve. There was no full length mirror, iron or safe. The living/kitchen space could be improved with a ceiling fan.

    The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials. The rooms were comfortable and bathrooms were very functional. The linens and pillows were nice. Very nice pool and backyard lounge area.

    Somewhat varying quality of the weekly cleaning jobs (some were good, others less so)

    Small-scale and modern resort with a lot of personal attention, well-equipped and well-maintained holiday villa with nice surroundings, quiet location close to the Jan Thiel and Caracasbaai beaches (c. 5 minute drive), nice swimming pool, very friendly hosts more than willing to go the extra mile to make sure their guests have a great stay

    Nice layout, nice neighborhood, needs AC upgrade and stop being so cheap with electricity and water.

    Rooms are way to hot need bigger AC unit. Kitchen / living room no AC and way to hot even with doors open on a windy day. They charge extra if your AC / electricity usage is to much. Even turning the AC off during the day that you're not there you will go over the amount that is allowed in the price. Not to mention that if you are taking 2 showers a day you will also go over the amount of water that you're allowed to use and will have an extra charge.

    Patio was nice Layout was nice Staff was very tentative of our arrival and any questions we may have.
