Outdoor Space & Pools: • Private Deck: The apartment features a spacious deck with sunbeds and a large dining table. Situated higher than the road and surrounded by lush landscaping, it offers a great deal of privacy and beautiful sea views. • Communal Pool: A shared pool is just steps away from the apartment, providing easy access for a refreshing swim while ensuring privacy as it is shared among only 12 apartments. • Papagayo Beach Hotel Pools: A larger pool, as well as sun loungers, are available at the Papagayo Beach Hotel, located just a 5-6 minute walk from the apartment. This is for the use of guests from both Boca Gentil Resort and Papagayo Beach Hotel at no additional cost. • Children’s Pool: A walk-in saltwater pool, ideal for children, is located right on the beach just beyond the Papagayo Beach Hotel pool, with a small charge for sunbed rentals.
Beach & Activities: • Jan Thiel Beach: The nearest beach, just a 5-6 minute walk away, is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and diving. • Dining & Shopping: The beach area features a range of restaurants, from the affordable Zanzibar to more upscale options. You’ll also find a grocery store, dive shops, car rental agencies, a spa, and a casino along the beach. The laid-back Brisa Do Mar (Pop’s Place) offers delicious local fish dishes on nearby Caracasbaai Beach. • Fitness & Wellness: A modern gym and sauna, The Challenge Sports & Health Club, is a 5-6 minute walk away. It offers daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly memberships (fees apply). • Outdoor Adventures: Explore the nearby Caracasbaai and Spanish Water bays for sailing, windsurfing, and kayaking. History lovers will enjoy visiting Fort Beekenburg and the Quarantine Building, dating back to the 1700s and 1800s. The Jan Thiel Nature Reserve, with its birdwatching opportunities and scenic trails, is also nearby. Buggies and quads are available for rent for those seeking more adventure.
Additional Amenities & Information: • Utilities & Rates: Rates include all water usage and up to 40 kWh of electricity per day, with any excess being calculated at $0.48 CAD per KwH, which would be charged separately. Most guests do not exceed this limit if air conditioning is used responsibly, and not left on day and night. • Parking: There is one parking spot available for our guests at the Bayside parking lot on the west side of the property. You may park your car directly in front of the garage door marked with the number 2. Please be sure to park only in this designated space and avoid parking in front of any of the other numbered garages. Alternatively, you can also park for short periods on the street directly in front of the property, but please be sure not to block traffic. • Safety Tip: If you plan on swimming in the ocean, it’s recommended to wear water shoes as rocks, coral, and sea urchins can pose a risk depending on where you enter the water.
Local Tips: • Grocery Stores: Van Den Tweel, an Albert Heijn store, is just a 5-6 minute walk away, but if you have a car, the Vreugdenhil store offers better prices and is a 10-minute drive away. • Mosquito Repellant: It’s a good idea to bring mosquito repellant, especially during certain seasons. • Electricity Adaptors/Converters: The apartment uses 220V with European-style plugs (2 round prongs). If you’re coming from North America, you may need an adapter or voltage converter. Most phone chargers are dual-voltage (110V and 220V) and only require an adapter, but it’s good to check the specifications on your chargers. A converter and a 110V power strip are available in the living room.
We look forward to welcoming you to TaBode of Dreams!

Location was good, the beach’s along distance was nice. Apartment itself was as described & had basic needs. Great view from lanai. On site parking. Would recommend.
We rented this property with my children's Dutch Oma so we could spend a week together. The weather was perfect, the unit was nicely sized so that we did not feel cramped and there was plenty to do with in walking distance. I felt safe letting my teens explore on their own. Everyone was extremely friendly and the food and drinks at the nearby restaurants were delicious.
The pictures don't do this fantastic location justice. The apartment is on the first floor, absolutely gorgeous with spectacular ocean views. The apartment is well-appointed, with all the amenities you may need while on vacation. It's also within walking distance of many fabulous restaurants and activities. We will definitely be coming back.
The property was more beautiful than depicted in the fotos.. family reunion with 6 of us staying comfortably .. under 10 min walk to the Jan thiel beach with lots of amenities. Pink Beheer property management was extremely attentive when needed. Owner Berge also very responsive and helpful.
The property is beautiful and in an amazing location. I felt very safe there. Fun to see the wildlife in and out including birds and geckos. Boats coming and going from the island. We had everything we needed to make all our food there. We would recommend the grocery store about 10 mins away for better prices than the local one but nonetheless it was very convenient having one within walking distance.

Dushi house!!Loved it!!! More amazing than the photos!
We absolutely loved this home! So comfortable and extremely relaxed. Walked to the beach everyday and grocery store. Monde was so nice and helpful when we arrived. She guided us to the house as we were lost coming from the airport. Only need the AC at night, so don’t let that detour you from staying at this home.
We will be back for sure!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
This is a beautiful property but very poorly maintained
They knew about a broken window two of them.as a matter fact, prior to our arrival. Also, this place is only air conditioned in the bedrooms, not in any other part of the house, and it is very hot. So you are responsible if you go over a certain energy limit and with Broken windows that meant we had to turn off all air every time we left. Also no dryer when things are so humid! Only a washer. Bring your own detergent. Very lightly equipped kitchen. Nothing extra.

Boca Gentil, Popagayo Beach Casa Vandernak
We were very pleased when we arrived. The property exceeded our expectations as it was bigger than anticipated and fit into the surroundings perfectly. We were thrilled with the outstanding landscaping surrounding the entire Boca Gentil properties. This landscaping was impeccable as were the buildings and villas within the gates.
The property came with all amenities many more than needed and I was thrilled to find coffee available in the kitchen suitable for the machine provided (I did replace it). The owners and managers were the perfect hosts insuring our satisfaction from the time we left to the time we returned.
The surrounding area was second to none and every bit as beautiful as anywhere I have been in the past. Popagayo Beach the shops and Jan Thiel met and exceeded our hope as well. The beach and facilities were everything anyone could have expected. We were so pleased to find Zanzibar the restaurant at Jan Thiel beach attached to Popagayo beach allowing us to relax and enjoy a drink and very reasonable meal. The location of the Zanzibar restaurant was very handy when coming off the local bus being immediately below the stop. This provided much needed rehydration after a day of exploring the local Town.
We made use of the local bus because there were two stops only minutes from the gate to Boca Gentil. The fare of 1.70 Gilders didn't dissuade us and the ride was actually fun. When I arrived in Willemstad and walked throughout Punda I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The colourful stores and narrow streets made me feel very at home especially when I found the only MacDonald Cafe'. The Iguana Café turned into our favourite rest stop while in Punda. It offered good food and libations while you watched the swing bridge open and close. We both found it a very interesting old fort town with much to offer.
We stayed for a week and by the time we came home we were discussing our next visit to Curacao and the Villa at Boca Gentil. It was perfect!
Le condo est super beau, propre, élégant, le patio extérieur Wow! Les couchers de soleil fantastique
La gérance de Pink 100% disponible en tout temps
N hésitez pas à réserver cet endroit magnifique
Près de toute les commodités, épicerie, club de plage

2nd year in a row at this great place in Boca Gentil - love the view from the terrace, closeness to Jan Thiel beach area, grocery store, bars and restaurants etc -
We had a wonderful experience. The communication with the managers was wonderful. The location of the apartment was perfect. Within walking distance of beaches, restaurants, shopping, casinos, and anything else we could possibly need!
It all start with great communication even before we arrive and when we arrive Manon was waiting for us in this beautiful appartment. It is very clean, spacious, comfortable with everything in the house what you need. We didn't mis the clothes dryer ;) In the morning it is very nice waking up with the lovely birds in front of the house. Walking distance of very nice beach cafe/restaurant Zest with very nice staff and food. The older kids love to go to Zanzibar on Saturdayevening. Thank you very much that we could stay in this perfect house. We love to come back soon.
The spacious home is in a quiet part of a gated community. Beach clubs, bars, restaurants and a great supermarket were all in short walking distance.
The house has plenty of kitchenware and gadgets along with a grill outside.
The air-conditioning was almost never needed as the cross breeze through the house is amazing.
We would be excited to stay again. The place was as described but the photos do it no justice! It was everything we hoped for.

Safe peaceful beautiful
The area is an oasis . Fabulous restaurants everywhere .beautiful beaches . Renting a car is essential as public transit is inconsistant .
Suggest you meet Jaanchie at Westpunt for a warm welcome and a unique meal .
Our Boca Gentil Appartment was spacious and well equipped but kitchen and master bathroom badly need more air circulation.
We stayed for a month and know are way around this maze of roads fairly well . We always felt very safe here .
We will be back .

Lovley place!
We had a great time in Jan Thiel and staying at Boca Gentil. Everything was clean and organized, with environmentally friendly features. like recycling, using filtered ocean water. They also had a mosquito trap built in on the deck. Supermarket is in with walking distance with reasonable prices, and bus stop outside the gated community. Our own pool and lounge chars at the beach. The restaurants was very good, with a very well rounded options, plus take out pizza and sushi places. A marina where you can take boat tours from and bus tours comes right to your property, and a rental car agency. we will defiantly come back and stay at this property, check in and check out was very smooth and we could stay until 1pm on check out since we had a late flight. Beds was very comfy, the kitchen had everything you needed.

Wonderful Stay
Our stay at this villa was nearly perfect! I would actually give it 4 1/2 stars if possible. The house was quite comfortable. We loved the open air concept, and the breeze blowing through made the AC units unnecessary! We walked to the gym and grocery store every morning and then down to the beach in the afternoons. Jan Thiel Beach was beautiful and not crowded at all which was a concern. The only things that would have made the house absolutely perfect, were more updated bathrooms and a clothes dryer. Although it sounds as if dryers are not available in many homes due to the cost of electricity. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Curacao

Boca Gentil is a beautiful location in Curacao
The condo was clean, well equipped with wonderful beds and linens. We were met by management who answered all our questions. Our condo was within walking distance of the beach, bars, and restaurants all of which were amazing! We will definitely come back.
