Holiday Homes in Jan Thiel

"We had originally planned to stay at an all-inclusive resort, but due to unexpected water damage, we had to make a last-minute change and booked this VRBO home instead—and honestly, it turned out to be a great experience.The house was beautiful, with a lovely pool that we really enjoyed. The atmosphere felt relaxing and private, which was a nice change of pace. Our host was absolutely wonderful—warm, welcoming, and an excellent cook! She really went above and beyond to make us feel at home.The main living area didn’t have air-conditioning, and without any fans, it did get quite hot, especially during the day, even with the breeze from the open windows and doors. We also encountered quite a few mosquitoes in the kitchen area since there aren’t any screens on the windows, which made things a bit uncomfortable at times. Each bedroom had an AC so we were comfortable at night, which is more important to us, since we spent most of the days in the pool or at the beach. The property is a 5 minute walk to Jan Theil beach which had many restaurants, shops and a grocery store. It’s a great little community with everything you need within walking distance. We had a great time and were happy with how everything turned out, especially given the last-minute change. We would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a more personal and cozy stay and we would certainly stay here again if we were to return to Curacao! "

"The resort was beautiful & located in a great spot on the island. Villa was clean & equipped with everything we needed. *Kitchen had plates, utensils, cooking supplies & even tupperware. *Dishwasher was helpful to throw everything in at the end of the day & wake up to clean dishes. *Bedrooms are wonderfully air-conditioned and comfortable! *No issues w/ noisy neighbors & plenty of parking. *Description said '1 bathroom,' but the villa had 2 full bathrooms *Fresh towels provided daily, or you could indicate using your towels more than 1 day. *Pools were great! We spent most of our time at the beaches. Papagayo's beach was a little confusing to figure out b/c each beach section is right next to the other. Cabanas are $69/pp according to 1 person. Someone else said they paid $100 for a cabana...? The beach chairs are free and worked fine for us. *Papagayo's section is a little farther from the restaurants which was ok. It was quieter and away from the DJ and crowds by the other restaurants. *Pool towels can be exchanged at the reception or @ the towel hut at the beach. *Grocery store nearby helped with buying essentials and snacks. *We drank the water straight from the sink & had no issues. *No restaurant on the resort property but plenty w/in walking distance by the beach. *Wraparound porch was lovely to relax on each night *Warning, there are def bugs both flying & crawling around the villa. It did not bother us but just a heads up. Everyone was so friendly!! "

"We had a lovely stay in Jan Thiel. It is a great area of Curacao to stay in. You can easily walk to restaurants and to the beach. The accommodation was very comfortable and spacious. Lovely pool. "

"Great place, clean! Pool and restaurant. Nice shower with the basics. 3 adult friends might have been a bit small but made it work. 2 queen beds, one is in a loft and the ladder is not easy to maneuver up and down, but doable for the right person. Great price! Also the tempura cheesecake AMAZING! "
