Excellent chef, great food, very friendly service in general. Breakfast service slow. From times impolite. Room service excellent, resort facilities excellent. Check-out procedures much room to improve. Several mistakes in invoice. Overall impression very good!

Baoase Luxury Resort is hands down THE MOST amazing place to enjoy a couples romantic getaway or like what we did, celebrate our honeymoon. It truly was luxurious with its beautiful private beaches, white sand and crystal clear water great for snorkel just outside the lagoon. The staff were very helpful and professional, they felt like family by the end of our trip. The food was better than any other food I have had the room was magnificent with our own private pool and beach

Pro-tip: gluten-free or dairy-free visitors beware (more on that later) The property itself was quite small; but in an intimate, cozy way. Cabs to and from their downtown area are $15 USD each way, so it didn’t make much economic sense for us to venture out to try different restaurants outside the resort. Overall: Absolutely beautiful resort, clean showers and rooms, with hit-or-miss inconsistent service. Unfortunately because of that last factor, I wouldn’t feel comfortable visiting again given how much we paid. The most disappointing factor was their negligence of our food allergies and preferences. My partner and I specifically requested gluten and dairy-free options to be made available; especially since we were there to celebrate my birthday (and I have a gluten allergy). I included this in their welcoming survey, as well as a follow-up email. The wait staff was completely clueless and uninterested in what we could have. As one example, the first night we got there was my birthday -and I wasn’t able to enjoy a dessert that matched my preferences. The waitress had spoken to the kitchen staff (upon me insisting she ask) only to come back with “they don’t know and aren’t sure if you can have ANYTHING on the dessert menu.” Not only do they lack understanding of their own menu, unless you specifically ask and insist for them to try and tweak something to be made without gluten or dairy… Don’t expect anyone to go above and beyond to accommodate for your needs. Shameful.

Truly unique and amazing Caribbean experience in Curacao. This top-notch resort is perfect for a romantic getaway. We stayed at a beautiful, well maintained villa with private pool and open air shower & bath created by a professional hotelier for his family and friends. Very close to Willemstad, excellent beachfront restaurant & bar on the property, short drive to other wonderful restaurants in the area.

Beautiful boutique resort with great service and attention to detail! We had an amazing week long stay at the Baoase! The property is beautiful and like a Southeast Asian Oasis. Small and secluded which was perfect for us, with great rooms/villas, good food, nice beach and very attentive service. It was really all the little things that added up to a big luxury feel. Check in takes 5 minutes over an iPad in your room. The rooms are equipped with Sonos speakers, big patios. The beach is not huge because the property is not bit but that also leaves plenty of open beach chairs for everyone. We even alternated between sitting in the sun and in a cabana and there were lots of chairs (half the villas have a private beach and pool so they don’t even use the “main” beach). And the lounge chairs were plush and super comfy The beach itself was perfect. They built a small island a bit out of the water that allowed for more chairs and lounging but also broke all the waves and allowed for a peaceful and private swimming area. And they bring you little snacks of the day in the morning and afternoon which was a pleasant little surprise. Service was great too, lots of beach butlers brining you whatever you need. It’s a small family run place so management is always there and very accommodating. We highly recommend the Baoase!!

The hotel itself was absolutely beautiful. The nicest place I have stayed by far. If you are looking to disappear (movie star style) this is the place for you. On the other hand the drinks were expensive for what you got and for the amount of money spent on the resort stay itself. Breakfast was included and was amazing. Lunch was also not included and seemed expensive. Dinner was very good and priced high but the quality was worth the price. If you have money to burn and want an amazing getaway this is the place for you but honestly I would not spend the money again to stay here.

Not very private. Rooms right on top of each other. "Private Island" vey misleading. No wifi on the beach, no music, no shoes allowed in room. Ive never seen anything like it. Very clean and nice, but not very welcoming. Key card didn't work on first attempt ever but when I reported this, the management didn't believe us! Jacuzzi didn't work upon our arrival. Was turned off and when staff came to turn it on I was told it has been shut off because it rained the day before. Total nonsense and an insult to my intelligence. The jacuzzi would be damaged by water? Yeah, no. I wish they would have simply apologized for the oversight but instead they made excuses. The food was also overworked and overpriced. Fail on all fronts.

The experience starts before you leave
Baoase sends you a note with questions about your stay; preferences, allergies and what you want to do while you are there, and you are set up to just enjoy once you are there. Once you are there it is common for the staff to stop by and chat with us and ask if there was anything we needed. They do aim to please. The staff arranged an island trip with Carlos and he showed the island with the love he feels for it. Swimming with turtles was so amazing! The purpose of our visit was to celebrate my best friend’s birthday and they went out of their way to make it special with balloons, cake for breakfast and the staff’s well wishes. We stayed in an ocean front beach suite and it was incredible. We had our own plunge pool, direct access to the beach and an outdoor kitchen area all very private and hidden behind lush palm trees and greenery. The private outdoor shower in the back was gorgeous and so was the bed and the bathroom sinks. There are multiple cabanas and enough for everyone, so you don't need to reserve one. The beach butlers offered small snacks everyday along with fresh coconuts, fruit smoothies, etc. They are attentive without being bothersome.

Gorgeous hotel with relaxing atmosphere!
We stayed at Baoase for Memorial Day weekend and brought our infant with us. It was the most beautiful and serene experience that we have had in a long time. The property is absolutely gorgeous and all of the staff are top-notch professionals with grace and care. We will make this location an annual family trip! It doesn't get better than this and we have been all over the Caribbean! Jessie is an awesome General Manager too!

The ultimate luxury experience!
While at first I was not thrilled about the lack of an open beach but rather a lagoon, I was soon wowed with the opulent room and phenomenal staff. Every detail was attended to with a smile and precision. I’ve traveled throughout the Caribbean and have not stayed in a better resort. Definitely treat yourself to a massage. It was the best I have ever had. I’ll definitely be back!
