Fabulous relaxing experience at the Renaissance Wind Creek Curacao Resort

My wife and I stayed 5 nights from June 24-29, 2025. We loved our entire experience here. We are titanium elite members and were upgraded from the "Sea View King" room that we had selected to a room that said, "Imperial Suite, Limited Sea View." The "limited sea view" phrase turned out to be fine, as it only meant "not a 180-degree view of the ocean and a few palm branches are a little in the way." Our room (#229) still faced the ocean, and we spent hours watching it from our balcony. The cruise ship pier is just a couple of blocks along the shoreline to the west from the hotel, and you definitely see them when they come to the island. Be sure to note when cruise ships are scheduled (you can find a schedule by searching online) so that you can plan to avoid the crowds. All staff were very friendly. The concierge helped us make some plans after we arrived. The hotel offered a simple one-hour language class on Papiamentu, the local native language, which we definitely enjoyed. On the morning of Day 4, my wife felt ill, so when I went down to breakfast, my breakfast server (her name was Segraida) obtained the tea, honey and watermelon that my wife needed to help her get back on her feet. Martina, the omelet chef, and Elizabeth, another breakfast server, also went out of their way to assist us. Speaking of breakfast, the buffet breakfast is normally $32/person, but our titanium status made it free for us. It has a tropical fruit station, a smoothie bar, an omelet station, a cereal station, a sandwich station, a hot dog station, a salad station, an eggs-pancakes-and-bacon station (including the Curacao specialty pumpkin pancakes), and a fruit juice station. An attendant asks for your tea/coffee preference when you arrive. The island's beaches are anywhere from 25-45 minutes drive away, but the hotel's artificial beach and infinity salt pool gave us a great "beach on the ocean experience!" It was so pleasant to relax in a lounger on the hotel's sand beach with a drink from the pool bar. We also enjoyed walking and swimming in the salt water pool, which is quite large, has a sandy bottom, and get to be around 7 feet deep at the most. Be careful about trying to hang onto any of the three pool sides, as the walls under the water are not treated/smoothed out and can prick your feet or legs. There is also a smaller freshwater pool that we did not try. We ordered and received a 90-minute couple's massage at the spa associated with the hotel. We chose to have them inside the spa instead of outdoor at poolside (which is also an option - if you're not too skittish about your privacy and hearing other guests close by, being able to hear the waves while getting your massage might be very pleasing). Please be sure to confirm with your therapist exactly what kind of massage you would like. Next, even after the massage has started, feel free to redirect what your massage therapist is doing in case it's too soft, too hard, or not addressing the areas that you would like. My therapist, Shermaine, was fabulous. Her hands carried a wonderful energy that accompanied their movements, and I felt so relaxed and calm at the end. Our doormen, Alexis and Miguel, greeted us warmly every time we departed the hotel in the morning and came back in the evening. We did not use the casino. Right across the street from the hotel is a free, 5-floor parking garage. So you can rent a car at the airport without fear of being charged for parking at the hotel. There is also a "Smart Wheels" car rental place in the same building as the parking garage in case you need a one-day or other shorter-term car rental. There are many shops and restaurant within a few minutes walk of the Renaissance. Many shops are in the same block, and other shops as well as restaurants are in the "Fort Rif" complex just adjacent to the hotel. We ate at Ocean House 19 multiple times, and we bought a few things at the Delft shop. The hotel is just six minutes walk from the portable pontoon Queen Emma bridge that crosses from the Otrabanda neighborhood over to the Punda neighborhood. One odd thing about room 229: the large jetted bathtub gets its hot water from the cold faucet, and the cold water from the hot faucet.
Anniversary in Paradise

Our arrival met with some challenges but not at the property’s fault. Once finally checked in and settled the amazing experience began. I simply couldn’t say enough about the beautiful stay we had at Renaissance Wind Creek Curacao. The Property is immaculate and maintained extremely well. Wonderful time had everyday and night. Perfect location to see just about anywhere minutes walk across the Queen Emma Bridge to Willemstad. The service was excellent and I have to send an Extra special Thank you to Tiffany & Rangeiro (Sorry not sure if spelling is correct). Both actually went above and beyond to help make our stay special and unforgettable. Renaissance Wind Creek you have two special gems there, and they both have us wanting to vacation a second time at your property treat them well as they did us.
Great place to stay. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very clean place.

This place is amazing. We arrived on Saturday the 14th of June, and we have not a bad thing to say about this place; only good things. The personnel is very friendly and accommodating. We love the salt water pool, the cleanliness, the morning buffet, and the dinner time buffet. This place is really close to downtown, and the pool is so relaxing. We definitely will be coming back to this place. Jorge, took very good care of us at the restaurant. Marlouse always with her morning smile made us feel welcome. Ruth along with Jorge made sure we our dinner time was great, Martina, fixed the best omelets, and Alexis always at the main entrance with that positive energy that characterizes him. Ashanti, Tyriq, Michelangelo, also took good care of us during our stay. Thank you guys!!
A Memorable Stay

This was our first time visiting Curaçao, and we chose to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary there. While planning the trip, I read reviews of several hotels but couldn’t make a decision—so I took a chance on the Renaissance Wind Creek, and I’m so glad I did. Located in Willemstad, downtown Curaçao, about 20 minutes from the airport, the hotel is within walking distance of everything: restaurants, shops, Plaza Bieu (where you can enjoy authentic local cuisine), and the famous Queen Emma Bridge. The hotel offers different options including room-only, bed and breakfast, and all-inclusive packages. The hallways, elevators, and rooms were always clean. There’s a man-made infinity saltwater pool as well as a regular infinity pool overlooking the ocean—both beautiful spots to relax. Amenities include an on-site restaurant, a casino near the lobby, a gym, and even an arcade for kids to enjoy. All the staff were pleasant, polite, and respectful, but I’d like to give special mention to a few individuals who made our stay exceptional. Marloes at the Nautilus Restaurant brought a smile to my face when she remembered my usual drink, despite the number of guests she sees daily. Data, a supervisor at Nautilus, taking the time to ask how we slept and where we preferred to sit for breakfast. And my favorite of all—Angelique. She is beautiful inside and out, extremely helpful, and truly made our stay unforgettable. We’ll definitely be visiting Curaçao again, and the Renaissance will absolutely be our hotel of choice.
Top notch customer service, clean and safe.

This is the place to stay! Historic area with pano views at the top of the fort. Shopping, dining, beach, spa, bars, casino, entertainment, they have it all here on the property. Downtown is in walking distance right across the bridge. We had an oceanfront suite with a huge balcony, we were very impressed with the room. Welcoming, friendly, informative and hard working staff. The best deep tissue massage I’ve ever had, Christina is unbelievable. From the buffet breakfast to our room stylist (shout out to Angelique) you won’t be disappointed with this resort!
