I have been home for a week now back to a very cold wales. Having time to reflect on the absolutely amazing fantastic holiday we had in Curaçao. The hotel was absolutely spot on and there are no words to explain how lovely the atmosphere and staff were at this amazing hotel. From the manager to the door men and everyone in between. From checking in with Michaelangelo who was the most helpful check in person I have ever met. To the waiters and waitresses dining room staff room maids chefs including Ruth , Angela, Saheerah,Tasha in the main building to name just a few. To Meri Day in the Five a clock Bar who was the best bartender in the world. The infinity pool was a masterpiece of beauty and chill factor where Adi my partner spent many hours topping her tan and listening to live music at sunset. The cruise liners pulled up alongside the hotel for a reason. The shopping centre and old fort attached to the hotel were among the best shopping outlets on the island and a short walk from downtown Punda across the floating bridge. The small but elegant boutiques were a shopping haven. The manager we had the pleasure of meeting on a number of occasions name was Herbert Castillo what a switched on motivated character Herbert was always busy but stopped at nothing to make sure our holiday was the BEST EVER well let me tell you something he alongside all of the staff at renaissance wind creek Curaçao succeeded in fact went beyond the call of duty. So in the local tounge of Papiamento Masha Danki your hotel and island is HOPI DUSHI. We will definitely be returning sooner rather than later and you should all be very proud of your fantastic hospitality once again Masha Danki. Yours Truly Gareth Williams the man who can speak the beautiful language of Papiamento.

very kind people! they are always taking care of there costumers. The hotel is in the city center of curacao near to al the shopping area and also best restaurants are in the area. The food it self in the hotel is really good .... the beach of the hotel is pefect. and great people are working in the hotel.

Goed hotel, prima centraal gelegen, vlak bij Mall Rif Fort, view op aankomende en vertrekkende cruise schepen. Infinity pool is super. Doorman Alexis, he is really the man! Zahyra from the early breakfast shift, she should be promoted to manager restaurant.

You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay at this hotel. Everything about this hotel is beautiful and I could not ask for more. The staff were amazing from the moment we arrived. Alexis at the door and Mr. Piet at the bar, the people at the check in desk, the hostesses at the main restaurant near the lobby were all friendly and went out of their way for us. They have a Starbucks inside the building. The ocean view from our room was amazing. The room had a typical beach feel to it. It was the little things that meant so much. They had robes, slippers, mouthwash, and a sewing kit. They cleaned the room every morning and returned for turn down service. The infinity pools and man-made beach next to the ocean were amazing. That area was never crowded so it was easy to get chairs and I did not see the need to go to a beach. I loved that we were able to walk to nearby shops and restaurants and experience the culture instead of just staying at the resort. I don't think the all-inclusive is worth it because they have so many other dining options nearby. We had some meals on the property and had others off property. We even had Subway one day for lunch. We did not rent a car. Staying in the Rif Fort area was enough adventure for us. We even went to a museum. The next time we visit Curacao, we will stay at Renaissance Windreek but we will rent a car to see more of the island. Taxis are really expensive, $30 to $35 per ride.

The setting is perfect. The beach is exactly as featured in the photographs, right on the entrance to the Cut in Willemstad. It is surprisingly long...a few lengths are quite a work out. It was uncrowded when I visited and relaxing. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Where this place lets itself down is the catering. The bar was screening American kick boxing, which is not very appropriate in such a venue. The music was very loud all the time. You had to keep asking the bar tender for a drink, the service was not very forthcoming. The buffet menu was OK, breakfast not bad, but the evening a la carte meal very expensive and disappointing. I ordered a glass of wine which arrived half way through my steak, which was tough and fatty. The ambience in the dining room, well there wasn't any. It was clinical and austere. This hotel has the potential to be one of the best on the island, but it clearly caters more for business visitors and is not a resort complex as such. Stay here by all means, but take your evening meal elsewhere.
