Great stay
We had a group of 11 people and the Villa Grandi was perfect. We all had plenty of our own private space while easily being able to gather together in shared spaces. The property was very clean and the salt water pool was perfect. The only thing I would mention is that some standard household things weren’t included such as hand soap, toilet paper and shower essentials. It wasn’t a big deal for us since the property is centrally located to shops. We loved being able to easily walk around the city. We’re glad to have chosen the Villa Grandi for our Curacao stay.

Incredible space and hosts!
I stayed here with a group of friends for a week over New Years. We had an incredible stay. The accommodations were as advertised, very clean and modern. The AC works great and the rooms and decor are very cute. The hosts are very communicative and helpful and the check in process was very smooth. Highly recommend!
