Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Wife and I spent five days in unit 10A. This unit was an ocean front property with an outside patio area both downstairs and upstairs. Beautiful views! Clean unit with kitchenette and two bathrooms. Community pool was just steps away and very relaxing. Playa Lagun beach was just a five minute walk away where you could snorkel from the beach. Very nice tropical fish population and reefs scattered throughout the cove. Residents of the resort had free access to beach chairs. Nearby were two restaurants, also five minutes away. Parking was free and gated. The value you get for renting here is the best in my opinion. I highly recommend and will be returning again.

We had visited Lagun Beach in December and noticed the buildings on the cliff above the bay so when we extended our stay in Curaçao booked six nights at Lagoon. Had an ocean view and listened to the waves, felt the cool breezes, watched the birds fly past, and watched the iguanas crawl along the stone walls. A lovely setting and a basic but comfortable apartment with a usable kitchen and two terraces. Spent one flip flop day where between walking to the nearby restaurant and down the stairs to the beach I only wore flip flops when I wasn’t bare foot. Did I mention the beautiful sunsets

A greatly located hideaway close to decent beach and restaurant. Lot’s of Iguanas and sometimes you can spot two turtles of your porch - as long as you book lagoon-side Appartement. Nice people, too, and garden in good shape!

Beware!!! We went to Curacao thinking it was a great place to be on a holiday, is an amazing place with a really nice natural environment, diving and hiking on the island is great but to be honest our visit to Curacao turn to be one of the worst vacation ever, after three days on unit 6B while we were sleeping at night someone broke into our apartment and stole all our valuables, someone raid our bags and stolen our laptop, iPads, cellphones, dive computers and all the cash we brought to the island, even some shopping we did on that day was stolen. After this we were just waiting to left Curacao and return to our country, we had no money and every night was a nightmare waiting for someone to get into our apartment again, we felt really vulnerable, this property has minimum security and this burglars are professional they knew how to open locked doors and get into the property, the owners need to take care of this situation and be accountable of their lack of security, they don't have insurance, not cameras, not safe, not strong locks. We payed the rent of the property and with all our valuables stolen we feel like the tourist has everything to loose, the owner apologized for the inconvenience but says they are not liable, owners just take your money and just turn back , is this what you deserved after your vacation is broken into pieces? I want all who are willing to visit this property to be aware of the situation, beware and keep your valuables very well hidden or locked in a really secure place, have your own global insurance and be sure the land lord has the appropriate insurance for the property. If I knew this could happen just stayed in other place. I feel sorry for Curacao, Please do not take any risk.

My husband and I stayed at unit G (Unit 13) called Sea Star at Lagoon Ocean Resort in Curacao. It was the corner unit with a panoramic view and private entry down the cliff to the ocean.
Even though it was the most expensive rental in the complex, it was totally worth it. For that price, we enjoyed the best sunset view and the only private entrance to the ocean in the complex. I just jumped into the ocean and snorkeled in paradise. There were lots of fish and live coral right in front of the villa, and it was a very short swim to the lagoon and the beach where the snorkeling was amazing. I took lots of beautiful video and pics with my waterproof camera. I even saw an octopus, and turtle but too bad didn't bring my camera that time.
I brought my own fishing rods, and fished from the private deck, chatted with fishermen passing by and they even gave me some free bait to use. They have a bbq that you can cook your own catch, but we couldn't be bothered and just released back to the ocean. It was for the fun of it. The fishermen anchored their boats not too far from the villa and you can buy their fresh catch at the beach when they return.
As for the villa itself, here are some pros and cons: Pros: 1. Perfect location! I love the short walk to the beach and the restaurant. Drivable to many beaches. Free parking is convenient. 2. Private cliffside entry to ocean! I booked unit 13 for the private entry to the ocean. The different tiered decks were perfect for fishing and diving into the ocean for snorkelling. It was swimmable to the lagoon and the ocean side was calm without waves. 3. Snorkelling was amazing! Even better than my trips to Tahiti and the Great Barrier Reef, and just outside my villa! 4. Beautiful setting! The villa was perfect for just the two of us, lots of inside and outside space, and different shaded and open areas for enjoying the gorgeous sunset and breathtaking ocean view. There were many private nooks where we could relax and feeling that we were the only ones on the island. 5. The unit's kitchen was sufficiently stocked. We only made breakfast there but other families can probably cook lunch and dinner there. BBQ was available, though we didn't use it. Very convenient. 6. Unit was nicely decorated and clean. 7. Gated compound. It felt safe staying here. 8. Service was great...from check in, to towel change, check out. All smooth and efficient.
Cons: 1. Couple of the faucets were broken and needed to be opened in a special way. 2. Venting in master ensuite was poor 3. Keys were missing or not working for some patio doors. Some screens were missing or stuck. 4. Pool table shown on listing photo was missing
This turned out to be one of my most favourable sun and sand trip, and ranks all the way up there with Tahiti. With a much shorter flight from Canada to Curacao than the Oceania islands, I will definitely be back soon!

We stayed at an AirBnB apartment in Lagun Ocean Resort for 9 nights in November, and had a truly memorable stay - one of our best ever, and we have literally travelled the world and stayed in all kinds of places.
Ours was a full-on ocean view facing due West, and the views were absolutely stunning. Absolutely NOTHING to obstruct the view all the way to the horizon. The apartments on either side of us were empty at that time, and it felt like we were the only people on earth for most of the time.
The resort itself is moderately sized, built around a large clean pool, on the North side of Lagun "bay". It is about a half-hour drive from Willemstad and although there's a bus service it's not frequent, and you will need to rent a car if you plan to go anywhere.
The bay is breathtakingly beautiful, both above and below the water. But the water, at least when we were there, is crystal clear and we could easily see maybe 50 feet in any direction once a little way out from the shore. As for the coral in the bay, and the variety and number of incredible tropical fish are like nothing I have ever seen in some of the world's best snorkeling spots. But you do need to go out maybe 100 feet from shore to see the good stuff, though large and colorful fish - including turtles - come incredibly close to shore despite people wading all around.
We tried out the nearby beaches of Jeremi and Kleine Knip, and while both have bigger wider and sandier beaches than Lagun, the snorkeling in either of them is nowhere as good. Nowhere near as much coral or fish life.
The resort has beautiful landscaping, is very well maintained, and had the appearances of being very secure including non-duplicatable keys, and CCTV cameras. The place is clean tidy and neat.
Next door is the clifftop Bahia Restaurant, which we ate and drank at numerous times. Really excellent food and drinks, personable multilingual staff, and no more expensive that what you'd pay back at home, but with an amazing view, and occasional visits by both kittens and iguanas.
Only negative comment would be the WiFi, which was very slow and intermittent. Although there are 4 or 5 base stations distributed around the resort, at any given time several would be inaccessible or unresponsive, and one of them never worked the entire time. We found ourselves going over to the Bahia Restaurant when we absolutely needed to get online, where the (free) connection was strong and fast all the time. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it's probably a combination of inadequate bandwidth, and a lot of people trying to get online round the clock. Fast reliable internet access is becoming as important to guests as water and electricity. We wouldn't accept dirty water or inconsistent electricity, and in the very near future people won't accept spotty internet service either.
We chose Lagun Ocean Resort after looking at probably EVERY SINGLE RENTAL PROPERTY on the whole island, especially those with an ocean view (which is important to us) and we are very glad to report we made the right decision. If we ever come back to Curacao (and we almost certainly will) we won't bother looking anywhere else.

I've been going to Lagoon Ocean Resort for about 10 years now. The ocean views are absolutely beautiful and the snorkeling is amazing. Unfortunately, the property needs a lot of repairs and updating. But, before I point out the negatives, let me share with you some of the positives.
The onsite restaurant offers delicious food and drinks. Prices are reasonable, too. The staff that work there are super friendly. It also offers more of those beautiful ocean views Curaçao is known for. Do make it a point to dine there at least one night.
Location is in a quiet residential neighborhood. It's about a 45 minute drive from the airport and a car is required.
AC works wonderfully and is refreshing after spending the day out in the water. But just remember, the AC usage you have to pay for when you leave. It's not free.
Now as far as the rental units, that's where improvements are desperately needed. Microwave was broke and not working. Pots and pans were all scratched up with not much nonstick surface left. Sliding glass doors are hard to pull and the screens fall off when trying to move them. One of the lounge chairs had a broken leg making it unusable. Furniture is old. There is no cable with the TV and you probably can only get 1 or 2 channels with poor reception. There is only one local radio station that comes in on the radio, but it's mostly all talk. Neighboring residents are not friendly and always give you a frown even when you try to say HI. Grill is ready to fall apart any minute it's so rusty making it unthinkable to have a cookout. People snorkeling keep coming onto your property like it's their own using your space as a diving platform. Lights are burnt out and bulbs are never replaced. Gate lock to your deck is broke and anyone can enter your property whenever they choose. If you mention any of the problems to the manager, Peter, he's grumpy and offers little assistance. Instead of fessing up and admitting that things are getting old and worn out, he blames you for breaking them. The ladder to climb up and out of the ocean must have been destroyed during a storm, but never replaced making it impossible to get out of the water. You can see the ladder on the bottom of the ocean if you look down while snorkeling. Now they were kind enough to attached a rope to pull yourself up and out of the water, but even I couldn't do it and I'm in good shape. Instead, you got to swim to the beach and take the long walk around the property to get back to your room. The gate access to leave the property by car was broke meaning you had to get out of your car, open the gate with your hands, drive through, stop again and exit your car to close the gate. That really left me feeling unsafe and unsecure on the property. I didn't like that feeling knowing I was in a foreign country and was leaving behind valuables in our unit. Let's not mention the responsibility for a car rental I had! For the price you pay to stay here, you would think they'd invest some of that money and do some real repairs. But, they don't. Yes, there's a great view from your unit, but the views are free anywhere on the island.
And before you think about making a reservation, look at the cancelation policy! Anything up to 60 days prior to arrival and the fee is 25% of the cost of your entire stay. That means pretty much all of your 33% deposit won't be refunded. Pandemic or no pandemic. Death in the family. You name it. There's no exceptions. Anything less than 60 days and the percentage goes even higher depending on the days it is prior to arrival. Just make sure you think things out before booking at this place. It could end up costing you a huge chunk of money to cancel in the long run.
Like I said, I've always loved this place for its views and snorkeling. But the way this property is being managed and falling into disrepair, it's just not enjoyable anymore. This was and will be my last stay at this place.

We did spend here 4 days The location is great, the lagoon beach is a little paradise and great for snorkeling and diving. We did rent the 3 bedroom single home, the views of the ocean are amazing, especially from the top floor balcony. The presence of coconut trees and iguanas on the back yard is a very nice addition that makes the atmosphere natural and peaceful.
Seven minutes drive north you have Grote Knip beach which is probably the best beach in Curacao, another little white sands paradise.
No real grocery stores nearby so a car is a must. There is a restaurant/bar next to the resort but we did not try it.
We don't like to repeat but certainly we would stay there again if needed.

We stayed at Lagoon Ocean Resort for 2 weeks in Apt.8C. Apt is on the second floor overlooking pool area and part of the sea. Place is in 2 minute walking distance from Playa Lagun so you can swim every morning without driving first. But still for best beaches you need to drive. A rental car is a must here if you want to do sightseeing, good grocery shopping and gas stations. The Apt itself is good and simple. Don't expect smth extraordinary, but it has all the basic things you need: cooking, washing dishes, a/c. In our apt, a/c was only in the bedroom so cooking in the kitchen sometimes was really difficult cause it gets super hot. The pool is nice, but smells of chlorine. Also in the Apt we killed several cockroaches sometimes even in the dishes. This is needs to be addressed. Otherwise, this looks like a nice safe and calm place to relax and spend your vac. But keep in mind, that if you're staying here, rental car will be needed. Oh yeah, WiFi is available, but sometimes really spotty. For stable connection you'll have to go to the pool area.

This is a hard review to write because the location and atmosphere of this resort are great. We stayed in "type c" #12B which had a full bath/ living room / kitchen / dining area and patio downstairs and a bedroom / bath/ deck upstairs. The condo was roomy enough and sits right on a cliff overlooking the water with picturesque flowers and palms along the stone wall. For morning coffee there is no better location!
The pool area is nice and relaxing with some shade. The location in Lagun on the western side of the island is quiet and out of the way with decent access via car to several beaches within a 15 minute drive. The resort overlooks Playa Lagun which is convenient and has decent snorkeling. There is a restaurant - Bahia Cafe(?) - at the adjoining property and a beach bar down the hill which is open until 5 most days and has some sort of a dinner two nights per week. There are several restaurants open for dinner in Westpunt with a 15 minute drive: we loved Sol Food and Trio Pennotti.
The downside: our condo was definitely spartan and a bit worn in its accommodations but the condo had the basic items we needed.
There is air conditioning on each floor which is on a meter: you pay for what you use. With the doors open and the breeze we ended up only using the a/c on low at night in the bedroom. The bedroom set up is very euro: two twin beds pushed together. The pillows were rather worn/flat and the beds were very hard and uncomfortable.
The kitchen has enough to manage basic cooking and had a decent size refrigerator. There were coffee filters but absolutely NO other food type items you might expect in a vacation condo like salt/pepper, sugar, left over spices, etc. Get them at the Centrum in town before heading out to this end of the island because there is little in the way of reliable modern grocery stores out here. (By reliable I mean that the hours and contents seem to be hit or miss.)
There are no beach towels at the resort. Be sure to pack your own or buy some I town because while SOME of the beaches rent chairs, I did not see a beach that rented towels and the bath towels are not to be taken to the beach. (Toilet paper and general towel service/linens are refreshed every couple of days).
The condo was relatively clean but the floors had dirty grout (the wooden rod for the sliding glass door was coated in black greasy grime so use a napkin or something if you don't want grease on your fingers) and the shower had some mold /mildew on the curtain, tile etc. The small amount of mildew in the bath didn't bother me (it's a very warm island environment, so I expect ants, a little mold etc) but I can see where some people might find that unacceptable.
NOTE: For the price this is a great deal but the condo we were in was not what one would consider "luxe" so if that is what you are looking for you'd be better served at other accommodations. Stay here if you want a moderately priced, beautiful & safe location with friendly people, relaxed non-touristy atmosphere and good access to beaches, snorkeling and diving.
Overall this is a good place to stay and we likely will stay here again when we visit, but the lack of execution on some of the little touches keep this from being a 4 star location in my opinion.
