The pools and bars were nice, sometimes really slow. The main buffet was actually surprisingly good with a wide variety of foods. Wish the hours were a little more convenient, but it was ok. There are spots on the resort that could use some attention (missing tiles in the pool etc), but overall we had a great time.

The Mangrove Beach Corendon Curacao All-Inclusive Resort, Curio by Hilton was a beautiful hotel. The check in service needs some work. They are thorough but the process takes a long time. They say the check in time is at 4pm however if you want to make reservations for dinner it is between the hours of 6 am-8 am online or 10am -4pm in person. Reservations also cannot be made for the same day. This issue with that is, the night of your arrival you are limited to the buffet only. The tour desk and reservation desk are two separate desks/people who often times did not have someone present. Then when they were, the WiFi was down. So we were unable to book reservations or tour in person. The “app” can be navigated via browser, not via App Store. The drinks are very watered down I’m assuming because the resort is highly family friendly. The main pool was hard to get a seat because prior to breakfast opening people reserve seats with a towel and belongings and then get breakfast. So by 8am all seats are occupied, aside from the cabanas which need a reservation for a fee of course. The room was clean, they advertised room service which one would believe would be a range of options however it was 3 sandwiches only. The phone has 4 options and wait time is long so it forces you out the room. The buffet was the best part of the trip. Food was cooked well and they had a range of options. Most of the dips and sauces were not clearly labeled which may cause issues if you have any allergies

Enjoyed a great stay for a week. Every place has its pros and cons, but overall don’t hesitate to book this place if you are easy going on vacation. Drinks were great, food was typical buffet and the restaurants were yummy. Plenty of pool and beach chairs. Volleyball everyday was fun. Beach and pool are great. Room was clean and spacious. Staff was nice. Nighttime entertainment wasn’t great. The WiFi went in and out. But neither detracted from a great stay.

The property overall is pretty nice. The pool, access to the beach is really nice. The buffet restaurant food is horrible and the other 4 restaurants you need to make reservations which is almost impossible cause it gets booked quickly. So its a lose lose situation. Your better off renting a car and driving to places you will enjoy and eat. The staff is overall mediocre. They are not all friendly and kind. They could careless if you have an issue. The women in the reception area all have attitudes. I def. Would not visit that hotel again, nor Curacao.

The resort is beautiful. The rooms have tasteful decor, kept maintained. The pools were nice the kids truly enjoyed it. The beach looked beautiful though we did not go sincd the kids really liked the pool. The bar was good all inclusive resort. The only thing we were not happy with was the hotels app was not workingto make reservations. We had to go to go to the lobby to make our reservations and they were limited. Thankfully their buffet restaurants were good. They had great options, and always clean. The location of the resort is great you can walk to their downtown in 15-20 minutes and It is very safe!

The property was walkable to Willemstad that took about 10-12 minutes. We celebrated my husband's birthday from April 15-19 2026. The staff was super nice and and helpful. We stayed in building 2 which was across from the main pool and a few steps from the beach. The beach was more of a cove than an actual beach. If you want actual beachfront, this isn't the resort for you. I must say the food at the main buffet was really good with a lot of options. The staff greeted you with cold clothe and something to drink(anything you wanted). Our A/C unit in our room wasn't as cold as we liked despite turning the temperature down as far as we could. We had to keep our curtains closed all day to keep the room as cool as possible. Overall we had a good time and would come back to Curacao again. This resort is family friendly and there's no adult only option. We also experienced a lot of humidity in our room that made the room floor slick either from the shower or opening the sliding glass door which was your main entrance. That was annoying, but we managed. The room was cleaned and moped our entire stay and that was greatly appreciated.

The hotel and property itself are nice. The beach has great snorkeling and the food is good. We had belongings stolen from the luggage room. I went to report the incident at the front desk and asked to speak to the manager on duty and was told they would be in at 10am. So I went back a second time, this time they told me the manger wasn’t here yet. I went back a third time and this time they told me they couldn’t find her. This situation has not been resolved and I’m still waiting for someone to contact me. Really disappointed about how this situation was handled.

Rooms weren’t cleaned efficiently on a Daily basis. They would replenish towels and make the bed at best. The food at the Buffett was very good. The food was good in every restaurant but the service was terrible. It always felt like you were inconveniencing the staff by asking for a drink. They did a horrible job of keeping the resort clean. Dirty dishes and food was left all over the pool and beach area for the whole day. It was disgusting and ants would start to swarm making other people not want to lay on those chairs by the pool. The resort is in a good location and has potential but the staff just really needs to do a better job!

This place has potential however it’s in need of direction and proper management. It has nice architecture, a nice main pool with two side pools. The beach is private and protected by a sea break wall. Relatively clean as employees were constantly cleaning and picking up. The buffets were nice however the specialty restaurants ambiance, service and food are subpar. Think beach cabana for a Sicilian “Restaurant” or picnic tables in a hedged off area for a BBQ “restaurant”. At one, the server didn’t bring water or our drink order. After several requests, we got our own at the pool bar. It’s nearly impossible to get reservations. We were told all were completely booked as soon as the app opened. We needed a supervisors intervention to get reservations. Speaking of management, only two were willing to assist us: Ali the Bellman and Sven, a supervisor. The rest of the staff would give inaccurate or opposing answers. Check-in is 4pm - two out of three rooms for our group were not ready. Our expectations of a Hilton “resort” property were not met. While beach chairs and umbrellas were available - chairs under a Palapa were an extra charge. Night entertainment was meh. Not many activities.
My advice - make your own fun - rent a car or take an excursion. Dont rely on the Mangrove to be your all-inclusive for excitement or dining experiences.

On the outside looking in, the resort is beautiful. However, there is so much room for improvement when it comes to the overall cleanliness, support, staff friendliness, and food.

Our rooms were only cleaned once during a 4 night/3 day stay; despite multiple requests to have the rooms cleaned. Support staff and housekeeping are unavailable after 11 PM. The food was very mediocre, and options are limited. The water in the showers stopped working on the second day. Housekeeping ran out of washcloths and towels. And finally, some of the bartending staff members were extremely rude and impatient.

Overall, Curacao is a beautiful country, and I would highly recommend that everyone visit. However, based on my experience, this particular resort might not be the best option.

I traveled with a party of 8 females for my birthday, and we were all disappointed with the resort stay and staff.

I’ve traveled to five countries in the past three years, and unfortunately, this was my least favorite resort. The biggest issue was the service—staff rarely made eye contact or acknowledged us, and we often had to go out of our way to get assistance. A friendly greeting or welcoming attitude was noticeably lacking.
The resort itself was clean, and while the food was okay, it wasn’t anything memorable. The beach was also very rocky, which made it less enjoyable.
That said, this didn’t ruin our family vacation—we still made the best of it. However, based on our experience, I wouldn’t recommend this resort

We loved our March stay! The oceanfront room was beautiful and very clean. The beds were incredibly soft, and the room setup with a king and two twins worked perfectly for our family. The food was amazing — you could really tell they took time to make quality meals. The only downside was that the lines could get a little long at times, but that seemed to be because everything was made fresh. The ocean was absolutely beautiful and calm so perfect with kids. Pools were not over crowded! It was a bit windy during our stay, but overall we had a wonderful experience and would definitely come back. Make sure you pack snorkel gear or googles to see all the beautiful fish.

We recently stayed here for a family vacation and unfortunately the experience didn’t quite meet our expectations.

One of the biggest issues was the very loud nightly music, which made it difficult for our kids to sleep. After quite a bit of back and forth with management we were eventually moved to another room, which we appreciated, but the process was a hassle.

The dining system was also frustrating. Having to stand in line between 10am–4pm just to reserve dinner for the next night felt inconvenient for an all-inclusive resort. We also found the food to be average overall at best.

Our son has food allergies, which made dining stressful. At the buffet there wasn’t clear ingredient information, and even at the restaurants it was difficult to get clear answers about ingredients. Service at dinner was also extremely slow, which made the experience even more challenging with kids.

Overall, many parts of the resort, including lounge chairs and common areas felt quite dated, and most staff interactions felt somewhat unfriendly until the last couple days of our stay when we did meet a few helpful staff members.

Curaçao itself is so beautiful, but the resort experience fell short of what we were hoping.

Hi,

I went to this hotel in January of 2026. I went with a group of girls and we had a good time. The rooms were clean and well kept. However, customer service is not that great. The front desk ladies were not friendly and did not seem to have the patience to explain how to make dinner reservation, etc. There were a few people that were nice but most of the staff were not helpful. Also, the staff who work at the pool bar were very slow and did not have any custom service skills! Other than that, it was a good hotel and the buffet had decent wide ranges of food selection.

This was the most expensive trip we’ve taken in years and unfortunately the worst resort experience we’ve had. Check-in took two hours with no apology or urgency. From there, the issues continued — AC problems, inconsistent water (at times no shower or flushing toilets), key cards not working, and housekeeping leaving doors unlocked. Linens were not changed, rooms had bugs, and there is no bottled drinking water provided in the rooms.

The property itself is not well maintained. Hallways and stairwells were dirty, there were bugs in the elevators, and overall the resort feels neglected. Many “ocean view” rooms do not have an ocean view at all, and cruise ships dock directly in front of the resort blocking what little view there is.

Dining was extremely frustrating. Restaurants require reservations but were always “full,” and we secured only one reservation all week. The buffet closes daily from 2:30–7pm, leaving very limited options. One evening guests arrived for dinner at 9pm (during posted hours) and were told the buffet was closing early. For an all-inclusive resort, food access was surprisingly limited. We ended up paying to eat off property multiple times.

Service was minimal at best. Drinks at the buffet are self-serve, tables often needed to be cleaned by guests, front desk calls go unanswered, and staff were generally unfriendly and unhelpful. Adults-only areas were not enforced.

For the price paid, the lack of service, maintenance, & hospitality was unacceptable

From the time we checked in it was the most unorganized Hilton we have ever stayed at. Our whole stay was like we were invisible. We could walk up to a bar that had 3 or 4 bartenders just talking.

The room was lovely and clean. Housekeeping staff was terrific. However, the folks at the reception area were quite frankly, awful. For this to have been an Autograph Hilton property, the service was abysmal. The front desk wouldn’t even answer the phone when you needed something. Several times I saw folks on their cell phones but wouldn’t answer the business line.

Although there was a tremendously large and fresh selection of foods from all over the world in the buffet, it was just ok. Nothing special.
The system for a reservation at one of their speciality restaurants - which incidentally is only 4 (Italian, sushi, bbq and seafood), it was nearly impossible to get a reservation. We did secure a dinner in the bbq restaurant and it really was not very good. Same as the buffet.

I will say that one girl in the front desk area went above and beyond to secure an electricity converter for us (It should have been highly noted within the ad copy on Expedia that one would be needed) as we needed for a CPAP breathing machine.

This resort disappointed me so much I regretted my trip to Curacao as a result. Major disappointment!!! And, they refused to give me Hilton Honors points!

Don’t make the same mistake I did and stay here. Vacations are few and far for most of us and I hope yours isn’t a let down just because you chose this resort (which is also adjacent to the Rif, owned and operated by the same folks).

FYI… Rif is adults only. Mangrove Beach Corendon is children and adult

Good hotel with a great location. While some amenities felt a bit dated, the overall stay was pleasant, and the staff was helpful despite being busy at times.

Beautiful place , nice big room .very nice beach . There should be more staff at the bufet and they should be more polite , Almost every time we had to clean a table so we can sit and eat . But I’ll go again . We really like it .

I was hesitant about this trip given the reviews - a balanced review from my opinion:
First time to Curacao -

Hotel property and rooms were great
Liked that everything was close by (restaurants, pool, beach )
Food options were great - restaurants all outdoor vibe - some like it, some don’t - we liked it.

Please improve:
-Clarity on Rif vs Mangrove rules - never had a consistent explanation from multiple staff or a clear sign (we ate at both properties, but not sure if we are allowed to or not). Each staff we asked gave a different answer.
- all the reviews about the staff attitude/morale have merit to it. Of 4 nights there - 2 staff were kind/pleasant. The pool bar staff was especially horrendous. We felt like we were bothering them. Slow service is one thing (which it was) but it seemed like they hated their job. It wasn’t just one or two - it was all expect for one person.
- if you’re expecting happy staff that are there to make you feel welcome- not happening, unfortunately.
- don’t know if it’s the hotel or a larger issue with wages or a wider systemic problem. Since it was our first time, and I’ve never experienced this in other islands, did a bit of research on the history of the country and visited the museum. Suggest you do the same. It may give you perspective.

All said, beautiful country, but probably will not return.

We had a room with a pool on the deck. It was a very nice room. If you are looking for the kind of service you get from most Hilton resorts you can forget that. The food was ok but most of the time the buffet trays were empty.

Très déçus de notre séjour. Le personnel n’était pas souriant, à l’exception des deux filles au bar du lobby. Chaque demande semblait déranger. Nous sommes des gens respectueux et ne nous attendons pas à être servis de A à Z, mais un minimum de politesse et de bonne humeur est essentiel.
Même nos enfants ont remarqué le manque de sourire des employés, en nous demandant : « pourquoi la madame est toujours fâchée quand on demande une crème glacée en disant s’il vous plaît? »
Avant d’arriver, j’avais lu plusieurs mauvais avis concernant le staff et la nourriture. J’ai voulu donner une chance à l’hôtel en pensant que les gens exagéraient, mais malheureusement, ce n’était pas le cas.
Les installations sont en mauvais état et manquent clairement d’entretien. Les piscines et glissades d’eau semblent très vieilles et mon enfant s’est blessé sur une tuile brisée, ce qui est inacceptable.
Le prix du séjour (6 000 $ pour l’hôtel seulement) ne reflète pas du tout la qualité offerte.
La plage est petite, remplie de coraux, et les chaises sont usées. Au bar de la piscine et de la plage, très peu de variété d’alcool.
Le buffet est de très mauvaise qualité : majoritairement friture et surgelé. Nous revenions d’Aruba et Bonaire et c’est de loin la pire nourriture que nous ayons vue.
Nous avons dû louer une voiture pour manger ailleurs et découvrir de vraies plages, car rien à cet endroit ne représente le vrai Curaçao.
Nous ne recommandons pas cet hôtel.

Clean room and great welcoming packages. Only suggestion would be to not control thermostat. Room too cold at times.

This place is just ok. The grounds, pools, rooms everything is nice. Just a lack of pride in service. Which is none. Ridiculous trying to get a dinner reservation. You have to stand in line for an hour. Food is not very good either, or at all. Plus all of this costs more than a vacay anywhere else. I won’t be back.

Room was in good condition. Didn't always have water in the room which was inconvenient. Air conditioner dripped water. Some staff were less that helpful. Drink service at the pool bar was extremely slow. Dirty dishes and plates were often found around the pool.

The room had a musty smell to it. The staff at the pool bar ignored you. The staff at the Pastry bar by the lobby were wonderful.

I never write reviews. But i had to for this place. The only thing i can say was good is the food. The food was really great. Beside the food EVERYTHING else was horrible from room service, to getting towels, to being able to make reservations to the Resturant’s. I would never stay here again

Came to this resort for my BFF 55th Birthday. Upon arrival we were greeted by Edwin one of the front desk staff. He was very pleasant and helpful. Once we got to our room I was greeted with the fresh smell of a clean room. There was a nice welcome letter with a nice cheese platter.
Day 2 was when we realized how under staffed they are. In my group it was 17 and the only time we were all together was on an outing or at dinner. This resort is very UNDER STAFFED and it shows.
There were a few staff members that seemed more pleasant than others (mainly the women were rude). When we asked if there were any staff that walked the pool/beach area to ensure the guest are taken care of and I was looked at like an alien. However on the 4th day of our 6th day we inquired about bottle service since we were all at the pool for the day and Maxi was the best. She made sure to check on us which was to me a HUGE PLUS.
Breakfast buffet the same as any other all inclusive resort nothing special. Specialty restaurants no big hype. The BBQ spot is ok for those that eat meat. For those that don't is hard to get something to eat that hasn't been cooked on top of beef and pork.
When my travel partner asked for her room to be cleaned while we were gone tor the entire day the room was NEVER cleaned. She phoned and an hour later they sent a pregnant lady to clean.(SMH). There were 2 bartenders that we nicknamed M&M they were GREAT. I have a lot to say but this won't allow me to type too much.

Disorganized in every department and lazy staff.
King bed is 2 twins next to each other.
Rooms are surface cleaned; saw same junk food in hallways/staircase for over a week.
Hard to check in or get a restaurant reservation; mayhem. Can’t even be seated at the reservation time they’re too overwhelmed.
Staff constantly on phones and eating behind food counters; this is not what I took time off for to stand at the counter for 20 minutes before being served or seated.
Buffet not cleaned timely and waiting while staff standing there. I cleaned my own table. Buffet full of horse flies on food but decent tasting.
What type of pool bar runs out of pina colada?
Pretty place but service not good at all.
The only pleasant people were the ladies at the scuba shack (Liz and Christina are amazing) otherwise do not rely on a smile from anyone.
Ask staff where things are they don’t know. So what do they know?
Poor training in all topics; cleaning, customer service and food sanitation.
Beach was nice but all rocks and no service.
Awful WiFi.
Great resort for kids however.

The room was clean. My only issue was booking any restaurant other than buffet. When we checked in we were told you have to go to the 3rd desk and book only the day before. Turned out it was desk 2 and Everyday we attempted as soon as it opened 10am and was told they were booked up already. On the last day another person staying told us you can scan the menu barcode on this desk and book from there. Staff never told us this even the lady at the desk. This was the only issue we had but it is a decision maker for future stays elsewhere. We had what was supposed to be a deluxe king room, it was just another king bed room. It was next to a small pool and that wasn’t very busy.
