We had a great time in Curacao. Our stay at Sunscapes was good - the service and food was excellent. They have 4 restaurants along with one big café. Only the Japanese restaurant takes reservations, so you had to get in line for the steak, seafood & Italian ones usually by 6ish in order to be seated by 6:30. Otherwise the next seating may be around 8 - 8:30! The staff were very friendly & did excellent job.
Our room was okay. We paid for the deluxe garden view room - we were in the towers on the main floor and had a view of a service road! The light around our bathroom mirror never worked & I reported in person at the front desk 4 times! The entertainment was good, they had musicians play around 7 - 9 that were excellent. Otherwise the entertainment staff & music was soooo loud. Many other close resorts & entertainment - some that played until 2 am on Sunday & Wednesday nights!! Our room was close to the dive shop so that made it convenient.
Diving was excellent!! The coral and sea life were outstanding. The dive masters were friendly, helpful and entertaining. The main dive shop is located at the Lions dive resort, so we were picked up first & dropped off first. Very organized team. Jorge & Karen Maike at our resort were the best! We went on our first Lion fishing dive & the team of 8 divers scored 47 fish. Our dive master, Ruth did an excellent job in the classroom & on the dive. Saw a giant turtle that saw his reflection in the fish eye lens of the professional photographer & may have thought there was another turtle - attacked her even biting her arm (bruise only). Attacked another diver and bite her BCD! Then left with great speed.

The house reef at Sunscape Curacao All-Inclusive was amazing. We dove that reef at least once a day. Ocean Encounters is a first class dive operator. The staff on site at Sunscape were very helpful and gave good information about the shore diving. Their boats and procedures are very well set up for the high seas typical in Curacao and the staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. The reefs were very healthy with huge elkhorn and staghorn coral formations. We saw lots of juvenile french angels and even found a tiny post larval spotted trunk. The resort was well maintained and our room was very comfortable. The food at all the restaurants was good. The down time when not diving was very relaxing. We would definitely go back and recommend to anyone.

Nice place but totally disorganized. Rooms are ok. Food good. Staff friendly but mgmt. horrible. Ask 3x for something, hopefully get it. Good diving, friendly dive staff. Make resv. before staying. All the resort staff need to get on the same page. Nice island. Hope to go back someday but probably stay elsewhere.

Everything went great. The rooms were updated and nice. Although they all had views of the parking lot. No big deal since I didn’t want to pay for ocean view. The restaurants were good. Note though, all the restaurants had the same menu every night, but with 3 different restaurants, 4 if you include teppanyaki, we ate at each 2 times with different meals each time. Never had a problem getting seated at night, sometimes had to wait a little, but with open bar, it didn’t matter. The dive shop was amazing! They gave us our own boat with our own dive master every day but 1 but that day worked out also. They even let me take all our snorkelers on the boat with us one day, no charge. The rental gear was in excellent condition and they even gave a couple of us a free day on our last day shore dive. The wait staff, hostesses, and bar-tenders were all very nice but I think that was because we all were very nice to them the entire trip. There were some very rude others, not in our group, so I can see how the bartenders / wait staff can become short. The entertainment was ok, good for a dive resort, since we were all going to bed at 10:00pm every night anyway. But I did hear from other people, again, not in our group, that they wish there was more elaborate nightly entertainment.
