Curacao marriott resort & emerald casino

Update: Curacao Marriott Beach Resort & Emerald Casino is currently closed for renovations.

Turning into the driveway of the Marriott Curacao Beach Resort is like driving onto an immaculate European estate. Bubbling fountains, marble statues and well-manicured flowerbeds, shrubs and trees lead to an open-air lobby and registration area. As you get out of your taxi, hang on to the kids’ hands, as they’ll be anxious to run ahead. Fabulous views expand through the lobby to the pool and beautiful Caribbean Sea, and your vacation begins.
The Marriott Curacao Beach Resort and Emerald Casino was built as a Sonesta Resort, but Marriott bought the property in and a major renovation in brought an amazing array of amenities.

Nearly standard guest rooms and ten suites with balconies or patios are comfortable and spacious, but it’s the outdoors that brings you to the Caribbean. Your family will find plenty to enjoy in the pool area and its abundance of lounge chairs and quiet spaces. A swim-up bar is just as much fun for the kids retrieving fruit punch and soft drinks as it is for adults getting cocktails.

Complimentary Wi-Fi is not offered in the guest rooms, but is available in the dining area, where plenty of rattan couches and chairs offer a comfortable place to lounge. It’s here that many guests choose to stay in touch with people at home. Although your living room at home probably doesn’t have two blue iguanas wandering around. The hotel’s iguanas like to snack on maraschino cherries, which are offered throughout the day by bartenders and guests.

Another favorite spot to hang out, notably for teenagers, is the gameroom, equipped with ping-pong tables, pool billiards and lots of board games. Older teens might enjoy the live music and occasional karaoke that fills the common area adjacent to the Emerald Casino each night. Of course, only those over 21 can enjoy the Casino.

Many of the guests your family will interact with here are European. Remember that until , Curacao was a Dutch colony and a part of the Dutch Antilles, so all of Curacao still has a strong European flair, and northern Europeans frequently choose the Marriott Beach Resort as their destination.
