Great location -close to city, close to Ring, close/in the sea. We stayed in the last room in the Blues Wing, so that's as far in the sea as possible. Wonderful wavesound in the morning. Great breakfast, lunch and dinner and a nice private dinner in the sand on my wife's birthday!

Avila could be such a great hotel. The location at the sea front, and closeness to a small group of great restaurants (try Rozendaels, 1 minute away by foot) and the city center (15 minutes) is great. The grounds are nice, and the pool area and all public areas are clean and nice, with nice views of the sea. We... More

Very nice hotel building two separate beach bays, around which the hotel is formed with flair and a touch of pure nature. The rooms with class: deluxe or plus have seaview and are equipped very well. The "blues" wing is definitely worth the sligtly higher price, as it is buit of wood and is located on top of one of... More

This was my third stay in Curacao and first stay at this property. Location: On the Punda side of Willemstad about a mile walk west to town with mini market and grocery store as you walk east. Grocery store has decent selection with separate rooms for booze, cosmetics and paper goods. Excellent wine selection; try Portuguese - inexpensive and quality.... More

The hotel is generally in good condition. We stayed in the new Octagon wing. The beaches and the riff are amazingly beatiful. Let's hope they stay so despite tourism. Other beaches that are also worth a visit are not far away, but you probably need a rental car to get there. The staff was very friendly (with one or two... More

We had a fantastic break at the Avila hotel in April 2013. We stayed in the Blues Wing, overlooking the sea. The balcony and view was stunning and the rooms were clean but a little dated. The location of the room more than made up for this though. The whole complex was very well decorated and landscaped, with very good... More

This is a very nice hotel, beautifully situated on the beach. It is perfect for a very relaxing, low key holiday. The food in the hotel's restaurants is decent. The staff are very nice, if not the most competent in the world. The rooms are comfortable. What we liked especially was that it was on the beach, yet accessible to... More

First, I think it important to emphasize that all travelers will base reviews on their own past experiences and their current expectations. To some, the Avila would easily rate as a 5 star. To others a 3. So it is often difficult to give a totally objective review relevant to all travelers. From our perspective we are in our 50’s,... More

I overall loved the hotel and the weather was a dream while we were here. My only complaint would be the room was ok not amazing for the money we paid and the staff was ok as well. We could sit on the beach all day without the beach server getting a drink order from us. They were nice but... More
