My second stay after 5 years. A unique, pleasant, photogenic, and relaxing location near the Willemstad city centers of Punda and Otrabanda, featuring its famous bridges and historic waterfront faรงade. Pleasant atmosphere, an ideal starting location for road trips on the island. Due to its central orientation, you're quickly on the road to the many lovely beach bays in the Westpunt direction.
Our 3-week stay at the Scuba Lodge was everything we had imagined it would be. The service at the Scuba Lodge is brilliant! No matter what you need or ask, the team tries everything to help the guest. The housekeeping really deserves praise, everything was always very clean and if we got up late, it was never a problem for them!
However, there is one small drawback: as the hotel is located directly by the sea, the salty sea air has a strong impact on the building fabric. Chipped plaster on the walls, rotten wood under the colour of the window frames or loose planks by the pool are not in keeping with such a beautiful building complex as the Scuba Lodge.
A great location for a stay in Willemstad. It is clean, friendly staff and is really fantastically located on the Caribbean Sea. We stayed 2 nights and slept the first night in room 27. A beautiful and spacious room with a balcony at the front. However, a big disadvantage is that it is located on the street side and therefore very noisy at night due to the heavy traffic passing by. The next night we rebooked to a room on the garden/sea side and slept well there. This room was also fine with a terrace on the garden side. Recommended if you do not take a room on the street side!
Goede ligging, aan zee, mooi zwembad, leuke kleurrijke accommodatie, kamers dagelijks goed schoon en centrale ligging dichtbij restaurantjes. In het weekend wel wat geluidsoverlast. Veel kamers hebben gedeelde buitenruimte waardoor wel wat minder privacy.
Third time to this boutique hotel in 2 years. Convenient for scuba diving as there is a dive shop 100 feet from the property. The staff at Scuba Lodge are friendly and accommodating. There are 2 pools (small) on the property with one (infinity) overlooking the ocean. The food is excellent, great coffee and croissants. I plan to return sooner than later
Loved the staff at this property and the unique rooms in the old buildings. Now, the name is misleadingโฆ hotel really doesnโt have anything SCUBA related and that was one of the reasons we chose it. No tanks, no scuba gear dryingโฆ the neighbouring dive shop does use the garden pool but with the lack of parking using that shop was not a good choice for use. Donโt get me wrong, LOVED Scuba Lodge but if youโre a diver and thinking they cater to divers given the name that is not the case. This could be fixed with drying bars (racks donโt work for heavy gear), on site gear lockers and tank depots.
If you want personalized treatment, clean rooms, beautiful walkable location, AMAZING staff - this is the place.
Absolutely loved our stay at Scuba Lodge! The ocean view suite, Savonet Suite, was great! Lots of space to spread out. Staff was incredible. We loved the restaurant on site too!
We absolutely love Scuba Lodge! Have stayed here 2 times of our 3 visits to the island. The staff are awesome, the restaurant is delicious and the rooms are spectacular. I always have a lot of questions, etc and the communication from the front office is amazing. We have stayed in the 2 bedroom ocean view apartment twice, and it is one of the best rooms we've ever stayed in. We will always stay with them when we visit. I cannot say enough about the resort and the staff!
The staff here are AMAZING!
Ok, night one termites hatched and our room had flying bugs. Ghislaine came to our room and moved us. Room 2 was beautiful but right on the street where construction crews arrived bright and early every morning and where restaurant patrons are basically 15 feet from your bed (outside on a patio not the room)โฆ and theyโre having a lovely time but have to talk over the sound of the generator (yep, neighbouring property only had generator power). Staff moved us to our third room of week one. None of these things were their fault and they were amazing coming up with solutions for us.
This was a surprise 75th birthday trip. Family arrived week 2. Two standard rooms were changed to a 2 king in suite ocean front ground floor apartment. They moved my husband and I while we were away, got family in position, delivered food, a bday cake and decorated our room. It was truly a surprise and they pulled it off!
Iโd go back just for the way the staff treated us! The staff here is what make the property.
The property is truly unique and delightfully small. The grounds are immaculate and beautiful. Housekeeping keeps everything neat and clean. The bedding is sparkling white.
Ok. Of the 4 beds, only one had a good mattressโฆ most were tired and should be replaced. Also, being an historic property there are signs of age which need to be addressed but when your staying in a building built in 1897 you shouldnโt expect brand new.
This is my 2nd visit to scuba lodge and Iโll be back again! The staff, from front desk employees to housekeeping, maintenance, waiters and waitresses, are all amazing! Very courteous and helpful! Service is top notch!
We absolutely adored this place! They have everything you need if you just want to stay on property & relax but they are also close to the hot spots too!
