Relax in our 3 bedroom and 3 bathroom home on the quiet side of the island of Curacao, outside of the village of Westpunt. We are located in a gated community at the Marazul Dive Resort. The resort is on a cliff which allows for beautiful ocean and sunset views from the our balcony. There are 2 flights of steps with easy access to jump/dive into the warm waters of the Caribbean. The communal pool is surrounded by beautiful flowers and palm trees. Our home has been recently renovated and freshly painted with 3 bedroom and 3 bathrooms which makes for a spacious and private retreat. The resort is in an ideal location for those who wish to be away from the more crowded areas.

We started at Marazul four years ago and have gone back every year. We absolutely love this place.HOWEVER - this life isn't for everyone. It is a quiet resort that does go to bed early and there aren't lots of restaurants or nightlife in the area (there are some great restaurants just not lots of them). If your ideal vacation is to spend lots of time snorkeling/diving, reading books, lounging on the beach, and enjoying the sunset with a home-made cocktail in hand, then this is the place. This property - first time we have stayed in this unit and it was fantastic. Owner was very communicative and helpful (not that we had much that we needed!) Loads of room and the upstairs porch was used a ton. Steps to the pool and the snorkeling along the wall was great too. Definitely a place we would go to again.
The house was very nice. Loved the deck and patio. We had no difficulties. It was lovely and easy to find and restaurants were nearby. We enjoyed snorkeling in front of the resort. There were some days that it was too rough for a 71 year old and a nine year old to relax and snorkel there, but there were multiple beaches within a 5 to 10 minute drive that were amazing. The fish and the beaches were beautiful. We would have loved a second week to explore more of the amazing beaches. My granddaughter really enjoyed the iguanas and the neighbors really enjoyed watching her with the iguanas. The pool was very nice. The neighbors were super friendly and helpful.It was a long ride to the other end of the island, we found that a benefit. We didn’t love the ride but loved the quiet at our end of the island.
Diannes’ place had all we needed to make our family stay at her unit perfect! We were there 14 days and not much wind, but that is the weather! We asked for 2 cribs (playpens) and 2 high chairs, for the one year old twins, which was at the unit when we arrived.
Would not hestitate to stay again! Thank you Dianne
What a terrific time we had at Dianne’s townhouse. Had everything we needed for a great stay. We slept well in the comfy king size bed down stairs. The unit is very roomy which we loved. We stayed in a different townhouse on a prior visit and felt a little cramped. Not in this unit though. Even with the holiday weekend of Easter it was still quiet and very relaxing. We enjoyed the upstairs patio a lot. We felt the cool breeze in the evening and would play dominoes. It’s perfect for beach lovers. Most beaches very close. My husband said if we return he would like to stay in this unit. Thank you so much for your quick response to my many questions Dianne. Thank you for everything!
The house was perfect. The host responsive and helpful.
The location was amazing, close to restaurants, snorkeling, national parks and beaches. Swimming pool an added bonus.
We enjoyed our stay here. It was clean and well looked after.
Close to amazing beaches and great diving nearby.
We would not hesitate to stay here again.
We had a blast, property as described. Kitchen has everything you need to make breakfast , lunch and dinner, love having the grill to use outside. Rooms are comfy, love having the patio area outside. That is where we spent most of our time at night and in mornings for breakfast. No AC in kitchen/living room, just in bedrooms. Windows do allow a breeze into rooms. Love having a pool just feet away and the walk down steps to ocean is awesome. Plenty of places to eat around this place. Small grocery stores aren’t far but their prices are higher than the ones in town. The one bathroom downstairs to the right does have a slight odor coming from drain but I think it’s a ventilation thing. It didn’t effect our stay, I would book this place for our family again. Loved all the beaches we went to , and we went to a lot. You will need a rental car to maximize use of this property.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. Great location for snorkeling and diving! This location is far away from the bars, shopping, nightlife and this worked perfectly for us. The unit is nicely decorated, clean and well supplied. You have everything you need for cooking. The owner is awesome to work with!
Bring bug spray as no see ums and mosquitoes will find you. ;) Keep in mind you are about 30 minutes drive from the good grocery store.
This was the perfect place. Not knowing a lot about Curacao, we lucked out by choosing Marazul Dive Resort. We were close to snorkling and a few restaurants within walking distance. Other residents/visitors were very friendly, as well as the iguana that ate lettuce from my hand!
Regarding this specific cottage.... it was perfect for four adults. Just know that HOT water is not available in all three bathrooms, but the water was warm enough to be enjoyable.
We couldn't have chosen a better place!
Très belle propriété, près de la piscine. Parfait pour une famille.
La maison est situee dans un complexe fermé avec acces à une piscine et vue sur la mer
La propriete est grande avec 3 salles de bain et 3 grandes chambres, 1 balcon en hauteur et 1 à l'étage du bas. La cuisine est bien équipée. Située près de la piscine, il est aussi possible de plonger dans la mer à partir d'un escalier disponible dans le complexe.
Fourth stay in this unit, sixth time total at Marazul. Just perfect, unit is wonderful, diving out front is good, nice restaurants nearby, GoWest dive shop is under new management and better than ever. We have typically done two or three dive weeks to the Caribbean a year for the last decade, and Marazul and Diane's unit particularly just keep calling us back.
Great location. Right in front of pool, in front of ocean. Beautiful sunsets every night from the upper deck. Quiet area of Curacao. The resort is not crowded and we met friendly people who owned or rented the other houses in the resort. Easy access to the water. There are steps down to the water at each end of the resort. We snorkeled almost every day. Nice reef also turtles, eels, squid, and rays. Strong sun but with the almost constant wind it wasn't too hot. Two dive shops nearby. Go West diving at Kalki beach is a full service dive shop with boat dives. Sublime diving is right next door to the resort inside the Rancho El Sobrino hotel and does mostly shore dives. Ellis is a wonderful dive leader and instructor and is very patient and helpful. He also will give you pictures and videos of your dives. There are no markets in Westpunt. You have to drive 10 miles to Barber for markets. One downside are the mosquitos, bring repellent. All in all a great and relaxing vacation.
We very much enjoyed our stay. The interior is a bit dated but comfortable and functional. Showers are a bit on the luke-warm side but beds are comfortable and kitchen is well stocked. The location is definitely the shining feature, great place for divers and there is an excellent sunset from the top balocny every night!
