Historic streets, garden calm, adults only

Kura Botanica Hotel keeps things refreshingly grown-up with an adults-only setting spread across a handful of historic buildings connected by atmospheric alleys. Days unfold between terraced botanical gardens with outdoor seating areas and a central pool scene with its own pool bar. It all sits right in Otrobanda, inside a UNESCO World Heritage listed part of Willemstad.

I fully enjoyed my time at the Kura Botanica. I was able to reach out to the hotel about helping book a taxi to pick me up at the airport. Check-in was easy, my room was gorgeous. The pool had plenty of shaded loungers so I could just sit and read my books. There's one bar on the property located by the pool. I don't drink so I was able to order soft drinks, smoothies, and some french fries from there and just relax. The hotel is in the Kura Hulanda Museum Village which is centrally located in Otrobanda to lots of restaurant options and it's a short free ferry ride or walking bridge distance from Punda which doubles the amount of options. Very picturesque and pleasant. I would be willing to stay here again with how friendly and helpful the staff were and the beauty of the property.

Unfortunately we had to cancel our trip; however, communication through email was amazing and they were ready to provide special amenities for a birthday that we were planning for. Next time I’ll make sure to choose them due to their customer service.

This boutique hotel is a charming oasis in the heart of historic Kura Hulanda. Our junior suite was very spacious, the pool and grounds are lovely, and all the staff were friendly and welcoming. Even though there is no on-site dining, we were able to order from an adjacent restaurant, and the bartender happily delivered to meal to our terrace. It’s a great place if you want to be within easy walking distance of Willemstaad’s major attraction, and a short stroll from some terrific restaurants and shops.

Room kept in top shape. Like all islanders, the staff were courteous, friendly, hard-working and appreciative of being recognised for their good work.

The room was very clean with plenty of room. Our balcony overlooked the Viva Italian restaurant. What made the place special was its location (located just steps from the floating bridge) and its’ staff. A special callout for both Charlotte, who helped us with varying questions throughout our stay) and Darryl, simply the most genuine and personable bar

Right in the center of Kura village. About a 5 minute walk to queen emma bridge and about 10 minute walk to punda. The staff there were so helpful, especially Miguel! I can’t remember the gentleman’s name a the pool but he helped me find a first aide kit after cutting my knee during an excursion. They do have a parking lot however, it is shared with the rest of the village such as the restaurant and shops so, they can fill up quickly during peak hours. I would 100% stay again!

This is such a beautiful property. The pics don't do it justice. When ppl say "hidden gem," Kura Botanica is the epitome of that term. I traveled solo and having such a welcoming energy from the staff energy from the staff made my stay extraordinary. Not to mention, being surrounded by art while in the midst of a botanical garden provided a healing energy I wont soon forget. Thank you Kura Botanica for such an amazing stay. I shall return.

I truly had such a lovely stay here and didn’t want to leave! From the moment I arrived, Miguel made me feel genuinely welcome and taken care of. My room was spotless, cozy, and quiet; exactly what I needed to relax and recharge. I really appreciated Darryl, the welcome drink and the overall warm atmosphere. It felt more like a home away from home than just a hotel. Thank you!
