Lagoon Ocean Resort: Type G

We stayed here 6 years ago and loved it so much that we're back again in 2025. Youri gave us the warmest welcome and made us feel at home the moment we arrived!

We rented the same corner unit with a panoramic view and private entry down the cliff to the ocean. To our pleasant surprise, some parts of the unit have been renovated, including changing the railing with glass panels on the second floor balcony so that we could take in the breathtaking view. The kitchen has been renovated and stocked with new pots and pans and anything you could think of to cook up a gourmet meal.

I could see from our villa when the local fishermen were returning to the beach, so I would just walk down and bought fresh fish from them, and cooked them at the unit.

Even though it was the most expensive rental in the complex, it was totally worth it. For that price, we enjoyed the best sunset view and the only private entrance to the ocean in the complex. I just jumped into the ocean and snorkeled in paradise while my husband lazed in our private nook at the multi-tiered platforms. There were lots of fish and live coral right in front of the villa, and it was a very short swim to the lagoon and the beach where the snorkeling was also amazing. I have gone to many beaches on the island, and the snorkeling right in front of our villa proved to be the best!

The only drawback is that more people this time climbed onto our diving platform and used it as their own, and sometimes coming up the stairs and onto our patio as if it's public property. Maybe a big private property sign right at the platform by the water would help deter trespassers.

We ate many times at the Bahia Restaurant many as the view was gorgeous and the food was great. We were usually tired by the end of the day, and that little shortcut from the resort to the restaurant was so convenient.

I must thank all the staff at Lagoon Ocean Resort and the Bahia Apartments & Diving for such a wonderful time. If we were to come back to Curacao again, this would definitely be our haven again!

Excellent location for beaches and snorkeling. A great place to unwind and relax.
