Floris Suite Hotel Curacao

  The Floris Suite Hotel Curacao is wonderfully located amidst an enormous tropical garden setting. The rooms are all like small and larger suites. I have experienced it utmost comfortable. And a lovely professional staff. It is clean and spacious. One of the extra nice things about Floris is that it has a extra Private beach and a public Beach with a Pirate look and feel atmosphere. The private beach is about a 4-5 minute ride with a complimentary hotel golf car. On this private beach is one (1) ultra modern private bungalow overlooking the Caribbean sea. Ideal for a getaway of honeymoon situation. They have Happy hour programs. And the staff and management of course, is gay "friendly" And for those who wants to challenge public transport. The Bus going to the town Bus terminal are just outside the gate on the road side.

  Just finished my second stay at the Floris. The staff is very nice, but sometimes unhelpful. We called the front desk a few times for things that shouldn't have been a big deal, towels, batteries for the remote, and we either never got what we asked for or had to ask multiple times. The hotel itself needs some work. I realize that not everything can be perfect, but some of linens we're disgusting, they never seemed to have any towels, in the room or by the pool. The pool bar was a ghost town when it came to staff. The food was ok, but pricy. Would recommend if you want a tranquil pool, but that can be had elsewhere.

  AVOID IF AT ALL POSSIBLE!
  
  1. Deceptive miss-representation
  A. NO BEACH. My wife and I chose this location because of the beautiful beach shown in their promotional materials, and with the assumption that it was a hotel on the beach, similar to others that we have visited. However, their recommended beach is ½ mile away, across two large deserted parking lots, and in front of a very unattractive two-story motel. The beach itself was root-filled and very unattractive. When we picked up our beach towel, we were told that there was a $15 per person extra charge to sit under their palapas. We were told by front desk staff that the nice beaches were on the other end of the island.
  B. NOT A SUITE HOTEL. The hotel did have suites, but our room (#70) was a standard-size room.
  2. Room not ready. When we arrived at 4:30 pm, we were told that our room wouldn't be ready foe a half hour and had to sit in the lobby and wait. I traveled on business, and my wife and I have visited 52 countries. This is the first time a room was not ready by check-in time, to say nothing of 4:30 pm.
  3. New furniture needed. All of the furniture in the lobby and in our room was covered in faded white cloth. I lifted the cover on one chair to see that it was a badly worn 1950s chair that should have been replaced long ago. The sofa/sleeper (also covered) looked as if it couldn't be put back as a sofa and looked so uncomfortable that we didn't dare sit on it.
  4. Isolation. Meals were not included in our package, and we expected several places to eat. But the only place (other than their restaurant with limited menu) within walking distance was the Hilton about ½ mile away. In checking, Floris has a 4.0 Google rating, and the Hilton a 3.9. One look at the Hilton building and grounds told us that there was no comparison between the two properties.
  5. Lack of information. I asked for a map of the property (to be able to find the pool and restaurant) but was told they didn't have one. Also, there was no information about Curacao to be found anywhere onsite.
  6. Substandard restaurant. The breakfast was good, but we were disappointed the two time we ate there. The chicken fetuccini was tasty, but the portion very small, and the hamburger was so overcooked that it was dry. Also, evening service was so poor that I didn't leave a tip. (To add insult to injury, we were billed twice for the hamburger—which was caught by the credit card company and is now in dispute.

  Perfect for single adults who want to vacation, but like quiet and calm as well. The customer service is great. The owners and managers are friendly. There is the Friday gathering, which is sweet as well.

  Overall I would rate the hotel as "ok". It's really a tale of 2 stories for Floris. The positive is the great team that works at the hotel. The overall staff is excellent , very friendly and very helpful. Ryan at the front desk deserves a special shout out for his great service. The hotel itself however is very tired. The rooms, common grounds , pool and in general need significant investment to bring it to best in class. The rooms are very basic and older. Hot water is a struggle in some of the buildings. Beds need updating along with bathrooms. The common grounds need significant landscaping upgrades and maintainece and the pool has many missing tiles and some plaster.

  The hotel was upscale and clean. Our room, the Imperial suite, was elegant and the bed was very comfortable. Upon check in, we were presented with a problem; the hotel didn't have the room we booked available. And, the room they decided to put is in was less expensive, and simply not as nice. They offered to buy us dinner as a make good; however, I reminded them of the significant difference in price between the two rooms. Fortunately, "Ryan R", took control of our reservation and offered us a solution we found very comparable. Ryan continued to follow up with us throughout our stay to ensure we were taken care of, and happy. His service alone made our trip more enjoyable.
  
  The island itself was beautiful with some of the bluest waters I've seen in my life. However, the service throughout Curacao is challenged. I would say the Floris Hotel was better than most other businesses, but still lacked proper staffing (restaurant) and the understanding that the more quickly and often you wait on someone, the more money they will spend. As customers on the island, we never felt "first" in regards to - anything, really.

  Absolutly a great place to stay. Very friendly staff makes you feel welcome. Beautifull gardens surround the hotel and pool. Good food, spa, small but sufficient gym, happy hour at pool-bar and on top of that they have their own private beach at the Moomba Beach club. Nice mixture of straight and gay people give's the place an international and free atmosphere.

  Wonderful hotel with suites instead of rooms; some with complete kitchen, all ver large and beautiful appointed with style and taste. Great pool, lovely beach, with beach house, bar with breakfast, lunch and snacks, gay friendly, lovely gym with steamroom and sauna, dayly happy hour with drinks on the house, lovely restaurant with local dishes and international choices. WORTH YOUR CHOICE!

  Frindly staff, nice hotel equipped with required amenities. A small kitchen in most of the room. Cleanliness can be improved and also they have to find some way to tackle mosquitoes.

  It is a lovely small hotel with a relaxed atmosphere. It is nicely decorated and has enough amenities to support an enjoyable vacation. Rooms are equipped with a kitchenette for those on a budget to prepare small meals. There is also an onsite restaurant available as well. The beach is a short walk across the street but a ride in a golf cart is available upon request. I had an enjoyable time at Floris and would recommend it as a viable option.

  First of all: it's dirty. We even changed a room, because it was just impossible to stay in the first one. The second one was better, but still not clean. A lot of dust everywhere and OMG we found a pair of dirty underwear and a towel under the bed. I am so happy we didn't stay long in this hotel. We mostly spent our time on the beach. I don't want to know how they clean the spa and pool areas, so we decided not to use them at all.
  Everybody says that the staff is very friendly. Seriously? Not even a little smile.
  The safe was broken in our room, we asked to fix it, but no one came.
  And yes - women are not allowed to the SPA after 6pm. LGBT friendly? No, only men-gay friendly.

  While having "let me spoil you" on the shirt, there were only a few people on the staff taking that serious. Apartment, hotel and pool were okay, clean and maintained enough to pass, but not as clean as I would've liked.
  
  Bathroom in apartment was bad.
  
  Gay friendly, maybe, but not gender neutral. Closing down part of the hotel to certain genders after a certain time does not seem like a good way to treat guests.
  
  Overall a nice stay and enough facilities around the hotel to go and do everything every day. When staying at Floris I'd recommend also visiting the pirate bay, as a Floris guest you get free beach access and the cocktails there are hard to beat.

  An honest review.
  Pros: Great private beach with cute beach cafe. Rooms were clean, air-con works well. Food and drink very good, staff also friendly.
  
  Come: Pools needs a bit of TLC. Spray for mosquito's.

  when they say gay friendly, they mean they discriminate against straights...we couldn't use the spa and gym after 6 Pm because of our gender. If I would have known that, i certainly wouldn't have booked here. I have nothing against gay friendly, but going the other way where services aren't available to straights and females should make every gay man stay away from this place.
  Rooms were beautiful, pool quiet, a walk to the beach, nice staff but we were paying for part of the resort we couldn't use. How about offering us a voucher for a hotel that will serve us after 6PM. I have 6 more nights here and not excited about it.

  The staff here was very attentive, the adults only atmosphere was very peaceful. The vegetation was so lush that we felt like we were going through a jungle.
  
  The hotel gives you access to two local beaches about 5 minute walk away (although they will gladly drive you there in a golf cart). Moomba beach is quieter, and Pirate Bay is the party beach with a restaurant and bigger bar.
  
  The pool is open 24/7 and was perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach.
