Location was excellent! Walking distance to a lot of restaurants,shops and beach bars . The location is on a main one way street right at the turn of the street, we stayed in the apartment above the street view. If you don't mind noise then it's a great place. There is a lot of events in that area so parking can be a bit of a challenge. The la Reina cafe in directly under that apartment,and they turn on the music at 730 am and you can hear it through the floor. Lots of deliveries with beeping trucks and the trash cans are directly in front so that's very load as well. The restaurant is delicious and beautiful. The staff is excellent.

The hotel is super cute. Decor is fabulous, great rooms, clean, and you can't beat the location. My only complaint is with the staff. Unfortunately we found a majority of the employees very unfriendly. It seemed like they just didn't want to be there and anything you asked them seemed like it was a hassle. That would be be the only room for improvement.
Ideally located, amazing sunsets! The room was super clean, the team was very sweet and helping! I had a wonderful time!

We had a wonderful stay at Bijblauw. The sea view was beautiful and the decor was lovely. The building has lots of character to it. The staff were lovely and really helpful when we had issues and sorted them very quickly. Lotte was particularly great. They made our stay extra special for our honeymoon. The restaurant food was delicious. We had breakfast daily and ate lunch and dinner once there. The sunset whilst eating was beautiful. It was a great location to walk to local food and drink places. The parking was busy as it doesn't have a private car park, however we always found a space. I would recommend a car to really enjoy and explore the island. Thank you again.

BijBlauw is amazing. The staff is excellent, food is great. It's in a good location depending on what you are looking for. There is some terrible construction goin on next door, but once that is complete, it will be fantastic.

The restaurant area is on the ocean and the food is delicious. We had a different breakfast every day of our six day stay and all were good as was the dinner we had there. Unfortunately (no fault of the hotel) there was construction next door so for now try to get a room in the yellow or blue buildings vs the red one (rooms 11-14).

What a great, friendly staff from hotel to restaurant. Room had a big deck over looking ocean which was lovely especially in the evenings. The room is sparse, could use a desk or a stand for luggage but the vibe is so good... Great location, walking distance to a lot of good dining locations. Good snorkeling or diving right there with a dive shop right next door. Would stay there again.

We love our stay at bijblauw! it is perfect location the staff are very friendly and helpful . We felt safe ! we love the view and the food at the restaurant . We're sad that we discovered that we can swim on the beach by taking a few steps from the walkable pathway from the restaurant! It is definitely a good reason to GO BACK!

This is a beautiful hotel. My wife and I stayed in the "fiddler on the roof" (what the room is called). The room is very spacious, and you have your own private terraces. The terraces is spacious and has amazing views. I highly recommend adding the daily breakfast. I also recommended having dinner and watching the sunset. All the food we ate was delicious. The staff was great and gave great recommendations for places to visit and eat while on the trip. I could not have asked for a better place to stay. My wife and I will be coming back and staying at BijBlauw.

The staff here are wonderful. My room was clean! The view (private terrace—ocean front room) was exceptional!!! The restaurant on premise was excellent. The only “negative” is the bed…it isn’t the best, and only two pillows (although I’m sure if I had asked they would’ve given me additional)
Overall, I would highly recommend and certainly stay again.

BijBlauw is a small Boutiquehotel directly on the Oceanfront. It has a very good restaurant directly in front of the sea. My room no. 9 was so beautiful with a big terrass overlooking the sea. The terrass is well equiped with 2 sunbeds, a small table, a big table with chairs and a bench. The location of the hotel in the beautiful Pietermaai area is great. You can explore Willemstad very easily by foot. All of the staff is so kind and helpful. I had a marvellous stay and defintely want to come back. Thank you so much.

Great place
A very nice place conveniently located to 3 nice restaurants. A short walk to many others. Beds were OK and pillows OK if you have 2 of them. They were very helpful with anything we asked about and with any needs. Currently construction going on right next door to our room and were fortunate to have the situation resolved quickly.

Great Place But Sketchy Internet
Excellent. Very friendly service. But internet wasa very weak. They had 4-5 wifis but none could stream video and even trying to get eMail out was "stop and go" so I had to use my cell phone hotsport which worked a little better but I had to tape my phone high up on the window to get enough bars...not good if you are there on business.
