Baoase Luxury Resort

The staff (who are wonderful!) referenced the resort as a “hidden oasis” and I couldn’t agree more! Baoase (it took me the full 5 days to finally pronounce it correctly 😂) was lush with tropical plants and foliage while still sunny, warm and sandy on the beach. The rooms are equipped with thoughtful amenities and modern conveniences. The food was amazing and we were glad to have purchased the all-inclusive plan. Creative menus and delicious offerings. Eating on the beach steps from the water can’t be beat! We will be back!

My husband and I took a long weekend getaway trip to Curaçao staying at Baoase resort. We absolutely loved every minute and left so refreshed and rested. The staff was simply amazing… from Leroy picking us up from the airport to Nigel taking us back, everyone was absolutely lovely and took care of all of our needs! The property is truly magical! We highly recommend and will definitely be back!

This resort is everything you could dream of and more. It’s luxurious, private, STUNNING & you are truly made to feel like royalty. Every single staff member has been fabulous and accommodating, and that is before you even see the grounds. When you arrive, you’re welcomed by a team of people who make you feel valued. The service is impeccable. Housekeeping turned our suite over twice a day and had fresh waters set up by our beside every night. If you are looking for a pampered, relaxing vacation, this is the place to go. Every single member of their team is so kind and inviting. Arranging ride transfers to explore the city was incredibly easy and felt very safe. We even had one of the drivers arrive sooner than expected and he got out of the car to look for us. They remember you by face by the end of day 1. This resort was unbelievable and if you’re able to splurge on it, it’s worth every single cent. I truly cannot say enough good words about Baoase & cannot say enough good words.

Absolute best in the Caribbean. My wife and I have travelled to many islands and resorts in the Caribbean. This is by far the best. We have stayed at Baoase 4 times. Always fantastic. If you like high end comfort, quiet serene private beach, great food and friendly staff then this is the place for you. Everything is Zen like and tranquil. A great place to relax in comfort. Anthony, the manager was incredibly kind and attentive. Baoase is simply the best.

This was my second visit to the resort in two years, and once again it earns a five-star rating. The staff, food, and villas were outstanding. The beach is a secluded paradise, with a man-made island creating a calm, wave-free swimming area. If you prefer, you can also swim beyond the island and enjoy excellent snorkeling. With direct flights from Montreal this is my go to for January.

I visited Baoase with my teenage daughter the week after Christmas. Prior to arrival the team was very responsive via email for dinner requests, excursions, airport transportation etc. We did experience a flight delay on arrival/ we arrived a day late due to a Northeast snowstorm, and the Baoase team responded immediately and was quite helpful when we reached out. Our Superior Beachfront Pool suite was gorgeous. The room was large, clean, had a private pool and beach. Housekeeping was thorough and excellent, although several days they had not arrived by 3 pm and I needed to reach out to request them to come. Turndown service was always special, with notes and treats left, as well as incense. We enjoyed both our private pool and beach, as well as the lagoon beach- and both were spectacular. The resort never felt crowded and we could always find space and chairs. We ate both on and off property- twice at Culinary Beach restaurant, once at Italian night, and once dinner room service- all food was great and they offer kids menus. Breakfast was great and I enjoyed both the food and ambiance. We used hotel transportation several times to visit Mambo Beach ($22 each way) for shopping and more casual dining, and the WhatsApp feature was great to both request transportation or just to ask questions. Food was great and well presented. Although we would have welcomed more casual dining at dinner- pizzas, sandwiches etc (or perhaps these options available between 3-5 pm)- especially when travelling with a family. Shortcomings: - Certain things are expected at a $2000/night hotel- for three days straight I sent a whats app message to let management know there was no soap in the ladies restroom at the beach- the dispenser was broken. Finally on the fourth day I asked if they could simply put a bottle of soap there if they could not fix the dispenser . Seems trivial but also seems like something housekeeping or the many beach butlers should have noticed before me, and certainly should not have taken 4 days to resolve. - Dirty towels are left on beach chairs hours after guests have left. At most resorts the towels are taken and fresh ones put down relatively quickly, so other guests can enjoy- here I noticed they made no effort to get rid of trash or dirty towels despite at least 2-4 beach butlers in staff- just an observation. - We were told when we arrived we always had a table at lunch and dinner on property. However every day at breakfast, I was asked if we would be coming for lunch or dinner- often I did not know as we tried to relax and not plan too much in advance. I did not mind the questioning, but we didn’t have firm plans. - Would have loved a water cooler at beach with cold tap water- most caribbean resorts have this option, even if you need to fill your own reusable cup. All of the glass water bottles seemed wasteful and of course an additional charge. There is a mini mart 5 min walk away if you want to purchase wine, gatorade, sodas etc. - We were part of the Venezuelan airspace cancellation and in my opinion the hotel could have done better. I informed them at 09:00 that my flight was cancelled and that I could not rebook for 3 days. I was told by the hotel manager Anthony that I could stay in my current room at least for that night and possibly longer, but at very least I could stay in the hotel even if I had to change rooms. He even offered me a 10 percent discount for that evening (obviously with no flights out no flights were coming in either so our room would have been vacant had we left). I appreciated this, as I was travelling solo with a 13 yo. Several hours later I reveived a phone call from the front desk asking for my flight details, what time I would be leaving the next day, and was informed that I may not have a room to stay in after all. You can imagine my disbelief as had they been honest hours earlier I would have checked out and found other accomodations. Thankfully I was able to find an earlier flight out so I do not know whether we would have been left without accommodations or not. Interstingly, while trying to figure out what to do- I see a room available both on Expedia and Baoase website, which I notified management of and even offered to pay the higher price/ which they had little answer to and still didn’t guarantee me the room. Of note, I was told my additional night would be at a 10 percent discount yet this was not reflected upon checkout. Overall there seemed to be poor communication between the guest services answering whats app, the hotel manager, and the front desk manager. All making for a stressful experience given the travel circumstances. - Would have preferred some more moderately priced or free activities over Festive season. Even simple activities like ornament making, cookie decorating, snorkel tour- $100 for a crab race?! Come on. If it had been $10 or $25 we would have participated and purchased several, but it seemed extravagant after the price of the room. -Preference and service did not seem consistent amongst all guests We have travelled all over the caribbean- 50 times to Grand Cayman, 20 times to Turks and Caicos, as well as numerous other 5 star locales/ St Lucia, Bahamas, St John, Anguilla, etc. While we certainly enjoyed our stay and had an enjoyable vacation with fabulously warm weather, and made family memories, I am not sure I would come back here given the price point and overall feel.

Another wonderful experience from opening greeting to closing Team Goodbye!! This has to be our favorite resort, this was our third trip. The 1:1 experience and feel the Team provides is beyond approach. Everything was perfect from beach service, the Chef’s Specials (Oliver), and Christmas Trees in our room. Cannot say enough about the people who run this Resort, top notch. The ambience is relaxing, thoughtful, and always accommodating to provide that extra effort. Thank you all, we will see you again soon!

My husband and I stayed at Baoase Luxury Resort to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, and it absolutely did not disappoint. We purchased the all-inclusive meal plan, and every meal was a true five-star dining experience—not the typical “appeal-to-the-masses” buffet you often see at resorts. Everything was made to order, restaurant-quality, and the team was happy to adjust dishes based on dietary preferences. The cocktails and drinks were easily 5+ star as well. From the moment we arrived, the service and attention to detail were exceptional. We were greeted the second we stepped into the impressive, beautiful Balinese-inspired interior, with several staff members welcoming us—including the Resort Manager. We were given cool aromatherapy hand towels and a delicious welcome drink, and then whisked away for a property tour that ended at our room. No standing at a check-in desk, no paperwork routine—just seamless hospitality. Our room was beautifully prepared and thoughtfully stocked: leather room keys, all information organized on the cocktail table, a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine, fresh flowers, and fresh fruit (including dragon fruit). The amenities were top-tier—high-quality linens, a Sonos sound system with a tablet, a coffee machine, hot tea service, and a stocked mini bar. A quick note on room selection, especially if you’re booking last-minute: because we booked relatively late, the only room available for our dates was the Colonial Room (a large one-bedroom). We understood it did not offer a water view, and that wasn’t a concern since we planned to be out and about during the day. The room itself was spacious and well appointed. However, I do want to flag an important consideration: it was very noisy starting around 7:00 a.m. We heard a repeated bumping sound that seemed consistent with staff going in and out of a door below us (the room is on the second floor and the office area appeared to be beneath it). There was no sleeping in, and the noise carried even over the A/C and ocean-wave sound we use to sleep. If a good view and sleeping in are important to you, do not book the Colonial Room. Logistics were easy too: you can arrange private airport transfers through the resort, and transportation is available if you’d like to head out. That said, if you enjoy a scenic walk, you’re about 25 minutes from the town center, with restaurants and cafés along the way. My husband and I have traveled extensively, and this was genuinely one of our top five resort experiences worldwide because of the service, ambiance, culinary excellence, and peacefulness. Special shoutout to Anthony, the Resort Manager—present, attentive, and genuinely engaged with guests. He greeted us upon arrival and was there to send us off as we headed home, which says a lot. Areas for improvement (shared only because the overall experience was excellent): there may be a training/consistency opportunity with housekeeping. Fresh fruit was left in our room for the first three days, and then it stopped. Also, the first-night turndown service was stellar—battery-operated tea lights, treats, and beautiful touches—but we only had the tea lights that first night. Once the batteries died, they weren’t replaced on subsequent evenings, so that “signature” turndown experience didn’t continue consistently. None of this took away from how much we enjoyed our stay, but for a resort operating at this level, I’d expect those details to be more consistent. What would make it even better? More on-site activities and a larger gym. That said, we understand they’re actively expanding and plan to add more experiences. Also—bonus memory—we even learned to salsa during our stay. If you’re looking for a solo escape, a couples’ reconnect, or an elegant family gathering, I highly recommend Baoase. Quiet, beautiful, and a true five-star experience.

From the moment my wife and arrived at Boaose Luxury Resort, we were swept into an atmosphere that felt alive with energy and warmth. It’s where Bali meets the Caribbean run with Dutch efficiency. The staff here are not just attentive—they radiate high energy enthusiasm, making every interaction feel like a celebration. A shout out for exceptional service goes to Kadehisha, Monique and especially Joey the bartender. Thank you, guys. The resort’s setting was nothing short of spectacular. Whether we were lounging on our balcony or strolling along the private beach, the best scenery is a constant reminder that you’ve landed in paradise. Dining at the property is a highlight in itself. Every meal feels like a masterpiece—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. From locally inspired dishes bursting with Caribbean flair to international favorites elevated with creative twists, the food is consistently wonderful. Boaose Luxury Resort is not for the faint of heart, budget wise. If you’re seeking a destination where luxury meets joy, this resort delivers in spades. The only negative we found was there was no Uber like service on the entire island. The hotel would gladly assign one, but if you’re in town, you’re on your own.

I truly cannot speak highly enough about the Baoase resort. It offered a level of serenity and relaxation I didn’t even realize my soul had been craving. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt like a warm exhale—calm, luxurious, and beautifully intimate. The staff is exceptional in every sense of the word. Their attentiveness goes far beyond good service; they anticipate your needs before you even think to ask, ensuring every detail is flawlessly executed. The food alone is a reason to visit—each meal felt like its own culinary journey, filled with vibrant flavors and unforgettable dishes. Absolutely nothing is left to chance. A heartfelt thank-you to the incredible team members who made the experience even more memorable: Lynn, Pablo, Kieren (sp?), and Rowan. And I can’t forget the most wonderfully restorative massage from Esther—truly one of the best I’ve ever had. Baoase is, without question, a once-in-a-lifetime escape. I’m already dreaming of the day I can return.

I just returned from an unforgettable stay at Baoase Luxury Resort in Curaçao, and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, personal, and truly world-class. Every staff member made us feel like VIP guests. The food was phenomenal — beautifully presented, fresh, and full of flavor. Every meal felt like dining at a high-end restaurant, and the cocktails were just as impressive. The bartenders really know what they’re doing; every drink was perfectly crafted and delicious. The atmosphere throughout the resort is serene and luxurious. Whether relaxing by the pool, enjoying the private beach, or having dinner by the water, everything felt like a dream. This is the kind of place that makes you forget the rest of the world exists. If you’re looking for a truly special, intimate, and elevated escape in Curaçao, Baoase is worth every penny. We can’t wait to return!

Our stay at Baoase was a DREAM!!!! Every single staff member was incredibly kind, intentional and so so welcoming. Best staff i’ve ever had on a trip. We went for our honeymoon and it was everything we could’ve wanted and more. The room was amazing. The service was efficient and honestly perfect! The food was an absolute dream. We loved the indian, italian and culinary bbq nights but wish we could’ve gotten a taste of asian night too! Best food i’ve ever had and the atmosphere was impeccable. I will be recommending it to all couples for sure. 100/10!!

We visited Baoase for my husband’s birthday. We booked through Expedia and had a great time. I emailed the hotel prior to my arrival to request airport transfer and a tour. The reservations email was responsive and had everything all set when we arrived. This was our first time in Curaçao and booking the taxi with the resort made things stress free. The taxi was ready to go when we arrived (even though we were delayed a bit) ride to hotel is quick. The drivers were professional and helpful. We opted for the all inclusive meal plan and happy we did because the food was delicious. We ate there everyday except the one day we went on a day tour to the west side to the beaches. I appreciated the ability to drink bottled acqua panna water and the options for liquors was more than enough. The tour was excellent and Carlos was a great guide. I highly suggest the west end tour as we were able to swim with turtles and see a few beautiful beaches. We also had a delicious lunch at Playa Forti. The staff was all very kind and professional. They made my husband feel special by remembering his birthday and even set up a nice surprise in room. The resort is small and kept very clean. We had a great, relaxing time. There was some construction on the beach and they were cleaning the pergola covers on one day but it was not too disruptive. We felt safe and welcomed by everyone, which is very much appreciated. Overall I recommend this resort for a serene escape. This is not a party resort.

We went for a short 4 day stay stay to this special resort. It was unusually hot but the waterfront location and pool was very inviting and welcoming. We loved the decor and Bali type vibe. There was some construction next door and they graciously offered to move our room when we checked in. The food and drinks were phenomenal and I recommend the all inclusive option for a seamless stay. Best food of any all inclusive we have stayed. Beach snacks daily were a special treat. It was a little annoying to sign a check for every drink ordered etc. with all inclusive and didn't really know how to tip. The staff were friendly, laid back and knowledgeable. Perfect for very luxurious quiet vacation but expensive. We had to stay in Aruba the day before because of flight limitations to Curacao but that was fine.

From the moment we made the reservation, the process was effortless, and the seamless airport pickup set the tone for our stay. From the moment we arrived the staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality and incredible attention to detail. Every interaction felt personalized, especially with Pablo and Pascal, two of the most amazing staff members that made our stay truly unforgettable. Shantely and Andreen we exceptional and Justin at the bar was the top notch. The room was exquisite, beautifully designed with direct access to a private beach area. Waking up to the incredible views each morning was breathtaking. Service throughout our stay was flawless, attentive yet discreet. Only once during our stay the water bottles and fridge sodas weren't refilled, but it was quickly corrected and did not take away from the overall experience. The ambiance in the room with an iPod and curated playlist, created a sexy and relaxing atmosphere that made our stay even more special. The food was delicious, and the chef's daily creations and treats were truly out of this world, both taste and presentation. Dining here felt like a culinary journey of its own. Boase is the definition of luxury, relaxation, and world-class service. An unforgettable experience from beginning to end. Every detail, from dining to daily comforts, was perfectly curated to make us feel special. We will definitely be returning to this unforgettable resort.

Thank you Baoase for a DREAM trip from start to finish. Not one detail was overlooked. The incredible staff at Baoase made us feel right at home and were happy to accommodate any request. The room was gorgeous and comfortable, with an amazing nightly turndown service. The food was the best I’ve ever had at a resort. They even surprised us with special desserts multiple times. I’ve never felt more relaxed!! Thank you!!!

Peace, Tranquility, and Modern Chic Hotel. World Class resort with splendid Service Team to back it up. Our week stay was in the Superior Beach Front Suite, bed-pool-bathroom were all comfortable, impeccable and clean! Special thanks to the Resort Property Manager France for accommodating our tailored birthday week celebrations and a bigger shout out to Resort Chef Oliver for delivering-preparing the best tasting food combination of appetizers, entrees, and oddities all week. We also got to meet the most humbling and engaging down to Earth business owners ever, Ad and Bibi. Your property in Curacao delivered once again on our return visit, Thank you to you and your Service-Mgmt Team at the Resort. See you again soon!

I argued with myself about not giving 5 stars but in the end I don't think we would return to Baoase and that meant one less star. The staff was so nice and very helpful but sometimes the answer was yes, but it was all talk and no action. Things were promised but not delivered. Mostly small things but when you have to ask 3 times for a cup of coffee at breakfast (it took 20 minutes) it starts to wear away at that 5th star. Yes they promise that if you are on the all-inclusive plan that your minibar will be replenished daily. Ours was never replenished. Our room was beautiful. The bed comfortable, the sheets soft, plenty of hot water. Be warned, though, that whatever they use on the floor will come off on your towels, clothes etc. My white socks will never be white again. A sweet "happy birthday" message was left on our bed for my birthday -- it was just a day early. In our opinion the food was not great. I guess it just wasn't our style. We don't eat caviar, we love scallops but didn't like the way they were done, their idea of pancakes is not my idea of pancakes. Beef tenderloin, lobster, etc were delicious but hamburgers were terrible. It's just a matter of taste. And why was there no tropical fruit? There was pineapple, mango and papaya (my personal favorite) but it was cut up into small pieces, served in a small jar and had very little flavor. Quite a disappointment. Kids are allowed at Baoase and there were several there while we were. There are no kids-specific toys but the ocean directly in front of the resort is calm and mostly shallow. There are kayaks, and snorkel gear and pool noodles so if your kids are comfortable in the water they will have a blast. Be aware there is construction at the east end of the resort. Don't know what they're building but it is part of the resort. Construction noise was obvious during the day but stopped early in the evening. Might be an issue for naps. Also, there is a fair amount of road noise from outside the resort. Good points - there is lots of personal space. We never felt crowded or had to stand in line. We had our own covered palapa on the beach for relaxing with a drink and the beach butlers were prompt. Each palapa has a button to push for service. One day we were bobbing in the ocean and a butler walked into the shallow water to serve us a "beach bite". We've been to tons of ocean resorts, from Australia to Bahamas, and Baoase was the best for beach space, time and service. Relaxing under our palapa watching the pelicans dive for dinner never gets old. If the food was more to our liking we'd be back.

This was our fourth week-long stay at Baoase Luxury Resort, and once again, it did not disappoint. With each visit, the resort feels more like home. From the moment we arrive, we are welcomed like family, and it’s this personal touch—combined with the resort’s unmatched beauty—that keeps us returning year after year. One of the most notable additions this trip was the newly opened Bida Beach. We were initially a bit hesitant as we always book a Superior Beachfront Suite and were concerned that the privacy might be interrupted. Upon arrival, we received a tour of the new beach area and were impressed by how they strove to maintain the privacy of these accommodations. I do feel that the beautification of this area has enhanced the view from our suite on that side of the resort. They were very careful to be sensitive to preserving privacy—most of the beach area faces away from the private beaches. There is one area near the bar that looks directly onto those suites, but it is a small section. Sitting at the bar does allow other guests to view our beaches briefly. We also appreciated how thoughtfully the speakers were placed—music is mostly undetectable from our accommodation, even on the nights when there is a live DJ. Even then (typically Friday and Saturday), the music is respectful and not intrusive. We gave a lot of direct feedback to management, and they were very receptive. Namely, I would appreciate them blocking off the area of the dock near the bar where guests can step down a couple of platforms and look toward the private beachfront suites. We did notice a few guests lingering there a bit too long. It wasn’t a major concern, but closing that area would further enhance privacy. As always, the food was incredible. There is a new chef executing their Michelin-star-level meals. Chef Oliver was very attentive and came out to our table multiple times each evening. His new additions to the dinner menu were especially welcomed by those of us who don’t leave the resort—and everything was beautifully prepared. We especially loved the octopus starter! Chef Renée Klop remains involved in a more executive role, and the quality and creativity of the food remain exceptional. We also enjoyed the new options available at Bida Beach—a few lunch items there are not available in the main restaurant. We loved the prosciutto pizza, the spicy mango margarita, and the spicy mango dessert! These are exclusive to that beach area. While there were a few dishes that weren’t our favorites, we gave feedback, and as always, the team was incredibly receptive. That’s one of the things we appreciate most about Baoase—their sincere commitment to improving and personalizing your stay, right down to your food preferences. If there’s something you’d like that isn’t on the menu, they encourage you to speak directly to the chef—especially for longer stays. We also enjoyed another romantic dining experience for our anniversary, and it was once again handled with such attention to detail. The candlelit beach setting, impeccable service, and thoughtful touches made it a night to remember. This resort is made exceptional by its wonderful staff. The level of service and attentiveness is what keeps us coming back year after year. No matter where you are on the property, every employee offers a warm greeting—those small, consistent gestures make a big difference and reflect the world-class training and care behind the scenes. A special shout-out to some of our favorite dining servers and managers: Kadeisha, Monique, Karen, Fraegeley, Suli, Shamila, and Eudulis—though I know we are leaving others out. Each of you made our stay so memorable. We had the pleasure of spending time with France, who I believe is a director of operations. She is thoughtful, attentive, and clearly passionate about creating a flawless guest experience. It was a joy getting to know her. She’s a true gem and in exactly the right role! We also appreciated the Front Office staff and how hard they work to make everything run smoothly. They were quick to answer questions, respond on WhatsApp, and offer thoughtful help. Special thanks to Leannick, who answered many of our questions and was friendly and very informative. All of the bartenders—David, Justin, Jaylin, and others—were fantastic. They made delicious cocktails, and Midas helped us choose wines that paired perfectly with each meal. One little gem we want to mention is the on-site boutique. We purchased several unique and beautiful items there that now serve as lovely vacation keepsakes. The store is well-curated and filled with pieces that go far beyond standard souvenirs—it’s worth a visit! If you’re looking for a resort that blends total luxury with laid-back elegance, this is it. Baoase is a place where you can do absolutely nothing—and feel completely fulfilled. From swimming and reading under the palms, to watching birds and sipping cocktails as the sun sets over the sea, every day here is about peace and pleasure. For those who prefer more activity, the staff can help plan anything you’d like—excursions, spa treatments, private experiences—but for us, the real magic lies in simply being here. All in all, it was a fantastic stay once again. Having now spent 28 nights at Baoase, we already find ourselves counting down the days until our next visit in October. This resort continues to set the bar in the Caribbean—and far beyond. Their recent award of being #1 in the Caribbean and #25 in the world is well-deserved. Thank you to everyone who helped make this yet another week of fantastic memories.
