LionsDive Beach Resort

We were very impressed by how beautiful the resort was. We were there with our daughter she belongs to a dive team. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Especially Peaches. She was so sweet and a nice addition to our wonderful vacation. Food was also good everywhere we ate. I am also a cat lover and was thrilled to see and know the resort takes care of these beautiful animals.

Overall a great place to hang out. Loved the family feel and would enjoy a return with the grandkids. The beach hangout was very comfortable and great access for all water activities. Staff were always friendly, polite and helpful. We enjoyed the constant activity of help maintaining the property at all levels. Never a problem. Location of resort was great. If we could get there easier, we would visit more.

We stayed at LionsDive from April 11-18,2026. It is our first time in Curacao and will definitely not be our last! The food! There was so much flavour and is affordable! It is better to stay in and eat at the restaurants in the resort than go out to mambo beach blvd for food. People are friendly and helpful. There’s snorkelling right on the beach. We spent so much time just watching the fishes and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. They offer free shuttle service to Williamstad too. This is a very nice resort with unlimited things to do to keep you occupied.

We stayed a week from Fri-Fri during mid-April 2026. The staff were gracious and accommodating. The room was well appointed and clean, with a really nice rain shower. The included toiletries were quite nice. Food choices were fine, and there is a larger choice just down the beach at Mambo Beach. My wife and son had very good experiences with the on-site Oceans Encounters. They did one single tank boat dive and two shore dives. We would definitely go back.

LionsDive is a well-run, beautiful, lively resort with lots to see and do right on the property. My husband and I enjoyed our time there and particularly loved our oceanfront balcony. It was our first trip to Curacao, though, and it wasn't really the right place for us. We didn't end up taking advantage of many of the amenities because we were more interested in exploring the island, its beaches and its sights with our car. We had stayed in (and enjoyed) Scuba Lodge in the city for the first 3 nights and in retrospect, we should have stayed there for the remaining four or moved to some kind of accommodation among the west beaches. If we return to the island with our kids and grandkids, however, we would be happy at LionsDive with its calm, safe lagoon and convenient access to restaurants and stores (Mambo Beach Blvd is not a street, it's a mall). If you reserve here, sign up for their helpful newsletter because it tells you about opportunities such as bonuses for reserving directly, a free guided walking tour, a guided tour to Tugboat or Director's Bay south of the resort, a daily shuttle into Willemstad, etc. I would still rent a car to explore the island for a couple of days tho!

My husband and I went to celebrate our 39th anniversary and to dive. We previously stayed at LDI in 2025 and loved it. The grounds are immaculate and clean, the water is warm and beautiful, the restaurants are convenient and offer a variety of options without ever leaving the resort (we have traveled the island in the past). This trip we just wanted to relax and enjoy the diving and people. Eldrich is a wonderful start and finish rep for LDI. He greets you and handles your luggage to and fro. James st the Hemingway bar has become a pro! He was training our last visit and now a great host for happy hour. Cindy, one of 3 original employees made our anniversary on 4/11 extra special with her Caribbean hospitality. And we love Nemo and Chill! Our stay was more than we expected and will return again to this Netherlands Antilles gem!

Lionsdive is absolutely one of the best resorts I’ve ever stayed at. The hotel and grounds are beautiful and well maintained, very clean. The 50m pool is stunning. Always chairs available on the beach. Our room was a 2 bedroom apartment and it was perfect. The entire dive shop at Ocean Encounters was wonderfully run. My girl Peaches at the towel hut was such a happy part of our stay, we loved chatting and feeding the cats with her every day! This was our second time here and will definitely be back in the future!

Stayed for vacation with my 7yo son. Ocean/beach was amazing and great for kids with good snorkeling spots right there that kids could easily access. Right next to Mambo beach and a outdoor mall with several decent restaurants (although still expensive). Resort restaurants were pricey and didn't have many kid friendly options. Note there are fridges in the rooms but NO microwaves. Wish I had known that before booking. The front desk staff was willing to microwave things for us but was not ideal to have to walk all the way up there for them to do it for us. Rooms were air conditioned but set at 71.6F/22C and although it appeared you could adjust the temp it would go back to the preset temp within an hour. This was too hot to sleep comfortably for me. Kids pool was pretty small but my son loved the big lap pool and there was always space for him to play there. Location on the island was not central making it somewhat of a drive (40-60min) to many of the beaches we visited, but not terrible. Was close to airport (30min) and downtown (20min). Resort and rooms generally clean. Lots of kids and families there. Would probably stay again.

Great atmosphere! Very accommodating and quick to resolve any issues. All 3 of our rooms were comfortable with great views. The resort is a lot bigger than I originally thought. We didn’t find the Piazza for the first few days, it’s tucked away near the lap pool that we also hadn’t noticed. The bars are a lot of fun, just remember cash for tip! I loved that they provided each room with a beach bag and reusable water bottles. Also, reef safe sunscreen is located near the beach towel pick up. I thought there was a playground but we never found one. The snorkeling is amazing and it’s such a safe area for the kids to swim and snorkel without the push and pull of waves.

Fast, friendly check-in but when we got to our Deluxe Ocean View room, we were looking down at a construction site. Yes, we also had a great view of the marina with the ocean in the distance but once construction noise started at 9 am, the balcony was too noisy to enjoy. The room was updated and spacious. Coffee pods were unique brand and absolutely wonderful. Fridge is really tiny. There was no top sheet on bed, just a duvet which was too warm unless you really cranked the A/C so we got one from housekeeping. Beach and water entry had many stones and bits of coral so need to tread carefully. Snorkelling was amazing. Water clarity was perfect, lagoon was fairly calm and the quantity and variety of fish was mind-blowing, especially when someone was feeding them from above. Imagine being surrounded by at least 50 fish within 4 feet. Plenty of palapas for shade but you need to put your stuff down before 8 am or you will be stuck frying in the sun. We had a coupon for a free buffet breakfast at Hemingway and while there was a decent variety, food was not hot and not particularly flavourful, except for the smoked salmon. Happy hour at Chill on Sunday was great, half price beer and the local Brasa beer is similar to Corona. Happy hour on the weekday was overcrowded, 10 deep at the bar so not worth it. We read the reviews on the resort restaurants and decided to stick to Mambo Beach, Boca and Greenhouse were our faves. Definitely worth the walk across the street to Reefs Cafe for delicious takeout. Free shuttle to grocery store and downtown was very convenient. The resort was full but no issues. Many kids at the family pool so we stayed at the beach.
