Rating8.6Adults OnlySandals Royal Curaçao includes PADI-certified scuba diving, a full non-motorized water sports program, and access to the Old Quarry Golf Course. Pickleball is on-property — unusual for a Caribbean all-inclusive. Off-resort, Curaçao's compact geography means day-trips to Willemstad are feasible for butler guests with the MINI Cooper.
The signature pool — a two-level infinity design with the lower and upper tiers creating a cascade effect, all positioned with Caribbean ocean views. The name means 'two waters' in Papiamentu, the local language. Best at sunset from the upper level. The most photographed amenity at the resort.
The primary social pool adjacent to the Dos Awa, with swim-up bar access. Active during the day.
The low-activity alternative for guests who want calm water. Near the Sunchi building.
The Kurason Island Pool — a heart-shaped pool exclusively accessible to Kurason Island Suite guests. The most private pool on the property.
Swim-up pool areas connected to suite-level room categories — accessible for guests in swim-up room configurations.
Whirlpool/jacuzzi facilities across the property. Multiple locations — check front desk for current operating hours.
The Santa Barbara Estate has white sand beach frontage with calm, clear Caribbean water. The section directly in front of the main pool has a rocky coastline better suited for views than swimming. Other beach areas on the estate are sandy-bottomed and swimmable. Ask the front desk or beach attendants on arrival which sections are best for swimming versus snorkeling versus lounging — the estate is large enough that the answer matters.
