Welcome to Turtle Reef, your peaceful hideaway by the sea.
Turtle Reef is a stylish, light-filled cottage located within the beloved and well-maintained Marazul Dive Resort on the unspoiled west coast of Curaçao. This unique location offers direct access to the sea, breathtaking sunsets, and a calm atmosphere far removed from crowds and noise.
For guests who value peace, nature, and the ease of snorkeling or diving right at their doorstep, this is the perfect base. Whether you're reading on the shaded balcony, working on your laptop with a stable Wi-Fi connection, or simply enjoying a drink while gazing at the tropical garden and catching a glimpse of the Caribbean Sea: This is a place where you can truly unwind.
The cottage features a bright living room with air conditioning, a fully equipped kitchen (stove, microwave, fridge, coffee maker), and a bathroom with shower and toilet on the ground floor. The comfortable sleeper sofa is ideal for an extra guest, children, or a post-swim nap. Outside, the veranda overlooks bougainvillea, palm trees, and frangipani.
Upstairs, you’ll find a spacious bedroom with a queen-size bed, private bathroom with shower and toilet, closet space, and sliding doors leading to the balcony. This covered terrace with seating and a daybed is perfect for lazy afternoons or warm evenings with a gentle sea breeze.
The cottage is 91.5 m² (985 sq ft) and includes screened windows, both 220V and 110V outlets, hot and cold water, and private front and back entrances. There is fast, stable Wi-Fi throughout the house and air conditioning both upstairs and downstairs—so you’ll always stay cool and connected.
