During our visit to Sandals Royal Curaçao, we stayed in a Subi Club Level Room on the third floor of Building 15, and it ended up being a wonderfully peaceful and elevated experience. While not right on the beach, we had beautiful views of the lush gardens from our private balcony, which became our go-to spot for morning coffee and evening wine.
Inside, the room felt spacious, modern, and thoughtfully designed, with a king-size bed, a cozy seating area, and an HD Smart TV we used to unwind in the evenings. The in-room bar stocked with a variety of liquor, wine, and mixers added a nice touch, especially for cocktails before dinner or a nightcap after returning from an excursion.

The spa-style bathroom was sleek and upscale, with a walk-in rain shower featuring a glass window into the bedroom, which added to the open, airy vibe. The single vanity had just enough room for us both to get ready comfortably, and the Red Lane Spa products were a treat.
One of the best parts of this room was the Club Level service. We had a private check-in on arrival, and the Club Sandals concierge team helped us get restaurant reservations and answered any questions we had throughout the trip. The all-day in-room dining was super convenient, and we made use of the Club Lounge for a quiet spot to grab a drink or snack.
Subi Building at Sandals Royal Curaçao
The Subi Building is located on the opposite side of the Carisia Building, offering a convenient yet slightly more tucked-away setting. If you’re looking for a room that keeps you close to the resort’s key amenities, but just far enough to enjoy a bit more quiet, Subi is a great middle ground.
You’re still just a short walk to the lobby, Kanaal coffee shop, Butch’s Chophouse, and the breakfast buffet, making mornings and evenings super easy to navigate. While it doesn’t offer beachfront views, the location is central enough that you can easily reach the main pool, food trucks, and Greek restaurant within a few steps.
If you plan on staying at the beach all day, this room may not be for you.

Opened in 2022, this adults-only, all-inclusive escape is designed for couples who want a balance of relaxation, adventure, and elevated style.
Dining & Drinks

- 13 Bars, including swim-up bars, a wine bar, and mixology-focused lounges
- Locally Sourced Ingredients and Curaçao-inspired menus throughout the property
The food here is elevated and better than most Sandals Resorts. We loved the food trucks for lunch, the coffee shop each morning, and an iced latte during the day. For dinner, there are so many options, but my favorites are Zuka and Gatsu Gatsu.
Pools & Beach
The resort has several large pools, including the iconic Dos Awa Infinity Pool, a stunning two-level infinity pool overlooking the ocean, a quiet secluded pool and pools with swim-up suites.
The beach has clear, calm water perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing. This is not the typical beach location since the beach that is swimmable is set on a river inlet with a floating dock creating the beach area.
Activities & Inclusions
At Sandals Royal Curacao, there are unlimited water sports like paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkeling, and scuba diving for certified divers. On land there is tennis, pickleball, beach volleyball, and access to a scenic 18-hole golf course (at additional cost).
At the main pool there is entertainment throughout the day and each night you can expect themed entertainment.
If you’re looking for a Sandals resort that feels both refreshingly different and undeniably upscale, Sandals Royal Curaçao is a standout. It combines Sandals’ signature service and amenities with a stylish, culturally rich destination, perfect for couples who want to discover something new in the Caribbean.
