Two rooms that are very similar at Sandals Royal Curacao are the Subi Premium and the Carisia Luxury Room. Both rooms have the same layout but they are in different areas of the resort and have different decor.
Inside, the rooms are bright, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, with a king-sized bed. The decor feels clean and modern, with subtle Caribbean touches that added warmth without going over the top. We loved having a fully stocked mini fridge and a couple bottles of Robert Mondavi wine to enjoy in the evenings.
The bathrooms are upscale, with backlit mirrors, recessed lighting, and a sleek walk-in shower that featured a glass window peering into the bedroom. These are luxury rooms and feel like a layout of a normal hotel room, but with an elevated Caribbean feel.

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.
ortable retreat. We felt completely at ease and well taken care of and would absolutely consider this room category again for a future visit.
The Carisia Building at Sandals Royal Curaçao
The Carisia Building is the best choice for couples who want to be in the heart of the resort, with everything just steps away. Located right next to the main lobby, it offers unmatched convenience, especially if you want easy access to dining, drinks, and daily activities without walking too far.
Just outside the building, you’ll find some of the resort’s key venues: Kanaal, the cozy European-style coffee and dessert bar; the breakfast buffet; and Butch’s Chophouse, one of Sandals’ signature fine dining experiences.
While the building doesn’t have beachfront or oceanfront views, it makes up for it by being central to nearly everything. The main infinity pool and food truck area are just a short walk away, and if you’re planning spa treatments or excursions, being so close to the lobby is a real perk.

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

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.
