PM78 Boutique Apartments

The apartment was fantastic, we stayed in the one located on the ground floor with a pool and exit to the sea. Very spacious, with a big terrace, Walking distance from the streets with nice restaurants and shops, with car parking places on the street. Will definitely come back again!

We stayed in the 5* / Private pool apartment (first floor). It was a nice, clean space and had everything you needed. The bed was comfortable, with good AC and shower/water pressure.The pool and outdoor area were nice, and we snorkeled right outside.The only issues, that prevented 5 stars from me were: No Microwave, No TV, and the pool was used by stray dogs for their baths and had a lot of mosquitos, so not really usable.Would I return - yes. I'll check to make sure they have the microwave though.Location - in the heart of Willemstad.

My rating is 2.5 stars.To US travelers: please be warned that the cost of the booking may not be what you see in your receipt in booking.com. Apparently due to exchange rate from EU to USD, and extra charges for PayPal / credit card payment there is a 5~6% fee which added an extra ~$60 to my booking. There is apparently no bank transfer app they use that accommodates for USD. I’ve never had a stay where it charges more than what the estimated base room cost is, so I was surprised. The manager Leon, offered to pay the ~6% fee on his side which he apparently did, but it still cost ~$60 more than the original estimate. In the end, I didn’t actually understand why this happened, and I got varying numbers from the manager (which was extra confusing), but I let it go as it seemed like he was doing his best. If you decide to stay here I would clarify the total cost you have to pay with the manager *when you book*. Or else it just feels like you’re getting scammed.The location is convenient and close to the downtown area, great food and drink places, iconic bridge. I give it 3 stars for location. 2 stars for actual stay and payment confusion though.I stayed in the junior suite room for 7 nights. It was small, and did the job. If you want the really nice experiences written on these other reviews, don’t book this room lol. You don’t have ocean view (which I knew about) and you can’t access the pool (which apparently is only private access for certain rooms). The first night I stayed I got small bug bites on the underside of my legs, so asked to change the sheets. Once the sheets were changed, there was no problem. Keep your food items in the fridge- we left some trash near the small trash bin in the room (because it didn’t fit) and after half a day there was a line of ants coming at our food. WiFi works, you can keep AC on for the night and the building won’t shut down like other places my acquaintances stayed at. But be aware the AC is placed so it blows directly onto you for the entire night - despite changing the angle of the AC fan.Leon, the manager is nice, I appreciate the ride to the apartment from my last hotel. He is helpful with local recommendations when talking with him. Make sure to give him a half-day to a day to respond to what’s app messages.

Great accommodations and Leon is a very responsive host. Had everything we needed to enjoy our morning coffee out on our balcony and the tap water is fresh and tastes great. The apartment is located very close to everything allowing for walks into the city for shopping and sightseeing. Will definitely stay at this apartment again next time we are in Curacao.

It was my second time visiting PM 78. For the first time in 2014 with my wife. We have planned to come back to Curacao ever since and it was clear that we would stay in PM 78 again. Now that we have a little boy, travelling that distance has not worked out yet. But now it turned out to be with a colleague to celebrate his 50th birthday on Curacao. There was no doubt to chose PM 78 again, this time the Urban Loft. Everything was absolutely perfect again: Great location in the best district of Willemstad, well-designed apartment with separate bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, dressing room. Fully equipped. Furnished with remarkable attention to detail. And pleasantly air-conditioned. The hosts are extremely helpful and warm. You can feel that there's a lot of passion in it. Flight delay and arrival late in the evening were recorded without any problems and we were greeted and instructed very friendly on site. Clear recommendation in all respects! There will definitely be a third stay in PM78 for me. Thank you, Cindy and David!

As Good As The Last TimeWe first stayed at PM78 almost 6 years ago. At that time we stayed a week in the Junior Suite and a week at the 5* Apartment. My review was glowing. This time when we planned our trip, we had a look around to see if there was anything better to try out. In the end we couldn't find a better place to stay and booked the Ocean View Loft for 2 weeks.As in my previous review, the location is stellar. You can walk to a ton of great restaurants. All your grocery shopping, eating and drinking needs are close by. The location is very safe, we never felt uncomfortable walking around at night.The Ocean View Loft is a great room to rent. The balcony is huge and spacious overlooking the ocean. The sunsets every night were spectacular. The rest of the apartment is very spacious with a European design. The entire wall to the balcony is a sliding glass door that opens almost the entire width of the room. We had the wall open the entire 2 weeks we were there 24 hours a day, closing it only once during a storm. Being able to sleep with the sounds of the ocean was great. You are able to sleep this way and still be comfortable thanks to their unique air conditioning system. It only cools the air over the bed, not the entire room. We slept very comfortably with this system. I was surprised by how well it worked.Cindy and David are great hosts. They are very attentive to your needs but will leave you be. They respond quickly to your questions or concerns. I have found dealing with them and their website very easy. Everything is open and clear on the site. The descriptions and photos accurately reflect what you are getting. The costs are detailed and known ahead of time.Overall another great stay. I would recommend this place to friends and family.
