The restaurant is located inside Lion's Dive Beach Resort. You can park in the lot across the street from the resort and walk into the lobby & make your way down to the beach where the restaurant is. The food was excellent and very fresh. Be warned, The flies will come by the bunches, have a repellent handy or dinner will be a pain; mint does the trick.
We went 3 times and everything was great, except our first young lady that was serving the deck on Saturday night. She started to chat with guests and completely abandoned all her tables for 25 minutes. Everyone was waiting for her...
The view is beautiful and the food is great. You get to eat and drink right by the beach so you can soak up the sun and water 😊. Definitely recommend
Food is pretty good. MASSIVE portions. Service and food coming out is a bit slow, but weve noticed this in general on the island. Views are gorgeous. Its in Lionsdive hotel (which is awesome btw) reasonably priced food and tasty with gorgeous views
Restaurant on beach is very nice. Went for dinner. The beef tenderloin was so good. My partner did not like the grouper. The service was terrible- so slow. Server would walk by numerous times with head down so we could not get her attention. She never checked to see if meals correct or if we needed anything. Kids served with no utensils. When I finally did get her attention wanting a box and the bill so we could leave she told me to wait. She was not busy. Maybe she was helping 1-2 other tables. Would not go back simply for that reason.
The food was ok, but not the best we had while at Curacao. The fish wasn't very good (too fishy) and the chicken was over cooked. The mixed drinks were weak. This location was very convenient for walking from any resort in the area. Probably wouldn't go back.
It was american breakfast so they couldnt go wrong with that. Eggs,bacon,bread,orange juice and yoghurt. But..i think they should put 1more cook between 9.30 and 10 for the custom made omelletes,so the line doesnt grow that long. All by all great service..there was a guy serving us (long,dark,friendly). He knew how to make you feel at home.
The food was delicious. A nice "eat on the beach" restaurant.I myself had the grouper filet which was very flavorful. My wife and youngest shared the meat trio which they had no complaints over. My oldest had pasta carbonara. She aswell enjoyed her dish.The waiter was very friendly and timely during the meal.The only complaint would be the flies swarmed our table as the food came. We shooed them away for a couple of minutes and then they left.Will be back this week to enjoy another meal here for sure. Barracuda will be next!Update: revisited this evening and had the fish and chips "barracuda" and my wife and oldest daughter had the mixed grill, and my youngest the chicken burger. Service was a bit slower and off tonight but still nothing major.
Go there on Sunday night and dance the night away to amazing live music. It's the best vibe you could ask for. Wish we found out about this place sooner in our trip! We started our night here around 9pm and when they shut down around 11, we went to Wet n Wild, which is just a 3 minute walk away.

Living the Dushi Island Life isn’t complete without a stop at Pizza Mare! I swung by after a day of treasure hunting (and hammock napping, let’s be honest) and hit the jackpot with their margherita pizza. 🍕 Simple, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The sea breeze, good company, and authentic Italian flavor felt like the perfect Curaçao evening. Grab a table by the ocean, and you’ll know exactly what I mean when I say ‘the treasure is out there!’
The best pizza on mambo beach. Conveniently located right off the beach and plenty of seating. Fast friendly service and family friendly. Great Italian dishes and fun location. Highly recommended!
Was empty and super fast service for our Gnocchi . Askedd to make it spicy which the did and was good experience n taste .
Had a craving for pizza so we headed here. I was told only certain pizzas could be done half/half so I got one that was compatible with that option. My husband had the vegetarian pasta which had small potatoes in it (not listed on the menu). It was fine, nothing special… he likes potatoes, but it’s an odd ingredient for such a dish. Had the ice cream for dessert.
Best salmon dish ever had. Cooked to perfection with a great assortment of vegetables. The pizza was also amazing. Alejandro was great. Highly recommended
Nice little restaurant at Mambo Beach! Friend and I ordered a pizza each, which turned out to be too much food seeing as we also had an app! We had the garlic bread with cheese which was good, and then I had a pepperoni pizza which was also good but I could only finish half. My friend had a pizza with sausage and onion on it, forget what it was called.The food was good, fast service, and my cab sauv wine was chilled which I thought was nice!Only visited once on our 1 week trip, but if I am ever back in Curacao, I would return!
Exceptionally good pizza find. My #2 on island. The thin crust is one of the best I ever had anywhere. The sauce is very good. The Meat Lovers had just the right amount of good quality meat. The only oddity was the sausage was a smoked style that tasted like kielbasa instead of Italian spiced sausage. Very good service. Clean place with nice outside ambiance.
Hands down the best neapolitan style pizza I ever had anywhere on the planet including Italy. Run by a Sicilian family, they make the crust a little thinner and crispier than typical because that's the style the Dutch like. The rest of the other items are decent but not Fantastic like their Pizza

The food was plenty and really good. The waitress was attentive and really nice.
Amazing view. The service was good.We liked the snack platter and the tempura shrimps.The drinks were mostly lemon juices.
Great beach to visit when on the island of Curacao. They have nice lounge chairs with cabanas over them for shade. There's bathrooms, a convenience store, food vendors, and free parking. The water is beautiful and warm. If you're the daring type, you can jump off the cliffs to the water below.
The ambiance is beautiful, food wasn’t wow factor.My husband got a sandwich and the bread was hard. It looked toasted but got cold and the bread became hard. I ordered a poke bowl and it was good not the best I have had.
Beautiful and cozy beach club. Delicious meals and snacks, nice drinks and cocktails and good service. Everything you could wish for to spend a delightful time at the beach. Highly recommended.
WowRight on the beachBeautiful atmosphere and great food
Beautiful setting right on Mambo Beach. It was very busy but the service was quick and staff were friendly. We got the poke bowl which was so fresh and delicious, a chicken wrap, tempura shrimp, and the Bitterballen sampler. The sampler was served in an egg carton and the crispy little balls were delicious, especially the cheese ones!
The beach club is very nice! The chairs were comfortable, the food was very good (breakfast + lunch). The service was very fast. No reservation is required, but arrive early because it gets crowded around 12pm. There is a parking lot, easily accessible toilets and some shops around the beach club.
Right by the beach with great views. For the price of the food you get large servings. Very good service and the staff is very friendly. Plan on around $25 for food and a non-alcoholic drink. Awesome atmosphere with a beach view. What else could you ask for besides the great food and service. My husband had the hamburger, and I had the fish and chips. I also had the house brewed iced tea, which was great it had mint leaves orange, a lime wedge, and ginger in it. Interesting, great flavor. Wish they had refills.

I like it. A very wide selection of options and everything I have tried has been good. And the meals are big.
Had a great experience at The Greenhouse. The reviews were already great so we decided to give this location a try. Had the “beef tacos” and they were more like steak tacos. Either way the food was great and the atmosphere was all love.
Fish tacos and beef carpaccio for lunch - good service but the food wasn’t to my liking. The fish was likely frozen and then fried when I thought I’d be getting something more fresh or local. May be what others are looking for - but I have no interest in fried food especially while I’m on vacation on an island that has plenty of access to fresh fish. Lunch wasn’t cheap either - $52 USD for two, no alcohol drinks.
Great food, fish was very fresh and flavorful. Red Snapper and Grouper was very good as were vegetables and shrimp. Service was a little lacking as it seemed the waiters were sharing table responsibilities. Outdoor seating and a clean atmosphere with ocean views. Easy walk to this location here in the Mood Beach area.
I came to Greenhouse because of the great Trip Advisor reviews. It was my first time in Curacao and it was my birthday dinner choice. Once we walked to the open seating area we met the nicest waiter named (Jodi). He showed us the indoor air conditioned seating area first but it has more of a club vibe. Since it was my last night in Curacao we wanted to enjoy the ocean breeze in their huge outdoor seating area.Jodi was amazing at explaining the drink and food options, he also informed us they had Happy hour on Margaritas and Mojitos which we all love. We tried the sushi rolls first and I love that they give you the option to select 2 different kinds of sushi if your indecisive for 10 pieces.We were in the mood to have seafood for dinner so we had the grilled snapper, shrimp pasta and conch with shrimp. Jodi went out of his way to make me feel VIP for my birthday and provided excellent customer service. The portions are large so just remember that when you see the pricing because it's more than worth it. We ended with a birthday song from everyone around us and cookies and cream ice cream and espresso martini which was delicious.I would highly recommend for date night, groups and celebrations!
Nice variety of food choices, fair pricing and friendly service. Meals are tasty and pretty large. We were a large group and all the different choices looked delicious. Good value for money. Very nice location at Boulevard. Highly recommended.
The Greenhouse was wonderful! All of our servers were so friendly and very good at their jobs. The atmosphere was fabulous. Right by the ocean with friendly people all around you. 10 stars if I could.
