Where do I even begin? The stunning ocean/bluff/sunset view? The spacious and luxurious house? The best property manager/concierge (Hynrich) on the island? What a stay!

We wanted to rent a house for our honeymoon that would allow us a sun-drenched and relaxing week. With the infinity pool, great snorkeling right off the bluff stairs, the fantastic weather - with near perfect sun and constant ocean breezes, and every amenity we could have wanted in the house....we barely left the property!

Janet and Hynrich contacted us before the trip and we arranged to have our list of groceries bought and delivered for our arrival. This was the best decision as we used the gourmet kitchen and wonderful gas grill to cook almost all our meals when we were there. The two dinners we ventured away from the house were at Kura Hulanda Lodge's restaurant on property - quite tasty! And then Sol Food (only open Friday-Sunday) - amazing pizza!

The house sits in a pseudo "neighborhood" at the back of the Kura Hulanda Lodge, but is essentially on the northwest tip of Curacao. This means that you get the best breezes on the island and most certainly the best sunsets right off the point. I'll post some of our pictures.

Hynrich was fantastic during our stay and was constantly checking on us to make sure we were OK and had everything we needed. He also arranged for massages at the house with the BEST massage therapist I've ever had! As a former athlete who has had my fair share of massages (both therapeutic and relaxing) - this one was unreal.

Our one main adventure from the house was hiking/climbing Mt. Cristoffel Mountain in Cristoffelpark. This was quite the experience! First off, getting to the beginning of the hike itself was quite a journey as the road through the park is quite the sight and goes up and down and twisty turny. Make sure you have your best driver behind the wheel - it's awesome! Secondly, the hike was definitely on the more advanced/strenuous side of hiking. The last 20 minutes is basically pulling yourself up rough rock formations and tree roots. Definitely worth the view though!

Our honeymoon was absolutely perfect and we'd be happy to answer any questions candidly. We can't wait to plan our return visit to Surrender Villa!

Great place to stay, very private, beautiful furnishings, loved it all.
Beach is just down the road, 5 minute drive.
Will certainly come back!

We just returned from a great week at this villa. We've stayed at many villas on many Caribbean islands and this one was right up there with the best of them! Some highlights from our stay...
- Location: Set out on the westernmost point on the island, every evening provides an uninterrupted view of a great sunset. Also, it's placed in a gated community (good for safety) yet has virtually no other villas around it, and the few that are there are totally hidden away. While it is very secluded, there are some nice restaurants within a 15 minute drive (make sure to try Trio Penotte)
- Design: This is one of the best designed villas we've been to for two couples traveling together. It has a great layout, lots of outdoor space (both sunny and shaded) and is beautifully decorated.
- Amenities: A beautiful pool looking over the ocean, great furniture, a well-equipped kitchen with new appliances and kitchenware, a good washer and dryer (great for allowing for light packing). Everything in the villa was in working condition and well maintained.
- Hosts: From the outset, Janet was in touch with us. They arranged for pre-stocking the kitchen for us (great since we arrived late at night). We were met at the airport and guided to the villa (good, since it's 30 mins from Hato). And the owners and their reps were in touch (via email and phone) throughout our stay to ensure everything was okay.

So, as you can hopefully tell, we LOVED our stay here and would definitely return. Our thanks to Janet and Charlotte for taking such good care of us.

Spectacular property
My husband and I were looking for a special place to honeymoon. We were extremely pleased to arrive and see the property is more beautiful than any picture can capture.
Surrender Villa is a spectacular home! An easy drive from the airport. About a thirty minute drive across beautiful Curaçao.
We were met by the grounds keeper who thoughtfully put flowers all over the house and filled a welcome basket with scrumptious local goodies and champaign.
What a delight to walk into a spectacular vacation paradise setting.
The villa is designed perfectly... Big beautiful rooms, tastefully and beautifully decorated so all rooms have a view, most of the ocean.
The living area opens widely to a magnificent private covered veranda, infinity pool overlooking the western view of the beautiful blue ocean. The sunsets were amazing.
We explored local beaches and restaurants, went snorkeling at Go West Dive.. And took a sunset cruise that passed right by the villa.
Memories to last a lifetime. We would love to come back again and again.
