The Rif at Mangrove Beach Corendon Curacao All-Inclusive, Curio by Hilton

The Rif is absolutely spectacular!! From our first introduction to Thai-Rock at check in to the day we left it was absolutely impeccable!! The resort is clean and nice (still doing construction on the top floor but the staff kept the area very well kept). The food everywhere is good, but especially the BBQ Pit where my boy Randall’s took great care of us!!!! The entertainment and activities crew were all fantastic with my boys (10/11)!! The highlight of our trip was a young man named Daniel at the water slide!! We extended our vacation an extra day because of this guy!!! Not only did he make the slides waaay more fun, he learned my boys’ names and would always play fun games with them! The boys begged to stay so they could be around him for one last day! The Mangrove and the Rif have A LOT of assets when it comes to employees, but none of them were more valuable to our stay than Daniel!!!!! Whatever the resort needs to do to keep him they should do it as a guy like him only comes along once in a VERY long time!! Simply amazing! He had a positive attitude, friendly, concerned with our well being and always made sure we were safe. We will definitely be back to see these workers again!! Honorable mentions that also made our trip incredible were: Tiffany, Tai-Keith, Quenton , Ray, Timo, and Johanna!!! Thank you all for making our stay so incredible and memorable!!!!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Rif for five days, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From day one, the concierge team, particularly Merve, Tai-Rock, and Tiffany, were amazing. Merve made the check-in process seamless, explained all the hotel amenities, and provided fantastic restaurant suggestions. Throughout our stay, they helped us book reservations, secure a cabana, and provided all the information we needed with a friendly and professional demeanor. The hotel staff was consistently receptive, empathetic, and genuinely concerned about our well-being. The pool was excellent, and the beach right in front of the hotel was beautiful and pleasant. We even had the chance to see turtles and fish, which was a delightful bonus. We dined at nearly all the hotel’s restaurants. The main buffet was well-stocked with a variety of delicious foods and desserts, including gluten-free options. My favorites were the Sushi and Turkish restaurants, both offering flavorful dishes and exceptional service from the hotel staff. Additionally, Mondi Café was a great spot within the hotel to enjoy good coffee options. Overall, The Rif provided an exceptional stay with its excellent amenities, beautiful location, and outstanding service. Highly recommend!

We got to spend a few nights here after a cancelled flight. The rooms were nice enough we spent the first night in a suite. Gorgeous room big extra area and view of the water and mangroves. You couldn’t sit on the patio due to the bugs and lack of breeze for a west facing room. The other room was a standard room again good sized. Nice breeze with an east facing room. During the whole time here lot’s of hammering and construction so don’t plan on sleeping in while in your room. The bartenders spent a lot of time googling how to make cocktails. I only ordered and old fashioned so very straight forward. It was OK but I’m glad it was included. The other cocktails we ordered they either didn’t have the proper items or were sub standard. (See google comment on needing a recipe.) We ate at the buffet. We tried the Mayan restaurant. No alcohol other than beer, understaffed kitchen. My carne asada was extremely tough to the point I wouldn’t eat it. My wife had octopus which was burnt on one side raw on the other. It’s a shame an animal like an octopus had to die and be served inedible. The server was running his butt off, but to no avail. There’s a nice sign about food waste in the Buffet. Too bad as you were trying to serve yourself they were taking food 20 minutes prior to the posted closing and throwing it away. They even took a plate my wife was getting dessert from and tossed it. I guess she didn’t need it any way. Overall they have a lot of work to do . Food Quality D Service D Drinks F Room B+ Oh I forgot to mention big signs in the bathrooms to not drink the tap water.

First of all I had high expectations seeing that I had already had some friends that came to curacao. I have stayed at all inclusive hotel before but this caught my attention especially because of the white sand beaches and cristal clear water. The personell is very friendly especially all the bartenders the host zeynep everybody is walking around with a smile. Also at the front desk Roshenna and Timo were very attentive to our inquiries. About my room the pillows are very fluffyy the air conditioning works perfect I had to request some extra blankets for me and my sister those were super comfy to. Lovedd itt ☀️

where do i even starttt, from the people to the food to the hospitality it was incredible!!! from the moment we got out the taxi Remie the “bell boy” greeted us with such kindness. took our luggages out and had complementary drinks on standby….checking into our rooms was the easiest with the help of Tiffany and Cansu with the up most kindness and respect for us. The resort itself was beautiful and the food was delicious, so many options to choose from for all three meals of the day.

Very nice place to stay. Food is fine. Staff is very friendly. Rooms are clean and tidy. Unfortunately on the beach you smell a lot of exhaust gas and at the pool a bit, it's from the motors used for the hotel. Depending on the wind. At night time we had some inconvenience, people were very loud for a long time. Furthermore, perfect hotel. We had a lovely holiday.

It was a great vacation and stay. All the facilities was over there. I didn’t expect the hospitality and flexibility with children. Especially with babies and children the staff was zo friendly and helpfully. The food was zo great and delicious. The rooms are clean. The location is perfect, 10-15 minutes walk away from willemstad/the centre. I would like to thank Musa, Muhammed, Zeynep and all the other staff I forgot the names who made our stay so special. Hopefully we will get back again!
