I loved the place. Very nice antique architecture and well kept. The only thing that may be missing in the room is a washer and dryer. Other than that it is a perfect place to stay at. You truly feel being in the bario.

As a resident of the Island, I chose Bario Hotel for my mommy/daughter getaway. We booked a one bedroom apartment (R1).This was the perfect place for our bonding time and in walking distance from great restaurants. Nice and quite. We left there closer as Mom and Daughter.

I stayed for a month and definitely recommend it! The hotel is located in a central, safe, and vibrant area filled with colors and art. There was plenty to do within the hotel, including live music and tours, and it's easy to get to other places from there. The hotel was clean and spacious, the food was great, and the staff were extremely kind. Overall, it has a nice ambiance, and I hope to return in the future :)

Overall location of the hotel is ideal as it’s walking distance from many of the sites like the Emma bridge and punda, however I would say the rooms are not exactly as they advertise Atleast not the room I stayed in, it’s definitely more of a Airbnb vibes rather than hotel. I found it troublesome not being able to communicate with staff for assistance after a certain time, all communication was automated messages which didn’t help much. I feel the staff could have been more friendly and helpful. The highlight of this hotel is really the location.

I stayed here in late April after booking over a month in advance. Traveling with a friend who came all the way from Australia, I asked prior to booking to make sure I could get two 1-one bedroom rooms close to each other. I was assured it would be no problem, so I ended up booking two rooms for 5 nights.When we arrived, I told the Customer Experience Manager my name and reminded her of the special request in my reservation. She acted like it was the first she’d heard of it. After a few minutes of waiting, she explained they did not have 2 rooms together in the hotel but they owned property nearby - and she had 2 of those apartments close together. We agreed to take the off-site rooms and set off with the Manager to check in.The apartments were in old historic buildings that would make wonderful accommodations if some investment was made to modernize the infrastructure, but the places are in terrible condition. Both apartments were clearly cleaned prior - but upon entering, were hot, humid, dark, and full of mosquitos. There was also an overwhelmingly strong odor of septic that pervaded both adjoining houses. Although it was laughably awkward to not even acknowledge the putrid smell, I didn’t say anything to the Manager. I live on a neighboring island and am used to transient septic smells, so I genuinely assumed it would dissipate. Except we stayed there 2 nights, and the entire area smelled like portable toilet the whole time we were there.Likewise, I initially ignored the massive infestation of mosquitoes in both places, thinking we could handle it. Within the first hour, we went to the nearest grocery and bought coils, candles, and spray to supplement the rackets they'd provided. But it never got any better. And it’s not even the rainy season here, so I cannot begin to explain this condition unless somehow related to water/sewage issues in the area.We struggled to sleep there at all, between the clouds of mosquitoes, putrid stench, and loud street noise, not to mention the stiff, scratchy bed linens. After the second night, we’d had enough. We walked down the Renaissance, where I begged them for a room. I paid another $1500 for it on top of the $1500 I’d already wasted at Bario, but felt it was worth it to get out of the place we eventually dubbed “Alcatraz.” We tidied the Bario apartments, then dropped off keys with the staff before 10am on the 2nd day.Interestingly, we never got any correspondence from the hotel staff that was not a fully-automated message. The management team either knows full well why we ditched and didn’t need to ask and/or doesn’t care, because no attempt was made to even talk to us about our experience. Any reputable place would have offered to refund us for the extra days if they’d stuck you in a completely uninhabitable room, but that obviously didn’t happen.The only redeeming feature of Bario was the food. There are several cuisine “themes” available, and all the food we tried was fresh, well-prepared, and tasty. The dining environment is also surrounded by trees and art and fresh breeze - truly can’t be beat. But after 5 meals there, rotating through a variety of servers and shifts, we found it interesting that none of the servers were friendly or even rarely cracked a smile unless talking amongst themselves. Amusingly to us, the servers all wear black shirts that read “Keep Walking” on the back of them. There was never any reference to it or explanation that we found, so we would entertain ourselves at each meal trying to figure out what it meant. We decided it was obviously just a warning to any tourists considering staying there - just KEEP WALKING.

I loved the charming rustic feel of this small quiet hotel. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions we had about the area and things to do.

I was very impressed with the size of our apartment. It had two large bedrooms with a spacious kitchen and living room and also a large bathroom. We felt very comfortable there. The food at the restaurant was very good and the service was quick and amazing. All of the staff were friendly, positive, kind-hearted and helpful. The location of the hotel is ideal since it's so close to shops and restaurants.My only suggestion for improvement is that the restaurant should have more vegan options on the menu.I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to visit Curacao.
