On the edge of a cliff with magnificent views of the Caribbean Sea, private pool

Suitable for couples, family celebrations, wedding anniversaries, friends.

Villa Barbulete is set on the edge of a cliff, 60 meters above sea level and 135 meters from the coastline, in a gated resort overlooking the azure Caribbean sea in the western part of the Island, which is known as the green area , quiet, luxurious, peaceful, beautiful, and totally safe.

Cas About resort, adjacent to Cas Abou beach, is one of the most beautiful locations of the island, or perhaps the most beautiful. A small, quiet and guarded and gated resort with 50 private villas where living is spacious, private and secure.

Curacao has been voted the #1 Destination in the Caribbean by Readers Choices and #1 & #2 every year for scuba diving and snorkeling in the Caribbean. Visibility is well over 100 feet.

Our villa offers you all the opportunities for sunbathing, snorkeling and scuba diving's.

Cas Abou Resort has 2 lovely little private beaches, only accessible to residents , with fantastic diving and snorkeling facilities. One of them right in front of the villa, the other one at a 550 meters ( 600 yards) walk from the villa.

Cas Abou Beach (aka Bon Bini Beach) fully meets the vision that you have of a tropical beach :
white sand, palapaĀ“s ( covered with palm leaf umbrellas) , palm trees and other tropical vegetation.

According to National Geographic Cas Abao Beach ranks 4th of the best beaches of the world: " Ringed by reefs, CuraƧao hides a Caribbean underwater wonderland, and this beach is one of the few sandy ones on the arid island, with a bar and a shop to rent snorkel gear. Slip straight into the shallow crystalline bay alive with sea fans and coral, tropical fish, sponges, sea turtles, and more".

"A pleasantly warm sea with brilliant azure hues especially wonderful light in sunny weather, with world class diving and snorkeling facilities ".

Cas Abou Beach is adjacent to Cas Abou resort.
Cas Abou Beach has a dive shop and licensed instruction.
The villa is fully equipped for maximum 11 guests. It has 5 spacious bedrooms, 4 with kingsize beds and 1 with a kingsize bed and a single bed, 2,5 bathrooms, a huge living room, a fully equipped kitchen and an enormous covered porch with 180 degrees magnificent panorama view facing the Caribbean Sea ! From the private pool you have the same view.

Total living space spans over 4,520 sqft. Plot covers over 17,200 sqft.

At the right side of the villa a unique view on the salt pans of Cas About where graceful flamingos congregate in the inland bay, finding their food in the salt water.

Next to the Dutch kitchen there are at CuraƧao also a large number of international cuisines to find such as Argentine , Brazilian, Thai, Chinese , Japanese, Italian and more. The traditional local cuisine is also increasingly popular with tourists. Here you can for example enjoy delicious stews such as Karni stobĆ” ( with beef ) , Kabritu stobĆ” ( with goat ) , iguana (soup or satellite) or Ā“n CuraƧaoĀ“s bunny.

In Curacao you are almost guaranteed a perfect weather. Curacao is outside the hurricane belt, Tsunami proof, has never in recorded history suffered an earthquake and there are no poisonous animals on the island.
Booking a vacation in Curacao means sunny skies, warm calm water, and refreshing trade winds.

Curacao has the safest drinking water in the world. The drinking water is desalinated and better than the most expensive bottled water. You can drink the water straight from the tap and in any restaurant.

Beautiful view but had some issues.
The view from this place is great other than that it really needs some things addressed. When we arrived it was very musty and we had to air out directly. The towels and flooring really could have used a good scrub, The front gate did not work at the house so we had to move it manually not really that big of deal, but this property is located on a big cliff. The main areas of the property have no a/c, just bedrooms. These units try to keep up but just not real comfortable. The Wifi did not work at all so no tv or internet access. The beds are actually split twins pushed together it was okay. The garage and cleaning areas were full of ladders and painting supplies. After one night we just could not deal with all the issues so we went and stayed in town the rest of the week. I really wanted to enjoy this place but it really needs some attention.

What a View!
We were 7 friends staying in this beautiful property. The common area to eat with that spectacular view was incredible. We spent most of our time there. Els was very easy to work with and very accommodating. We had a great time. We just wished the common area in the living room had AC for the nights we wanted to escape the bugs. Overall we had enjoyed our stay very much! And we all fell in love with the 3 cats on the property that come every morning to eat from their bowl by the pool. ;)

I would love to give this property a 1 star rating so it would always be available when we want to stay here!!! The home is perfect for a small group that want to relax and enjoy the weather, the pool and the nearby beaches. If it's night-life you're looking for this is not it - quiet, secluded and so beautiful. We were saddened to hear of Ronald's passing and send our condolences to Els.

Beautiful Pool and Incredible Views
We loved the pool, the palapa, decks and the spaciousness of the property. We enjoyed a walk and a snorkle at the 'private beach'. We had difficulty getting some of the appliances to work properly and the kitchen faucet to supply hot water. We never did find a manual on the faucet and the property manager had to look it up on line. Basically you pull down a ring at the base of the faucet until a red light appears, then turn the ring and boiling hot water would come from the faucet for a minute or two. The property was large for just 2 couples, but the pool and outside decks were absolutely worth it!!

Amazing Unforgettable Experience!
Everything on Barbulette is awesome! The grandiose villa boasts a comfortable layout, perfect for accommodating a large group. Imagine relaxing by the ocean-facing pool, with playful pink flamingos gracing your porch. This idyllic location puts you within easy reach of CuraƧao's most stunning beaches, including the breathtaking Cas Abao, renowned for its exceptional snorkeling experiences, and the picturesque Westpunt beaches where you can even swim with turtles.

Beautiful cliff house
We enjoyed our stay here. Hilde was great to get back to us with questions. The only problem we had was the entry gate into the resort. The code we were given did not work. Luckily we had someone coming into the resort as we were trying to leave and he told us the code changes every 6 months and have us the correct code. The gate to the villa does not have a remote, so you are having to pull and push it open each time you want to enter/exit. Very heavy gate to slide manually. We were able to see the flamingos every morning and evening! Very spacious house and super clean. If you are traveling from US, they were plenty of adapters. But no wash cloths for your face and body, so bring those with you! The pool was very dirty, wood at the bottom and didn't look like it had been cleaned for awhile. Even after we skimmed the top, didn't feel comfortable swimming in it. Not a big deal, you have beaches too explore on the island! Bed was comfortable. We only had 2 people so we used the bedroom on the main level. We really enjoyed the outdoor seating areas (3). Gorgeous gardens at the villa. Plenty of dinnerware, etc. It is a 25 min drive if you are going into the city for dinner. Very convenient to the beautiful beaches of Grote Knip and Kleine Knip. We had the best snorkeling here. Check out the beautiful view from Santa Martha Bay which is nearby. And dinner at Tinto Bar y Cocino @ Jan Thiel beach was AMAZING! Sat right at the water. Would stay here again. Thank you!

-No air conditioning in the living room/kitchen main shared area. This would not have been a issue if there was screens on the sliding doors to keep bugs out so you could get a breeze in the house or if there was a fan provided by the host. When we arrived there was a fan in the house, but it didnā€™t work when we plugged it in. When we reached out to management they stated the fan was new and then said it was bought by previous guests so they wouldnā€™t provide a working fan. I asked what the best way to keep the living area cool and usable was- should we open the windows and doors or would the house fill with bugs? I got no response. -There is no hot water upstairs. They stated this was due to the water being heated by a sun collector, but we didnā€™t have hot water for the remainder of our trip. When I reached out later about the lack of hot water we didnā€™t receive a response from the management. -Management of the house does not have good communication skills. The checkin paperwork states that management would meet you at the house at checkin and go over things such as appliances, check the electric meter (since youā€™re charged for excess use of electricity), etc. This was not true as we never met management of the home during our stay. -There are not beach towels in the house, we used bath towels. This didnā€™t seem like a big deal except the towels are very fluffy and take days hanging outside in order to dry. -The beach accesses are overgrown by weeds and cacti.

Good communication. Entry procedures were as described. House is nice and also unique. One thing to know is that it is basically all open air upstairs where the main common area is located. Was plenty of breeze and we were comfortable. We spent most of our time at the upper outdoor table area or at the pool. Bedrooms do have AC. Bedrooms are split between floors, which worked well for use. Pool was clean. Not a single problem or issue.

I would unconditionally recommend this house for your Curacao vacation. The view was wonderful. There are so many activities to do in Curacao and the people are great. The only issue would be the bugs. The house has everything you need to cook the meals you may want during your stay, but with the number of good restaurants around you might not want to cook.

A decent stay
The property is nice enough, if not a little run down. The hosts were very easy to communicate with when things went wrong, which unfortunately happened more than once. They were prompt to investigate any issues. One complaint is that the "king beds" were two small twins pushed together with no support so they would frequently spread apart. Otherwise, the pool was nice and views were spectacular. It was lovely to enjoy the view and the breeze in the outdoor dining area.

Great House!
We were a group of 6 adults who recently stayed at Villa Barbulete. House was beautiful and well equipped. We utilized the bedrooms that enabled each couple to have their own private bathroom, and this gave us all total privacy. View from the upper deck was incredible and we spent time in the day watching boats in the sea, and every evening watching spectacular sunsets. Pool was warm and we spent many hours just soaking in it. Els and Ronald were very responsive in answering our questions about the house layout and changing our booking for us when our airline cancelled our original flights. My only complaint, and I know that this has no reflection on them, is that the noseeums were insane. Despite the noseeums, we had a wonderful vacation and if we return to Curacao, would stay at this house again.

We loved the villa. So much space to spread out, and spectacular views.
Bedrooms all have individual access and 2 are on one floor and 3 on another floor with access from outside only. The balcony was like in a movie. Could use more towels per room, fans in the great rooms where there is no ac and master bath did not drain well. All of that is minor, the house is really spectacular.

The views are stunning!
The home was in good condition and the setting was fantastic, the views are out of this world. While the location was fantastic I just wish the description was a bit more detailed regarding the layout, we are a family of 6 and didnā€™t realize all of the bedrooms apart from the master are only accessible from the outside of the home. This made it a bit of a challenge with little ones. Additionally I would encourage the owners to provide fans for the un air conditioned spaces of the home and the kitchen and family room for incredibly hot at times with no breeze outside. Lastly I wish the property had screens on all the openings as the bugs and were out and biting when the wind was low.
