Ideally situated on the southwestern area of Curacao, the Floris Suite Hotel boasts a blend of serene ambiance and upscale comforts. The hotel is enveloped in luxuriant tropical gardens, and within close proximity to a private beach.

Comprised of suites, the hotel offers 72 units that reflect an “at-home” feel savvy travelers are looking for. Guests will appreciate the covered private patios or French balconies with a garden or pool view that are available in each suite. The private patios and covered balconies are all furnished with a dinner table set, including lounge chairs – perfect for that al fresco meal or evening glass of wine.

High ceilings and mahogany doors and windows are in perfect balance with the coolness of the limestone floor tiles and the sleek design furniture. In addition, each suite contains a fully equipped kitchen or kitchenette. Bathrooms contain glassed-in shower or shower/tub combinations, and are stocked with complimentary Aveda toiletries.

For other diversions, check out nearby Willemstad with its bright buildings, play a round on the area’s championship golf course, or try your luck in the casino.

The hotel also has a well-equipped fitness centre. For any joggers and walkers, consider the ‘Coredor’ - a well-preserved course that starts across the street from the hotel and follows its path along the southern beach border.

Dining options include the hotel’s open-air restaurant ‘Sjalotte’ for breakfast and fine dining. The Chef de Cuisine is known for his subtle and varied combinations of tasteful fresh ingredients, in which Caribbean and European elements blend into a surprising taste sensation. Open-air seating in the tranquil gardens offers gentle breezes, adding to your comfort while sampling your delectable dishes.

Socialize with others at the Pool bar, which overlooks the beautiful garden. Sample a variety of exotic cocktails and coolers. The pool bar staff will cover all your needs, so there’s no need to interrupt your activities or miss a moment of your prime tanning time. The Pool Bar also offers a selection of drinks, light snacks, lunch and dinner.

The spacious swimming pool offers a toddler area, and is a central feature of the hotel. It’s designed as a ‘Caribbean version of a Roman bath’. Set in landscaped gardens under swaying coconut palms, the pool provides the perfect place to lay back and enjoy the hotel’s peaceful, sunny environment.
