Reviews of The Octopus Tropical Oasis

We loved the hammock on the front porch, the outside shower, the flowers in the garden that attracted the colibri and all different kind of birds, the pets. The hosts were nice and receptive to our requests, if you asked for their help they were happily helping. Our flight was delayed and they let us stay until later free of charge, that was very generous and it eased the stress of having an already long flight delayed. We rented a car with them and because we stayed for a longer period they picked us and dropped us off at the airport. There was a nice booklet in the house with loads of suggestions. Thank you for everything ✨

The common kitchen, the fact that we had to ask for clean sheets, which were not spotless and were not a material that help with the heat. Lack of AC, we suffered quite a bit in the first day after we arrived (mid May) but we got more used to it afterwards. We had a fan that helped a bit though.

TANJA and Leo are great host and made the entire family feel at ease. Provided us with use of a car for the duration of our stay for a minimal fee.

Super quiet, 5 minute walk to the beach, swimming pool and family gathering area

We wanted to have a relaxing family holiday in the village we once lived in and we did! The hosts were very easy going and easy to reach and communicate with. We could cook our own meals, enjoy seeing the ocean from the rooftop terrace, easy parking, a nice little pool to cool down in after a day at the beach. The location was good if you love the nicer and less tourist packed beaches on the west side of the island. The animals were nice to have around and plenty of birdlife and lizards to keep us entertained. I can definitely recommend this place.

The area is under construction and many new places are being built. When driving up the Octopus that first night after a long journey it felt a little messy but once inside the grounds it’s a true oasis.

Great little tropical oasis, in a brilliant location with a beautiful garden. The owners are very accommodating. We will definitely be back!

Nice place in nature. I like the shower best. If you like nature and wildness I really recommend this place. The host was great.

Very nice place, feels like you are in the middle of nature

Leo and Tanja were great hosts, very helpful and friendly, and wait til you meet pai , she might adopt you, be prepared to rent a car, but driving in curaçao is easy ,

We loved our stay here. We liked the location as it was in a quiet neighborhood but with amenities nearby and a great starting point to explore the rest of the island. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs and we liked that it was outdoors. Bedrooms and bathroom were spacious. The garden/grounds were beautiful with lots of flowers and plants. Our hosts Tanya and Leo were great. Very responsive and helpful to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again.

It is truly an oasis. We loved the outdoor living space illuminated by lovely lights and so many plants, birds and lizards to observe. It was clean, the bedrooms were comfortable and although there is no air conditioning, we all slept well with the fans provided. It’s location is perfect. Lovely beaches 5-7 minutes, Willemstad 20-25 minutes, Centrum grocery store 7 minutes, airport 15 minutes, flamingo habitat 5 minutes and the furthest Westpunt beach about 45 minutes by car. The hosts Tanja and Leo, are wonderful, accommodating people and made our stay just perfect. They provide a wonderful binder full of useful information about, beaches, restaurants, wildlife and points of interest which we used everyday. We were able to rent a car through them which was a very good value and included pick up and drop off at the airport. This was a girls’ trip, but my friend and I are planning on bringing our husbands back next February! I travel a lot and do not usually return to a place I’ve already been, but I can’t wait to come back here! The accommodation and the island were better than I ever imagined!

I really have no complaints. Just a couple of suggestions. There is a clothesline behind the building, but a drying line or rack under the cover of the open living space would be nice when it rains. A little table fan or ceiling fan would be helpful to keep flies and mosquitos away. That being said, our stay was not impacted by the lack of these things.

Amazing place with several animals (birds, cats and dogs). The place is perfect to feel surrounded by a real natural paradise. The service and communication is excellent, looking forward to be back.

Nice spacious rooms with large outdoor kitchen and nice garden

All ok

We did like the total rest and silence of this place, totally relaxed. And totally surounded by green and animals/birds. We don't like the massive holiday hotels ourselves, this is a perfect place to unstress!

The WIFI was not always that great, that could have been better.

Everything was excellent.

Sometimes too hot in the bedroom.

It's calm and relaxing

Everything was good no problems

Tanja y Leo your attention is amazing!! Relax place, great price in relation with your benefits! I recommed for your vacations 10/10. I will come back in vacations and contact us.

Nothing.

The room we stayed in was great, Theo and Tanja were great people, and the communication was very easy.

Super lovely place, small bungalows surrounded by mini botanical garden, lovely pool in the middle of the area for a relaxing day. Hosts are super super super nice, trying to help with all kind of requests. Place has a kitchen with refreshments, so that you dont have to run searching for a supermarket if needed. Clean and comfy

No A/C in the room, only a fan, which can be quite uncomfortable, as climate is hot and humid. Few ants in the bathroom, but that is understandable considering gardens all around the area. The location is not the best, you definitely need a car to move around, but close to lovely Kokomo beach.

Is a property very comfortable and very nice. You are arounded of nature

Friendly family. Amazing laid back host. Was a bliss staying with them. They picked us up from the airport and help to arrange a car. Place is really comfortable.

Lovely owners, Nice view Room and terrasse Pool Awesome garden It’s clean and smell good
