Man fühlt sich gleich zu Hause

14-08-23 Die Anlage. Viele Pflanzen und Tiere, viel grün und alles total liebevoll und perfekt eingerichtet! Tolle Sonnenliegen, schöne Beleuchtung, Außenduschen und das Häuschen und die Terrasse bieten alles, was man braucht, um sich wohl und zu Hause zu fühlen. Melanie

Very happy that we booked Jan Kok Lodges

10-06-23 It was our first trip to Curaçao and we were very happy that we booked Jan Kok Lodges as our place to stay! The location is perfect – in the middle of the island (2 minutes drive to the Jan Kok Baai – where you can see flamingoes if you are lucky). Being so central means you can easily discover the whole of Curaçao. Nearby there are many beautiful bays/beaches and local restaurants (we liked Marfa’s @ Williwood). We stayed in the ‚Garden Apartment‘ – clean, tidy, nicely decorated, with a comfortable outside living area. And like all the other lodges it’s surrounded by lush green palm trees, plants and flowers. A hidden gem! Frederieke and Jeroen were very friendly and helpful hosts. They picked us up from the airport and even offered the opportunity of renting a car from them, which made our stay that much more comfortable and easy. We hope to come back to Curaçao again soon and would definitely stay here again, it’s a lovely place! Danielle

Oasis in Paradise

29-05-23 We are really thankful that we found „Jan Kok Lodge“ on Curacao, because it is an unique oasis in paradise. Our family of four travelled to Curacao in February 2023. Our kids Valentina & Konstantin (9 and 5 years) loved it so much, because of the wonderful garden full of iguanas. Every day they watched and counted how many of them they see. Additionally we got visits from the tropical birds every day. We stayed at the Iguana 3 apartment which is really close to the pool. Our kids where welcomed and the atmosphere is warmhearted. It is really relaxing to enjoy the silence and the breeze of the wind. Jan Kok Lodge is situated very good when you love to enjoy the beautiful nature of Curacao where not so many people are. That´s the reason why we have chosen this place. The beaches are really close, also the most wonderful beaches in the north of the island. The Lodge has everything you need: beautiful apartments with a big kitchen, a pool, a parking lot and most of all: silence and the feeling of pure freedom. For us Jan Kok Lodge is really something special – thank you so much for the great time Jeroen and Frederieke!Valentina, Konstantin, Bettina & Thomas

Beautiful place to explore Curaçao

08-04-23 We have just completed a 4-days-stay at the lodge with our two young girls. The lodge is just fantastic and a great place to stay and explore the island with or without children. Frederieke and Jeroen take a lot of pride in keeping their tropical garden, which is just beautiful and full of birds. Besides that the lodge offers a lot of amenities like the fantastic outdoor kitchen with library the small but very relaxing pool area and spacious apartments. Everything in the apartment is extremely well maintained and of good quality. Each apartment has a well stocked kitchen, good ACs, stable internet connection and TV with online streaming. Three great beaches are close by (5-10 minutes by car). And don‘t miss the famous Williburger at Marfas place just down the road. planetbarb

Peace in a piece of paradise

23-03-23 We loved the well cared for piece of paradise at Jan Kok Lodges! Welcomed by Frederieke and shown our sweet ‚outdoor living studio‘. Such a lovely place, beautiful nature, refreshing swimming pool, and peace and quiet! Jan Kok Lodges is central and so close to the amazing beaches of Curacao, if you choose to venture out as we did at times, but we also enjoyed laying low there, sunbathing and swimming in the pool! A beautiful home away from home! Thank you Frederieke for your hospitality and cheerfulness that reflects hugely a sunny day in Curacao! Kateandron30

Incredibly peaceful

15-02-23 We really loved our time at Jan Kok Lodges. It was so incredibly peaceful, we loved laying by the pool and reading, watching iguanas, and drinking a pina colada in our outdoor lounge area, enjoying the breeze and the sounds of the local birds. Can’t wait to come back! Kati

Great value in a stunning natural setting

15-01-2023 Having seen all of the lovely pictures on the website and the Instagram account, I was unprepared for the lush and abundant vegetation that takes over the senses on arrival at Jan Kok Lodges. It is just what I was craving in a long grey Canadian winter. Everywhere you go, you’re surrounded by green palms and cactus and flowers in every color. I loved spending my days on the veranda and by the pool! Frederiejke and Jeroen have created quite a paradise.
We stayed in the Garden bungalow and found that the kitchen had everything we needed to make meals and take lunches with us to the beach (JL lodges provides cooler and ice packs). The bed was very comfortable and the housekeeping did a great job keeping the towels and sheets fresh during our weeklong stay. Frederiejke and Jeroen were just a WhatsApp away whenever we needed anything. We loved being able to keep the windows open all day and were surprised at how cool it stayed. We used the ac at night only for sleeping and it worked well. We never got the hot water to work but we didn’t miss it.
The location and the rental car were perfect for visiting spots all over the island, especially the west side for all of the hikes and beaches. We drove into Willemstad for a culture day and for groceries at van den Tweel supermarket. In sum, it was the perfect setting for our first (and certainly not last) trip to Curacao and allowed us to have a fantastic experience on a very reasonable budget. We can’t wait to come back!  BearAboutTown

Luxuriöser Aufenthalt

05-09-2022 Es war ein luxuriöser Aufenthalt in ruhiger, natürlicher Umgebung, mit Stränden und Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Nähe.
Die gemütliche Veranda im Freien, die zusätzliche Außenküche und der schön angelegte Garten. Jan Abraham

Ruhe und Frieden

01-09-2022 So ein schöner Ort, so eine Ruhe, so ein Frieden. Kann es kaum erwarten, wieder zu gehen. Giselle

Bleiben Sie hier, Sie werden es nicht bereuen

28-04-2022 Wow, ich könnte ewig über Jan Kok Lodges schwärmen, aber ich werde versuchen, bei der Sache zu bleiben und dies informativ zu halten!
Apartment (Outdoor-Wohnstudio) – Der Innenbereich enthält ein modernes Badezimmer (tolle Dusche, modernes Waschbecken/Toilette, viel Ablagefläche und Handtücher) und Schlafzimmer/Küche. Das Bett selbst war sehr bequem und die Küche in der Wohnung war mit einem vollwertigen Kühlschrank, Gasherd, Töpfen/Pfannen, Geschirr, Heißwasserbereiter, Kaffeemaschine, Toaster und Utensilien ausgestattet. Alles war blitzsauber und die Wohnung war wunderschön. Die Klimaanlage funktionierte hervorragend (obwohl wir sie nur nachts brauchten, weil die Brise alles angenehm hielt).
Der Außenbereich war allerdings unser Favorit! Wir haben die meiste Zeit in der Außenküche gekocht, die sich auf einer Veranda befindet und komplett ausgestattet ist. Es war so schön, draußen zu kochen und zu essen und dabei die Brise zu genießen (die Fotos werden dem nicht gerecht). Der Pool hat sowohl einen überdachten Bereich mit Bänken, um eine Pause von der Sonne zu bekommen, als auch viele bequeme gepolsterte Liegestühle. Es gibt auch zwei Außenduschen auf dem Grundstück, wenn Sie den Sand abspülen wollen, nachdem Sie vom Strand zurückkommen.
Die Lage – Frederieke gab uns wirklich detaillierte Anweisungen, um die Lodge zu finden (obwohl sie nicht allzu schwer zu finden ist, war dies dennoch hilfreich). Die Lage ist großartig, nur 15 Minuten von 3 verschiedenen Stränden (Daibooibai, Porto Marie und Cas Abao) und ein paar Restaurants entfernt. Es gibt kleine Lebensmittelläden etwa 5-10 Minuten entfernt, wenn Sie kochen wollen, wie wir.
Wenn Sie einen erholsamen Aufenthalt in einem tropischen Paradies suchen…., dann suchen Sie nicht weiter. Bleiben Sie hier, Sie werden es nicht bereuen. Elyse

Mein Paradies fern der Heimat

01-01-2022 Curaçao ist nicht nur die beste Insel, die man besuchen kann! Die Jan Kok Lodges sind bei weitem besser als alles andere auf der Insel. Wir waren schon mehrere Male auf Curaçao und haben jedes Mal an verschiedenen Orten übernachtet! Wir bedauern es immer, nicht die ganze Zeit in Jan Kok geblieben zu sein. Zugegeben, man hat keinen Zugang zum Strand, aber die Orte, zu denen man von der Unterkunft aus Zugang zum Strand hat, sind überbevölkert und meist künstliche Strände! Jan Kok ist zentral gelegen, Sie können zu den schönsten natürlichen Stränden auf der Insel innerhalb von 5-30 Minuten Fahrt, je nach Strand sein! 20 Minuten in die Innenstadt! 15 Minuten zu einem wunderbaren Supermarkt! 30 Minuten zum Wandern! Das Grundstück hat die schönste Landschaftsgestaltung, die Sie je gesehen haben! Der Pool ist entspannend! Der Wind ist magisch! Sie haben Outdoor-Küchen, um die Natur beim Kochen zu genießen! Gut bestückte Bibliothek im Freien! Schöne und komfortable Wohnzimmer im Freien! Strandhandtücher! Duschen im Freien zum Genießen! Bequeme Betten! Wifi! Bluetooth-Lautsprecher! Gated Bereich für Ihre Autos! Was kann ich noch über diesen Ort sagen? Oh ja, die Besitzer behandeln Sie wie Familie! Super hilfsbereit, nett, charmant und lustig! Sie werden buchstäblich denken, dass Sie auf dem Grundstück eines Familienmitglieds wohnen! Meine einzige Beschwerde wäre, dass ich nicht hier wohne! Obwohl ich schon oft davon geträumt habe, dass sie mich bitten, dort zu wohnen und ihr Anwesen zu führen! :) Justin H

Unglaublich!

01-09-2021 jan kok lodges hat meine erwartungen bei weitem übertroffen. so eine tolle gastfreundschaft und so viele durchdachte Details überall – tupperware, eisschrank für den strand usw. ich habe in einem studio gewohnt und es hatte eine tolle küche (einschließlich mikrowelle!) und eine schöne terrasse. die küche im außenbereich war komplett ausgestattet – ich habe die meisten meiner mahlzeiten dort gekocht und die french press benutzt, um jeden morgen kaffee zu machen.

das grundstück selbst ist wunderschön – so grün und üppig. es ist auch in einer tollen lage, in der nähe der flamingos bei den salt flats und eine schnelle fahrt zu den westpunt stränden und dem christoffel mountain. ich habe meinen aufenthalt hier wirklich genossen und wünschte, ich hätte länger bleiben können! Hannah L

Ich habe es geliebt; ein Zufluchtsort und ein tropisches Paradies, eine Freude zu erkennen, dass Curacao auch dies ist

18-03-2021 Die tropische Umgebung; der Garten ist in jedem Detail so schön angelegt, dass er Liebe ausstrahlt und die liebevollen Details wie ein Grill vor jeder Lodge und die schöne Aussicht von jeder der Terrassen, die Art und Weise, wie Frederique und Jeroen dafür sorgen, dass man sich wie zu Hause fühlt; nichts ist ihnen zu viel. Die Lage auf der Insel ist perfekt! Die Lage auf der Insel ist perfekt. Es ist eine gute Mischung aus „back to basic“, aber mit viel Luxus; alles ist im Zimmer vorhanden, sogar die Kühlbox für den Strand, jeden Tag saubere Strandtücher usw.! Johanna

Peaceful stay in the midst of nature

12-02-2021 We had a lovely stay at the lodges! It’s such a quiet and peaceful place with a beautiful view on the salt ponds. The nature gives you a feeling that you’re in a jungle! We loved the pool area and the spacious shared outdoor kitchen space. The cats and, especially, dogs were very cute! Our studio was cozy and modern – we loved the interior, and you can really see the attention to detail! It was nice to have air conditioning (you pay extra for it but it’s not much if you use it only by night), European plugs, all the cooking appliances and plenty of towels. The location of the lodges is perfect – between east and west, you get to see flamingos nearby, there are some beaches 5 minutes away (by car), and you can get some local food at a nearby cafe across Williwood sign, where you can get kabritu burger and pastechi. Frederieke was very hospitable and responsive, she gave us recommendations, helped us make a restaurant reservations, and it was very helpful and easy to rent a car (from them). Thank you! We loved it! Anna

Breezes and birdsong

15-01-2021 We recently spent three weeks at JKL while exploring the island of Curacao. While not a five star resort , it is a comfortable, extremely well located, lushly landscaped budget accommodation. We stayed in both the cozy Outdoor Living Studio, and the spacious Bungalow with its massive front porch. It is very easy to relax at JKL in the midst of palm trees, cacti and flowering bushes, and easy to get to nearby beaches and parks. The owners/hosts , Frederieke and Jeroen, are on site, helpful and available to assist and address any needs that arise regarding lodging or enjoyment of the island. Highly recommend Rob C

Holiday

15-08-2020 We spent 20 nights at the Lodge and it was like home! The Lodge is a Garden of flowers and birds, and every day we returned and the Gate to the Lodge opened it was a feeling of Welcome Home!
Frederieke and Jerome are always- and I mean always!- reachable and welcoming, always with a smile in their faces and always busy to keep everything cosy and nice! The Lodge is perfectly situated! During our stay we visited all the different beaches- the nicest are not more than a 15 min drive away! But be sure that you never will drive more than about 30 minutes no matter what might be your favourite place to go- and Curaçao really has overwhelming beaches! We never saw so
many different kind of blue!!!!
And- please don’t hesitate to visit this island right now! Yes, it is difficult travelling during corona times BUT once you are here you will forget everything about it and just relax! Coming now to Curaçao gives you the chance to explore the island as you possibly never will again: the beaches are not crowded- you have a lot of space and we were happy every day to be right here!
Thanks Frederieke and Jerome! Dunja T

Des vacances de rêves dans un endroit magique!

25-02-2020 Nous avons passé 4 jours dans ces magnifiques lodges! Le décor est féerique, les gens sont super sympathiques et accueillants. On se sent chez nous.Il y a un BBQ au charbon de bois dans chaque lodge pour se faire un bon souper après une journée au soleil. Les commodités sont complètes. Nous reviendrons accompagnés assurément! C4thC4th

the place to stay on the island

30-11-2019 If you want to travel individually – just stay at Jan Kok Lodges: a really quiet and green place in the countryside and very close to wonderful bays and beaches. The owners are very friendly and even rent cars for reasonable prices. Hans Joachim Schmidt 

A green oasis

02-09-2019 A green oasis close to the island’s most beautiful beaches. The hosts were really serviceminded and friendly. We will definitely recommend this lovely place. Marie Kongsgaard Nielsen

Loved this place!

29-03-2019 Loved this place! The property a gorgeous sprawling hilltop garden. All lodges are very private separated by lots of plants and spread over the property. This was a great place to stay on the north end of the island. 15-20 min drive to all the best beaches. We checked out a bunch and ended up at Little Knip for two days, also enjoyed Playa Porto Marie. Plenty of beaches for different tastes. Everything was as described, hosts were fast to respond to questions. Staff was top notch, very cool guys. Highly recommend! Julia Warnock

THANK YOU SO MUCH

11-03-2019 Wir haben drei Nächte in einer der Lodges verbracht. Das Zimmer war mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht, Küche, Bad, Klimaanlage, Bett, Grill. Der Pool und der Garten waren liebevoll gestaltet und wunderbar zum Entspannen. Frederieke und ihr Mann waren unglaublich freundlich, halfen uns mit Medikamenten und gaben uns gute Tipps. Herzlichen Dank dafür! Marcel und Jessica

Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt mit netten Annehmlichkeiten

13-01-2019 Meine Familie (ich, meine Frau und zwei Kinder im Alter von 12 und 14 Jahren) war Ende Dezember 2018 für neun Tage hier. Unsere Buchung wurde ursprünglich über Expedia gemacht. Als wir jedoch ein paar Nächte hinzufügen mussten, um früher anzureisen, war Expedia so gut wie nutzlos, was eine einfache Änderung hätte sein sollen. Die wunderbare Besitzerin, Frederieke, war so nett und hilfsbereit, dass wir die Änderung schließlich einfach selbst vorgenommen haben.

Ich habe über Frederieke auch einen Mietwagen organisiert, der bei unserer Ankunft in der Lodge auf uns wartete. Frederieke kümmerte sich auch um den Flughafentransfer für uns bei der Ankunft.

Die Lodge liegt etwa 15 Minuten vom Flughafen entfernt. Sie ist nicht gut ausgeschildert, aber mit Google Maps konnte man sie finden. Sie liegt abseits einer Nebenstraße auf einem Hügel zwischen einigen Einfamilienhäusern. Bitte beachten Sie, dass man NIRGENDWAS zu Fuß erreichen kann. Sie brauchen wirklich ein Mietauto. Google Maps fand jeden Ort, nach dem wir suchten, ohne jedes Problem. Ein paar Kreisverkehre waren allerdings nicht in der Datenbank, und gelegentlich war eine Linksabbiegung in Wirklichkeit die dritte Ausfahrt eines Kreisverkehrs (keine große Sache).

Die Einheiten sind im Stil eines Reihenhauses angeordnet, aber mit ausreichend Privatsphäre für jede Einheit. Durch die Betonwände waren keine Geräusche aus anderen Wohnungen zu hören. Wir wohnten in dem Apartment mit zwei Schlafzimmern und Blick auf Iguana. In jedem Schlafzimmer gab es eine Klimaanlage (die gut funktionierte). Es gab einen großen Ventilator für den Küchen-/Sitzbereich. Eine große Terrasse mit Esstisch befand sich außerhalb der Terrassenschiebetüren (mit Vorhängeschloss zur Sicherheit). Es war sehr luftig und angenehm, draußen zu sitzen, und wir haben alle unsere Mahlzeiten draußen gegessen.

Unter dem Waschbecken befand sich ein Tresor zur Aufbewahrung von Wertgegenständen. Für die Klimaanlage musste man einen Aufpreis zahlen, der sich für unseren Aufenthalt auf insgesamt 25 Dollar für beide Geräte belief (die wir nur zum Schlafen nutzten).

Wifi war AUSGEZEICHNET! Es gab drei verschiedene Zugangspunkte, die ich sehen konnte, dass Sie zugreifen konnte. Ich habe manchmal den Zugangspunkt gewechselt, je nachdem, welcher das stärkste Signal hatte. Videostreaming (Facetime, Netflix, Prime) war kein Problem. Auch Facebook und Instagram waren kein Problem :)

Es gab einen schönen Pool (stark gechlort) mit mehreren bequemen gepolsterten Liegestühlen um ihn herum. Ein wenig Schatten spendeten die Palmen. Ein überdachter Bereich mit Liegen befand sich ebenfalls am Pool. Der Pool und der Bereich waren für das nächtliche Schwimmen beleuchtet.

Eine einzelne Rolle Toilettenpapier und eine kleine Flasche Spülmittel waren vorhanden, aber keine Papiertücher oder Handseife. Diese Dinge müssen Sie selbst kaufen – zusätzlich zu den Lebensmitteln, die Sie benötigen. Die Küche war gut mit Utensilien und Geschirr ausgestattet. Ein Toaster, eine Panini-Presse und ein elektrischer Wasserkocher waren ebenfalls vorhanden.

Im Umkreis von 10 Autominuten gibt es mehrere kleine Supermärkte (einen in Tera Cora) und zwei oder drei weitere am Weg Naar Westpunt (der Hauptstraße). Ein großer Supermarkt im nordamerikanischen Stil (Centrum) war etwa 15-20 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt.

Die nächstgelegene Tankstelle war etwa 10 Minuten entfernt in Tera Cora. Hinweis: Sie bezahlen das Benzin zuerst an der Tankstelle, tanken das Auto auf und holen sich dann das Geld.

Frederieke und ihre Familie leben auf dem Gelände und war persönlich oder per SMS erreichbar. Sie war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend und erlaubte uns sogar, unser Gepäck in ihrem Büro zu lagern, nachdem wir ausgecheckt hatten, aber bevor wir am späten Nachmittag abreisten.

Als Ausgangspunkt für die Erkundung der Insel fuhren wir von einem Ende zum anderen. Die Straußenfarm im Osten der Insel war etwa 40 Minuten entfernt. Im Westen waren der Cristoffel Park und Shete Boka im Westen etwa 25 Minuten entfernt.

In der Nähe der Lodge:
Flamingo-Gebiet
Essen: Grote Berg Patat (großartige frittierte Snacks!), Daniel Restaurant (wir genossen ein ausgezeichnetes Frühstück und Abendessen), Ete Cafe de Buurvrouw (köstliches Abendessen in unserer ersten Nacht)
Strände: Cas Abao, Playa Porta Marie und Coraal/Karakter (atemberaubende Poolanlage mit Strandzugang und Plattform zum Springen ins Meer)

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in der Lodge und sie war ein guter Ausgangspunkt, um die ganze Insel zu erkunden. Frederieke hätte nicht freundlicher und hilfsbereiter sein können – ein wirklich wunderbarer Gastgeber. dms666

LIEBT ES

15-12-2018 Wir haben die Hütte genossen. Es war toll, schwimmen gehen zu können. Wir haben es geliebt, in unserer Küche zu kochen! Die Umgebung ist wunderschön! Viele hilfreiche Tipps, wo man hingehen kann. Sie halfen bei der Organisation eines Mietwagens und des Transports zum Flughafen. Seien Sie sich bewusst, dass dies auf dem Land ist – Hunde und Hähne sind ein häufiges Geräusch in der Nacht. Michelle

CLOSE TO EVERYTHING BUT WITH A RELAXING ATMOSPHERE

20-12-2018 I only wish I would have booked my entire trip at Jan Kok Lodges. First time to the island and JKL was our first stop of 3 on our 13-day journey. By far it was the best. It is centrally located and by the best beaches of the island. My husband and I enjoyed having coffee on the beautiful garden terrace in the morning, exploring the island all day and then having a nice quite zen place to decompress from our adventures. The owners are very friendly and helped make suggestions to make the island feel like our home. However, they were not so overly involved so that you felt like they were on vacation with you. If you are looking for a nice island feel and want to avoid staying in a tourist trap Jam Kok Lodges is for you. I can not wait to visit again BenH

BREATHTAKING

12-07-2018 I cannot rave enough about the Jan Kok Lodges. They are BREATHTAKING. The pictures are even better in real life. It is so beautiful and has every amenity. The hosts are very welcoming and made sure that we felt taken care of. A lovely place to stay! Jenny

WE LOVED OUR STAY

20-06-2018 Frederieke’s home is absolutely stunning. It is centrally located on the island, and truly beautiful. There is a large outdoor kitchen for communal use and a pool on the grounds. We stayed in the outdoor living studio, which also had a kitchen inside of it and a great porch to drink morning coffee and read on. In addition, Frederieke has compiled a very detailed list of everything to do on the island in a book that is located in the studio. We relied on it every day and it had excellent suggestions. During our time in Curacao, although the lodge is a bit off the beaten path, we felt very safe in our studio. We will definitely be back! Madison

TRANQUIL PLACE

14-03-2018 What a lovely place to stay if you like tranquility. The lodge was spacious, well furnished, plenty of towels, crockery etc. Excellent Wi-fi. A small pool for cooling down and lots of iguanas to admire. I would definitely come back here. Veertje2013

Trip to Dutch Caribbean

05-06-2017 Stayed at Jan Kok Lodges, Sint Willibrordus. Loved the accommodations. Very friendly atmosphere. Frederique, and Jeroen, are the perfect hosts. The Lodge is centrally located making it super easy to get to your favorite activity. Everything was arranged before we got there; we were picked up at the airport and our rental car was at the Lodge waiting for us. Would highly recommend this as the perfect place to explore the great island of Curacao. Willem K

We loved this place and the owners

05-01-2017 We had booked this accomodation many months ago, based on the reviews on TripAdvisor. We had been at Curacao many times before, but never so „remote“ from where the action is. It turned out to be a very good decision. The complex was very well maintained, lots of trees and plants and all very clean. Our appartment (Flamingo View) is scheduled to be renovated (kitchen, shower), but even like it is now, it is a very nice place. The view is so nice, quiet (except when there is a wedding party at the neighbours place) en also well maintained. We had some small issues during our (16 night) stay, but they were handeled by the owners on the spot. Every day the owners passed by to ask if all was ok. With the windows closed, the noise (animals) from outside was very acceptable. Also, the airconditioning that we used during the night in the bedroom was very quiet. Extra charge for the AC was NAF 140 for 16 nights.

A rental car is a must when you stay at Jan Kok (and also for most other locations a Curacao). The owers rent out cars or you can rent a car at the airport.

We have already booked our next stay and can’t wait to return.

Thank you Frederieke and Jeroen. Koekeloer

Absolute Wohlfühloase

06-07-23 Das Gelände der Jan Kok Lodges ist sagenhaft schön. Es wurde ein Garten angelegt, in dem sich die Häuschen und der Pool befinden. Wir haben uns absolut wohlgefühlt und würden sofort wiederkommen. Die Küche ist super ausgestattet und auch die Terrasse vor jeder Lodge stellt ein tolles Plätzchen da, an dem man essen und entspannen kann. Auch der Poolbereich ist super schön und lädt zum Entspannen ein. Pro Nacht haben wir zusätzlich noch 2€ für die Klimaanlage bezahlt, was aber absolut im Rahmen ist. Esther

Exceptional piece of paradise!

06-05-23 We’ve had a great experience staying at Jan Kok Lodges! The Bungalow was clean, private and had everything we needed for a great vacation. We rented a car from the owners. They picked us up at the airport and dropped us off, too. The check-in process went extremely smoothly. We were given a tour of the place and the premises and were handed the keys right away. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. Wifi speed was good. The garden looks ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS – like Paradise! The pool was really nice and clean. The place is located within 10-25min from the most beautiful beaches of the island, and about 15-18min from Centrum & Carrefour Supermarkets. We loved the privacy, and peace and quiet at the property. Frederieke was very responsive and helpful! Both, Frederieke and Jeroen made us feel welcome. Bobbie (their dog) was an absolute sweetheart. We couldn’t ask for better hosts! Svetlana

Recommend!

15-04-23 We had a lovely three night stay at Jan Kok lodges. Our Iguana view apartment had everything we needed, it was a small studio with double bed and kitchenette – although we actually cooked and sat in the outside kitchen! Paid a small extra few dollars for use of the AC. The surroundings are beautiful, and we saw plenty of iguanas and parrots while sat by the pool at sunset. Rented a car through Jan Kok as well, Frederieke was always helpful and responsive through messages. Would recommend! Georgina

Comfortable well maintained tropical garden from which to explore Curacao

15-01-2023 Waking to birdsong in a beautifully landscape tropical garden managed by a considerate and capable on site couple makes for an effortlessly comfortable lodging. We had a fully equipped kitchen, and a lovely spacious patio. Beaches are nearby and JKL is a great base from which to explore Curacao. We were provided beach towels and a cooler and ice-its to make visits to the beach fully equipped. Rob C

Schöne unterkunft

15-09-2022 Schöne Unterkunft inmitten der Natur. Wir haben den tollen Pool und die Ruhe genossen! Melanie

Sehr empfehlenswert

01-09-2022 Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in den Jan Kok Lodges sehr genossen. Das Hotel liegt in einem abgelegenen, ruhigen Teil der Insel, die abgelegenen Strände sind nur ein paar Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt und Willemstad ist nur eine 20-minütige Fahrt so eine perfekte Lage, wenn Sie für einen ruhigen, mehr low key Aufenthalt suchen. Die Gemeinschaftsbereiche (Pool und Außenküche) sind sehr gepflegt und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Wir können es nur empfehlen! Katie Parsons

Schöne und entspannte Lodge

13-01-2022 Ein so schöner, natürlicher und entspannter Ort für einen Aufenthalt auf Curaçao. Möchten Sie den Menschenmassen auf Curaçao entkommen? Dies ist Ihr Platz!
Wunderschöne Lodge mit atemberaubendem Blick auf die Flamingo/Salzseen in der Nähe. Die freundlichen Besitzer haben es geschafft, geräumige Lodges, schöne Gärten und schöne Aussichten zu kombinieren. Sehr zentral auf der Insel gelegen, so dass die Lage perfekt ist, um sowohl die Strände im Norden als auch im Süden Willemstad und mehr zu besuchen. Auf jeden Fall ein Ort, den man wieder besuchen sollte! Dirk

Perfect relaxing stay

01-11-2021 Don’t want to be in mass tourism? Then Jan Kok Lodge is the perfect place. Very quiet location near St Willibrordus and a great garden. Parking spaces available on the lodge grounds. Food and drink is self-sufficient (no bar or restaurant). The studios have their own kitchen and there is also (for the studios) a shared kitchen with seating. The owners are very helpful. There is also a small but nice swimming pool. Certainly not an unnecessary luxury after a day out Gerrie K

A perfect place in paradise!

01-06-2021 I was born in Curaçao and know the island well, so believe me when I say the Jan Kok Lodges is truly unique. The owners – Frederieke and Jeroen – have done a magnificent job in landscaping and you can tell they have put in heaps of love and attention into creating a lush, peaceful, tropical paradise away from crazy and busy tourism and on the more beautiful side of the island (the West side).
You’ll find everything you could possibly wish for there, even a coolbox to take with you to the beach (buy a bag of ice on the way, and you’re all set!), a barbecue, high quality pots and pans, colourful plates and so much more. I can’t even begin to describe how much attention there is for detail.
My boyfriend and I loved it, we particularly liked cooking in the ‚outside kitchen‘ (blender, toasting machine, grill – it’s all there) which has a really good library too and lovely, calming views. Some guests liked joining in which made for fun evenings, other guests preferred staying to themselves and there’s enough privacy (plus all your own facilities in your own studio too), so that’s not a problem either.
The pool area is comfy and quiet, with again beautiful views.. And from Jan Kok Lodges, you are really close to the more beautiful beaches and hiking trails. The beds are perfect.
Totally loved it.
ps – if you like partying or entertainment-type hotels, it’s better you look for a place/hotel in the city. We much prefer this. Aliefka B

beautiful stay

01-03-2021 We had a beautiful stay! The cabin has everything you need! Ferderieke & Jeroen are very helpful and committed. We can recommend this place! Nina

great stay

15-02-2021 My husband and I spent a week at the Jan Kok Lodges in February 2021. If you are looking for a 5* resort, this is not your place. However, it offers everything you may need. The kitchen is well equipped, the bed was very comfortable and the outdoor space and views were amazing. I got a chance to meet the housekeeping ladies one day and they were very sweet and very dedicated to make the place impeccable. I loved the countryside of Curacao (calmer, less crowded) and this place was perfectly located close to the most amazing beaches and dive sites. The owners were available and very helpful. Tere_Col

perfect place

20-11-2020 Perfect place if you seek to get away from all the hustle and bustle of other parts of the island. Set in a tropical, natural environment, this place has a lot of soul. You can tell immediately that the owners put a lot of effort into making this place charming and inviting. We especially liked the community kitchen and the fact that every unit has its own fridge. It is close to two of our favourite beaches on Curacao – Cas Abao and Portomari. Very much recommended! Would go back there any time! Robert

wonderful lodges, wonderful holidays

30-11-2019 We stayed here for 10 days and from the beginning till the end our holiday here was perfect. Frederieke and Jeroen are the best hosts. Our apartment was wonderful, clean and we did not miss a thing during our stay. But also the whole area with the palmtrees, flowers and the pool was so beautiful. There is no way to leave this place not fully relaxed! I recommend to follow them on Instagram for your daily dose of island vibes and their lodges! We will come back for sure! Priscilla

THE PERFECT PLACE

04-04-2019 Frederieke’s place was the perfect place to end our trip to Curacao. Very relaxing location in the country side. Our room was clean and had all the amenities to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. Truly beautiful property with friendly hosts. Garrett Bagg

Great for Budget Accommodation!

26-03-2019 Jan Kok Lodge was a great place for a budget accommodation. My husband and I went to Curacao for a quick and inexpensive dive trip and were very happy with the choice. The lodge is in the middle of no where, but is also 30 minutes to Willemstad and < 20 minutes to some of the best beaches on the island. If we stayed in Willemstad we would have been almost an hour to the best beaches so this was really great for us and the purpose of our trip.
We stayed in the outdoor studio and used the outdoor kitchen a couple of times. Everything is really nice and clean and updated.
Our one complaint was the bed in our room which was 2 mattresses pushed together. It was a little hard and would have been better if it was one mattress. Other than that, we had a great time! JennaGabriel

Lovely apartment in best conditions

20-03-2019 Lovely apartment in best conditions close to Curacao´s nicest beaches. The windy breeze brings fresh air to the estate day and night. Frederieke and her husband were very responsive and flexible. Robert Schmidt

WE REALLY ENJOYED OUR STAY

15-03-2019 We really enjoyed our stay with Jeroen and Frederieke, this place made our vacation even more special. The lodges are in a perfect location, closest to our favorite beaches in Curaçao. The accommodations were excellent with very thoughtful touches like outdoor showers, coolers for the beach, and bluetooth speakers (to name a few). The grounds have a beautiful garden with lots of lounge chairs, a pool, and plenty of nooks to relax with a book. After a day at the beach, it was so nice to take a dip in the pool, cook dinner, and sit back in our patio area. We took advantage of the large outdoor kitchen, but also appreciated the smaller private kitchen inside our studio and grill. We’d definitely love to visit again, and would recommend it to friends!

PERFECT PLACE TO STAY

15-01-2019 Perfect place to stay when vacationing in Curacao. Central location and near great beaches. Jeroen and Frederieke have created a lush garden environment through extensive landscaping. The entire pace is tranquil, but the garden bungalow where we stayed, even more so. The hosts live on the grounds and are very available and accommodating, without being intrusive. Michael Preisner

RELAXING

26-10-2018 Sweet, gentle and so relaxing and next to amazing beaches. A neat part of the island. A must see! Great experience! Larissa

GREAT HOST

06-09-2018 Great host and nice clean unit surrounded by beautiful gardens. It is out of the hustle and bustle of the city and close to many beautiful beaches. Lauren

Beautiful

28-02-2018 We loved Jan Kok lodges, the garden is a little oasis and the lodge is super cozy. Having comforts like netflix and an ice machine in the fridge were tiny bonuses that we really enjoyed although we mostly were outside. Also really beautiful surroundings. We liked the location as it’s close to great beaches but also not far from the city. The apartment we were in was also really spacious. Really nice place altogether. Per Johan

This is a big WOW

12-01-2018 Don’t hesitate to book this place. It’s an oasis of pure happiness! Hosts and staff are helpfull and discret, the apt are clean, quiet, spacious and well equipped. Large covered deck to chill. Pool is a blessing.Gardens are superb. It’s a home away from home. Perfect, really! Patsy G.

Just Superb

27-10-2017 We just returned from almost three weeks at the Jan Kok Lodges. Nearby to some of the world’s truly most beautiful bounty beaches. Porto Marie, 5 mins by car, Coral Estates beach 5 mins. Cas Abou beach (our favorite) 7 minutes away. Playa Khalki, Playa Grandi 20 minutes. You will see the most beautiful assortment of fish, swim with turtles (don’t forget your snorkeling set you will regret it forever), enjoy the white sandy beaches with plenty of umbrellas, and good dining (Karakter and Koraal).

If you want to enjoy the hustle and bustle of Jan Thiel and Mambo beach, they’re just a short 30 min. drive away, and Willemstad is only 20 minutes.

So much for the amazing geographic location of Jan Kok. Now with respect to the Lodges, tranquility would be the one word to describe it. Everything you need to have the most enjoyable, comfortable and most relaxing vacation, a true oasis. Beautiful grounds, beautiful refreshing pool, best mattress we’ve ever had in a vacation home, fully equipped kitchen, great airco and wall fan. Huge fridge and freezer and cool box for the beach. Great outdoor kitchen! Jeroen and Frederieke are so very nice and passionate owners with a great team. With this review and all the other raving ones, we’re afraid that we will need to book years in advance for our next visit :-). Mark

Perfect location to stay with super owners

05-08-2017 Loved the staff, enjoyed the Caribbean style, super wifi ! Loved the nature, garden and plants. We would definitely recommend this accommodation to everyone . Absolute super quality for a mid range price. john45dorego

Look no further – this is where you should stay

24-06-2017 We just spent a wonderful week on Curacao at Jan Kok Lodge. The grounds of Jan Kok are beautiful and well-kept. Frederique and Jeroen are very helpful, and our unit was clean, beautiful, and well-equipped (especially the very nice kitchen area). For many years we have chosen vacation rentals with their own kitchens because this cuts down on our travel costs and I don’t believe we have ever stayed anywhere with a kitchen this well-appointed. Everything you might need is there, including quality pots, pans, dishes, nice appliances, grill, etc. Each unit has it’s own porch and we loved sitting outside and visiting, as there always seems to be a very pleasant breeze on Curacao. There are other sitting areas as well where we enjoyed gathering– such as by the pool or in areas overlooking your surroundings. Iguanas and beautiful birds are found throughout the grounds. My son also loved petting the cats which stopped by to visit from time to time. It was a very easy arrangement to be picked up at the airport (Jeroen did this for us at 10 pm when we arrived the first evening–I couldn’t believe they were willing to do this for us so late in the evening) then we signed the agreement for the rental car with them when we got up the next day–and of course they took us back to the airport at the end. This made the trip so easy. The rental car worked well for us as well. Plus Frederique and Jeroen gave us plenty of information regarding getting around the island. We went to several different beaches on the island, but my favorite was very nearby and easy to access (Playa Porto Marie). This beach is stunningly beautiful, has nice chairs, plenty of shade, incredible snorkeling, free showers, a nice bar/ snack area, etc. I felt that the way the units are set up at Jan Kok ensured privacy and space for each group. They thought of many ways to make our stay wonderful–such as the thick blinds in our bedrooms that kept morning sunshine from pouring into our rooms and having plenty of towels (both beach and regular towels) always available to us. I had some mild concerns about the possibility that our belongings might be stolen in some areas of the island (you are warned not to leave belongings in the car), but Jan Kok was very safe because it is away from the primary roads and has a gate that is locked at night. I felt very comfortable there and there were days that I would have been happy just staying on the grounds of Jan Kok all day. After traveling around the island (and we went everywhere) during the week, I really believe this may be the very best choice on the island in terms of location, support for guests, reasonable pricing, and quality of accommodations. My only concern at any point was the air conditioning… as with everywhere on the island, air conditioning is expensive, so we only ran the units in the bedrooms at night (you pay extra for air conditioning here and, I believe, most places on Curacao). However, this did not add that much to our overall cost and we were comfortable throughout our stay, mostly due to the nice breezes and spending a lot of our time on the wonderful porch in the evenings. Jan Kok is highly recommended! Trisha44Colorado

Perfect accommodation

11-04-2017 In just one word: PERFECT! When visiting Curaçao you should definitely stay at this accommodation. The owners are so kind and helpful, the most beautiful beaches are nearby and the accommodation is lovely. Go visit Curaçao! Shirley V

LOVELY oasis to chill out and enjoy

16-01-2017 Really great little oasis close to the town of St Willibrordus. Not far from the city (31 k’s) and just a short drive to the island’s west side with its beautiful beaches and coves, and the spectacular Sete Bocas. It is very quiet here and every apartment has its own privacy, there are a few communual areas where you can go and socialise if you want to, and lots of comfortable seats around the pool. The apartments are very nicely decorated (you even get nice candles to burn) and fully equipped with a stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker and the most modern fridge. Very good, I really recommend this place. Ninka 76

RELAXING AND COMFORTABLE; A HOME IN THE CARIBBEAN

02-05-2018 Spent a week at Jan Kok Lodges. Joeren picked us up right away at the airport and had our rental car ready back at the lodge. Our Iguana Studio was perfect and located right across from the outdoor kitchen which I confess we never used but was a great space anyway. We used our little kitchenette in the room the only time we cooked. The pool was lovely and we spent our first couple hours and our last hours happily floating there. Central location is great and we easily managed to get to 6 different beaches; all of them spectacular. The owners are very agreeable and accommodating both during booking and while we were there. I plan on returning. KLaverty55

A wonderful place to stay!

07-01-2018 My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Jan Kok Lodges. The location was great, close to Christoffel National Park, a part of Curacao not many get to see. We traveled all around the island and found that this location was perfect as it is central, saving us from long drives! The owners are lovely and will give you notes on anything and everything Curacao. We look forward to traveling back to Curacao and staying at Jan Kok Lodges again! Sarawickline

Peaceful tranquility in well manicured setting

03-04-2017 Jan Kok is a privately owned property run by Frederieke and Jeroen and nothing is too much trouble -it has a perfect location to visit the wonderful beaches and you can walk to Wiiliwood and see the Flamingos on the salt flats and have a cold beer at the TOKO.

En route you will see all kind of wildlife from Iguanas to butterflies and tropical birds – the climate was lovely with gentle breeze in March and we sat on our patio and enjoyed the sunrise and fall with a BBQ most evenings.

There is a large supermarket 15 minutes away (we hired one of Jan Kok cars) which has fresh fish and meat with all sorts of local fruit and vegetables.

The villa has a fully equipped kitchen with superb fridge making ice and keeping cold slabs chilled for the beach cool box.

Internet is equally very good and gives a good selection of TV channels.

We stayed in Willemstad for three nights but much preferred the rural life.

Well worth a visit. Mark D.
