We rented an apartment in "The Hill". Very spacious apartment, new and clean Gorgeous, huge balcony with great view over the resort and the sea. The whole apartment is air-conditioned (which we needed, even in December, as you can't get a breeze through the apartment). The kitchen was fairly well equipped for cooking simple meals. The beach at Blue Bay is very nice but quite small. Get there by 10am to get a lounger and some shade. Snorkeling right off the beach is excellent - lots of fish.
Unless you want to eat all your meals at the beach restaurant and spend every day at the beach (or golfing) you will need a car. Blue Bay is in a good location on Curacao - only 10 minutes to a supermarket, 20 minutes from Willemstadt and 45 minutes from the North of the island. Curacao has many lovely beaches to explore (try Cas Abou and Porto Marie) and the old part of Willemstadt is well worth a visit.
