Nice beach, plenty of space, beautiful area. Lot's of places to grab a drink of food. Many of the beaches you pay a small fee to use for the day. They often also charge for a chair rental. Good beach for families with kids. Easy to find when driving.

A beautiful and relaxing restaurant setting. I was expecting a great beach. There is very little sand. I estimate 40 meters of sandy beach front. Much less than 80 meters I read about. Water shoes would be helpful as it is very rocky out in the water. Good amenities. Clean wash rooms. Some sand courts with nets. The water was refreshing. Not very many waves. I went on Christmas Eve. I paid $6.00 Guilders entrance fee. Lounge chairs were $60.00 but none were available. Restaurant servers let me know I could not just put my thing on the sand, which complicated my experience.

Jan Thiel is my least favourite beach of Curaçao. The beach is very, very small. Stoney and some strong currents. So not ideal if you're with small children. Furthermore, I don't like the atmosphere and crowd. Let's say it's a mass tourism spot that's frequented by a lot of Dutch package deal people. Although it wasn't that busy when we where there due to tourism taking a Covid-19 hit. We left the beach quickly for a spot at Zest, which was better (but still not as good as Blue Bay).

Small free sand coast beach area. So many sunbed you cannot walk. Overcrowded, overpriced, very bad place for snorkeling. Restaurant food menu horrible, overpriced hamburger 36 dollar, ceasar salad 26, quadzella 23 dollar, near 8 dollar. Not much choice, lots of deep fried frozen unhealthy dutch bites. Cocktail 23 dollar.

The beach is beautiful, with warm blue waters! The infrastructure is very good, with bars, restaurants and a luxurious hotel. There are two infinity pools: one with sea water and the other with fresh water. The employees are helpful. The only drawback is transport, as public transport takes time and private transport is expensive.

Wednesday 20th April and we drove to visit this much talked about beach which is located on the southwestern area of the Island.

There is a charge of $3 entrance to the beach. Car parking here was a bit of a nightmare, so we parked up on the roadside and walked in and avoided being charged, just as well as we were only here for a look.

Although the beach is not very big, can only be about 300 metres long, it is definitely a mass tourism location. So many sunloungers squeezed it, almost on top of each other along the beach with some static umbrellas. It did not look very inviting or comfortable. There was a charge to use the loungers.

The beach is a mixture of white sand, coral, grit, stones with some rocks. It is a manufactured beach which is washed by the turquoise waters of the Southern Caribbean sea

There were a number of rather trendy bars and restaurants around.

Nice enough man made beach - although very busy. Snorkeling meant to be good although we didn't go. Cost $6 to enter but free after 4.30

This is definitely more resort based - restaurants, bars, shops (all a bit more expensive). If that is your thing then it is probably well worth it. We enjoyed other more rugged beaches in the island.

Highly recommended - beautiful beach, great cabanas and super service on site - we felt very comfortable here. Cabanas are very popular if you book them well in advance - there are drinks and snacks - all very tasty! You can spend the whole day here! The associated restaurant Zest is great, the food is very good.

I thought the beach was beautiful. It wasn’t terribly busy on a Friday afternoon. Admission price and beach chair rental prices were very inexpensive. The beach itself was clean and well-kept, the water was warm and beautiful, the bottom of the beach was also very sandy with not too too many rocks. The water does get deep but the beach seems to be in a bay, so we didn’t have any waves. There were also a few cute little beach restaurants with great frozen mixed drinks, tons of seating, and the beach overall was pretty quiet. We had a great day here!

I spent the day at Jan Thiel. I rented a chair and had lunch at the Parrot. The kids ⁇ the saltwater pool and we went to the next beach to snorkel. A lot of marine life, but the beach is artificial and not even compared to the beauties of the beaches it has on the west side. We had dinner and I went back Pro hotel. I didn't stay overnight because I was having a child. If you have a few days in Curaçao you can not visit or go just a day to meet.
