ABOUT US
Once you arrive at Amigunan, you will be welcomed by your hosts, Eldon and Hilly de Jongh. Although our family name sounds Dutch, we both are born and raised on Curaçao. We are the owners of the property and have lived here for quite some time. When then kids left the nest, we decided to open our home for guests. Since 2014 many guests have stayed at Amigunan. We also live on the resort in our own apartment.
Hilly takes pride in creating and maintaining the green oasis. You will often find her between the plants, under the trees or kneeling in the soil. Hilly manages the housekeeping and finance.
Eldon is responsible for the communication, reservation and maintenance. He also likes to entertain the guests and answer all possible questions they might have.
We are looking forward to welcoming you as soon as you are ready to enjoy paradise in Curaçao.
We wish you a relaxing and cheerful stay at Amigunan in Curaçao!
“Arrive as Guests and leave as Amigunan”
Local with locals
We are local and we work primarily with local individuals and companies. We’ve dedicated a whole page on local business that we would recommend.
Housekeeping and our pool service are subcontracted to local companies, that employ local employees. Always with a smile and enjoying to work for you at Amigunan.
For washing your clothes, we refer you to a laundry company down the road, where you can have your clothes washed, dried and folded for just a few bucks.
Green
We encourage all initiatives that support our tiny world to become greener.
We drive an EV (electrical vehicle), we do recycling, we heat the shower water with solar panels, we water the plants with deep well water by drip irrigation with water saving timers, and we share our harvested fruits with our personnel…and with you!
Bailey
Our mascot and most important ambassador to Amigunan is our Bailey. A combination of a pug and something else (some say a beagle, making her a “puggle”). Bailey is always hungry and will make you believe that she has not received any meal for the last two weeks.

We loved Amigunan and were sad to leave! It is a really lovely little apartment space and the garden is beautiful. I was so happy to meet Eldon and Hilly... read more and they showed us around the mini resort and introduced us to the other guests. Not to mention the pool space was so fun and relaxing! Eldon was also exceptionally helpful and communicative. We really enjoyed our stay and absolutely would come back! My only warning for mosquito-bite prone travelers is to bring some bug spray. For some reason I attract a lot of mosquitoes and got bitten quite a few times, but that is the price to pay for such a lovely garden! My friend did not have the same issue. Some TSA approved picaridin bug spray kept me comfortable

It was a pleasure staying there. Eldon and his wife were amazing to my friend and I. Anytime we needed something or had a question they were happy to provide... read more answers. The pool was amazing, if its chilly out you want to be in the pool its nice and warm at night. Rooms were clean with plenty of towels. The AC was on point, and the location is in the center of everything. I highly recommend renting a car, its great for getting around the island, taxis are very expensive. Or you can rent scooters.

I mentioned to Eldon we like to hike and he immediately hooked us up with a local guide who showed us Sint Joris Bay Area. I would definitely recommend staying here, we just felt right at home.

Using just a thousand words to describe our stay with Eldon and Hilly is simply impossible. The only way would be to use the phrase: 'mi casa, su casa'. Before... read more and during our stay they went above and beyond to makes us feel at home. Whether it was providing us with their own kitchen gear, or bringing fresh mango's from their garden: visiting with our entire family (3 generations) felt like visiting family.

The stay with Eldon and Hilly was fantastic! We spent five days at their home. The accommodation are private and separate however if you want to get to know... read more the other guests there is an opportunity to do that.We really enjoyed the resort like pool and outside amenities. The landscaping and pool was so relaxing and private we really felt like we had our own resort for the week! The location was fantastic and it was very easy to find things once we downloaded the correct apps. The App we would encourage you to try was we maps. The apartment was very clean and we would encourage you to bring a iPad or laptop to enjoy the free Wi-Fi but no TV. Also, don’t forget to bring your blow dryer. Hilly and Eldon are very friendly and very accommodating. They gave us several suggestions for shopping and restaurants. Three suggestions for Curaçao for food we would have for you is to try the wine cellar restaurant, cravings for sushi, and Pinchos for breakfast. Finally, don’t forget that the Mega Mart is very close by and the apartment comes with a full size refrigerator and outside kitchen.One last note, if you love to snorkel and swim Playa Knip beach is beautiful and all natural we would highly suggest making the drive it was one of the most beautiful beaches we enjoyed on Curaçao.
