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.

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.

The Stay at the Tropisch mini Resort was a unique experience!
We felt very comfortable and welcomed from the very first day.
Eldon and his Wife Hilly are very hearty... read more and OF COURSE not to forget: THE CUTEST AND LOVELIEST DOG BAILEY!
They made us feel like Home and this resort also taught us to forget the time completely and just lean back and relax.
Eldon and Hilly are are very helpful and they can always give you the best advices to your vacation in Curacao.
The Apartment was big and clean and equipped with everything we needed and one thing I have to say is that the open Kitchen is amazing for cooking!!
You can reach every point of the island very good by car but you will need a car to explore the whole island!
To put it in a nutshell, It was so amazing that I didn´t want to go back to Germany , so we definately will come back and visit this little Resort again. We hope that Bailey will remember us then !! 🙂

Wow, where to begin!? The moment we arrived, Eldon, Hilly, (and Bailey) made all of us feel very welcomed. We stayed at the MeiMei apartment, and everything about the place... read more felt like a fairytale. The pictures here on Airbnb do not do justice to the real thing. The rooms, the pool, the backyard, the people, everything was magical! Four of us visited Bettina, Jonas, Charlie, and I. Since we are kind of young (early 20s), we felt that Eldon and Hilly were like our parents because they cared so much about us 🙂 We always felt safe in the apartment and in the neighborhood as well. The atmosphere was extremely relaxed and comfortable. Throughout our stay, Eldon provided us with great tips on which places to visit. Overall, we all had an amazing vacation because of where we stayed and because of our hosts. There are so many places to visit in this world, but we all agree that we would visit Curacao again, and of course stay at the beautiful Tropisch mini resort.
Masha danki 🙂
