Casa Marise or Sun Reef Village on Curacao

[wwbbd]

I am wondering if anyone has first hand information on either of these vacation rentals on Curacao. We are planning our first trip to Curacao next July and plan to stay at Casa Marise. This will be primarily a snorkeling trip, but we may dive also. How is this particular area of the island for snorkeling and diving. These rentals are in the Boka Sami area.
Thanks.

Casa Marise is beautiful! But may not be best for snorkeling.

Thanks for the photo link. That's definitely the Casa Marise patio. Is it too deep for snorkeling, or just not much to see. Did you enjoy staying in that more neighborhood-like area?

Don't know the Casa Marise, but do know Sun Reef.
I just loved it and due to it's surrounding wall, it's very safe.
The Boca Sami village is small but friendly, and the local diveschool "Wederfoort" is one of, if not the oldest on the island. Very friendly owners and staff.

I realize this is an old post, I was just wondering if someone can recommend a similar small villa (1-2 BR), that is good for snorkeling.
