This was a great property for many people and the pictures did not do it justice. We have traveled all over the world and Curacao had some of the most beautiful water I have ever seen- fish everywhere.
We had 11 people in total with teens, 5 year old, and 21 year old kids. The house was in a great location. We brought our own snorkel masks and could walk in right from the beaches- 3 very close (within 5 min)to the house. You could walk to the beach, but the walk back would be tough uphill. Plenty of parking, so it was never an issue. We went beach hopping around the island-one beach had tons of turtles to swim with, another cliff jumping, another white sand beaches, and all free if you drive. We went into the town for the casino, different restaurants, and tourist shopping. The guide from the owner was perfect and we did almost everything she listed in addition to the trip advisor top 10 beaches and things to do. There were excursions from near the property but the driving was easy enough.
A few things you might want to know-
Restaurant service is VERY slow- plan 1-2 hours from time of ordering which took us a day or 2 to figure out that it was like that everywhere. You can order food from pretty close to the house if you don't cook.
Even though the house is all open air- we had very little bugs other than mosquitos. Bring citronella candles as they were tough to find, and lots of bug spray. Some of us never got bit and others had many bites, so it was random. The early morning and evening were tough, but the rest of the day the bugs were minimal.
Olga the property manager was local and very responsive.
We went over New Year's and got to watch the firework show right from the deck.
We would all go back and had an amazing time!
